🚨 Milestone Alert: Italy’s FTSE MIB just crossed 50,000 points for the first time in 26 years.
It sits only 59 points away from its March 2000 all-time high. But underneath the surface, everything has changed. 🧵👇
1/ The Telecom Ghost. In March 2000, Telecom Italia and TIM made up ~30% of the index (€190B market cap). Today, the entire telecom sector accounts for a mere 1.40%. Speculative hype has left the building. 📞❌
2/ The Banking Fortress. The rally is fundamentally cash-driven. Banking now represents 37.48% of the FTSE MIB (approx. €257B), more than double its weight during the Dot-com bubble (17.75%). 🏦📈
3/ New Industrial Titans. Many of today’s main drivers weren't even listed in 2000. Giants like Ferrari (listed 2015) and Prysmian (listed 2007) or Stm are the new backbone of the index. 🏎️🔌
4/ The Inflation Reality Check. Nominal vs Real. If we adjust the year 2000 peak for 26 years of cumulative inflation (ISTAT multiplier 1.632), that historical top would equal roughly 81,800 points today. ⚖️📉
26 years ago, Milan was driven by irrational TMT expectations. Today, it’s a market anchored to real economy: robust banking margins, defense, utilities, and high-tech infrastructure like STM. A healthier, sturdier record. 🧠🇮🇹
