Rheinmetall's revenues increased by 3% after the company announced a sales estimate of 50 billion euros by 2030, due to increased demand for armaments.

Rheinmetall's shares have recorded an increase of approximately 3% after the German arms manufacturer announced to investors that it expects significant expansion in sales over the next five years, driven by increased demand for weapon systems in the context of geopolitical tensions and the war in Ukraine. The company estimates sales of 50 billion euros by 2030, compared to 10 billion euros in 2024, with most of the revenue coming from military vehicle and weapon divisions. Rheinmetall also anticipates an increase in operational margin to 20% by 2030.

The increase in defense budgets in Europe, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, contributes to this expansion, with NATO setting a spending target of 5% of GDP by 2035. Rheinmetall's revenues have nearly doubled in the last three years, and shares have risen by 190% in 2025 and by 900% in the last three years. The company has also announced a major reorganization, creating divisions for naval and air defense, which could generate between 8 and 9 billion euros by 2030. CEO Armin Papperger mentioned that the naval division could become operational in January, and acquisitions, such as the takeover of Lürssen Group, could further support growth.
