Next Vision's management was surprised by the move of American fund giant Fidelity on Monday, when it sold approximately 6% of the company's shares at a 7% discount to the market price at the time, for NIS 1.3 billion. The capital market was also taken aback by the move, a surprise reflected in an approximately 11% drop in the company's stock throughout the day. Chen Golan, chairman of Next Vision, stated that despite the NIS 1.3 billion sale, Fidelity managed to close the deal without a significant discount. Some view the sale as risk management alongside an expression of confidence, while others fear the entry of short-term investors. An Israeli institutional body purchased Next Vision shares worth NIS 200 million.
