Volkswagen AG (OTCMKTS: VWAGY ) announced earlier this month that it will spin off shares of Porsche in an Initial Public Offering ( IPO ). An IPO is when a private corporation offers shares of a stock to the public in a new stock issuance for the first time. It allows a company to raise equity capital from public investors. And Volkswagen, the largest shareholder in Porsche, priced the IPO at the top of its targeted range, putting the IPO on track to become one of the biggest public offerings in Europe ever. Well, folks, shares of Porsche debuted this past Thursday, September 29, on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Volkswagen offered 911 million shares in a nod to Porsche’s famous 911 model. In today’s Market 360, we’ll look at the details of the Porsche IPO and how it could help Volkswagen pull ahead in the EV race… Porsche’s IPO Hits the Market Priced originally at 82.50 euros, the stock rose 5% in the late morning, peaking at 86.76 euros. However, it began losing slight gains throughout the trading day, and closed at 82.52 euros, still up 2 cents from the expected IPO price.
By Victoria Waldersee and Emma-Victoria Farr FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Porsche AG shares had a see-saw start on Thursday, after Volkswagen defied volatile markets to list the sports car brand at a valuation of 75 billion euros ($72 billion) in Germany''s second-biggest market debut. The shares closed at 82.50 euros ($80.74), returning to their issue price from the session high of 86.76 euros. Volkswagen priced Porsche AG shares the top end of the indicated range, and raised 19.5 billion euros via the listing to fund the group''s electrification drive. Cornerstone investors including Qatar Investment Authority, T. Rowe Price, Norway''s sovereign wealth fund and Abu Dhabi''s laid claim to 40% of the share offering. Some 25% plus one ordinary share went to the Porsche and Piech families via Porsche SE, Volkswagen''s largest shareholder which now has a blocking minority on the sportscar brand. The shares peaked at 86.76 in late morning. The share performance puts Porsche AG''s valuation at about 75.
FRANKFURT, Germany: Luxury sports carmaker Porsche raced onto the Frankfurt stock exchange on Thursday with one of Europe''s biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) in years, leveraging its brand power to defy global market turmoil. Its shares rose to 84 euros ($81) at the start of trading, bettering the 82.50-euro price set by its parent company Volkswagen and outperforming a weak Frankfurt market. Even as markets worldwide suffer from surging inflation and mounting recession fears, the maker of the 911 sports car has pushed ahead with the bold flotation that gives Porsche a valuation of more than 76 billion euros. "This is a historic moment for Porsche," said Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume, also the chief of the wider Volkswagen Group. "Fulfilling the dreams of our customers is what drives us… With the completion of the listing, we are opening a new chapter in the history of our company." Volkswagen is set to raise 9.4 billion euros ($9.2 billion) from the listing, with some of the cash to be plowed into the group''s high-speed drive toward electric vehicles.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Shares in luxury carmaker Porsche AG rose on their first day of public trading after German parent company Volkswagen raised 9.4 billion euros ($9.1 billion) for one of the largest initial public offerings in European history . Shares traded at 85.68 euros on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on Thursday, above the initial offering price of 82.50 euros established Wednesday after Volkswagen lined up investors to buy shares for a minority stake in the maker of the 911 sports car and Cayenne SUV. Volkswagen plans to use use the money to invest in software and electric vehicles as global auto industry shifts its focus to the energy transition . The IPO was a venture into turbulent markets , as the war in Ukraine, inflation, rising interest rates and a global energy crunch have raised fears of recession in major economies such as Europe and the U.S. Europe’s Stoxx 600 index last week fell into bear market territory. Still, investors snapped up the shares at the top end of the initial offer range, attracted by Porsche’s strong profit margins and recession-resistant luxury business.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Volkswagen was nearing the finish line Wednesday as it readied the sale of shares in luxury carmaker Porsche ahead of an expected market listing that will rank among the largest such offerings in European history. The German automaker estimates the deal could reap as much as 9.5 billion euros ($9.08 billion) that it can use for its push into software, services and electric and autonomous vehicles in line with the shifting focus of the global auto industry. Volkswagen on Wednesday was expected to complete the process of lining up investors and determining the final share price, which requires a decision of its board of directors, before the listing Thursday. The deal enables Volkswagen to tap into investor interest in Porsche, whose fat profit margins of 15% to 20% on vehicles like the 911 sports car and Cayenne SUV are far above the single-digit profits common to mass-market automobiles. The proceeds will help pay for Volkswagen’s “massive” investments in revamping factories and research and development, said Christian Stadler, professor of strategic management at Warwick Business School. “They need money, and electrification is super expensive,” Stadler said. “And when we look ahead, it’s getting more and more expensive to simply borrow money” as interest rates rise.
European markets are primed for the hotly anticipated Porsche initial public offering following news that Volkswagen is targeting a €75bn valuation upon its debut. Landing on the Frankfurt stock exchange on the 29th September, the stock’s flotation is set to be a major test for a continent that’s struggled in the wake of record-breaking inflation and the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine. With the likes of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan and other leading financial institutions backing Porsche, the company’s debut is certain to be closely scrutinized throughout Europe for indications of new investor confidence. Despite widespread market volatility, Porsche’s push to go public coincides with its parent company, Volkswagen Group’s mounting ambitions to expand into the electric vehicle space. Following on from the successful launch of its ID.4 EV and Porsche Taycan models, an IPO is likely to be an excellent opportunity to secure funding to grow the production of more EVs. ( Image: Statista ) With Porsche’s revenue almost tripling in the space of 10 years - in spite of the pandemic conditions of 2020 and 2021 - the prospect of a listing for a company earning in excess of EUR 30 billion is likely to be tantalizing for many investors. “Porsche’s IPO could be one of the most interesting offerings ever,” said Maxim Manturov, head of investment advice at Freedom Finance Europe. “Unofficial information suggests that Porsche has already attracted the attention of investors and received pre-orders at valuations ranging from €60bn to €85bn.
Reuters Volkswagen Eyes Juicy Valuations For Porsche IPO Volkswagen AG (OTC: VWAGY ) targeted a valuation of up to €75 billion ($75.1 billion) for luxury sportscar maker Porsche. Volkswagen will split shares equally into preferred and ordinary shares. Trading will begin on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on September 29. The sovereign wealth funds of Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and Norway and mutual fund company T. Rowe Price will subscribe as cornerstone investors. Volkswagen will propose to pay 49% of the total proceeds to shareholders in early 2023 as a special dividend.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Volkswagen has set the price range for the multibillion-euro sale of a minority stake in luxury brand Porsche as its prepares an initial public offering to fund VW’s investments in new technologies and businesses including electric cars, software and services. The German automaker said it aims for a listing on the Frankfurt stock exchange on Sept. 29 after it places up to 25% of non-voting preferred shares in Porsche AG, maker of the 911 sports car and Cayenne SUV, with investors. The Qatar Investment Authority has committed to acquire 4.99%, with smaller stakes going to Norges Bank Investment, T. Rowe Price and ADQ. The price range per preferred share was set at 76.50 euros (dollars) to 82.50 euros, which translates to 8.71 billion to 9.39 billion euros. Porsche’s share capital has been split into 50% preferred and 50% ordinary shares, so that the IPO stake represents 12.5% of the company. The deal also includes the sale of 25% plus one share of ordinary shares at a 7.5% premium to Porsche Automobil Holding SE, Volkswagen’s controlling shareholder representing the Porsche and Piech families.

Anti-Green Blowback: T. Rowe Says "Increasing Difficult To Find Credible" ESG Bonds Some money managers are waking up to Wall Street''s ESG scam meant for green-minded investors who pretended to care about the environment but had found a quick and efficient way of fast-tracking gains. We''ve called this scam out during the ESG boom days early in the pandemic (see from Feb 2020 " Behold The "Green" Scam " and from April 2020 " The Fraud That Is ESG Strikes Again: Six Of Top 10 ESG Funds Underperform The S&P500 " ). Now Matt Lawton, T. Rowe Price Group Inc.''s sector portfolio manager in the Fixed Income Division, has come out in an interview, slamming sustainability-linked bonds, or SLBs. He said these green corporate bonds are examples of the most "egregious behavior" by Wall Street banks and companies who take advantage of skyrocketing demand for green investments. "It''s becoming increasingly difficult to find credible SLBs ," Lawton said in an interview quoted by Bloomberg . "The banks are pitching these structures really hard so I definitely approach them with a healthy degree of skepticism ." Companies have been rushing to issue SLBs to exploit cheaper borrowing costs due to the high velocity of money flowing into ESG investment funds.
If you’re looking for dividend stocks to buy and hold forever, a good place to start is companies that have done an excellent job increasing their dividends and are expected to keep doing so in the future. While the first place to look for such names should logically be a list of S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, I widened the search to the S&P 1500 . That way, I had three times more stocks to choose from, giving me a much better chance of finding special dividend stocks that deliver income and capital appreciation. From Dec. 31, 1999, to Dec. 31, 2018, the average S&P 1500 stock had a dividend yield of 1.8% . All of the stocks included in this column have yields that meet or exceed that level. In addition, all of the companies have solid balance sheets. To make things even more interesting, I’ll select only the stocks of companies whose net debt is less than $5 billion. I’m confident that, after five years, these dividend stocks to buy and hold forever will be very profitable for investors who purchase them now.

Among the lowest-priced investing options this fall are small cap stocks – often defined as companies whose total market capitalization (stock price times number of shares) runs from $300 million to $2 billion. The Russell 2000, an index that tracks the 2,000 smallest public companies, was trading at a price-to-earnings ratio, based on estimated earnings, ranging from 15 to 20 this summer, the lowest range in more than a decade. That discount is one big reason Ed Clissold, Chief U.S. Strategist for Ned Davis Research, turned bullish on small caps this summer. “Small-caps could be in the early stages of a multi-year run of outperformance,” he says. History is certainly encouraging. The sector strongly outperformed the last time small cap stock prices were so low – in the run up to the 2001 recession. If you bought a fund tracking the Russell 2000 index around the March 2001 start of that recession, by March of 2005 you’d have gained a cumulative total return of 42%. The large cap Russell 1000 index had only started recouping its losses by then and was up just 6%.

This looks like a wonderful time for investors looking for hot growth stocks with very strong outlooks. I believe that the market is really starting to internalize the concept that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is anything but super-hawkish on interest rates and that the economy is well-positioned for a “soft landing.” There are two main reasons for my optimism. First, in the last month, the stock market in general and growth stocks, in particular, have performed very well. Secondly bullish statements made earlier this month by the very successful, veteran investor Ed Yardeni make me think hot growth stocks are about to get a lot more attractive. On Aug. 1, Yardeni noted that there have been multiple signs that inflation is easing. And he added that the central bank may already have raised rates to a neutral level. Consequently, the Fed could hike rates one more time in September before taking its foot off the brake, causing the economy to have a soft landing, Yardeni said. It appears that many large investors are realizing that this scenario is likely and that, as a result, growth stocks are starting to take off.

An acclaimed investor, Dalio founded the hedge fund in 1975. Today, the fund manages more than $23 billion in 13F securities and over $235 billion in total assets under management. Bridgewater also operates as a medium- to long-term investor, holding stocks in its portfolio for an average of 4.75 quarters. Rivian reported Q2 earnings earlier this month and maintained its full-year production guidance of 25,000 electric vehicles (EVs). During the period, revenue clocked in at $364 million as well. That beat the analyst estimate of $337.5 million by nearly 8%. The revenue was attributable to the delivery of 4,467 vehicles. Lastly, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) tallied in at a loss of $1.62, beating the analyst estimate by 1 cent. With that in mind, let’s get into the details of Dalio’s recent RIVN stock purchase.

Mutual funds offer a lot of advantages to investors, particularly for retail investors who may have limited time, a low appetite for risk and only a passing knowledge of how the stock market works. People wanting to put away their hard-earned money for retirement often choose these, as they give exposure to a large bundle of stocks that provide a greater margin of safety than individual stocks.

Investors have fewer deep value stocks to pick from after the latest rally. Retail investors had enough of the bear market by late June when the S&P 500 bottomed at below 3700. From there, the index rose for several consecutive days. Each pullback ended quickly as more buyers bid stocks higher. Fearful investors who waited for a stock market crash missed out. In the last two months, the summer rebound erased the technical bear stock market. Income investors need not time the market as traders do. High total returns are a sum of dividend income yield and capital gains from stocks. Deep value stocks that fell during the quarterly earnings season are especially attractive. They offer an even higher yield and lower risk. Some stocks are on sale because impatient investors do not want to wait for the business to turn around.

Bonds have been behaving badly. But the fixed-income market''s comeuppance is a good thing for investors looking for better value and more income from their bond funds. Historically, bonds have offered shelter for portfolios when financial storms touch down on Wall Street. But bonds have not been a haven this year in the grip of surging inflation and fast-rising interest rates. Instead, fixed-income assets ranging from U.S. Treasuries to higher-yielding "junk bonds" have logged double-digit-percentage losses resembling declines suffered by more-volatile stocks.

The bear market in 2022 has provided opportunities to buy solid companies at a discount. Fears about a recession and rising interest rates have punished equities. Although this is painful for existing buy-and-hold shareholders, investors can take this opportunity to add to holdings or start new positions. Some investors are taking this opportunity to purchase growth stocks, but many people are already overweight on these stocks. Additionally, those seeking income must look elsewhere; stocks like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG , NASDAQ: GOOGL ), parent company of Google, do not pay dividends yet. Consequently, I screened for stocks in bear market territory with a yield of more than 3.5%, a payout ratio of less than 65%, and that have increased the dividend for 10-plus years.

SoFi (NASDAQ: SOFI ) has been in full focus this week after shareholders voted to give the board discretionary authority to enact a reverse stock split over the next 12 months. The fintech company provided three main reasons for the reverse split. First, an increased stock price could make SOFI more attractive to brokerage firms and institutional investors. In addition, an increased price could warrant more analyst coverage. Secondly, a higher stock price could improve the view of SoFi as an investment. The company notes that many investors are wary of lower-priced stocks and categorize them as “risky and speculative.” Lastly, a reverse stock split could attract more talent and partnerships. Some potential employees and partners may view SoFi’s low stock price as a sign that the company is not financially healthy. However, the company notes that it is in fact financially healthy, so an increased stock price could line up perceptions of the company.
