I have mixed feelings about this. Raksul’s CEO has done a very good job balancing growth vs profitability in the last few years since taking over from Yasukane Matsumoto . That being said, Raksul has morphed from being a clean story (fabless paper printing marketplace with a few call

Bumping because this deserves more recognition for the small base of folks on X who are following the InPost/Allegro developments. Allegro's partnerships were an intelligent move towards capital light advancement of an alternative network, but how long will DPD, DHL, Orlen, etc.

This strategy of exclusivity failed miserably for $SPOT and its bad for *literally* all participants. - Listeners are unhappy because now they have to go to Netflix to listen to a podcast. - The podcasters themselves significantly diminish their own podcast marketability and

I certainly hope that InPost isn’t taken private. There aren’t many equivalently high quality assets currently available in the world today.

This would truly be a steal if Advent is successful. Buying InPost today at €6.5 billion (27 billion PLN) values $INPST at 5.5x '26 consolidated EBITDA or rather, 13x '26 FCF of the Polish business standalone with the UK, France, and other businesses producing nearly half of the

If Raksul's ¥1,710 MBO price feels low; perhaps it can be explained by management sandbagging their FCF conversion rates in order to get a more lucrative take-private deal for themselves. Per the numbers given to KPMG, management estimates FCF to fall off a cliff going forward,

In Europe, generally, if a courier leaves a parcel on the doorstep and it is stolen or damaged, the seller is responsible for the loss because the courier did not fulfill the duty of delivering to a person. Which leads to this sort of courier behavior.

Very disappointing $INPST news today. A €7.8b purchase price values InPost at 6.5x NTM consolidated EBITDA, ~7-10x FCF, and 4x stand-still FCF. This is an absolute steal of a price for a world-class business and I encourage shareholders to vote no at the EGM.

What needs to happen for $INPST to close the deal is for 80% of shares to be tendered into the deal. 48% have already been tendered. Meaning the deal will pass or fail on the decisions of these shareholders. I have to think that institutions will accept the 50% “premium” despite
