Lazio's surprise run at the top of the Serie A has prompted trading of the club's shares on the Italian stock exchange to be suspended after a nearly 26 percent rise early Monday.
Lazio beat Cagliari 2-1 Sunday to move four points ahead of five-time defending champion Inter Milan, which was held to a 1-1 draw by Sampdoria.
Lazio is off to its best start in club history, winning six of its opening eight matches. For the last seven seasons, the leader at this point has gone on to win the Italian league.
Trading on the Milan exchange is automatically suspended if shares drop or rise beyond a 10-percent limit.
