Fundamental Metrics (As of April/May 2025)

  • P/E Ratio: Stands at 52, indicating high growth expectations.
  • Dividend: Payout of €11.25 per share.
  • Market Capitalization: Most recently around €26.8 billion, with the current price increase likely boosting this value further.

Technical Assessment

  • The distance to the critical support line (200-day line) is currently over 96.47 % – an indicator of sustained bull market conditions.
  • The beta of 0.89 indicates lower volatility than the overall market, which is surprising given the sector (defense/machine construction).

For private investors, the key remains: The geopolitical situation as a driver of arms demand, operational margin development despite raw material price risks, and integration of new technologies such as electric mobility in the supply sectors. The recent price jump underscores market confidence in Rheinmetall’s ability to capitalize on global defense budget increases.
