Rheinmetall Stock - Rheinmetall is a leading arms and automotive manufacturer, headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany. Established by Lorenz Zuckermandel in April 1889, the firm initially specialised in the production of steel-based products, as well as armaments. Following the disarmament of the German army after World War I, Rheinmetall AG diversified its services into locomotives and electronics.

However, with World War II on the horizon, Rheinmetall AG returned to its bread and butter of armament and ammunition production in the mid-1930s.

Today, Rheinmetall AG is a company boasting a global workforce of approximately 25,000 staff. In recent decades, Rheinmetall has become a world-renowned development partner for the global automotive sector and a systems designer for the security technology sector. Its most recent focus has been on the sustainability of its operations. The firm has announced bold plans to achieve carbon-neutral status by 2035.

The Rheinmetall share price has been on a steady upward trajectory through the years. In fact, had you purchased Rheinmetall stock from the word go, you’d be staring at a return on investment of around 1,180% to January 2023.

Although Rheinmetall specialises in a host of automotive vehicles and automotive technology today, it continues to specialise in military vehicles and munitions. It was therefore no surprise to see the Rheinmetall share price rise in the mid-2000s to €65.60 in May 2006, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan raged on.

The Rheinmetall share price was hit hard by the global financial crisis, with its shares plunging to €18.34 in November 2008. Since then, it has been on a steadily bullish trajectory. In fact, Rheinmetall AG experienced one of its biggest spikes in the value of its shares in the first quarter of 2022, following the onset of the war in Ukraine. The Rheinmetall share price soared from €90.52 in February 2022 to highs of €217.20 in April 2022. The increasing role of NATO in supporting the Ukrainian war effort has seen defence stocks like Rheinmetall fare strongly.

There are several companies like Rheinmetall that specialise in automotive, defence and security solutions across Europe and beyond. Leonardo SpA is one such competitor, with this public firm having been founded in 1948. Leonardo, headquartered in Rome, Italy, also boasts offices worldwide in Australia, Argentina and many more locations. Its employee base dwarfs Rheinmetall, with over 50,000 staff globally.

Fellow German company ThyssenKrupp AG is also considered a competitor of sorts. A steel and industrial engineering powerhouse, ThyssenKrupp is a multinational conglomerate on the same level as Rheinmetall. Headquartered in Essen, as of 2020 the firm boasted a workforce of more than 103,000. It still operates out of Germany in the cities of Duisburg and Essen.

Dettingen an der Erms-based ElringKlinger AG is another automotive competitor to Rheinmetall AG. Since 1879, ElringKlinger has specialised in the supply and manufacture of head and speciality gaskets and several other crucial components for vehicle engines, exhausts and transmission systems. Today, ElringKlinger operates out of 45 locations worldwide, with a workforce approaching 10,000.
