Żabka raises growth targets
Żabka, listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since October 2024, has unveiled a more ambitious expansion strategy while maintaining dividend payments. CEO Tomasz Suchański said the new capital policy balances investment with shareholder returns, including a dividend payout of 50% of net profit for 2025, rising to 50–70% in subsequent years. A share buyback also remains possible.
The company now plans to open over 1,300 stores annually between 2025–2028, lifting its target to 16,000 outlets by 2028—about 1,500 more than initially projected. At the end of June 2025, Żabka operated 11,793 stores in Poland and Romania, up nearly 11% year-on-year. Management sees potential for up to 27,000 stores across both markets, with organic growth prioritized but M&A not excluded.
Żabka’s IPO in 2024 valued the firm at PLN 21.5 billion. Its shares now trade around PLN 23.50, above the PLN 21.50 offer price.
