Kruk (PLKRK0000010) was trading at EUR 78.64 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:24 a.m. CEST. The debt-management group estimated PLN 198 million in consolidated net profit for the third quarter, while nine-month profit reached PLN 753 million, according to Placera on October 16, 2026.
What changed in the estimates?
The preliminary third-quarter figures point to a weaker profit outcome alongside continued cash generation. Estimated cash EBITDA was PLN 651 million in the quarter and PLN 2.052 billion for the first nine months, while estimated net debt to cash EBITDA stood at 2.7. The figures remain preliminary and are due to be replaced by the final report.
The company also linked the result to recoveries from debt portfolios. The October 16 announcement said the final third-quarter report would be released on October 27, 2026, giving investors a defined date for checking the estimate against the reported figures.
