Stock market, iVision Tech glasses fly: Macron 'testimonial' in Davos
In his speech, which went viral on social media, the French president wore Henry Jullien glasses, a French subsidiary of iVision Tech
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - The stock of iVision Tech is in strong evidence at Piazza Affari, off the main list, where the stock marks a theoretical leap of 27.9% to 2.04 euro per share. The stock, however, remains in "reserved" status for excessive upward movement. Last night, Borsa Italiana had announced that as of 22 January 2026 and 'until further notice', no limit orders are allowed on the ordinary shares of the stock, which had closed up 5.6% on the eve of the trading, at around EUR 1.59 per share.
The company - active in the design and production of eyeglass frames and sunglasses - owes the leap to expansion into the smart glasses segment, and beyond. The wave of purchases was triggered by the media effect linked to French President Emmanuel Macron, who was an exceptional 'testimonial' after wearing a pair of glasses from the Doublé Or Laminé collection by Henry Jullien, produced in France but whose brand is controlled by the iVision Tech group since 2023, during his speech at the Davos International Forum yesterday. A choice, that of Macron, that goes back two years, when he personally identified these glasses, verifying that each stage of production was indeed made in France.
"It is a classic model, made entirely by hand," said Stefano Fulchir, President and CEO of subsidiary Henry Jullien. The French president's attention "to the provenance of the product confirms how authenticity is still a core value," he added. Ivision tech was listed on the Italian Stock Exchange in August 2023, and its all-time high remains that of 13 February 2025, when the shares touched EUR 2.68.
