The Prague Stock Exchange's main index (PX) slipped about 0.5% this week, closing around 2,548 points. Photon Energy led gains with a 28% rise after announcing a CZK 28 dividend per share, while Doosan Škoda Power climbed 9.5% on strong performance. Kofola, Erste Group and several other stocks posted modest increases.

ČEZ saw the biggest drop, falling roughly 3.8% ahead of its June 1 shareholders' meeting where a dividend of CZK 42 per share is expected and a restructuring to spin off non‑core activities.
