Spinneys’ shares rose up to 11% on its trading debut on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) yesterday before settling up nearly 5% at AED 1.6. Shares opened at AED 1.7, up from the final set price of AED 1.53. The IPO had raised AED 1.38 bn after receiving more than AED 71 bn in orders, marking a successful, rare listing of a private family business in Dubai.
