GERMAN BOURSE IS EUROPE'S HIDDEN CHAMPION, DEUTSCHE BANK SAYS
Germany's stock market is a hidden champion in Europe, at least according to Deutsche Bank who made the claim in a Monday note going through the state of play for embattled European bourses.
The troubles for fragmented European stock markets are well known - a substantial and growing valuation gap to the U.S., IPO numbers and volumes declining and sluggish trading volumes.
Germany is certainly part of that and has fewer listed companies relative to its population than the other major European markets.
But the German investment bank says there are a few reasons for a positive view on the German stock market.
Since 2007 the DAX .GDAXI has returned nearly 6% per year in nominal terms, more than French, British Spanish or Italian blue chip benchmarks, despite German corporate taxes being higher.
The German market is more liquid than many other European countries.
German IPO volumes have remained steady while falling in other major EU markets, and it ranks second in Europe behind London with 59 billion euros raised since 2013.
Price/earnings ratios in Germany are higher than in most European markets - though below the Netherlands and substantially lower than the U.S.
"Overall, it is a hidden European champion, in our view", Deutsche Bank concludes.
