H&R share: Decision day with explosive power

Today, the final curtain falls on one of the most spectacular takeover battles in German mid-sized companies. Following the successful acquisition offer by major shareholder Nils Hansen, the financial settlement of the deal is imminent—and thus setting the course for the future of H&R shares. Will there be a complete delisting from the stock market?

The numbers speak for themselves: With the acceptance of nearly 2.95 million shares, H&R Holding GmbH now takes over a controlling 77.54 percent of the shares. This massive shift in ownership not only gives Nils Hansen an absolute majority but also the opportunity to initiate radical measures.

The key facts at a glance: – Shares acquired: 2,949,150 shares – New participation rate: 77.54%

– Completion of the transaction: Today, September 4, 2025

Delisting as the next goal?

It's already clear: the journey may not be over for the remaining shareholders. The bidder has announced that it is considering a delisting or squeeze-out. The reason? The necessary transformation of the refinery sites is apparently to take place without the pressure of the public stock market environment.

What does this mean for investors? Such a move would fundamentally change the tradability of the stock and potentially mark the final exit point for free-float shareholders.

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it still worth investing in H&R ?

Price performance under the microscope

The markets have already anticipated this development. The share price is trading just below its 52-week high of €5.04 – a sign that investors have fully priced in the takeover offer. Since the beginning of the year, the stock has gained a remarkable 40 percent.

But the real question is: What comes after the deal is closed? Today's settlement could signal the start of the next phase of this company's history—a phase that could take place behind closed doors.
