The session saw significant divergence among individual companies. Several stocks posted strong results, with two reaching multi-year highs.

• Top Gainers: HELLENiQ ENERGY Holdings SA (AT:HEPr) was a standout performer, rising 4.21% to a 5-year high. Athens Water (AT:EYDr) also reached a 5-year high, adding 3.79%, while Noval Property Real Estate Investment Co (AT:NOVALr) gained 3.19%.
