Rheinmetall Stock Soars Tenfold Since Start of Ukraine War
Germany's largest arms manufacturer sees unprecedented growth driven by rising defense spending and high demand for military equipment.
- Rheinmetall's share price has increased from €96.8 in February 2022 to €968 in February 2025, reflecting a tenfold rise.
- The company's growth is fueled by supplying weapons to Ukraine and increased defense investment by NATO countries fearing Russian aggression.
- Rheinmetall's order backlog has more than doubled since 2021, reaching €52 billion by late 2024, with further growth anticipated.
- Expanded production capacity, including its largest facility in Unterlüß, supports rising demand for tanks, ammunition, and digitalized infantry equipment.
- Analysts predict continued growth due to Europe's push for military modernization and reduced reliance on U.S. defense suppliers.
