Ownership Structure

As of December, 31, 2024

The LANXESS stockholder structure predominantly consists of institutional investors pursuing a growth- or value-oriented investment strategy. As of the end of 2024, the percentage of such investors was unchanged at around 92%. The remaining roughly 8% of LANXESS stocks are held by private investors.  

Our investors were mainly based in the U.S., Germany, U.K. and France in 2024. The percentage of U.S. stockholders increased to around 58% (previous year: 52%). Far fewer stocks were held in Germany as of the reporting date and amounted to about 19% (previous year: 22%). The holdings of investors in Great Britain increased again slightly to around 6% (previous year: 4%). They thus are in the range of French investors, whose holdings remained stable at 5%.  

The share of investors from the rest of Europe decreased slightly year-on-year to around 7% (previous year: 10%). In other regions, this share stayed stable at about 5%.   

No governmental institution owns more than 5% of the total voting rights.
