FedEx, Advent-led consortium secures over 89% of InPost shares in takeover offer
FedEx and an Advent-led consortium have secured more than 89% of InPost shares in their takeover offer. The threshold gives the buyers control of the transaction while leaving the remaining shares and completion mechanics as the next setup.
FedEx and the consortium led by Advent have obtained more than 89% of InPost shares through the takeover offer, according to the announcement published on September 18, 2026. The result puts the bid beyond a controlling threshold and materially reduces the portion of the target still outside the offer.
The transaction links FedEx’s logistics network with InPost, whose business is centered on parcel delivery infrastructure. The latest ownership level is a change from the offer stage to a control-stage outcome, although the remaining shares and the formal steps needed to complete the deal still matter.
For FedEx, the concrete connection is strategic rather than a reported change to current revenue or earnings: the company would gain exposure to InPost through the consortium’s takeover. FedEx’s fiscal 2026 revenue was $94.7B, up 7.7% year over year, with diluted EPS of $18.55; those figures are separate from the takeover result.
The main uncertainty is the treatment of the shares that were not tendered and the conditions or timetable for closing. The reported ownership result establishes the level of support for the offer, but does not by itself settle the final completion process.
Next milestones are the formal closing steps and any announcements concerning the remaining InPost shares. The key open points are the final ownership level, the transaction timetable and how the acquisition will connect to FedEx’s operating results.
The takeover result is strategically positive for FDX, with over 89% of InPost shares secured and control of the deal now in reach.
The result improves FedEx’s strategic position by moving the InPost bid into a control-stage outcome, but the value for FDX still depends on closing mechanics and how the asset is integrated. FedEx’s $94.7B fiscal 2026 revenue and $18.55 diluted EPS provide operating scale, yet do not quantify the takeover’s earnings impact.
The read fails if the remaining-share process delays or prevents completion, or if the transaction does not produce an identifiable operating benefit for FedEx.

Securing over 89% of InPost shares gives FedEx and Advent strong control of the takeover and a clearer path to adding InPost’s parcel-delivery infrastructure.
The opposing case is limited but concrete: more than 89% is not the entire share base, so unresolved minority ownership and closing steps can still delay the strategic payoff.
