Rheinmetall AG is trading down approximately 3% to €1,233.80 today, a move that comes despite the announcement of significant new orders.
- Romania's Ministry of National Defence announced on June 1 that it signed contracts with Rheinmetall on May 29 for a range of armaments totaling over €4.7 billion.
- The major deal includes 298 infantry fighting vehicles (€3.34B), various anti-drone systems (€982M), and 35mm ammunition (€450M).
- The stock's decline suggests investors may be engaging in profit-taking after a recent strong rally, with the positive contract news possibly already priced in or overshadowed by broader market sentiment.
