The economic environment and market sentiment in 2025 were heavily shaped by US tariff developments. At the same time, geopolitical tensions persisted, notably in relation to the Russia-Ukraine conßict and the ongoing military conßicts in the Middle East. These factors contributed to increased volatility across currency, commodity, and stock markets, thereby amplifying uncertainties surrounding the global growth outlook. Despite these challenging conditions, international stock markets demonstrated considerable robustness. Declining inßation rates and the monetary policy decisions of leading central banks provided support, while hopes for a de escalation of geopolitical conßicts and advancements in trade relationships offered additional momentum. Overall, the 2025 stock market environment was characterized by selective risk aversion, but maintained a solid price performance.

The PALFINGER share started 2025 with an opening price of EUR 19.68 and already reached its annual low of EUR 19.26 on January 10. From late January to late March, the share then witnessed a consistent upward trend. April saw a temporary decline in the share price, attributed to the uncertainties surrounding the tariff policies implemented by the US administration under President Trump. This was followed by a signiÞcant upward trend, which continued until the end of July and the private placement of treasury shares. The annual high was reached on July 17, 2025, with a closing price of EUR 39.50. With a year-to-date performance of over 100 percent the PALFINGER share was included in the “Club 100” of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The beginning of August introduced an increasingly volatile outlook for the core European markets, further exacerbated by US tariffs, in particular Section 232, which impacted the further share price development.

 

The PALFINGER share ended the stock market year on December 30, 2025, with a closing price of EUR 33.35, corresponding to an annual gain of 69.5 percent. The ATX ended the stock market year with a gain of 45.4 percent. In December, the Þnancial magazine Börsianer ranked PALFINGER as the third top performer in the Small Caps category.
