Share price performance

Deutsche Post shares trail behind the DAX

Our shares had already reached their annual high of €14.46 on 8 January 2010. They then moved downwards in line with the general trend. After we presented our results for 2009 on 9 March 2010, they moved sideways until the Annual General Meeting on 28 April 2010. In this period, the DAX made overall gains but there was scepticism in the market regarding whether our Group would succeed in generating additional profitable growth along with the growth in volume. The price of our shares therefore dropped to their annual low of €11.18 on 7 May 2010. However, we pleasantly surprised the market with our first-quarter figures. Due to a good reporting season, our shares made strong gains against the DAX until the start of August, with the €14 mark nearly being reached at times. After our Capital Markets Day on 23 November, however, Deutsche Post shares declined to their year-end closing price of €12.70 as the DAX continued to rise. Hence, over the year as a whole, our shares lost 5.9% in value. Average trading volumes remained stable at 5.3 million shares (previous year: 5.4 million).
