Competition approval cleared Merko Ehitus Eesti's acquisition of limestone producer Väo Paas after the Estonian Competition Authority approved the purchase of control on October 15, 2026. Ehitusleht reported the decision on October 17, 2026, adding that Merko Ehitus Eesti had agreed to buy 100.00 percent of Väo Paas from Matthäi Stahlbau Holding.

Three dates define the deal

The transaction's chronology starts on September 22, 2026, when the Competition Authority received the merger notification for the 100.00 percent purchase, according to M&A Radar. On October 15, 2026, the authority approved the acquisition of control. On October 17, 2026, Ehitusleht published the approval, making the clearance the latest dated event in the sequence.

What does full ownership add?

Merko's operating base already combines construction, infrastructure and property development across the Baltic states. The group reported EUR 311.0 million of revenue in fiscal year 2025 and employed 613 people at year-end, according to the company's September 24, 2026 release carried by Nasdaq Baltic. The same release described a 23-apartment project in Tallinn, showing how the acquisition broadens the group's materials exposure beyond its construction and residential pipeline.

The latest reported interim comparison was published on August 6, 2026. Investing.com listed second-quarter revenue of EUR 92.67 million and earnings per share of EUR 0.48, while the source gave no comparable forecast. That makes the approved materials deal a strategic development rather than a quantified earnings upgrade.

Next reporting date

The next substantiated date is November 5, 2026, when Merko Ehitus is scheduled to publish third-quarter results, according to TradingView. The report should give investors the first regular opportunity to assess the group's operating trend after the Väo Paas approval.

Frankfurt quote remains dated

The latest eligible German-venue quote stood at EUR 26.80 in Frankfurt on October 19, 2026 at 8:06 a.m. CEST. The same quote page showed a 52-week range of EUR 26.20 to EUR 32.75 and market capitalization of EUR 474.4 million, giving the acquisition news a market value context without a current-session change.
