Danske Bank flags El Nino as rising physical climate risk for companies and investors
  • Danske Bank analysis flagged rising investor focus on a potential 2026-27 “Super El Niño” as a near-term physical climate risk.
  • ECMWF SEAS5 projected a peak anomaly near 2.95°C, while NOAA’s CFSv2 projected about 4.14°C, both above typical El Niño thresholds.
  • Stronger events can disrupt operations, supply chains, logistics, costs, and demand, shifting risks rapidly into earnings and valuations.
  • Nordic-listed companies face mainly overseas exposure via assets, suppliers, and trade chokepoints, with heat identified as the dominant hazard.
  • Low water levels at the Panama Canal during 2023-24 was cited as a recent example of climate-driven shipping bottlenecks.
