In brief
- Eurocash shares rose more than 10% after preliminary third-quarter results beat forecasts.

Results ahead of forecasts
Eurocash published preliminary figures for the third quarter, and they came in better than analysts had expected (Eurocash zaskoczył wynikami. Kurs mocno w górę – Puls Biznesu). The company, which runs wholesale and retail distribution of fast-moving consumer goods, drew buyers into its stock as the day went on (Lider rynku pokazuje wyniki. Inwestorzy wywindowali kurs spółki – WNP.pl).
Market reaction
The stock climbed more than 10% on the day of publication. The move was notable because Warsaw's main indices were trading below the previous close, with selling pressure easing as the session progressed (Układ trójkowy na GPW.

Wider backdrop
The local market was also shaped by developments abroad. Reports of possible US talks with Iran and falling oil prices weighed on sentiment, while news of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi added to the mix.
