The opening of the session on Euronext Athens was declared a short while ago by the management of Attica Department Stores, by ringing the traditional “bell,” on the occasion of the stock’s independent entry into the exchange.
The stock is traded on the board under the code ADPS and is off to a good start, as in the first orders buyers are reaching up to 1.16% higher at 3.237 euros.
According to what Lambros Papakonstantinou, head of Ideal Holdings, noted, this is the first company listing through a share offering (that is, a minority part of its share capital), a fact that may serve as a prelude to similar moves by other companies as well.
