BayWa's Debt Crisis: Stock Plunges 60% in Eight Days

BayWa, a prominent German enterprise, is grappling with a substantial debt of 5.8 billion euros as of mid-2025. The company has initiated a restructuring plan, including the recent sale of its Austrian Lagerhaus WHG, aiming to reduce debt by up to 100 million euros. Meanwhile, BayWa's stock market value has plummeted by 60% in just eight days, sparking uncertainty among investors and analysts alike.

BayWa's debt situation is the primary cause for the massive sell-off of its stock market shares. The company has hired a restructuring expert to tackle this issue. In addition to selling parts of its portfolio, BayWa is also exploring opportunities in other countries to offset potential revenue losses from US regulatory changes affecting its renewable energy subsidiary. However, analysts from Warburg and Metzler describe BayWa's situation as 'unassessable', reflecting the market's uncertainty.

BÖRSE ONLINE has recommended staying away from BayWa's stock market at the moment, citing the company's operational situation, debt situation, and plans for potential share sales as variables with negative signs.

BayWa's future prospects remain uncertain, with its stock market value losing 60% of its value in just eight days. The company is actively working to reduce its debt and mitigate the impact of US regulatory changes. However, investors should exercise caution, as analysts advise against buying BayWa's stock market shares at present.
