Deutsche Beteiligungs: Q2 out; Software multiple temporarily weigh on NAV - NuWays AG Research

H1 NAV per share came in at € 33.65, down from € 35.29 at Q1 and € 36.37 at year-end 2025 (-5% qoq, -7% ytd), again driven entirely by lower capital markets multiples rather than a deteriorating operational performance of DBAG's portfolio companies. Software, which accounts for 28% of the portfolio, saw 33% lower peer multiples vs June 2025. Adding back the € 1.00 dividend paid in June and the buyback, NAV would have been c. € 35.16. Mind you, in July, DBAG lowered its FY26 NAV per share guidance to € 32-36 (old: € 36-40, eNuW € 34.1); hence no notable valuation step up and/or larger divestments would be needed to meet those targets.

In sum, yesterday's report reads as a confirmation rather than a setback: the portfolio is performing, the fee business is on track, the deal pipeline is active and the NAV development was largely driven by high volatility of the public markets.

BUY with an unchanged € 36 PT based on SOTP (DCF for Fund Services + discount to our NAV per share estimate at year-end).
