Why Porsche SE is no longer just about cars
You’d think Porsche SE builds cars, right? But they actually don’t. Instead, they own big chunks of Volkswagen and Porsche AG. That’s how they make money – through dividends from those companies.
But things are changing.
A new path: from sports cars to defence and motorways?
Porsche SE now wants to invest in defence and infrastructure. Think roads, bridges, and military tech. Why? Because Germany is putting serious money into these areas. There’s even a special €500 billion fund just for infrastructure.
And here’s the smart bit: by investing in these sectors, Porsche SE also gets access to clever technology. That could help Volkswagen and Porsche AG stay ahead of the game.
It sounds smart – but there are risks too.
Still financially solid, even with lower dividends
Most of Porsche SE’s income comes from Volkswagen. This year, VW paid out less. So Porsche SE earned less too. Their dividend dropped from €2.56 to €1.91 per share.
But they’re still in good shape. No scary debt. Plenty of cash to invest. And as long as VW and Porsche AG stay profitable, so will Porsche SE.
Smart leadership focused on the long game
Lutz Meschke, a former Porsche AG exec, is leading the investment push. He’s not just looking at profits – he’s also thinking about technology that can help VW in the long run.
His approach? Keep the current holdings, but add smart new investments that bring value and support future growth.
A big discount on the stock market – but for how long?
Porsche SE’s shares are trading about 30% below the value of what they actually own. That’s a big discount – especially when you know their main assets are solid.
And if they make smart moves into defence and infrastructure? That discount could start to shrink fast.
New sectors with long-term promise
Car sales usually drop when the economy slows down. But defence and infrastructure? Governments often increase spending in tough times.
So these new investments could bring more balance and stability to Porsche SE’s portfolio.
What risks should you watch?
- Will VW keep paying strong dividends?
- Will Porsche SE pick the right investments?
- What if government rules suddenly change?
And if they go too heavy into defence, some investors may worry about ethics. That could affect the share price too.
A good fit if you…
- Like finding undervalued shares with a strong base.
- Believe in Germany’s big push into defence and infrastructure.
- Want to benefit from tech growth through a steady holding company.
Current share price: about €75
Estimated value of their assets: €100–110
That’s a 30% discount – so the upside is clear.
So, what’s the move?
Porsche SE still looks like a buy. Especially if you invest before they announce their first major move. Once the market sees where they’re going, the price could start climbing.
Keep this one on your radar. It might be shifting gears sooner than most expect.
