“In the first quarter of 2026, Hoist Finance’s FX-adjusted profit before tax rose by 32 per cent compared with the first quarter of 2025. During the quarter, we invested SEK 2 billion in new portfolios and delivered a return on equity of 19.5 per cent. We qualified as a specialised debt restructurer, signed an agreement to acquire Azzurro Associates in the UK and launched our savings offering, HoistSpar, in Spain. In a time marked by geopolitical uncertainty, Hoist Finance stands strong with continued stable collection levels, resilience built into the business model, robust capital levels and ample liquidity in a continued active NPL-market”, says Harry Vranjes, CEO of Hoist Finance.
Key events in the first quarter 2026
