Consob: The Milan Stock Exchange has lost 100 companies in 20 years

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Between 2005 and 2025, there were 100 delistings on the main market of the Italian Stock Exchange. This was revealed during the presentation of Consob’s Annual Report. Over the past 10 years (since 2015), Italia has lost 20 per cent of the companies listed on Euronext Milan, in line with the United Kingdom, whilst France fared worse (-46 per cent). Furthermore, there have been no IPOs on the main market for around a year and a half; in 2025, no new companies were listed (there was only the transfer of Kruso Kapital from the EGM), whilst 11 delistings took place, resulting in a net loss of market capitalisation of 2 billion. ‘In 2025, delistings had a significant impact on the markets managed by Borsa Italiana,’ states the Commission’s report, which lists 199 companies on the main market, whilst the secondary market had 212 companies at the end of 2025. On the EGM, with 19 delistings and 21 new listings, 290 million in market capitalisation was lost last year. (dim)
