In this episode, we sit down with Marc Hammoud, VP of Investor Relations at ADPorts Group, to discuss the pivotal role investor relations plays in the success of publicly listed companies.
With over 15 years in MENA capital markets, Marc shares his expertise on how IR functions as a bridge between a company and the financial community, ensuring transparency, effective communication, and optimal shareholder engagement. He highlights the key functions of IR, from managing investor expectations to shaping company strategy, and explains why IR should be a core component of a company’s journey—ideally even before an IPO.
The discussion also covers liquidity challenges and solutions for newly listed companies. Marc explains why stock liquidity is essential for valuation and how companies can proactively enhance it by broadening shareholder diversity, engaging with the right investors, and ensuring market visibility. He shares insights into how capital markets work, how companies can leverage IR to drive long-term shareholder value, and the importance of investor education in preparing for capital-raising events or shareholder divestments.
