The Austrian stock market showed a significant increase at the end of the trading session. The ATX index rose by 0.96 percent and reached 4,670.13 points. This positive development was largely driven by the strong performances of OMV and Raiffeisen Bank International. While OMV benefited from increased crude oil prices, Raiffeisen was able to impress with a share price increase of 2.7 percent.
International crude oil prices rose due to new US government sanctions against major Russian oil companies. These measures fueled fears of possible supply problems, which drove up the price of oil. In this environment, the Austrian OMV recorded a price gain of 2.2 percent, while the Lower Austrian oil supplier SBO even recorded an increase of 3.3 percent.
Positive signs also predominated in the banking sector. In addition to Raiffeisen, Erste Group recorded a slight share price increase of 0.5 percent. An exception were the BAWAG securities, which fell by 0.1 percent to 108.2 euros despite a positive rating. Analysts at Deutsche Bank Research nevertheless increased their price target from 117 to 126 euros and reiterated their buy recommendation.
Among the market’s heavyweights, Voestalpine shares fell by one percent, while Andritz rose by 2.4 percent. Technology stocks such as AT&S suffered losses and lost 1.7 percent. In return, the shares of the fiber manufacturer Lenzing rose by an impressive 6.1 percent, and the post office was able to enjoy an increase of 3.9 percent.
In the medium-sized company segment, shares in Steyrs Motors recorded a decline of 2.5 percent in the direct market plus segment. Despite this development, the engine manufacturer is enjoying a continued boom in orders and sales, fueled by geopolitical tensions and a global increase in armaments. The company increased its sales by 15 percent in the first nine months of 2025 and maintains a robust order book of over 300 million euros.
