Context and risks
Rising interest rates in Europe (ECB) make refinancing InPost's debt more expensive, given its high leverage (Debt/Equity 324%). Additionally, exposure to shipping routes and cross-border e-commerce could be affected by geopolitical tensions, though this is not the dominant factor.

Verdict: Hold. Growth and the FedEx alliance are attractive, but weak margins and high leverage warrant caution until profitability improves.
