The Athens Stock Exchange is performing at its highest levels in the past 15 years, with numerous listed companies reaching historic or multi-year peaks.
Despite last week’s decline, the new trading week has started positively, with the General Index rising by +1.79% on Monday, reaching 1,834 points—just shy of the previous high of 1,835 points.
Robust fundamentals, solid dividend payouts, improvements in the Greek economy, anticipated upgrades from MSCI, ongoing business transactions, and a stable macroeconomic environment create a compelling narrative.
Nonetheless, there is still the risk of potential US trade tariff responses, which could heighten international volatility and pose a threat to the positive trends in the Greek market.
Despite these concerns, the General Index has surged over +24% in 2025, on track for its fifth consecutive year of growth (2021 – 2025). The banking sector has notably rallied by approximately +40%, which might lead to some consolidation movements.
Market attention is now turning to corporate earnings, with Cenergy and Fourlis set to release their first-quarter financial results later today, followed by OPAP, Lamda Development, and Aegean tomorrow.
Additionally, as of today, Alpha Trust Holdings shares are trading ex-dividend at €0.584, which reflects a dividend yield exceeding 6.8%.
