PKO Bank (PLPKO0000016) stock trades at EUR 25.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026, while the bank prepares to publish third-quarter results. PKO Bank Polski reported on October 20, 2026 that BlackRock had increased its share of voting rights above 5 percent.

Three dates show the changing picture

The recent sequence combines a new shareholder signal with higher mortgage-related risk costs. On September 29, 2026, PKO Bank completed an eight-year senior non-preferred bond issue with a nominal value of PLN 1.35 billion, according to Stockd. On October 13, 2026, the bank estimated legal-risk costs linked to foreign-currency mortgages at PLN 371 million for the third quarter, according to Bankier.pl. The October 20 notification from BlackRock is the latest event.

When are the next investor dates?

PKO Bank lists November 5, 2026 for publication of its third-quarter results. The investor calendar also names the CEE Capital Markets Conference in New York for November 18-19, 2026, according to PKO Bank Polski. Those dates give investors a defined timetable for assessing the effect of mortgage settlements and the bank's operating performance.

What does the risk charge mean?

The third-quarter legal-risk estimate was PLN 74 million higher than the PLN 297 million recorded in the second quarter, according to Wirtualna Polska. The same report said group net income reached PLN 5.29 billion in the first half of 2026, while full-year 2025 net income was PLN 10.68 billion. The comparison puts the new provision against a still substantial earnings base, but it also makes the November report important for measuring the final effect on profit.
