Axactor (Hold, TP: NOK4.60) - Challenging collection climate

Soft collections in the Nordic and German markets, and corresponding portfolio revaluations, led to a 9% YOY drop in total income in Q1. Although the EUR100m–200m annual investment target was reiterated, we expect modest activity short-term due to limited NPL volumes at attractive prices. We have cut our 2025–2026e EPS by 10–14%, primarily reflecting lower collections, lowered our target price to NOK4.6 (6.8), and downgraded the stock to HOLD (BUY).
