Following the indiscretions in the press, disseminated by Il Sole 24 Ore, which have relaunched the hypothesis of spin-off of its duty-free activities, the Autogrill share stands out as one of the liveliest and most positive in the Piazza Affari price list. Furthermore, they compete to act as a driving force for the title rumors of a future listing of the company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
In the face of a rather sluggish FTSE Mib index and a substantially stalled retail sector, Autogrill's stock gained, in the late morning, 2,25% at €7,03 per share.
In any case, to have the go-ahead for the duty-free spin-off, it will be necessary to wait for the renewal of the concessions in the Spanish subsidiary Aldeasa, expected by the end of the year. Autogrill's management has not wanted, for the moment, to release any statement on the matter.
