OHB SE Joins SDAX Amidst Industry Boom

OHB SE has been added to the SDAX for the first time, replacing Klöckner & Co SE. This inclusion highlights the company's growth and the rising significance of the European space and defense sector. CEO Marco Fuchs notes the milestone enhances OHB's visibility in the capital market, reflecting shareholder trust.

The space industry is experiencing rapid expansion due to geopolitical shifts and increased defense budgets, contributing to OHB's dynamic growth. Recently, OHB completed a capital increase of EUR 484 million to expand manufacturing and invest in future programs, raising its free float to 18% while the Fuchs family retains majority ownership.

OHB aims to bolster its role in Europe's space technology arena and capitalize on rising sector investments. The company anticipates an operating performance of EUR 1,400 million in 2026 and aims for over EUR 4.0 billion mid-term. The EBITDA margin is expected to grow from 10.5%-11.0% to 13%.
