PKP Cargo (ISIN PLPKPCR00011) sold 106 unused locomotives for PLN 26.4 million net on October 19, 2026. The transaction is part of the restructuring effort and will add PLN 24.6 million to third-quarter consolidated results, according to Puls Biznesu on October 19, 2026.
Asset sales support restructuring
The sale covered 106 of 337 locomotives removed from service. PKP Cargo said the proceeds would support priority restructuring measures, while a further sales process for the remaining locomotives had already started on September 24, 2026. The same report assigns PLN 1.8 million of proceeds to fourth-quarter results.
The transaction follows a court decision on October 16, 2026 approving the arrangement for PKP CARGOTABOR, although the decision was not yet final and could still face an appeal, PKP CARGO said on October 16, 2026.
What do the earnings mean?
The first-half figures show a sharper improvement in profitability than revenue growth. Net income attributable to the parent reached PLN 117.8 million in the first half of 2026, compared with a PLN 17.9 million loss a year earlier, while revenue rose 1.00 percent to PLN 1.84 billion, Puls Biznesu reported on September 30, 2026. EBITDA increased 14.00 percent to PLN 159.8 million, but the report also noted that asset impairment reversals contributed to the result.
Three dated restructuring steps
On September 30, 2026, PKP Cargo reported PLN 117.8 million in first-half net income. On October 16, 2026, the court approved the Cargotabor arrangement, subject to final legal effect. On October 19, 2026, the company sold 106 locomotives for PLN 26.4 million net. Together, the figures show a restructuring program combining operating recovery with asset monetization.
Next dates and market value
The locomotive sale proceeds are allocated to PLN 24.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 and PLN 1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2026. On the Warsaw Stock Exchange, PKP Cargo was last at PLN 10.16 on October 23, 2026 at 4:59 p.m. CEST. Its market capitalization was PLN 455.0 million, while the 52-week range was PLN 9.86 to PLN 16.59 as of that date.
Restructuring remains the central test
For investors, the key issue is whether asset sales and the court process can reinforce the improvement shown in the first-half figures. The company operates rail freight and logistics services across Poland and international markets, making cash generation and fleet utilization central to the restructuring case.
