  "account": "Newag stock experienced a significant surge of nearly 9.7%, reaching 108.6 PLN, as investors reacted to the company's impressive H1 2026 financial results announced after market close on September 18. The H1 2026 report showcased a remarkable improvement in net profit, with consolidated profits nearly doubling year-over-year to 147.57 mln zł, compared to 76.82 mln zł in the same period last year. Revenue also increased to 733.15 mln zł from 474.61 mln zł in Q2 2025. Looking ahead, the full first half of 2026 reported a consolidated net profit of 205.48 mln zł, an increase from 129.11 mln zł in H1 2025, coupled with revenues of 1,155.42 mln zł.\n\nIn addition to the strong earnings performance, Newag's order book has been growing rapidly, bolstering confidence in its ongoing momentum. Notably, PKP Intercity exercised an option for 32 additional locomotives worth approximately 945.6 mln zł netto in early September. Furthermore, a new contract with Podlaskie Voivodeship for hybrid traction units, valued at 95.8 mln zł with the potential to rise to 287.4 mln zł, highlights Newag's leading position in Poland's railway rolling stock market.\n\nThe favorable market conditions on the Warsaw Stock Exchange also played a role in the stock's rise. The WIG20 index surpassed the milestone of 4,000 points for the first time in history this morning, while the broader WIG and mWIG40 indices also achieved all-time highs during early trading. This confluence of factors, including the near-doubling of quarterly profits, the expansion of Newag's order portfolio, and the record-breaking session on the Warsaw exchange, collectively propelled the stock well beyond its previous close of 99 PLN. The stock's return to its 52-week high of 130.6 PLN underscores the compelling narrative driven by the company's financial performance and strategic opportunities.",
