Borussia Dortmund Gets Buy Rating from NuWays AG with FIFA CWC 2025 Qualification

NuWays AG has issued a "BUY" recommendation for Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co KGaA, citing the club's recent qualification for the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) 2025 as a significant positive factor. According to the research update, issued on March 11, 2024, Borussia Dortmund's confirmed spot in the upcoming CWC tournament has the potential to enhance the club's revenues and increase its visibility, especially in the U.S. market. The investment firm maintains a target price of €5.50 for Borussia Dortmund's stock.

The analysis notes the importance of Borussia Dortmund's qualification, which came about following RB Leipzig's UEFA Champions League exit. The CWC, set for June to July 2025 in the USA, will include 32 teams from across the globe. Borussia Dortmund's placement in the competition is partly thanks to its ranking in the UEFA Champions League coefficient, positioning it as the 6th placed team eligible for the tournament.

Although specific financial details regarding the CWC prize money have not been officially released, the participation is expected to provide a direct revenue boost and improve the club's negotiating power for media distribution rights. Such developments are anticipated to positively impact the club's merchandise and sponsorship revenues, as well as TV marketing incomes.

NuWays AG's assessment highlights the club's robust performance in the first half of the year, reinforcing the buy recommendation at an unchanged price target, based on a DCF analysis.
