InPost Shares Surge 13.46% at Opening Following Acquisition Announcement by Advent and FedEx
The stock of the Polish automated parcel locker company shows a significant increase this Monday morning, quickly surpassing the technical resistance of €14.89 established before the transaction announcement.
Strong Morning Gains for InPost
InPost leads the morning gains with an increase of 13.46%, rising from €13.30 on Friday to €15.09 at the opening. This upward trend has been evident over the past seven days, accumulating nearly 14.32% during this period. Over three months, the stock has increased by 50.15%, thus recovering some of the losses experienced in the previous year, which saw a decline of 6.27%. However, trading remains moderate with only 0.61% of the capital traded this morning, reflecting limited participation in the opening auctions.
Catalyst for the Rise: Acquisition Announcement
This upward trajectory was triggered by the official announcement this weekend: the Advent fund and the American giant FedEx have decided to acquire InPost, purchasing the company for €15.60 per share, which values the total at €7.8 billion. The offered price represents a premium of 17.3% over the last close before the announcement. This delisting operation ends several months of uncertainty since the first indication received in early January, which had already propelled the stock by about 50% in a few sessions. The completion is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
Technical Analysis of the Stock
Technically, the stock decisively breaks through its resistance at €14.89, where it had stabilized in the previous days. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), positioned at 43, remains neutral and does not indicate an overbought market despite today's progress, suggesting there is room before potential exhaustion. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages converge at €11.72 and €11.55 respectively, indicating increased volatility and a substantial gap with the current price. The Chaikin Money Flow, slightly negative at -0.09, contrasts with the price progress, pointing towards an accumulation driven more by the volume of supply than by lasting buying conviction.
