Development of international indexes
After a restrained 2020, which was strongly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, the stock markets proved rather strong in 2021, despite the ongoing pandemic situation.
The most important barometer of the German stock market, the DAX, rose by 15.8 % over the course of the trading year. The Dow Jones even closed out the year up 27.7 % on a total return basis, i.e., including reinvested dividends.
The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® likewise ended 2021 on a high, up 23.3 %. Only the Japanese Nikkei performed rather weaker, up by just 1.2 %.
T-Share performance
The European telecommunications sector also benefited from the general upturn: The industry’s barometer, the Dow Jones STOXX® Europe 600 Telecommunications, had increased 15.5 % by the end of the year.
In this environment, the T-Share closed the year at EUR 16.30, up by 9.0 %. The lowest price recorded during the year was EUR 14.70 on January 29, 2021, while the highest price of EUR 18.92 was recorded on August 18, 2021.
On a total return basis – and thus comparable with the DAX – our share ended the year 2021 up 12.9 %.
Dividend
The Board of Management and Supervisory Board of Deutsche Telekom AG will propose to the shareholders’ meeting on April 7, 2022 the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.64 per dividend-bearing share.
Shareholder structure
The Federal Republic’s shareholding, including that of Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), decreased from 31.9 % to 30.4 % in 2021. This slight decrease is due to the capital increase carried out through issuance of 225 million new shares in the third quarter of 2021. Deutsche Telekom used the new shares to purchase 45.4 million shares in T‑Mobile US from SoftBank. In return, SoftBank became a shareholder in Deutsche Telekom AG with a stake of 4.5 %. The capital increase was also the main factor behind the slight year-on-year reductions in the proportions of both institutional investors, to 47.7 %, and retail investors, to 17.4 %. As a result, the percentage of shares in free float stands at around 65 % of the share capital.
