Dramatic fall in world trade leads to slump in logistics stocks
Last year’s downward stock market trend continued in the first quarter of 2009. The DAX lost 15.1% of its value since the beginning of the year, and the EURO STOXX 50 fell by 15.5%. Early cyclicals such as transport sector stocks suffered in general, with our stock being particularly hard hit. Initially, Deutsche Post shares significantly underperformed the DAX, though they recovered somewhat midway through the first quarter. After we announced our dividend proposal for 2008 at the end of February, our shares dropped to a record low of €6.65 on 9 March 2009. Our stock closed the first quarter down 31.9%. Average daily trading volumes decreased by 15.3% to approximately 6.6 million shares.
