Oesterreichische Post stock was trading at EUR 30.70 on the Vienna Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, down 0.32 percent from the prior close. The company enters the final quarter with H1 revenue growth, but a sharp decline in operating profit keeps execution central for investors.

Revenue grows while EBIT falls

According to PostEurop on August 7, 2026, group revenue increased 3.8 percent to EUR 1,544.0 million in the first half of 2026. The comparison is mixed: EBITDA fell 5.9 percent to EUR 187.7 million, while EBIT dropped 22.0 percent to EUR 73.3 million.

The strongest operating contribution came from E-Commerce and Logistics, where revenue rose 11.5 percent to EUR 910.9 million in H1 2026. Austrian parcel volumes increased 9 percent, while Mail, Branch and Services revenue declined 7.4 percent to EUR 566.1 million, according to PostEurop.

Parcel growth faces margin pressure

The H1 figures show why revenue growth alone does not settle the investment case. Parcel demand is expanding, but falling letter volumes, telecommunications restructuring and competition in international markets reduced earnings before interest and taxes by EUR 20.7 million against the prior-year period.

Austrian Post also reported EUR 4.2 million of H1 EBIT from bank99 and continued expanding its service network. The company had 3,000 postal points in Austria during the first half of 2026, while its 2026 outlook called for slight revenue growth and operating earnings within the range of recent years, according to PostEurop.

Stock stays below yearly high

At EUR 30.70 in Vienna on October 7, 2026, the stock stood 15.79 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 36.45 and 4.78 percent above its 52-week low of EUR 29.30. Trading volume was 8,730 shares at the quoted time, compared with a market capitalization of EUR 2.1 billion.

For investors, the central calculation is the balance between 11.5 percent logistics revenue growth and a 22.0 percent H1 EBIT decline. The next valuation signal will be whether parcel expansion and pricing actions can translate into stronger second-half earnings.
