WDP (ISIN BE0974349814) completed a EUR 400.0 million capital increase on October 2, 2026, issuing 20,618,556 new shares at EUR 19.40 each. The transaction expands the funding base for logistics property investments in Germany, Italy and the company's established European markets, according to WDP on October 2, 2026.

What the raise means for WDP

The new shares lifted WDP's total share count to 262,567,638 fully paid-up shares. That is a 8.52 percent increase based on the company's stated share count after the transaction and the 20,618,556 newly issued shares.

The issue price of EUR 19.40 gives the transaction a clear market reference. WDP's Euronext Brussels quote stood at EUR 19.24 on October 6, 2026 at 4:37 p.m. CEST, EUR 0.44 above the prior close of EUR 18.80, or plus 2.34 percent.

Capital goes toward expansion

WDP describes itself as a logistics real estate specialist operating along key European logistics axes. Its investor hub identifies six European regions and lists Germany as a core market, while Italy represents a newer direction for capital deployment.

The capital increase also changes the balance between growth spending and per-share metrics. Existing shareholders face a larger share count, while the company gains equity to fund acquisitions and developments without relying solely on additional debt. The outcome will depend on whether new assets generate returns above the cost of the capital raised.

Stock stays below its yearly high

The October 6 Euronext Brussels quote was EUR 7.00 below the 52-week high of EUR 26.18, a gap of 26.74 percent. The quoted 52-week low was EUR 18.56, placing the share EUR 0.68 above that level.

WDP's market capitalization was EUR 4.6 billion on October 6, 2026. The company is listed on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam and is part of the BEL 20, according to its investor information. The immediate investor calculation is straightforward: the raise provides EUR 400.0 million of fresh equity, while the additional shares require future growth to translate into higher per-share results.
