This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

Fresenius Medical Care AG has 3 quarters of declared dividends on file, too few for a 12-month total. The most recent declaration was $1.49 for Dec 2025.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Fresenius Medical Care AG declared a dividend in 3 of the last 12 reported quarters, most recently $1.49 for Dec 2025. That is fewer than four quarters, so no 12-month total is shown.

Fresenius Medical Care AG is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Fresenius Medical Care AG earned $218 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −3.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $978 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 0.2% a year on average. That is 4.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $225 M.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY25 profit was $978 M (+81.9% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +1.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.6 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +98.1% and revenue −0.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

Fresenius Medical Care AG reported $4.9 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +1.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 2.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $19.6 B. The last four reported quarters add to $19.4 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY25 revenue was $19.6 B, +1.5% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −0.4% on average, against 2.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −0.5%, against +0.0% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +42.9%, against +33.0% a year (accelerating).

Fresenius Medical Care AG's operating margin was 10.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.6 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 7.8% and 10.8%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +2.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.7 points. So the gain came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged.

Over the last 3 years, 382% of Fresenius Medical Care AG's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $2.7 B of operating cash against $978 M of profit. After $915 M of spending on assets, $1.8 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Fresenius Medical Care AG does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $2.3 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.9% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $2.3 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Fresenius Medical Care AG's P/E is 13.7×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +83.6% while the price moved −3.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range.

Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +10.0% a year; about +29.5% a year came from earnings growth and about −19.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple.

In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

Fresenius Medical Care AG's business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 8.0% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

Fresenius Medical Care AG earned a ROE of 7% in FY25. That is up from a low of 3% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.8 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 5.0% net margin and 0.63× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 5.0% net margin × 0.63× asset turnover × 2.17× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 6.8% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it.

The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 6.5% − 5.7% = +0.8 percentage points. The 5.7% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error.
