The Domínguez de la Maza family, owners of the Mayoral textile group and holders of over €1.3 billion in assets, announced their support for Digi’s planned stock market listing and disclosed that they already own more than 5 % of the capital in over ten listed companies. This backing supplies a significant cornerstone investor for the telecom’s IPO, which aims to raise around €500 million to fund fibre and mobile‑network expansion. While the family’s concentrated stakes raise potential regulatory scrutiny over market concentration, their involvement could enhance investor confidence and improve pricing stability for the offering.
