Deutsche Bank plans IPO comeback: momentum in the capital market again!
Deutsche Bank is aiming for a comeback in the IPO business after hopes for a surge in initial public offerings (IPOs) in the US and Europe have so far failed to materialise. Due to the uncertainties caused by US President Trump's policies, many companies have postponed their IPOs. The bank is planning to strengthen its market position in the capital market business and there has been a lot of noise The shareholder selected as global coordinator for at least eight IPOs this year and next.
The planned IPOs include the pharmaceutical company Stada and the agricultural chemicals division of the chemical giant BASF. In 2019, CEO Christian Sewing restructured Deutsche Bank's equity business as part of a comprehensive corporate restructuring to better position the company for future challenges.
Return to the IPO market
Although Deutsche Bank fell to eighth place in the IPO segment in Germany in 2020, it intends to fight its way back to the top. The bank did not play a significant role, particularly with regard to the IPO of Porsche AG in 2022. In order to improve its market position, Deutsche Bank took over the British broker Numis and created positions to realign the business area. Julian Schoof, Head of Investment Banking, highlights the support of the Board of Directors and the CEO for the current efforts.
An end to market volatility could bring new momentum to the IPO business, which would be important as the bank's revenue rose 19 percent to 52 million euros in the first quarter, but only accounts for 2 percent of total investment banking revenue. In this context, Deutsche Bank shares also rose to a new annual high.
Perspectives for the future
A possible recovery in the IPO market could not only strengthen sales in the capital market-related area, but also have a positive impact on other business areas. With a strong focus on upcoming IPOs, Deutsche Bank is committed to growth and strengthening its market share in a changing economic environment.
