Italy’s stock market roars back with €3.589 trillion rebound after 2022 crash
The value of Italian joint-stock companies has surged over the past three years, reversing earlier declines. After a sharp drop in the stock market in 2022, the market has rebounded strongly, with total worth climbing to €3.589 trillion in 2024. Analysts now project further growth, reaching €3.936 trillion by 2025.
The Italian stock market faced a downturn in 2022, losing 7.0% of its value. Listed companies alone dropped by 18.1% that year, falling from €619 billion to €507 billion. This marked a low point before recovery began.
From 2022 onwards, the stock market shifted direction. By 2023, the total value of joint-stock companies had risen by 18.2%, reaching €3.311 trillion. Growth continued in 2024, with an 8.4% increase bringing the total to €3.589 trillion.
One standout performer has been Leonardo SpA, a defence and aerospace firm. Its stock soared by 176% in 2024, driven by demand in sensors, robotics, and cyber-security. The Italian state, holding a 30% stake, has benefited from this surge. The company’s upward trend has extended into 2025.
Listed companies have also seen a strong rebound. Their combined value rose from €507 billion in 2022 to €657 billion in 2024. Projections for 2025 suggest a further jump to €808 billion—an increase of €151 billion, the largest in this three-year period.
The stock market’s expansion has now surpassed the losses of 2022. With joint-stock companies expected to reach €3.936 trillion in 2025, the recovery reflects broader confidence in Italian industry. Listed firms, in particular, are set for their strongest annual growth since the downturn.
