Theme study GBC Italian Champions: New investment opportunities in Bella Italia ?!
 
Dear investors,
 
The trend is clear: for some years now, fewer and fewer companies in Germany have dared to go public. The number of IPOs has been particularly low in recent years. Since the beginning of 2022, there have only been five new issues on the regulated market. At the same time, many companies have decided to leave the German capital market. The number of companies listed in Germany in the four segments of Deutsche Börse currently stands at 514. This structural development is compounded by the cur-rent difficult capital market environment, which does not suggest a trend reversal.  
In contrast, the Italian capital market presents a positive picture. In the past calendar year, 49 new issues took place in Italy, breaking the record set in 2000. Last year is not an outlier, because in previous years there were also about 40 new issues a year, interrupted only by a pandemic-related restraint in IPOs. In the meantime, 419 issuers are listed on the Italian stock exchange and the Italian capital market has thus caught up considerably with the German capital market. In addition to the increasing willing-ness of Italian companies to focus their financing mix more on equity, the Italian capi-tal market also offers structural advantages. One example is the multiple voting rights, which enable better control of the founders and good takeover protection. For medium-sized companies in particular, this is a good argument for capital market orientation. In addition, investors benefit from attractive tax advantages, which can lead to tax exemp-tion of profits and current income if certain conditions are met. Issuers can also benefit from tax advantages when going public.
 
From the perspective of German investors, the Italian capital market currently offers attractive valuation levels. With a P/E ratio of 8, the Italian market was already clearly undervalued last year and thus quoted at a level that was otherwise only reached in times of crisis (2008 - P/E ratio = 6 and 2011 - P/E ratio = 6.5). This picture continues today, so it is not surprising that more than half of the 200 companies listed on Euron-ext Growth Milan have announced share buybacks.
