Stock exchange heavyweight - national and international
The higher share price and the capital increase combined to trigger a strong rise in the market capitalisation of the IMMOFINANZ share, which rose by 63.9% from EUR 1,777.2 million to EUR 2,913.4 million. The next capital increase in May 2006 raised market capitalisation to EUR 4,023 million. Based on free float, IMMOFINANZ is now number five of all companies trading in Vienna. The higher ranks are held exclusively by “heavyweights” such as Erste Bank, OMV and Telekom Austria.

As one of the leading listed companies in Austria and one of the leading listed property companies in Europe, IMMOFINANZ is also represented in numerous major indexes. In Austria it is included, among others, in the blue chip ATX index and the I-ATX index of property stocks. On an international level, it is particularly significant that the share has been part of the major European and global stock indexes, the Dow Jones Eurostoxx and the MSCI World, since 2003. IMMOFINANZ is also represented in all major European property stock indexes, in particular the GPR 15 and the EPRA indexes. The EPRA, the European Public Real Estate Association, also issues recommendations for property companies on the use of IFRS accounting standards, which have since become the preferred norm. As a representative of the Austrian property corporations, Karl Petrikovics serves as a member of the EPRA Management Board.
