BEST reported a 250.00 percent year-over-year increase in net profit for the first half of 2026, a result that defines the current context for Krec stock (ISIN PLKRINK00014). According to Investing.com on September 8, 2026, BEST generated PLN 83.8 million in net profit attributable to shareholders, compared with PLN 23.3 million in the first half of 2025.

BEST expands after the merger

The former Kredyt Inkaso business is now part of BEST. The Kredyt Inkaso investor-relations page states that the legal merger with BEST took place on April 1, 2025, with BEST assuming the rights and obligations of the acquired company.

That structure matters for anyone tracking the old Kredyt Inkaso security because the latest operating figures are reported by the successor group rather than by a standalone Kredyt Inkaso entity. Strefa Biznesu reported on September 8, 2026 that BEST operates in Poland and Italy and added Romania and Bulgaria through the Kredyt Inkaso transaction.

Revenue growth outpaces the old base

BEST reported PLN 348.8 million in operating revenue for the first half of 2026, up 42.40 percent from PLN 245.0 million in the same period of 2025. The comparison gives the profit increase a broader operating base instead of presenting it as a single accounting swing.

The group also reported PLN 89.4 million in profit before tax, compared with PLN 24.2 million a year earlier, while repayments from purchased receivables reached PLN 470.8 million versus PLN 350.8 million. These figures show how the combined platform is scaling collections and portfolio activity after the transaction.

What the merger means for Krec stock

For Krec stock, the central investor issue is the shift from a standalone debt-collection company to an operating history embedded in BEST. The second quarter of 2026 was the first fully comparable quarter after the merger, and BEST reported PLN 188.17 million in operating revenue for that period against PLN 155.38 million a year earlier, according to Investing.com on September 8, 2026.

The same report said second-quarter net profit attributable to BEST shareholders reached PLN 46.04 million, compared with PLN 18.89 million in the prior-year quarter. The reported operating figures therefore provide the clearest current reference point for the former Kredyt Inkaso business.
