The verdict28 October 2026New

Intrum

The debt collector who fell behind on his own promise

Intrum spent two years telling the market it would grow. On Friday it said this year will be smaller than last. Nobody has broken a law. That is the uncomfortable part.

Delivered
793 planes delivered; profit and cash on target19 February 2026
Verdict
Partly kept Near miss

Their reason: A quality problem on the body panels of its best-selling plane forced a cut in December. Profit and cash held.

Will Novo Nordisk's sales drop less than 3% in 2026?

YesMax Noble Odds1.82+40 XPNoMax Noble Odds2.22+40 XP

Max Noble Odds: 55% chance they keep it. Against the odds you win more, and lose more. The 2026 annual report settles it, expected 3 February 2027.

The law of the weekThe 52 Laws of Business Power

Law No. 2: Own What the Supplier Cannot Price

Denmark, 1989. A Dane who wanted a Mac went to the shop that became Humac. For more than three decades the shop was where Denmark met the Mac, at one point in 22 stores.
