Football and finance have never been so close. And in contrast. Among the few stocks that are saving themselves on the very black Monday of the stock markets, with Piazza Affari losing more than 7% in the afternoon due to the Chinese fear and panic selling, the brightest is that of the savings shares of Zucchi spa . The savings shares of the company in which Gigi Buffon, goalkeeper for Juventus and the national team, is the majority shareholder, gain more than 3%, in absolute contrast with the performance of the Milan stock exchange, even if the ordinary shares of Zucchi leave in the field over 5%.
The clothing company is undergoing a delicate financial restructuring, and announced a few weeks ago that it had filed an application for an extension of the blank composition with creditors. The reasons "are mainly attributable - reported the company note - to the complexity of the restructuring activities in progress which are proceeding positively towards the objectives of the plan currently being sworn". In recent days, the Court of Varese has granted another 60 days to advance a new debt restructuring proposal and has also received proposals for the purchase of the subsidiary Mascioni which has 330 employees.
Another stock going against the trend, albeit with a lower gain, is that of Lazio, which gains 2,31%. In this case the positive trend is dictated by the excellent start to the championship of Pioli's team, which collects three points while rivals Roma and Juventus start off on the wrong foot (both losing around 9%), and which above all smells a possible qualification in the group stage of the Champions League, after a 1-0 draw at home against Bayer Leverkusen. The return is scheduled for the day after tomorrow and for the Biancocelesti the passage of the round would mean the arrival of new financial resources.
