The Austrian stock index ATX recently reached a new high of 5,000.70 points, surpassing its previous record from 2007. This remarkable development is supported by optimistic investor sentiment in Europe and continued strong performance on Wall Street. Hopes for a possible end to the Ukraine conflict are also contributing to market enthusiasm.
Since the beginning of the year, the ATX has recorded an impressive increase of around 36 percent, which puts it at the top in an international comparison. In contrast, the German DAX and the Eurozone leading index grew significantly weaker, with increases of 19 and 15.5 percent respectively. Even the major US indices, which have frequently reached record highs this year, are lagging behind the performance of the ATX.
A key factor in the success of the ATX is the renewed interest in European small and medium-sized companies. The uncertainties in US tariff policy and the associated risks are weighing on the US dollar, which is prompting investors to invest more in European stocks. Austria’s strong ties to the high-growth Eastern European markets also create an advantageous environment for domestic companies.
Companies such as Voestalpine, Strabag and Porr are particularly benefiting from this development and have increasingly become the focus of investors. The high weighting of bank stocks in the ATX also supports the positive development, as European financial institutions benefit from a normal interest rate environment. The price gains of the banks Bawag, Erste Group and RBI, which range between 43 and 79 percent, are particularly pleasing.
However, the leaders in the ATX are AT&S shares, which have risen by an impressive 156 percent since the beginning of the year. The circuit board manufacturer benefits from its role as a supplier in the chip industry and can assert itself through its strong position in the geopolitically relevant market for IC substrates.
