- Vzajemna shares began trading on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange six months ago, initially seeing active trading and unusual price swings.
- About 14,000 trades involving 2.1 million shares were completed in six months, with turnover exceeding โฌ4 million.
- Trading activity has gradually declined, while many shareholders have yet to collect their shares and the companyโs market value stands at about โฌ100 million.
Six months after Vzajemna shares were listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, the insurer remains a small listed company with unusually active trading for its size.
The first days and week brought heavy activity and sharp fluctuations in the share price. The price then gradually declined, although comparisons with two larger insurers still point to a high valuation. Trading volume has also remained comparable with that of larger listed companies.
Around 14,000 transactions involving 2.1 million Vzajemna shares took place during the half-year period. Their combined value exceeded โฌ4 million. However, one-sixth of that turnover by value occurred during the first three trading days, and the number of transactions has been falling since then. Vzajemna now has a stock-market value of about โฌ100 million. Many shareholders have yet to take possession of their shares.
The insurer is also expanding beyond its established business. It plans to enter the Croatian health-insurance market and, through a contractual arrangement, the Slovenian car-insurance market.
