Thyssenkrupp’s Stock Rides a 23% May Rally on Strong Orders, While Goldman Cuts Stake Below 5%
30.05.2026 - 16:05:59 | boerse-global.de
Thyssenkrupp’s shares powered through May with a 23% gain, landing the industrial conglomerate at ninth place among MDAX components for the month. The advance has been underpinned by a dramatic improvement in second-quarter operating numbers—but the market also had to digest news that Goldman Sachs has trimmed its position below a key reporting threshold.
The US investment bank’s overall stake fell from 5.35% to 4.79%, slipping under the 5% notification level. The reduction, executed on 21 May and disclosed on Friday, leaves Goldman with just 0.08% in direct voting rights; the rest is held through derivatives such as options, swaps and warrants. The move is a routine regulatory adjustment and carries no direct implications for Thyssenkrupp’s operations.
The operational picture, by contrast, has brightened considerably. In the fiscal second quarter, incoming orders jumped 32% year-on-year to €10.6 billion, propelled by large contracts at the Marine Systems division, which now sports an order backlog of more than €20 billion. Adjusted EBIT surged from €19 million to €198 million, while the steel business benefited from lower raw material and energy costs as well as restructuring effects. Not everything shone: group revenue edged down from €8.6 billion to €8.4 billion, and the bottom line recorded a net loss of €11 million. Management confirmed its full-year outlook for adjusted EBIT and free cash flow but trimmed its revenue guidance to a range of minus 3% to zero.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Thyssenkrupp?
The stock closed Friday at €11.72, up 1.21% on the day and more than 8% higher on the week. That still leaves it roughly 11.5% below the 52-week high of €13.24 touched in October 2025. By contrast, the 50-day moving average stands at €9.37, meaning the shares now trade a solid 25% above that level. The relative strength index sits at 62.2—elevated but not yet in overbought territory. With annualized volatility of 56%, any further climb toward the high is unlikely to follow a smooth path.
The next scheduled corporate catalyst is a long way off: the nine-month interim report for fiscal 2025/2026 is due on 13 August 2026. In the immediate term, price action will depend on chart dynamics and capital flows within the MDAX. For investors tracking the broader restructuring narrative, the key questions remain whether the recent earnings momentum can be sustained and how the planned transformation into a financial holding progresses. The Goldman reduction, while notable, offers little reason for concern—it simply shows a large financial player adjusting its positioning.
