Axactor (Hold, TP: NOK4.30) - Modest collection environment

We forecast Q2 EBITDA of EUR33m, 2% higher YOY, as we expect a continued modest collection trend. Despite strong profitability on recent portfolio investments, NPL volumes are likely to remain at the low end of the guidance for 2024. Market interest rates continued to stabilise during the quarter, with forward curves pointing further downwards, providing relief from the high funding costs in recent quarters. We have cut our 2025–2026e EPS by ~4% and our target price to NOK4.3 (4.6). However, we reiterate our HOLD.
