Oesterreichische Post (ISIN AT0000APOST4) was trading at EUR 30.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 2:32 p.m. CEST, plus 0.39 percent versus the prior close. The company unveiled a coffee-ground stamp issue on September 30, 2026, with an edition of 80,000 stamps, according to finanzen.at. The euro quote stood 15.23 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 36.45.

Three dated milestones shape 2026

On August 7, 2026, Austrian Post reported first-half revenue of EUR 1,544.0 million, up 3.80 percent year over year, while EBIT reached EUR 73.3 million, down 22.00 percent, according to PostEurop. On September 11, 2026, the company agreed to pay EUR 47.8 million to the Republic of Austria over historical social-contribution obligations, a payment covered by a provision formed since 2018, according to EQS News. On September 30, 2026, the coffee-ground stamp was announced with a face value of EUR 6.70 and an 80,000-unit print run, as finanzen.at reported.

What does parcel growth mean for earnings?

The first-half figures show a clear split in the business. E-Commerce and Logistics revenue increased 11.50 percent to EUR 910.9 million, while Mail, Branch and Services revenue fell 7.40 percent to EUR 566.1 million, according to PostEurop. Austrian parcel volumes rose 9.00 percent, but EBITDA declined 5.90 percent to EUR 187.7 million and EBIT declined 22.00 percent to EUR 73.3 million in the first half of 2026.

That combination matters for valuation: growth is concentrated in parcels and fulfillment, while declining letter volumes and international competition weigh on profitability. The same report said Austrian Post expects slight full-year 2026 revenue growth and 2026 capital expenditure of EUR 140 million to EUR 160 million, with customs duties and fees creating a counter-factor for cross-border e-commerce.

Two dates set the next checkpoints

The next operating checkpoint is November 1, 2026, when an additional EUR 2.00 levy per item category or parcel was planned in the European Union, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. The next earnings date is listed as November 12, 2026, by InvestPane.
