The DAX companies

Bonn is home to important and globally active commercial enterprises. This is shown, for example, by an analysis of the market capitalisation of those stock corporations that are listed in the DAX indices (DAX 30, MDAX, TecDAX) and have their headquarters in Bonn. According to the last analysis in May 2019, the combined market capitalisation of the DAX companies Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Post DHL Group was around EUR 106.5 billion (as at 16 May 2019). In terms of stock market value, the German city was ranked third, as in the previous year. This was the result of the ‘Stock Market League 2019’ survey conducted by strategy consultants Simon-Kucher & Partners, which has been carrying out such a ranking since 2005. Munich is the undisputed leader with 13 companies and a stock market value of 296.5 billion euros. The city of Bonn has remained stable in the top 3 in Simon-Kucher & Partners' stock market league for many years and has also been number 1 in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia for many years. Daily stock market portals also continue to confirm Bonn's outstanding position and third place in the hierarchy of German ‘stock market capitals’
