⚠️🇷🇺📉 PIK — Delisting
With PIK's departure from the exchange, the stock market will lose an important benchmark. "PIK served for many years as a kind of indicator of the entire housing market's health — analysts and investors used its reporting to track sales dynamics, prices, and delivery volumes.

The departure of the largest developer may reduce the appeal of Russian developers for long-term investment. Other developers could follow PIK's lead." — analysts
