“Benetton Group has solid fundamentals and I am convinced that recent market reaction is based purely on considerations determined by factors unrelated to the trend of the Company’s performance and which do not reflect the current and future value of the share” stated Caccia Dominioni, confirming also forecasts for a 9% growth in revenues in 2007 and an increase in EBITDA of over 20%.
