Note: Most of the information in the table comes from the official accounts in the commercial registers. In the case of large companies publicly traded, the constant trading of shares means information becomes obsolete quickly and the shares indicated may well change as is the case with Indra and other companies susceptible to constant speculative activity on account of their importance in strategic sectors related to new technologies, companies which deal with electronics, and the aerospace sector (Amper, Indra, etc.).
