Investors’ deep pockets fueling Warsaw Stock Exchange
Strong investor demand is driving transaction activity on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, despite the limited number of IPOs. In the second quarter of 2026, eight accelerated bookbuildings, 10 secondary offerings, and six IPOs were completed, with a combined value of PLN 15.8 bln — up sharply from PLN 1.8 bln in the first quarter. Large shareholder exits, particularly in Allegro, dominated activity, while listed companies such as Creotech also raised substantial capital. Foreign investors are increasingly participating in mid-sized Polish transactions. Experts expect further deals in the second half of the year.
Family offices are also emerging as an important source of capital, especially for smaller companies that attract less interest from large institutional funds.
