Introduction about the company
Porsche Automobil Holding SE has its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. Porsche Automobil Holding SE is not a car manufacturer in the traditional sense, but a holding company. The company was formed in 2007 following the restructuring of Porsche and Volkswagen, with the Porsche-Piëch family retaining control of Volkswagen AG through the holding company. In addition to its majority stake in Volkswagen, Porsche SE also invests in technology and mobility companies, capitalizing on innovations in the sector.
Key figures & performance
In 2024, Porsche Automobil Holding SE reported a loss of around €20 billion, mainly caused by non-cash write-downs on its stake in Volkswagen AG. Despite this substantial negative result, the holding company still has a solid capital structure and the dividend policy remains in place. The market capitalization in July 2025 was around €18 billion, while the share price fell by almost 4% over the past 12 months. With this, Porsche SE clearly lagged behind the broader DAX, largely related to Volkswagen's challenging market position and high investments in electrification and digitalization.
History & development
Porsche Automobil Holding SE was founded in 2007 as part of the complex merger and power struggle between Porsche and Volkswagen. Ultimately, Volkswagen gained control of Porsche AG, the sports car manufacturer, while Porsche SE retained a controlling stake in Volkswagen AG. Since then, Porsche SE has functioned primarily as an investment vehicle of the Porsche-Piëch family. Its inclusion in the DAX 40 in 2021 confirmed Porsche SE's status as an influential player on the German stock exchange.
Sector & competition
Although Porsche SE does not produce cars itself, the stock is strongly intertwined with the automotive sector through Volkswagen AG. As a result, it indirectly experiences the same market dynamics and competition as carmakers such as Toyota, Stellantis and Tesla. Porsche SE's value development is therefore largely linked to trends in the global car market: electrification, stricter emissions regulations, technological innovations and geopolitical trade flows. In addition, Porsche SE is increasingly investing in technology companies outside the traditional automotive industry to diversify its portfolio.
Influence of Porsche SE on the DAX 40
With a weighting of about 0.31% (measured in July 2025) within the DAX-40, Porsche SE occupies a smaller but stable position in the index. Movements in the share price have a limited impact on the overall performance of the DAX, but do give a good indication of developments at Volkswagen and the broader auto sector. The stock price reacts mainly to car sales, investment in electric vehicles and geopolitical trade decisions. View the composition of the DAX 40 and the weighting of all companies in the DAX 40 here.
Investment analysis & outlook
Porsche SE shares experienced a price decline of almost 4% over the past 12 months, clearly lagging behind the broader DAX. The chart shows that the stock has been on a downward trend since 2021, while the DAX rose almost 80% over the same period. This shows structural underperformance, mainly caused by the dependence on Volkswagen's results and challenges in the global automotive sector.
The share price is still around 40% below the levels of several years ago. This highlights that investors remain cautious due to concerns about high investments in electrification, pressure on margins and the complexity of the automotive market. Nevertheless, Porsche SE remains attractive to investors who want exposure to Volkswagen through a holding structure and value stable dividend payments.
Looking ahead, the recovery potential remains dependent on Volkswagen's ability to accelerate its electrification strategy and improve profitability. If this strategy succeeds, Porsche SE could benefit from catching up. For now, however, a cautious attitude prevails, with the stock having more defensive value than growth momentum.
In 2025, Porsche SE announced its intention to invest more in technology companies focused on mobility and digitalization in order to become less dependent on Volkswagen's performance. In addition, the board confirmed a solid dividend payout, keeping the company attractive to long-term investors.
With its long-term strategy focused on value creation through its stake in Volkswagen AG and investments in innovative mobility and technology companies, Porsche Automobil Holding SE continues to establish itself as an influential player within the German automotive industry.
