Posti’s Stock Soars – A Message to Decision Makers

Posti Group's stock experienced a significant rise in Helsinki's stock market, driven by the company's recently announced financial outlook for 2025.

Posti Group's stock has seen a remarkable surge in trading on the Helsinki stock exchange, with an 8.65% increase reported around 11 AM, bringing the share price to 8.964 euros. This rise follows the company's financial announcements made on Friday morning, which included projections for the upcoming fiscal year, enhancing investor confidence. The trading saw highs of 8.983 euros, reflecting a strong market performance since its last noted trading price of 7.50 euros.

Despite the positive stock performance, Posti's revenue for the last quarter of 2025 showed a 3% decrease compared to the previous year, falling to 390 million euros. The company attributed this decline mainly to a substantial drop in traditional mail services, with a 19.8% decrease in addressed letter volumes. Conversely, the package delivery segment saw an 11.1% increase, indicating a shift in consumer behavior and market demand from traditional mail services to e-commerce-related deliveries.

The adjusted operating profit for Posti also rose significantly from 21.7 million euros to 30.0 million euros, suggesting improvements in cost management and profitability notwithstanding the revenue decline in core services. This growth in operating profit may signal to decision-makers the need for strategic adjustments to align with changing market trends, especially in postal services' digital transformation and the increasing reliance on package deliveries.
