Kruk (ISIN PLKRK0000010) reported management share transactions dated September 28, 2026, while Kruk stock stood at PLN 366.30 on October 5, 2026, down 17.39 percent over one year. The share price was inside a PLN 363.60 to PLN 510.00 52-week range, giving investors a clear contrast between the latest level and the yearly high.

Management activity meets a weak chart

According to KRUK, the company published a September 28, 2026 notification concerning transactions received under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation. The announcement gives the market a dated governance and ownership signal as the stock remains 28.17 percent below its 52-week high of PLN 510.00.

The market capitalization was PLN 7.2 billion as of October 5, 2026. The combination of a PLN 366.30 share price and a PLN 363.60 yearly low leaves only PLN 2.70 between the latest level and that low.

First-half profit fell as recoveries rose

In its first-half 2026 results, KRUK reported net profit of PLN 555.0 million, down 5.00 percent from the first half of 2025. Recoveries from purchased debt portfolios increased 5.00 percent to PLN 2.01 billion, while cash EBITDA rose 8.00 percent to PLN 1.40 billion.

Total revenue reached PLN 1.57 billion in the first half of 2026, down 2.00 percent year over year. The different directions matter: cash generation improved even as accounting revenue and net profit declined, leaving portfolio recoveries as the more constructive operating indicator.

Third-quarter report has a date

The investor-relations calendar lists the consolidated third-quarter 2026 report for October 27, 2026. That date gives the next scheduled checkpoint for testing whether higher recoveries and cash EBITDA can offset the pressure visible in first-half net profit.

At June 30, 2026, estimated remaining collections stood at PLN 27.23 billion, according to SII. The figure represents expected future collections from purchased portfolios and is materially larger than the current equity value, but it depends on repayment timing, costs and forecast revisions.

Stock stays near its yearly low

Kruk shares stood at PLN 366.30 on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026, against a PLN 363.60 52-week low and a PLN 510.00 high. The next reporting date and the first-half cash figures are the main numerical markers for assessing whether the operating recovery can broaden beyond collections.
