MOL (ISIN HU0000153937) was trading at EUR 13.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026, at 10:17 a.m. CEST. The Hungarian energy company confirmed that talks on acquiring a majority stake in Serbian oil group NIS can continue through October 30, according to Infostart on October 14, 2026.

NIS talks face October 30 deadline

The transaction concerns a 56.15 percent stake in Naftna Industrija Srbije. MOL said it received permission on September 30, 2026, to continue negotiations, while the deal still requires approval from the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control and other authorities, Infostart reported.

The chronology shows how the transaction has developed. On July 31, 2026, MOL announced the purchase of 100 percent of BG Cyprus for USD 720 million. On September 29, 2026, Patria Finance raised its 12-month MOL target from HUF 4,000.00 to HUF 5,300.00. On October 14, 2026, MOL confirmed that NIS negotiations could continue until October 30.

What does the valuation imply?

The latest reported operating comparison came in the second quarter of 2026: revenue was HUF 2.91 trillion against a HUF 3.23 trillion forecast, while earnings per share reached HUF 326.00 versus HUF 164.54 expected, according to Investing.com. That gap makes the upcoming earnings date important for judging whether the NIS negotiations are the central valuation driver or one element in a broader earnings story.

Next dates for MOL investors

October 30, 2026 is the deadline attached to the current negotiating permission. The next earnings report is scheduled for November 6, 2026, according to Investing.com.
