The Haselsteiner family wants to sell 1.7 percent of Strabag. The stock market does not like this.
Strabag's founding family Haselsteiner wants to sell around 1.7 percent of the Strabag construction group. That is around two million shares or a stake of 151 million euros (as per the closing price on Tuesday), as the news agency Bloomberg wrote on Tuesday evening.
Now the share is reacting. And not exactly well. On Wednesday morning, the share fell by 12.2 percent to around 66 euros. In contrast, the leading ATX index was only around 0.19 percent lower.
By yesterday, the share price had already risen by around 90 percent since the beginning of the year. After the price drop on Wednesday, the increase was still around 65 percent. The Haselsteiner family, Strabag's largest shareholder, would reduce its stake to 29 percent with the sale.
