Stock Exchange: The 'mid-caps' that have... an allergy to rising
The mid-cap index of the Athens Stock Exchange continues to underperform, with its average change at -0.8% as it faces negative market conditions for 2026.
The mid-cap index (FTSE Mid Cap) of the Athens Stock Exchange is struggling to regain momentum, showing an average decline of -0.8%. This underperformance is notable compared to other indices, including blue chips and the General Index. Factors such as the volatility in the market have contributed to this stagnation, as the index for 2026 is projected to remain in negative territory. Despite a few companies like Austriacard, Dimand, Autohellas, AVAX, and Kri-Kri posting double-digit gains, they have not been sufficient to pull the mid-caps into positive performance or lift overall market sentiment.
