In the Top Ten since 2001: ElringKlinger excels with 665% share-price growth since 2001 in long-term analysis by “EURO”

The German economy has had to cope with three major crises in the past ten years. Nonetheless, investors have been able to earn high returns on shares in the best companies, in the most cases medium-sized enterprises with a family-owned history, as shown by “EURO,” a German financial magazine.

In the November issue, EURO publishes a survey of the 160 companies in the DAX, MDAX, SDAX and TecDAX indices over the period of 2001 until September 2011. It examined the development of each company’s business, financial statements and share price with a thorough analysis of 2400 key figures.

With an increase of 231% in earnings per share and a 665% rise in its share price, ElringKlinger is among the ten best performers. Only Fuchs Petrolub and Stratec Biomedical posted stronger growth in value.
