B2Impact (Buy, TP: NOK10.70) - Strong collection performance

Q1 PTP increased by 3% YOY, following a long-awaited drop in financial costs, largely on improved funding margins and a lower debt base. Collection performance remained solid, with unsecured collections at 105% of management’s forecast, and a positive revaluation after “sustained overperformance”. The company reiterated its disciplined investment outlook, along with its guidance of lower run-rate financing costs, prompting us to raise our 2025–2026e EPS by 1–2%. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK10.7 (10.5).
