Jornal de Negócios7 September 2026 at 09:48

CTT shares fell almost 3% on the stock exchange after the announcement that negotiations for the sale of Banco CTT to the Spanish group Cajamar ended without an agreement. This decision represents a significant moment for the Portuguese postal company.

The company led by Guy Pacheco announced that, without a sale agreement, it will continue to analyze strategic options for Banco CTT. This position comes after a period of negotiations that did not result in an understanding between the parties.

The CTT now intend to invest in the growth of Banco CTT's customer base and in the development of its digital capabilities. This strategy represents a shift in focus compared to the sale process that has now been abandoned.
