Wienerberger AG (WIE) Stock Price, Fundamentals & Analysis

Wienerberger AG (WIE) is an Austrian building materials company headquartered in Vienna and listed on the Wiener Börse. Founded in 1819, it produces clay blocks, facing bricks, roof tiles, and ceramic pavers, and supplies wall, facade, and roof systems for single-family, two-family, and multi-family homes as well as non-residential construction. The company also makes pipe systems for energy transport, drinking water and wastewater, plus solutions for rainwater management, irrigation, and water storage. It employs around 20,941 people across Europe West, Europe East, and North America.

What WIE does

Wienerberger operates in the Basic Materials sector, specifically the Building Materials industry. Its core business is ceramic building products — the bricks and roof tiles used in residential and commercial construction — complemented by engineering services for buildings and infrastructure products such as freshwater, stormwater, and wastewater systems. Because its products are tied to construction activity, the company's results tend to follow the building cycle in its markets. Investors comparing it with regional peers may also look at companies like Voestalpine AG (VOE) in Austrian industry or Chimcomplex Borzesti SA Onesti (CRC) in the chemicals space.

Key numbers explained

• Market cap of 1.89B EUR — the total value of all shares; this places WIE among mid-sized European listed companies.
• P/E ratio of 30.9 (trailing) means the share price equals about 31 times the last twelve months of earnings per share of 0.56 EUR; the forward P/E of 10.7 is based on expected earnings instead.
• Dividend yield of 5.49% indicates the annual dividend as a percentage of the share price, with the ex-dividend date on May 12, 2026.
• 170% of earnings paid out as dividends means the payout exceeds reported profit, which readers typically note as a sustainability question.
• Price-to-book of 0.68 means the share trades below the accounting value of its net assets.
• 52-week range of 17.04 – 31.22 EUR and a -37% change over the last year show a substantial price decline; the current price is 17.3 EUR, up +1.53% today.
• Debt-to-equity of 95.1% and a beta of 1.2 indicate meaningful leverage and somewhat higher volatility than the market.
• Revenue of 4.65B EUR grew 13% year over year, while profit margin is 1.3% and return on equity is 2.2%.

What to watch

As a building materials stock, WIE is generally sensitive to construction demand, interest rate environments, and infrastructure spending in Europe and North America. Margins are currently thin (1.3% profit margin, 4.7% operating margin), so cost developments in energy and raw materials are relevant factors. The gap between the trailing P/E of 30.9 and the forward P/E of 10.7 reflects expected earnings changes, which investors typically track around earnings dates — the next one is Nov 12, 2026. Leverage (95.1% debt-to-equity) and the dividend payout above earnings (170%) are also commonly monitored items. For broader market context, the stock trades on the ATX home market, and peers such as Air Liquide (AI) illustrate how European industrial names are often compared.
