Swedbank's status was cut to "sell" from "neutral". SEB was added to a "conviction sell" list.
"A combination of fierce competition in Sweden and Europe's least attractive eastern European exposure make the Swedish banks an unattractive investment in our view," Goldman Sachs analysts wrote in a separate note.
Eastern Europe offers banks "attractive long-term growth," while investors should be selective amid an uneven economic recovery in the region, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said.
