Orlen shares saw a significant rise following the Polish government’s announcement of an “active dividend policy” for state-controlled companies. This policy, aimed at increasing dividend inflows for the state, contributed to the WIG20 index surpassing the 4,000-point threshold.

Market attention has since shifted toward rumors of a potential minority stake acquisition in Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), a transaction estimated to cost between 20 and 22 billion PLN. While investors have reacted calmly to these reports, analysts are monitoring whether Orlen can maintain a breakout above the 157 PLN resistance level. Investor sentiment remains influenced by the company’s recent profits and rising oil prices.
