Oesterreichische Post (ISIN AT0000APOST4) was trading at EUR 31.03 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 9:04 a.m. CEST, 0.75 percent above the Xetra close of October 9, 2026 at EUR 30.80. The latest company event was a EUR 47.80 million settlement reached with the Republic of Austria on September 11, 2026, as Trading-Treff reported.

Three dated milestones

On June 30, 2026, revenue for the second quarter stood at EUR 773.30 million and net income at EUR 6.90 million, according to TickerLandia. On September 2, 2026, Montega kept its EUR 38.00 price target, according to Trading-Treff. On September 11, 2026, the company agreed to pay EUR 47.80 million for historical civil-servant social contributions, the same report said.

What does parcel growth mean?

The operating mix remains the key counterweight to the settlement. In the first quarter of 2026, domestic letter deliveries fell 9.00 percent year over year to 109.70 million, while parcel volume rose 6.70 percent to 104.70 million pieces, according to Trading-Treff. That comparison shows why parcel growth is strategically important: it is expanding while the traditional letter business is contracting.

Dates and valuation context

The next quarterly results are scheduled for November 12, 2026, according to TickerLandia. The EUR 38.00 Montega target stands EUR 6.97 above the Lang & Schwarz price, while the stock remains EUR 5.42 below its 52-week high of EUR 36.45. The target and the yearly high use different reference points, so neither replaces the other in assessing the stock.
