The goal we pursue in our investor relations activities
is to provide all capital market participants
with up-to-date corporate information – transparently
and simultaneously. This makes it all the
more gratifying that our efforts have been recognised
with the coveted IVA DAVID award. This
accolade honours companies and individuals for
significant contributions to the encouragement of
broadly based capital markets and shareholderfriendly
involvement. This award is testimony to
the success of our efforts to retain and extend the
trust of shareholders and the financial community
in AT&S Group.
Share price
The share price recorded a steady increase until
December 2010, reflecting the positive overall
business performance during the period. The
share reached a high of EUR 18.20 in mid-January,
making it one of Austria’s best performing stocks
in 2010. Reflecting the seasonal fluctuations in
mobile phone sales and the disaster in Japan,
which had the entire industry holding its breath,
the share price fell back somewhat, closing the
financial year on 31 March 2011 at EUR 15.84. An
encouraging sign is the significantly increased
liquidity of AT&S stock, with average daily traded
volumes over the last 100 days amounting to
around 6,000 shares, considerably higher than at
the start of the year.
At the end of September 2010, Landesbank Baden-
Württemberg (LBWW) discontinued its coverage
of AT&S stock because of internal restructuring
measures. Fortunately, however, UniCredit,
Deutsche Bank and Berenberg shortly afterwards
all resumed their coverage, taking the total number
of analysts covering AT&S from three at the
start of the year to six.
We made the most of these positive developments
to raise awareness of AT&S stock among institutional
investors in key European financial markets.
Our autumn campaign centred on the Vienna,
Frankfurt and Zürich financial markets, and on
establishing close relationships with selected investors.
In the spring the focus of our investor relations
activities shifted to Asia, where we organised
a non-deal roadshow in Hong Kong and Singapore
in early March. Our Investors Day at the Shanghai
site – the first of its kind – was well received by
analysts and local media alike. The positive feedback
and high levels of interest encountered in all
three Asian financial centres were an encouraging
start, and we now intend to continue our activities
in these markets over the course of the next year.
