Deutsche Beteiligungs stock was last at EUR 18.96 on Xetra on October 2, 2026, down 0.94 percent from the previous close and equal to its 52-week low. The latest company figures show a busy first half of 2026, but lower valuation multiples reduced net asset value and prompted a forecast adjustment.

NAV falls on valuation multiples

According to Deutsche Beteiligungs AG in its H1 2026 investor-relations information, NAV per share stood at EUR 33.65 on June 30, 2026, compared with EUR 36.37 on December 31, 2025. That EUR 2.72 decline equals 7.5 percent and gives the market value comparison more weight than the transaction count alone.

The same H1 2026 update reported EBITA from fund advisory of EUR 6.8 million, versus EUR 7.1 million in H1 2025. DBAG said the portfolio companies delivered positive contributions to gross valuation and disposal results, while comparable-company multiples created the valuation pressure.

Seven transactions reshape the half year

DBAG reported seven transactions in H1 2026, including three new investments in Hipp Technology Group, Bug Bounty Switzerland and the TNL Group, plus four disposals including duagon and Kraft and Bauer. The company also said it returned EUR 26.1 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks during the period, according to its H1 2026 investor-relations update.

DBAG adjusted its fiscal-year 2026 forecast on July 16, 2026, citing falling valuation multiples among comparable companies. The combination of realized disposals, fresh investments and a lower NAV creates two separate signals: operating activity remains high, while the valuation framework is weighing on reported shareholder value.

Xetra quote equals yearly low

The EUR 18.96 reference price on October 2, 2026 was 28.0 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 26.35. The same session showed a day range of EUR 18.96 to EUR 19.26, volume of 26,257 shares and market capitalization of EUR 337.5 million.

The next scheduled reporting date is November 5, 2026, when DBAG plans to publish its Q3 2026 and nine-month statement with an analyst conference. For investors, the key checkpoint is whether transaction activity can offset the valuation pressure visible in the June NAV and the share price near its yearly floor.
