Word of Porsche going public has been circulating for quite a while now, but back in November, we learned that the whole idea was being put on hold. Now, three months and an invasion of the start of another war, and here we are talking about a Porsche IPO once again. This time, however, it seems as if it may be closer than we all expected.

Porsche IPO Talks in the Advanced Stage

In mid-February, the Volkswagen Group announced that discussions about a Porsche IPO were at an advanced stage. But why is such a move the right move for both Porsche and VAG? Well, the VW group wants to expand its electric portfolio, while also building new technology. And Porsche will benefit from this too. Now, it’s believed that a Porsche IPO could be valued at anywhere between $50 or $100 billion, and with its own benefit in mind, Oliver Blume, the chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, is very open to the idea.

Porsche AG didn’t have anything else to say about the potential IPO, but if talks are in the advanced stages, there’s a good chance we’ll be hearing more about it before the middle of 2022. And, it’s a good thing, too, as VW Group CEO, Herbert Diess, aims for VAG to be worth €200 billion, and if the Porsche IPO really happens, it could go long way toward making that happen. The question now is how will Porsche enthusiasts feel about it, and just how much will it cost you to buy up a stock or two for yourself?
