Credit Corp Group's (ASX:CCP) reduction in US purchasing guidance was a key negative in its fiscal first half results, as it lowered the guidance from between AU$200 million and AU$230 million to between AU$160 and AU$180 million despite the US division posting an AU$11.7 million profit, according to a Tuesday Australian Financial Review report, citing Morgans Analyst Steven Sassine.

The company reported Tuesday fiscal first-half earnings of AU$0.641 per share, unchanged from the same period a year earlier.

According to Sassine, investment in ANZ debt ledger is expected to rise between AU$120 million and AU$150 million, offsetting softer investment from the US, which is expected to support fiscal 2026 profit guidance of AU$100 million to AU$110 million, with a second-half increase of around AU$61 million.
