More stocks are posting gains due to possibly good news from first quarter reports

The flow of first-quarter corporate results from companies listed on the Greek stock market boosted the benchmark at Athinon Avenue on Thursday, sending it fairly close to the 900-point mark on improved turnover too. With rising stocks outnumbering losers at a three-to-one ratio, the price growth is expected to continue given that positive news is anticipated from the Q1 reports.

The banks index jumped 3.06%, as Eurobank soared 5.15%, Piraeus jumped 3.24%, Alpha climbed 3.16% and National edged up 0.26%. GEK Terna improved 4.21%, ADMIE Holdings advanced 3.93%, Aegean Air rose 2.37%, Titan Cement grew 2.11% and Lamda Development collected 2.01%.

In total 70 stocks posted gains, 23 endured losses and 22 remained unchanged.
