Development of international indexes

The global stock markets bucked the somewhat sluggish trend of 2018 with significant growth in the 2019 trading year. The stock exchanges remained virtually unaffected by the discussion about rising interest rates at the start of the year, weaker growth outlooks, and ongoing debate surrounding growing levels of protectionism in global trade.

The most important barometer of the German stock market, the DAX, rose by 25.5 percent over the course of the trading year. The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50© also ended 2019 on a high: On a total return basis – i.e., including reinvested dividends – it reported strong growth of 28.2 percent.

Although somewhat weaker, both the Dow Jones and the Nikkei posted double-digit growth of 22.3 percent and 18.2 percent respectively. The 2019 trading year was dominated by investors seeking attractive investment options beyond fixed-interest securities in the sustained low-interest environment.

T-Share performance

Despite the overall positive environment, the development of the European telecommunications sector remained clearly muted. The industry’s barometer, the Dow Jones STOXX® Europe 600 Telecommunications, rose 4.4 percent in the course of the stock market year. Share price performance was adversely affected by regulatory discussions and sustained competition on a number of European markets.

In this environment, the T-Share closed the year at EUR 14.57, down by just 1.2 percent. The lowest price recorded during the year was EUR 14.10 on January 25, 2019, while the highest price of EUR 16.25 was recorded on October 23, 2019.

On a total return basis – and thus comparable with the DAX – our share ended the year 2019 up 3.0 percent.

Dividend

The Board of Management and Supervisory Board of Deutsche Telekom AG will propose to this year’s shareholders’ meeting, to be held on March 26, 2020, the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.60 per dividend-bearing share.

Shareholder structure

The proportion of institutional investors decreased slightly, to 52.0 percent, while the share of investors increased to 16.1 percent. As a result, the percentage of shares in free float remains at around 68 percent of the share capital.
