Winners and Losers in DAX KW 21
In calendar week 21 (KW 21) of the year 2025, the DAX showed a mixed performance. Some stocks performed well while others disappointed. The analysis of individual DAX stocks provides important insights into market developments and potential investment opportunities.
According to the Xetra price values from May 16 to May 23, 2025, the following stocks were among the biggest losers in the DAX:

- Sartorius preferred shares with -6.02%
- Brenntag SE with -5.84%
- Siemens Healthineers with -5.75%
These notable losses among major automotive manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Porsche, as well as other significant companies, reflect challenges in specific industries.
Overall Market Development
Despite these setbacks, the bulls were able to further reinforce the mid-term upward trend of the DAX and even reached a new all-time high for the year 2025. However, the trading volume was below the average of recent years, indicating some market hesitation. Should the selling volume increase (bear market), it could lead to an impulsive sell-off; on the other hand, stronger buying impulses could continue the upward trend.
