The government crossed the reporting threshold on September 2, 2026. Voting rights attached to shares amount to 3.61%. Financial instruments account for the remaining 0.22% of the holding.
Market analysts often interpret increased sovereign wealth fund stakes as a vote of confidence in a company's long-term strategy and growth potential.
