PKP Cargo (PLPKPCR00011) was last at PLN 10.55 on the GPW on October 5, 2026 at 4:59 p.m. CEST, as the company entered a management reset during court-supervised restructuring. As Parkiet reported on October 1, 2026, the chief executive and two board members resigned, while Monika Starecka was appointed interim chief executive from October 2 through December 31, 2026.

Management shifts during restructuring

The change followed a September 29, 2026 decision by the Warsaw court to withdraw PKP Cargo's permission to manage the entire business within ordinary management limits. According to Parkiet, court-appointed administrator Pawel Glodek took over ordinary management while the company continued freight operations and customer service.

The governance change matters because the restructuring plan must run alongside daily transport operations and negotiations with creditors. PKP Cargo combines rail, road and maritime logistics and operates freight services in Poland and several other European countries, according to PPCG Stock.

Profit returns in first half

The latest financial report provides a second anchor for the stock story. PKP Cargo generated PLN 117.8 million of net income attributable to the parent company's shareholders in the first half of 2026, compared with a PLN 17.9 million loss in the first half of 2025, according to Parkiet.

Revenue from customer contracts reached PLN 1,840.3 million, up from PLN 1,821.2 million a year earlier, a 1.0 percent increase. First-half EBITDA rose to PLN 159.8 million from PLN 140.2 million, a 14.0 percent gain, while earnings per share reached PLN 2.63 compared with a PLN 0.40 loss per share a year earlier, according to PPCG Stock. The comparison shows a sharp earnings recovery despite modest revenue growth.

Market share reaches 26.33 percent

Operating data add a more constructive demand signal. PKP Cargo's share of Poland's rail freight market by cargo weight reached 26.33 percent after August 2026, compared with 25.66 percent a year earlier, while its share by transport work was 26.83 percent versus 25.26 percent, reported Bankier.pl on September 30, 2026.

The share-price context remains demanding. PLN 10.55 is PLN 0.69 above the 52-week low of PLN 9.86 and PLN 6.65 below the 52-week high of PLN 17.20, while market capitalization stood at PLN 472.5 million and trading volume reached 78,394 shares on October 5, 2026. The restructuring timeline and operating execution therefore remain central to how the earnings recovery is valued.

PKP Cargo stock stays in restructuring mode

PKP Cargo stock was last at PLN 10.55 on the GPW on October 5, 2026 at 4:59 p.m. CEST. The company is scheduled to publish its consolidated third-quarter 2026 report on November 27, 2026.
