Intrum Warns Late Payments Are Threatening European Growth

Intrum Justitia AB ( (SE:INTRUM) ) has shared an update.

Late payments across Europe have risen above 12 percent of revenues, surpassing what businesses consider a sustainable threshold and putting pressure on cash flow, according to Intrum’s 29th European Payment Report. More than half of companies say these delays have already caused them to miss growth targets, indicating that payment behaviour is becoming a critical indicator of business stability and a drag on the wider economy.

The report finds late payments are triggering a chain reaction in supply chains, with 62 percent of firms admitting they then pay their own suppliers late and the B2B payment gap widening to 20 days from 16. While 64 percent of companies still rank growth as their top priority and many are tightening payment discipline and credit assessments, AI-driven payment tools are being adopted unevenly, leaving skills gaps that could limit their ability to strengthen resilience as payment risks are expected to rise.

The most recent analyst rating on (SE:INTRUM) stock is a Hold with a SEK54.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Intrum Justitia AB stock, see the SE:INTRUM Stock Forecast page.
