The grenke share

Performance of the grenke share and indices (January 1 to December 31, 2025)

In 2025, grenke AG’s share price remained volatile amid an overall challenging capital market environment. After opening at EUR 15.66 on January 2, 2025, the share price initially rose, reaching EUR 17.12 on March 12, 2025. Following the release of the annual financial statements and 2025 guidance on March 13, 2025, the shares dropped to EUR 13.90 and subsequently trended sideways. On April 10, 2025, the shares recorded their lowest level for the year at EUR 12.86. At the end of June 2025, the shares began to recover – similar to the SDAX – supported by the publication of the second quarter new business figures on July 3, 2025. This was followed by the shares’ year high of EUR 18.84 on July 28, 2025.
The shares subsequently trended lower, falling to EUR 13.04 by November 19, 2025. This period also included the publication of third-quarter figures and an interpretation of the guidance on November 13, 2025. On November 20, 2025, the share price reversed course, posting gains through to the end of the financial year. On December 30, 2025, grenke shares closed at EUR 15.64, close to the year’s opening price on January 2, 2025. The actual share price change for the full year 2025 was – 0.13 percent.
With a total of 46,495,573 registered shares, the market capitalisation of grenke AG equalled EUR 727 million as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the embedded value (net asset value) amounted to EUR 1,608 million. The embedded value serves as an economic benchmark for valuation  as it encompasses the  equity, as well as the present value of expected future cash flows from the existing business, after costs and risk provisioning. The net asset value per share equals EUR 36.40.

Trading volume for the grenke share (January 1 to December 31, 2025)

In 2025, the average daily trading volume in grenke shares on Xetra was 102,771 shares.
