REPORTAGE
It's the star of the day: the French action of the Games went public on Thursday, and with what success! The operation was indeed acclaimed by the French, half a million people who participated in the subscription. A spectacular success, greeted by Bruno Le Maire, who was present Thursday morning at the Paris Stock Exchange, where the traditional bell sounded as for each new IPO.
It was at 7:30 sharp that the bell was drawn, half an hour after the opening of markets. Normally, it is rather drawn at 9 o'clock, but given the scale of the operation, everyone has preferred to leave time for the banks, the market to absorb this introduction. A historic moment, according to the patron of the French Games, Stéphane Pallez, who left the Minister of Economy the honor of putting the bell in motion. As soon as sounded, the action soared to more than 18%. Reassuring for savers, even if the stock market remains the stock market.
"The reconciliation of the French with their economy"
"I'm not going to read in the coffee grounds, I'm not Madame Irma, but I think that the French who have invested in La Française des jeux have made a responsible investment," reacted Bruno Le Maire. "There is always a risk to invest in the stock market, it's the reality, but this is a risk that seems to me calculated, a reasonable risk, because La Française des Jeux is a company that is solid. I wish indeed is that this success of the IPO of the FDJ marks the reconciliation of the French with their economy, the reconciliation of the French with the investment a little more risky in their companies.
And at noon, the action French games still remained up + 16%. Buy 19.50 euros, it was worth 22.64 euros.
