New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Austrian stocks, typically moving 4.6% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Annonce • Jul 03
