** Due to this favourable backdrop the brokerage upgrades Nordnet SAVE.ST to "buy" from "hold"
** It raises its PT for the Nordic platform by 25% to SEK 400 as sector valuations have returned to their long-term average
** Berenberg reiterates "buy" rating on peers flatexDEGIRO FTKn.DE and FinecoBank Banca Fineco FBK.MI while maintaining "hold" on Avanza AVANZ.ST and Swissquote SQN.S
