From the potential bankruptcy case to the new stock exchange star: the Austrian engine manufacturer Steyr Motors is currently ensuring significant profits in the investor deposits.
• Steyr Motors celebrates spectacular comeback and benefits strongly from the armaments boom
• Steyr Motors share multiplied within a few months
• Evaluation is a challenge
In 2018 it looked bad for the Austrian Group Steyr Motors: Refurbishment efforts were followed by bankruptcy proceedings, which were not successful. With the French armaments group Thales, there was a new owner around a year later, but only the sale to the Mutares investment company in 2022 brought the turn. An operational turnaround was so successful that the business was able to bring itself to the stock exchange significantly and mutares Steyr Motors in October 2024. From the first day on, Steyr’s IPO was a success – in February 2025 the stock market was followed in Vienna and here, too, Steyr Motors’s stock made an unchecked upward trend.
A record high of 384 euros was recently reached in Xetra trading-a Steyr Motors share with 14 euros still cost significantly less at the start of the stock market. In Vienna, the top went up to 390 euros – here, too, the share certificate has multiplied since the start of the stock market. But as quickly as the share went uphill, it recently went down again recently.
Full order books
The massive price gains within a short time arouse desires and worries at the same time. A look at the latest numbers helps to better classify the hype.
Steyr Motors’ business benefits to a very large extent from the current armor boom, which also ensures new all -time highs in the shares of Rheinmetall & Co. Steyr Motors is a specialist in drive and energy generation – including for weapon systems – and is therefore one of the most sought -after armor titles.
This is particularly reflected in full order books: a framework contract with a customer in Brazil contributed to this as well as a recently announced extensive development and delivery agreement with Rheinmetall. According to Steyr Motors, Steyr Motors brings technological know-how in the development of powerful diesel engines and power generators to the partnership with Rheinmetall-Daughter Rheinmetall Landysteme GmbH, a leading manufacturer of tactical vehicles.
Festival orders, framework orders and non -binding sales commitments would be added to almost 200 million euros by the end of 2027, the latest balance sheet was said. In addition, further customer calls are currently underway and the market forecasts for all relevant markets are positive, the engine manufacturer showed himself extremely optimistic for the further business prospects.
Convince business figures
Other key figures also convinced: In the 2024 financial year, Steyr Motors was able to increase its revenues by 9.2 percent to 41.7 million euros – according to group information, in particular due to the high demand for high -performance unit in the Defense area, which made the largest share of sales with 61 percent. The Austrian company also hit well on the results page: the adjusted EBIT climbed from EUR 3.6 million in the previous year to 10.1 million euros, the adjusted EBIT margin also improved significantly from 9.4 percent to 24.3 percent in 2024.
The company’s outlook was also particularly positive on the market: in 2025, the proceeds are to increase by a whopping 40 percent, and the EBIT margin expects a value of well over 20 percent. You want to achieve these goals through increased activities in Asia, the Mena region and North and South America.
To justify strong price rally?
Despite the extremely positive business development and the positive growth prospects, the question arises whether the multiplication of the stock value is justified. A look at an important key figure can help with the evaluation. In terms of price sales ratio, an overvaluation for the Steyr Motors share indicates, here Steyr Motors is clearly above the Rheinmetall or Renk industry colleague.
Investors at Steyr Motors should also observe in particular what the main part of Mutares does. The investment company has only brought a fraction of its share of Steyr Motor to the stock exchange, around 70 percent of the company were still in the hands of mutares after the IPO. On the day of the balance sheet template, this changed: Mutares announced that it wanted to reduce participation in the engine farmer. With the step, the free float should be enlarged due to a very strong investor’s question, said the company listed in the SDAX nity value index.
How many shares should go into free float remained open. The main shareholder, which is also listed, continues to have all the trump cards in his hand. Mutares currently benefits from the strong course development of the Steyr Motors share on a direct and indirect way, because the mutares share has recently made strong profits in the slipstream of the stock market rally at Steyr. If the investment company uses the favor of the hour and throws further of its shares onto the market, this could put a strain on the Steyr Motors course.
Against this background and especially after the exorbitant stock market rally, investors should therefore closely observe the current developments around Steyr Motors. Even analysts have so far largely relied with a stock assessment.
