Outlook: Altri and CTT Dividends Land Thursday, Vista Alegre Delisting AGM Hits Thursday, Martifer OPA Closes Wednesday 3 June

Outlook: Thursday 28 May 2026 opens Euronext Lisbon with the Altri €0.25 and CTT €0.17 dividend payments hitting on the same day — the €51.4 million aggregate Altri distribution and the ~€26 million CTT distribution feeding the Portuguese mid-cap shareholder-cash-flow tape through the end of May — and the Vista Alegre Atlantis delisting AGM landing the same Thursday at €1.07 per share with Visabeira's 84.76% block pressing the Article 196 squeeze-out threshold against the 5.24% free float. The Visabeira Indústria mandatory tender offer for Martifer at €2.057 per share walks to the Wednesday 3 June acceptance deadline with the Optimize Portugal Golden Opportunities fund Tuesday's €2.25 sabotage-block purchases continuing to read against the Article 194 90% squeeze-out trigger, while the CP Porto–Lisboa €504 million high-speed-train bid-submission window walks to 2 July with Q1 2027 signature and 2032 service-launch timeline anchoring the public-investment beta on Mota-Engil and Teixeira Duarte. The TAP binding-offer phase walks into the Q3 2026 sale-completion window with the Lufthansa and Air France-KLM pair the remaining two-name shortlist after the IAG drop, and the Banco de Portugal DSTI 45% macroprudential cut continues to anchor the listed-banking beta around the BCP +1.61% Wednesday print, the Ageas-Fosun shareholder-reshuffle reading, and the Santos Pereira push to legally bind the DSTI recommendation as the Relatório de Estabilidade Financeira walks the household-debt-and-effort-rate envelope into the next macroprudential review cycle.
