Baader Investment Conference Highlights New Features and Market Outlook

The 13th Baader Investment Conference, held in Munich from September 23 to 26, showcased over 220 companies and attracted more than 800 investors from 26 countries. This year’s event included a half-day ‘IPO Special’ session and a new Trading Forum covering retail, crypto, and bond trading.

With around 3000 one-on-one discussions and over 100 forum presentations, the conference provided a comprehensive platform for investors to engage with companies. Among the attendees were 26 companies listed on the DAX, 41 from Switzerland, and 19 from Austria.

Companies at the conference expressed cautious optimism about current market conditions, pointing to challenges in demand but highlighting their strong positions in growth markets. Many anticipated improved profitability through transformation and efficiency programs.

Most companies remain focused on cash generation and are cautious about new investments. However, their robust liquidity allows for opportunities in selective acquisitions and shareholder distributions, including potential share buybacks.

The next Baader Investment Conference is scheduled for September 22 to 25, 2025, in Munich.
