Poste Italiane (IT0003796171) reported provisional control of 85.82 percent of Telecom Italia on September 28, 2026, after the reopened offer period ended. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was trading at EUR 24.55 on October 5, 2026 at 3:34 p.m. CEST, up 0.61 percent versus the prior close of EUR 24.40.

TIM stake reaches 85.82 percent

According to Poste Italiane on September 28, 2026, the reopened acceptance period added 409,957,676 TIM shares, taking the provisional holding to 1,832,917,988 shares, equal to 85.822 percent of TIM's share capital.

The result did not meet the conditions for a squeeze-out right or joint procedure. The increased consideration for each tendered TIM share comprised 0.218 newly issued Poste shares and EUR 1.97 in cash, with payment set for October 2, 2026.

Revenue provides an operating counterweight

Poste's operating figures provide a separate reference point as the group absorbs a much larger telecoms exposure. Rankia reported that first-half 2026 revenue reached EUR 6.8 billion, up 5.90 percent from the first half of 2025, while adjusted operating profit rose 7.00 percent to EUR 1.8 billion.

The comparison matters because the TIM transaction changes the investor calculation from a standalone postal, payments and financial-services story into an integration case. The company must now balance the operating momentum visible in the first half of 2026 against the funding, dilution and execution demands of the telecoms combination.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 24.55 was 16.72 percent below the EUR 29.48 52-week high and 27.33 percent above the EUR 19.28 low, using the same euro-denominated range. Finance data put Poste Italiane's market capitalization at EUR 31.8 billion on October 5, 2026.

The next scheduled company milestone is the approval of the interim report for the period ended September 30, 2026, set for November 11, 2026, on the investor calendar of Poste Italiane. The Q3 and nine-month results presentation is scheduled for November 12, 2026.
