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 Greek stocks, typically moving 5.3% 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.

This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Jan 27

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has a short dividend paying track record. Less than a year of continuous dividend payments. Dividend yield: 5.7% This is considered a minor risk.

For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
