While the rest of the Italian stock market has experienced a downturn, Juventus shares in the Milan Stock Exchange have risen by 62% in the last month, according to Juan Castro of MARCA. At the same time, the FTSE MIB index, which includes the main Italian companies, "continued to fall in recent weeks" (-6.2%) due to the national and int'l context. Since Cristiano Ronaldo's move, Juve's shares have reached €1.47 ($1.72), while the previous record, dated Jan. 3, 2002, was €1.32. Juventus' general capitalization "also registers" historic levels, having reached €1.35B ($1.58B) as maximum value and an overall 86% rise in stock value from the beginning of the year (MARCA, 9/12).
