Rheinmetall’s stock plunges 7%—but investors bet on long-term defence strength

Rheinmetall’s stock has taken a sharp hit in recent days, falling by more than 7% on November 21 alone. Despite the drop, investors are stepping in, betting on the company’s long-term strength in defence and new technology partnerships.

The broader stock market remains hesitant, with Frankfurt’s trading opening sluggishly. Yet Rheinmetall’s core business stays robust, as demand for defence systems is expected to hold steady—even if a ceasefire in Ukraine materialises.

The stock price drop has not shaken confidence in Rheinmetall’s future. With steady defence demand and new ventures like the Varjo collaboration, the company’s diversification strategy appears to be gaining traction. Investors are watching closely as the stock market adjusts to short-term fluctuations.
