The beautiful 20, close to a historic summit
The ascent of Lotus Bakeries obviously boosted this Friday the beautiful 20, which is fast approaching its historic summit of 4,756.92 points, reached on May 23, 2007. The performance of the Bel 20 since the beginning of the year is obviously linked to the sharp increase in several of its star values. First of all there is “the CuFINIMMO catch-up (+ 51.34 %) whose course benefited from both the resumption of real estate but also from the Aedifica opera (itself up to 25 %) “, Note Xavier Servais, managing director of the investment consulting company Delande. The Elia course (+ 46.53 %) has also straightened “Following good results but above all the successful capital increase in April, which reassured worried investors of the extent of investments to finance”.

It is also necessary to note the good performance of the KBC and Ageas financial values, which continue on their momentum since they were already upstairs in 2024.
