Oesterreichische Post (ISIN AT0000APOST4) completed the acquisition of 100 percent of Serbian parcel carrier D Express on October 1, 2026, while the stock was at EUR 31.13 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026, at 10:06 a.m. CEST, 14.60 percent below its EUR 36.45 52-week high. The deal puts the integration of D Express and City Express at the center of the group's parcel expansion.

Three milestones shape the strategy

The company's recent chronology shows a shift toward logistics growth. On May 8, 2026, Oesterreichische Post reported first-quarter revenue of EUR 770.7 million, according to MarketScreener. On August 7, 2026, its first-half revenue rose 3.80 percent to EUR 1.544 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. On October 1, 2026, the company completed the D Express takeover, according to OTS.

What does the Serbian deal add?

D Express brings 27 delivery hubs, 35 parcel shops and 1,300 employees, according to OTS. Management plans to combine its infrastructure and operating capabilities with City Express, creating a larger Serbian parcel platform. The financial trade-off is clear in the latest interim figures: first-half EBITDA fell by EUR 11.7 million to EUR 187.7 million, while EBIT stood at EUR 73.3 million, according to Yahoo Finance.

When are the next results due?

The next scheduled company date is November 12, 2026, when Oesterreichische Post is due to release third-quarter results, according to MarketScreener. That report will show whether parcel growth and the Serbian integration can offset pressure in mail and parts of the international logistics business.

The stock's EUR 31.13 Lang & Schwarz price on October 21, 2026, is 14.60 percent below the EUR 36.45 52-week high and above the EUR 29.40 low.
