How to buy Rheinmetall (RHM) shares in the UK

Rheinmetall AG (RHM) may sound like the name of a new, German "Terminator" model, but it's actually one of most imposing defence stocks in Europe right now. Investing and buying shares in Rheinmetall means owning a slice of a European defence stock that's been around since 1889.

In the past, it's been a sturdy stock to own, but recent geopolitical tensions across Europe (and further afield) has led to an explosion in the Rheinmetall share price. It may not be a stock for the faint of heart, but it could certainly be a German stock to keep an eye on.

Alternative ways to invest in Rheinmetall

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Rheinmetall), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Rheinmetall is a major part of the XETRA, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 0.61% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 0.61% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 36.21% of net profits

Rheinmetall has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.61% of its share value annually.

Rheinmetall has paid out, on average, around 36.21% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.61% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.61% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rheinmetall's case, that would currently equate to about 8.1 per share.

While Rheinmetall's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Rheinmetall's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Thales S-A (HO.PA): 1.48% (1.48% forward annual dividend yield)
- BAE Systems (BA.LSE): 2.08% (2.08% forward annual dividend yield)
- Babcock International Group (BAB.LSE): 0.71% (0.71% forward annual dividend yield)
- Rolls-Royce (RR.LSE): (does not pay dividend)
Rheinmetall's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 28 September 1997. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rheinmetall shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rheinmetall shares which in turn could have impacted Rheinmetall's share price.
It's as easy to sell Rheinmetall as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Rheinmetall shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online
2. Go to your portfolio. This should be in the main menu
3. Find your shares. You may be able to search your portfolio
4. Choose how many you'd like to sell. You'll be able to review the price and see how much you'll receive
5. Sell your Rheinmetall shares. Your investment platform will let you know when your shares are sold
