Despite pressure on earnings from one-off costs in Q4, B2 Impact continues to report collection performance comfortably above 100%, while targeting a further ramp-up of NPL investments in 2025. We believe the aim of keeping DPS at NOK1.50 for 2025 supports our investment case, with the stock trading at a 2026e P/ B of ~0.7x. We have made limited EPS revisions for 2025–2026e, reiterating our BUY and NOK12 target price.
Helped by solid unsecured collection performance and a growing ERC book, we see NPL revenue up 4% YOY, while earnings could receive further support through a continued drop in funding cost YOY. The portfolio acquisition announced in December of ~EUR100m is expected to close in Q1, supporting growth in ERC and collections. For Q4, we expect the board to propose a DPS of NOK1.50. We highlight the limited funding risk and outlook for high shareholder distributions, and have raised our target price ...
Q3 cash EBITDA was down 13% YOY, as reduced secured collections and normalised REO sales offset lower opex and stronger unsecured collections. With an improved capital structure, the company is preparing to step up investments in Q4, reiterating its NOK2.5bn–3.0bn investment guidance for 2024. We have made limited EPS revisions for 2025–2026e, and reiterate our BUY and NOK11 target price.
