A takeover approach has propelled shares of Polish parcel-locker operator InPost SA to their strongest weekly gain on record, turning one of Europe’s biggest underperformers of 2025 into its leading stock.

Topping the Stoxx Europe 600 Index with a 38% jump, InPost said it received “an indicative proposal” for a possible takeover. Buyout firm Advent International LP — which owns 6.5% of the firm — is in talks to team up with InPost founder Rafal Brzoska and Czech investment company PPF Group NV on a potential buyout of the logistics company, Bloomberg News reported.
