LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Auna S.A. ('Auna' or the 'Company'), a leading healthcare services provider in Latin America with operations in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia, announced that its common shares will begin trading on the Lima Stock Exchange ('BVL') today. This milestone is part of the Company's strategy to improve trading liquidity, strengthen its presence in Latin America´s capital markets, and expand its access to local and regional investors.
Auna's common shares are now traded on both the New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE') and the BVL under the ticker symbol 'AUNA'. With this listing, Auna becomes the only healthcare company currently listed on the BVL.
The BVL listing enhances Auna's visibility in Latin America´s capital markets and facilitates access for Peruvian and regional investors. 'This listing is a strategic step that reflects our long-term commitment to Latin America. We want to make Auna more accessible to all investors—from global, regional and local institutional investors to individual investors, shareholders and our employees — by improving liquidity and deepening awareness of our value proposition,' said Suso Zamora, Executive Chairman and President of Auna.
The combined trading presence on both exchanges is intended to enhance Auna's eligibility for inclusion in local, regional and global equity indices, further expanding and diversifying its institutional investor base. Auna's participation in the BVL is expected to provide further benefits through regional integration, greater investor reach, and increased market visibility due to the regional trading market, nuam, which is present in Peru, Chile and Colombia.
