Cyborg Score Rationale
Market capitalization of PLN 2.5 trillion makes it the largest stock exchange in Central and Eastern Europe, with record revenues reported in 2025. The company benefits from Poland's upgrade to FTSE Developed Market status and Poland's EU membership, providing structural growth tailwinds. Stable dividend yield of ~4.7% and strategic monopoly position strengthen the investment case.
