Stocking winner Salzgitter: Profit through weapons production in Germany!

Salzgitter, Deutschland - What is happening on the stock exchange in northern Germany? On July 2, 2025, there was an exciting day for many companies. Salzgitter AG, a well -known steel company, could particularly benefit from the planned weapons purchases of the federal government. According to Boerse Social Plant only to write out in Germany what the competitive conditions could improve for domestic companies. Laws of competitors have no suspensive effect, which also simplifies the matter.

On the stock exchange itself there was clear price movements on July 2. The Baader Bank increased by 9.22% and 660% of the normal trading volume were traded. Tomorrow Focus followed with +8.25% and 106% of the volume. Salzgitter was also able to increase an increase of 7.58%. At the same time, Leg Immobilien and Manchester United were under pressure, with a minus of 3.66% and 4.68% respectively. Dialight also fell by 5.17%.

armaments industry in the upswing

The armaments industry is currently experiencing an upswing, and not without reason: the war in Ukraine and the reduction of the US military presence are forcing the German armaments companies to reorganize themselves. These, like Rheinmetall, demand an increase in the production of military steel. The German industry is currently heavily dependent on deliveries from the Swedish manufacturer SSAB. Finanzmarktwelt emphasizes that Salzgitter AG and Dillinger Hüttenwerke are able to close this gap. Salzgitter even plans to conclude contracts with armaments companies in the future.

The political framework is also crucial. The Federal Government has announced that the defense spending on over 60 billion euros in 2025 and almost 70 billion euros in 2026. This could mean a breath for the domestic steel industry to assert itself in the face of the challenges by the Chinese competition.

underfunded Bundeswehr

However, there are also concerns about the financing of the Bundeswehr. The Federal Government tries to fix defects with a special fund, but reality looks different. According to iWd , Germany will also miss the goal of 2% of the gross domestic product for defense expenditure in the coming years. Defense expenditure stagnates at 50.1 billion euros, which is not sufficient in view of the increasing demand.

The challenges should not be underestimated. A shortage of skilled workers and increasing costs, especially energy and fuel, are pressing the military industry. Experts recommend an annual nominal increase in the defense budget by at least 5% to combat this underfunding.
