Largest listed companies in Greece by market capitalization
Greek stocks form a vital part of the Southeastern European financial markets. They are primarily traded on the Athens Exchange (ATHEX), a significant regional exchange with growing importance. Despite economic challenges in recent decades, the Greek stock market, mainly represented by the FTSE/Athex Large Cap index, offers investors exposure to companies with strong domestic presence and increasing regional influence.
The ATHEX is not just an exchange for Greek companies; it attracts interest from investors seeking Balkan and Mediterranean market exposure. Key characteristics of investing on the ATHEX include:
- Market-leading domestic players: Companies with dominant positions in key Greek economic sectors.
- Strategic sectors: Banking (National Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank), energy (PPC, Helleniq Energy), tourism (Mytilineos, GEK Terna), and shipping (Diana Shipping, Star Bulk Carriers).
- Recovering dividend culture: Several major companies have reinstated dividend payments as the economy stabilizes, attracting income-focused investors.
The National Bank of Greece, founded in 1841, stands as the country’s oldest financial institution. Alongside major peers like Alpha Bank and Eurobank, the banking sector represents a significant portion of the ATHEX Composite Index. Investing in Greek stocks provides access to companies that are crucial to the reconstruction of Greece’s economy and its connectivity within the Mediterranean region.
Several Greek companies have established consistent dividend records despite economic headwinds. Coca-Cola HBC (bottler with Greek roots) maintains a strong dividend tradition, while energy group Helleniq Energy has resumed payments as profitability returned. The shipping sector remains particularly noteworthy, with Greece controlling approximately 20% of the world’s merchant fleet. Though smaller than major European exchanges, the ATHEX hosts globally competitive shipping giants like EuroDry and Safe Bulkers that operate internationally.
