B2Impact (Buy, TP: NOK10.50) - Improved funding outlook
We expect strong unsecured collections in Q1, building on 10% higher unsecured ERC YOY, which should offset the gradual decline in the secured segment. Interest rates have started to flatten in recent months, which, together with bond refinancing at favourable terms, should ease earnings pressure. We have made limited 2025–2026e EPS changes, and reiterate our BUY and NOK10.5 target price.B2holding ASA.
