(Reuters) -Shares in Italian debt collector doValue rose as much as 14% on Thursday to their highest level since September 2024 after the company upgraded its 2026 guidance and reported strong first-half results late on Wednesday.

The company's shares were up 11.4% to 2.72 euros ($3.18) at 08:33 GMT.

DoValue's first-half core profit excluding non-recurring items rose to 99.1 million euros, up 47.2% year-on-year, driven by a strong performance in Italy and continued growth in higher-margin non-NPL (non-performing loans) products.

The company now expects 2026 revenue of 800 million euros, up from a previous forecast of 480-490 million euros, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-recurring items of 300 million euros, above its earlier guidance of 185-195 million euros.

Analysts at Banca Akros said they expect the results to increase visibility on the company's 2025 dividend payment.
