XTB Stock Plunges as Trading Restrictions Hit Amid 'Death Cross' Warning
XTB, a leading Polish financial services provider, faced a setback on Monday as clients encountered restricted access to Warsaw Stock Exchange trading due to a third-party software provider malfunction. Meanwhile, the company's stock has been on a downward trajectory, with the 50-day and 200-day moving averages converging towards a potential 'death cross' formation, a bearish technical signal on the stock market.
The trading restriction came at a time when XTB's stock has been experiencing a significant decline. On Monday, the stock closed at 68.96 PLN after a 2.6% drop, its steepest single-day decline since mid-September, breaking through a key support level. This decline has erased all gains made in 2025 and has left the stock down approximately 1% year-to-date. The recent drop follows a series of regulatory and market-related challenges that XTB has faced on the stock market.
In an effort to boost its image and attract more clients, XTB launched a massive marketing campaign featuring football legend Zlatan Ibrahimović. Additionally, the company plans to expand its services by launching options trading later this year, pending regulatory approval from the KNF. Despite these initiatives, XTB's stock continued to decline, reaching an intraday low of 68.34 PLN, its lowest level since April. Institutional investors, such as BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, have also shown fresh bearish interest in the stock, establishing a 0.51% net short position in XTB shares as of October 1 on the stock market.
XTB's recent challenges, including trading restrictions and a significant stock decline, highlight the need for the company to address these issues promptly. While the company has implemented marketing campaigns and plans to expand its services, the current market conditions and regulatory environment may continue to impact its stock performance on the stock market. As XTB navigates these challenges, investors and analysts will be watching closely for signs of recovery or further decline.
