In 2025, the BET index, which tracks the performance of the 20 most liquid companies listed on the BVB, recorded its best performance in 16 years, following a 46% increase. Since the beginning of 2026, the index has advanced 15%.
Cris-Tim Family Holding is the market leader in cold cuts and ready-meals in Romania, and one of the largest players in Romania’s agrifood sector. The company’s shares began trading on the BVB Regulated Market on November 26, 2025. The listing followed an Initial Public Offering (IPO) that raised RON454.35 million (EUR89.3 million) from investors. The retail investors’ tranche posted a record subscription level for the local capital market – 42 times and 32 times after reallocating 5% from the institutional investors’ tranche. The inclusion in the Exchange’s main index follows a period of remarkable performance. Since the IPO, Cris-Tim’s share price has increased by over 46%, reaching RON24.20/share. At the close of the trading session on Friday, March 20, Cris-Tim Family Holding had a market capitalization of RON1.9 billion.
Shortly after listing, on December 2, 2025, Cris-Tim Family Holding contracted Issuer Market Making services provided by BRK Financial Group.
“We are honored to see Cris-Tim Family Holding included in the BET index, the benchmark of the Bucharest Stock Exchange. For a company with over 30 years of history, this is a key milestone in our development and reflects the growing role capital markets play in our strategy going forward. From the moment of our IPO, one of our objectives was to contribute to a broader and more balanced representation of entrepreneurial Romanian businesses on the local stock market. Our inclusion today is a clear step in that direction, offering both active and passive investors more diversified exposure to the Romanian economy. I would like to thank all our shareholders – those who trusted us at the IPO, and those who joined us along the way. Their confidence is already well reflected in the performance of our shares and drives us to continue delivering on the growth potential we have outlined for the years ahead,” stated Radu Timis Jr., CEO of Cris-Tim Family Holding.
“Ever since its Initial Public Offering and subsequent listing, both taking place at the end of 2025, Cris-Tim has laid the groundwork for an exceptional journey on the capital market. This trajectory is confirmed today by another milestone: the inclusion of CFH shares in BET, the BVB’s benchmark index, as Cris-Tim joins the ranks of the 20 most liquid companies listed on our exchange. Cris-Tim contributes to the diversification of the sectors represented within the index, being the only agrifood company included in BET. The Cris-Tim team, its investors, and partners are building a company that now stands at the forefront of the Romanian stock exchange – a company capable of cultivating trust and enhancing its value. I congratulate Cris-Tim Family Holding for this achievement, which boosts the attractiveness of the capital market and strengthens the Exchange’s representativeness of the high-performing sectors in the Romanian economy,” stated Remus Vulpescu, CEO of BVB.
The weight of CFH shares in the BET index is 0.51%. Following its inclusion in the BET, Cris-Tim Family Holding is also added to the gross and net total return versions of the index, specifically the BET-TR and BET-TRN indices.
The company’s shares will also become part of the BET-XT, BET-XT-TR, BET-XT-TRN, BET-BK, and BET Plus indices.
