MTU Aero Engines joins the DAX index

Munich, September 4, 2019 – Following a recommendation made by the Working Committee for Equity Indices, Deutsche Börse today decided to admit MTU Aero Engines AG to the DAX, Germany’s primary stock index, effective September 23, 2019.

“Having been included in the MDAX for 14 straight years now, we are delighted to have been chosen to join the ranks of Germany’s Top 30 publicly listed companies,” said Reiner Winkler, MTU Aero Engines AG CEO. “This again is testimony to MTU’s successful development over the past few years and to the attractiveness of our stock to investors. For us, having made it into the DAX is an encouragement that spurs us on to continue our profitable growth strategy also in the future.”

As of September 4, 2019, 99 percent of MTU’s shares were in free float. MTU has a market capitalization of approximately 13.1 billion euros.

MTU Aero Engines AG has been listed on the Deutsche Börse Prime Standard since June 6, 2005 and was admitted to the MDAX mid-cap index on September 19, 2005. The share price has increased far more than tenfold since MTU’s initial public offering, when it sold its stock at an issue price of 21 euros a share. In the past, MTU has succeeded in containing the impact of economic and industry crises and posted record profits even during the biggest investment phase in its corporate history. As things stand, 2019 will mark another record-breaking year for MTU.
