GPW opened its first post‑holiday session with gains that were quickly corrected.
On GPW, bulls first succeed but ultimately lose
Today the best performer was ECB, which gained 27% in value. Investors in Big Cheese Studio had another disastrous day. The company ended Thursday’s session with a loss of 37%. Today it lost another 16%. This remains the result of an underwhelming launch of the company’s new game, “Cooking simulator 2”. The game is poorly rated by players, but the company announced today that it will make corrections to it. That announcement, however, did not rescue the share price significantly.
WIG index closed the session at 125 066,05 pts, translating to a 0,43% drop.

From an analyst’s view
Stanisław Byszewski, broker at DM BOŚ, noted in the morning that “the first cash‑market trades translate into a drop of WIG20 by about 0,35 percent.”
“The market structure is mixed, with a slight advantage for falling stocks. On the upside, PKN Orlen (0,70%) and Dino (+0,86%) stand out, while the weakest remain LPP (-1,71%) and PGE (-1,30%), reflecting a lack of clear market direction. Compared to previous sessions, a slowdown in rebound and a shift to a waiting phase is visible,” he added.
He placed the WIG movements in a broader context: what is happening on foreign exchanges.
“On DAX, CAC40 and FTSE100 a lack of decisive movement is also visible, which reflects investors’ cautious stance toward the current market situation. Technically, WIG20 sits above the 3400‑point zone, which previously served as resistance and now may act as support. The main factor for the market remains developments in the Middle East, especially the direction the conflict will take after the deadline set by Donald Trump for Iran regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz,” he said.
“After the first hour of trading, WIG20 ends on a small plus (0,14%), indicating improvement over a weaker opening. Growth is joined by PKO BP (+0,21%), and the main support for the index remains PKN Orlen (+1,21%) and Dino (+0,27%), which set the tone for trading at the highest volumes. At the same time, gains are limited by declines in PZU (-0,64%) and KGHM (-0,25%),” he continued.
He then noted that “after an uncertain opening, WIG20 accelerated and in the afternoon recorded a rise of 0,73%.”
“On GPW, attention is drawn to PKN Orlen (+0,79%) and Dino (+1,79%), which with volumes of 109 m PLN and 103 m PLN respectively continue morning gains. The index also supports the banking sector with Pekao (+1,69%) and PKO BP (+1,54%). The weaker remain, among others, Modivo (-2,18%) and LPP (-1,36%), but this does not change the positive market picture,” he listed the companies that performed well and poorly.
According to the DM BOŚ analyst, the focus of investors remains the Middle East – the USA allows for a delay in actions against Iran, although time for an agreement remains limited.
“At the same time, 21 ships (10 on Saturday and 11 on Sunday) passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, indicating increased traffic but still clearly below pre‑conflict levels. The risk of further escalation remains high,” he added.
