Shares of Wacker Neuson have experienced a significant rise this year, increasing by approximately 50% in Frankfurt trading. This surge has elevated the company's market value to about €1.6 billion ($1.8 billion) [2]. The company's strong portfolio includes brands such as Wacker Neuson, Kramer, Weidemann, and Enar, and it has forecasted annual revenue of up to €2.3 billion and an Ebit margin of up to 7.5% for this year [2].
The company's major shareholders pool their stakes under Wacker Familiengesellschaft mbH, which owns 15% of the company, according to its website. A trust called PIN Privatstiftung holds 26%, while SWRW Verwaltungs-GmbH has a 17% interest [2]. The volume of mergers and acquisitions involving German companies has risen 61% this year to $77 billion, with Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky offering to take German wholesaler Metro AG private, and KKR & Co. acquiring IT services firm Datagroup SE [2].
Deliberations are ongoing, and there is no certainty that the discussions will lead to a transaction. A representative for Wacker Neuson did not immediately respond to queries [1].
