HOCHTIEF has secured a listing in the DAX, Germany's primary leading index. This classification among the 40 largest companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange highlights the group's established market position. Its inclusion in the DAX is to be interpreted as a significant step for the over 150-year-old company, as it increases capital market visibility and underscores its relevance as a globally active infrastructure group.
Juan Santamaría, the CEO of HOCHTIEF, pointed out that the company's activities are primarily located in the growth markets of the infrastructure sector. These markets are essential for long-term economic development. The strategic focus on future markets enables HOCHTIEF to anticipate increased investment demand and thus generate sustainable value for all stakeholders. Its DAX membership forms a solid basis for the company's future development.
Strategic Focus and Global Presence
Mr Santamaría also acknowledged the commitment of the approximately 62,000 employees worldwide as a primary factor for this success. He reaffirmed the intention to continue investing in the workforce and fostering their professional development. This underscores the appreciation of the human factor within the company's strategy.
HOCHTIEF is successively intensifying its activities in general civil engineering and building construction. Particular emphasis is placed on digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, critical raw materials, defence, and energy, including nuclear energy. This diversification reflects adaptation to current and future global requirements and ensures a broad business foundation.
