Ownership
Listed on Borsa Italiana since 2001, but the De'Longhi family holding controls 53.5% of shares and 69.4% of votes through loyalty-share double voting per the January 2025 Consob filing. Acquisitions are additive brands: Kenwood and Ariete in 2001, the Braun household license in 2012, Capital Brands in 2020, La Marzocco in 2024.
Why Approved
Public capital funds the acquisitions while dual voting keeps the family in charge. The acquired brands get kept and run, and the premium machines stay in Italy. No extraction signals.
Reversibility
What would change our verdict
Family control diluted below a voting majority. Premium espresso production exiting Italy.
