The latest update is out from Encore Capital ( (ECPG) ).
On May 12 and 13, 2026, Encore Capital Group announced and then priced a private offering of senior secured floating rate notes due 2033, upsizing the deal from €300 million to €325 million, with interest set at three-month EURIBOR, subject to a 0% floor, plus 3.25% per annum. The euro notes, alongside a previously launched $750 million 6.625% senior secured notes due 2032, are part of a broader refinancing that will fully redeem Encore’s €415 million senior secured floating rate notes due 2028, retire $500 million of 9.25% notes due 2029, and produce a net repayment of borrowings under its revolving credit facility, reshaping its debt stack and likely lowering overall funding costs.
The transactions, conducted via private placements to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. investors, also extend Encore’s debt maturities into the next decade while keeping its capital structure secured by substantially all of the company’s and its key subsidiaries’ assets. For stakeholders, the move signals active balance sheet management aimed at reducing interest expense, improving liquidity flexibility and aligning Encore’s funding structure with its long-term strategy in the consumer debt purchasing market.
The most recent analyst rating on (ECPG) stock is a Buy with a $108.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Encore Capital stock, see the ECPG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on ECPG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ECPG is a Outperform.
The score is driven by strong guidance and operational momentum from the latest earnings call, supported by a very low P/E and a bullish intermediate/long-term technical trend. Offsetting these positives are elevated leverage and a history of earnings/cash-flow volatility, which increase risk if the operating environment weakens.
