Robust gains, strong earnings metrics, and discounted valuations define the Greek market outlook.

Investors watching global markets in 2025 have increasingly turned their attention to Greece, where performance has far exceeded major regions such as the US and Europe.

Market data shows that while returns across the US and Europe moved within a similar range in local currency terms, Greece delivered one of the highest performances worldwide in both euros and dollars.

The MSCI Greece index rose 55 percent in euros and 75 percent in dollars, leaving the global average of 19 percent far behind.

Valuation figures for 2026 and 2027 indicate that notable discrepancies persist across international markets, with Greece still trading at a pronounced discount.

The Greek market advanced 55 percent in local currency and 75.3 percent in dollars in 2025, underscoring a year of exceptional momentum.

Analysts emphasize that this rally is not the result of inflated valuations, as pricing metrics remain firmly grounded.

The market price to earnings ratio is projected at 9.8 for 2025, easing to 8.9 in 2026 and 8.1 in 2027.

Additional indicators show price to book value at 1.4 times, return on equity at 13.7 percent and a dividend yield of 4.8 percent, collectively forming an investment profile marked by growth, profitability and reliable shareholder income.
