The haute couture maison Valentino would be considering the hypothesis of a return to the stock exchange. The title of one of the most important and famous haute couture houses could peep out at Piazza Affari even as early as June 2016 according to what Corriere della Sera writes today.
The Milanese newspaper specified that Valentino does not need the money given that his main shareholder is the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar, Mayhoola for Investments. But the idea of returning to parades on the Stock Exchange is linked in particular to the possibility of using the markets as an additional showcase for even more visibility. The quota available for placement could be very substantial: up to 50% of the shares. The transaction, which is global in nature, should be aimed above all at institutional and international investors. The stock market should be that of Milan to further anchor the brand to the Italian territory.
