Hensoldt (DE000HAG0005) trades sharply lower on Xetra on Thursday. The German defense electronics specialist continues to feel the impact of the cancelled F126 frigate program by Germany’s Defense Ministry, which had included Hensoldt as primary radar supplier, as reported by Investing.com.
F126 cancellation weighs on sentiment
According to an Investing.com analysis of today’s move, Hensoldt shares are sliding after Berlin officially ended the troubled F126 frigate program. The company had been designated to supply radar and sensor systems for six planned naval vessels, representing a meaningful contribution to the expected order pipeline.
The report highlights that the loss of the F126 radar contract is a key overhang for the stock, coming on top of technical selling pressure and a newly disclosed short position by hedge fund Arrowstreet Capital. At the same time, Hensoldt chief executive Oliver Dörre recently bought roughly 2,500 shares in the market on 22 June in a show of confidence, as noted in the same market commentary.
Defense peers also under pressure
Sector data compiled by MarketScreener show that European defense stocks, including Rheinmetall, have extended recent losses this week, with a dpa-AFX summary citing the cancelled warship project as a drag on sentiment for German defense names. MarketScreener’s overview of Hensoldt and its peers notes that the group trades in the DAXsector Industrial Performance-Index alongside other defense-linked industrials such as Rheinmetall.
Realtime data from finanzen.net show Hensoldt shares at around 64.20 euros on Xetra early Thursday afternoon, a decline of more than 6 percent versus the previous close at 68.50 euros. Finanzen.net’s realtime quote indicates bid and ask levels near 64.16 and 64.20 euros respectively at 13:49, underlining the marked pullback following the F126 decision.
