B2 Impact raises 2026 profit target after Q2 earnings jump

B2 Impact, a debt management firm based in Norway, has raised its 2026 profit target following a strong performance in the second quarter. The company reported that its adjusted earnings per share for Q2 increased by 21% compared to the same period last year, reaching NOK 0.66. This encouraging news prompted B2 Impact to raise its full-year earnings per share target to at least NOK 2.25, up from a previous forecast of NOK 2.10.

Additionally, the firm has increased its return on equity target for 2026 to approximately 16%, up from 14%. The company's investment target for 2026 has also been raised to at least NOK 4 billion, from the previous forecast of NOK 3.5 billion. The increase in earnings can be attributed to higher unsecured collections during the quarter, which offset lower secured collections.

B2 Impact's second-quarter investments were primarily focused on unsecured portfolios, while secured assets were acquired through a buyout by a joint venture partner. The firm's funding structure remains solid and diversified, supporting growth while maintaining low levels of leverage.
