The price of the Geberit share performed very positively during the trading year. The global economic crisis and the resulting uncertainty on the stock markets initially influenced the Geberit share in the first quarter as well. Starting from a price of CHF 113.10 at the beginning of the year, the stock climbed continuously, particularly in the second half of the year. The Geberit share closed significantly above the relevant indices, seeing growth of 62.2% to CHF 183.50. Primarily responsible for this was the operating business, which was positive despite difficult conditions. The Swiss Performance Index (SPI) rose 23.2% over the same period.
Over the last five years, the average annual increase in the value of the Geberit share was 17.1% (SPI: +5.8%). The Geberit Group’s market capitalization reached CHF 7,518 million at the end of 2009.
