Important information on the share, bonds and financial calendar

At the beginning of the reporting period, the BKW share continued its upwards trend of recent years. Its price rose sharply in mid-January, on publication of increased profit expectations for the 2019 financial year. In March, however, BKW’s share price could not escape the downwards trajectory of the overall market as a result of uncertainty surrounding Covid-19. Nevertheless, the publication of the excellent 2019 annual result on 18 March 2020 stopped the negative development of the share and the share price moved up again. After a sustained period of sideways movement during the second quarter of the year, it then recovered steadily. Publication of the strong 2020 half-year results and the simultaneous increase in guidance for the 2020 financial year caused the share price to climb strongly to over CHF 100 in September.

The BKW share closed at CHF 99.20 at the end of 2020. The share’s performance of 39 % in 2020 (SPI: 4 %) represents a very strong development in a financial market situation characterised by uncertainty because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The shares of BKW AG are listed on the main segment of the SIX Swiss Exchange.

The BKW share is included in the Swiss Performance Index (SPI).
