Introduction about the company
Porsche AG Vz is one of the most iconic and respected car manufacturers in the world. Headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, Porsche is part of the Volkswagen Group. Since its founding, the brand has been synonymous with sporty performance, timeless design, and technological innovation.
Porsche focuses on the higher end of the automotive market, supplying vehicles worldwide that are known for their quality, driving experience, and technical sophistication. In addition to legendary models such as the 911 and Cayman, the brand has invested heavily in electrification in recent years, including the introduction of the Taycan and hybrid versions of the Cayenne and Macan. With this strategic focus on sustainability and innovation, Porsche is responding to the future of mobility without compromising its distinctive character.
Key figures & performance
In the last twelve months, Porsche AG Vz achieved sales of €38.12 billion, down from €40.52 billion in 2023. Net profit for the same period was €5.85 billion, down from €7.55 billion in the previous year. The company has more than 42,600 employees worldwide. Porsche's market capitalization in June 2025 was €38.18 billion, placing the company in 445th place worldwide in terms of market capitalization.
History & development
Porsche was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, originally as an engineering firm. In 1948, the first sports car bearing the Porsche name - the 356 - rolled off the assembly line. Since then, the brand has left an indelible impression on the automotive industry. In 2022, Porsche AG went public independently, with one of the largest IPOs in Europe in the past decade. Just three months later, on December 19, 2022, the company was included in the DAX 40 index via a so-called "fast entry."
Today, Porsche combines sporting performance with sustainable innovation, for example, with the all-electric Taycan and electrified models of the Cayenne and Macan. Four new models were launched in 2024.
Sector & competition
Porsche operates in the premium segment of the automotive market. Competitors include Ferrari, Tesla, Mercedes-AMG, and BMW M. The brand distinguishes itself with a strong brand identity, technological innovation, and an excellent balance between luxury and driving performance. Porsche also benefits from economies of scale and technological synergies within the Volkswagen Group.

Influence of Porsche AG Vz on the DAX 40
However, with a market capitalization of more than €40 billion, Porsche has a very small impact on the DAX 40. Porsche AG Vz has a weighting of 0.45% (measured in December 2024). View the composition of the DAX 40 and the weighting of all companies in the DAX 40 here. The company's share price is influenced by global auto sales, technological developments, the transition to electric driving, and macroeconomic trends such as commodity prices and consumer demand. The performance of the Volkswagen Group as the majority shareholder also plays a role.
Investment analysis & outlook
In 2025, Porsche expects an operating profit margin of 10-12%, down from 14% in 2024. The decline is due to higher investments in new models, battery technology, and research & development. In the medium term, the company targets a margin of 15-17%.
Sales for 2024 came to €40.1 billion, slightly lower than in 2023. Operating income fell to €5.6 billion. For the 2024 fiscal year, Porsche is paying a dividend of €2.31 per preferred share, representing an attractive yield of about 5.6% at the current share price. Porsche remains attractive for long-term investors thanks to its strong brand position, technological edge and consistent dividend policy.
Looking at Porsche's share price development since May 2023, a clear downward trend becomes apparent. The stock has experienced a significant decline since then and no convincing recovery has yet been initiated. Nevertheless, Porsche's prospects offer starting points for recovery towards previous share price levels. The question remains, however when that turning point will occur.
News & updates
Although last year's results were disappointing, Porsche continues to invest heavily in research & development, battery technology and the expansion of its production capacity. The goal is to offer more than 80% of the model range electric by 2030. Despite pressure on margins and increasing competition within the EV segment, management recently reaffirmed its commitment to a stable dividend policy.
With this long-term strategy, Porsche continues to position itself as a technological leader within the premium segment of the global automotive market. More information about the company can be found at: www.porsche.com
