Żabka shares slide
Shares in Żabka came under pressure after Japan's Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, abandoned plans to acquire a significant stake in Poland's largest convenience store operator. The companies were unable to agree on terms that Seven & i said would be in the best interests of its shareholders, bringing negotiations to an end after weeks of speculation. Investors had viewed the potential transaction as a major endorsement of Żabka's long-term growth strategy and a possible gateway for the Japanese retailer's expansion into Europe.
Although the failed talks weighed on Żabka's share price, analysts noted that the decision reflects pricing disagreements rather than concerns about the company's underlying business. Seven & i reiterated that Europe remains an attractive market and said it will continue evaluating future investment opportunities, while Żabka is expected to remain focused on expanding its convenience retail network and strengthening its position across the region.
