Proposed dividend of €1.01 per preferred share

Porsche will have its largest (in terms of market capitalization) IPO in Europe on September 29, 2022.

AndIt was included in the DAX index shortly thereafter, 81 days later.I am very proud of

• Share price rises from offer price of €82.50 to €114 (as of February 28, 2023)
• This equates to a market capitalization of €108 billion
• Earnings per ordinary share of €5.43 and earnings per preferred share of €5.44 in 2022
• For the 2022 fiscal year, the board will consider paying a dividend of 911 million euros to the annual general meeting → This is "911 million euros" in English. 911^^

Porsche's medium- and long-term goals

• This guidance is based on Group sales in the range of approximately €40 billion to €42 billion

Porsche's 2023 fiscal year

• Porsche has two reasons to celebrate in 2023

• And the other is the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911
• In June, he will compete in the 100th anniversary race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a newly developed Porsche 963.

Porsche will continue to switch to "higher gear" from now on.

The above was the annual report for 2023, which was a brief summary.

In response to this announcement, I can roughly imagine that it will be possible to increase the number of options that can be personalized and review the price range (price increase?). I'm happy to be able to personalize it to my liking, but I guess it's going to be expensive.

It seems that they will also focus on issuing limited cars, but I hope that they will not lower the value of the Porsche limited model name by releasing too many models named limited cars.

Of course, I think it's good to have a limited model that has a high rarity value and can only be obtained by a limited number of people, but since it's a wonderful Porsche, I would like more people to experience the wonderful performance of Porsche. I also think ^^
