Bulls say / Bears say

DWS reached a record €1.19 trillion of assets under management in the first half of 2026, with record total net inflows of €35.8 billion and long-term inflows of €18.2 billion. First-half pre-tax profit rose 16% year on year and net income rose 21%, showing that stronger flows are feeding through to earnings. (DWS, DWS)
DWS has several potential growth channels beyond its existing funds business. It won a mandate to manage a €3 billion to €6 billion pension-reserve fund and is positioning its ETF platform for German pension reform, while its India partnership is intended to build alternative-investment capabilities in a fast-growing market. (DWS, DWS)
Management is targeting 10% to 15% annual EPS growth through 2028 and a cost-income ratio below 55% by 2027. Investors also received a €3 dividend for 2025, with the company highlighting further capital-distribution potential alongside its growth plans. (DWS, DWS)
The second-quarter numbers exposed weaker earnings quality beneath the strong flow figures. Revenue fell 6% quarter on quarter, pre-tax profit fell 19%, and the cost-income ratio rose to 60.5%, above DWS’s 2026 target range, as performance fees normalised and growth-related costs increased. (DWS, MarketScreener)
DWS’s open-ended property funds face continuing valuation and liquidity pressure. By September, its three main funds had been marked down by roughly 5% to 7%, while redemption requests had increased and weak transaction markets could lead to further valuation adjustments. (Süddeutsche Zeitung, IZ)
The strongest recent inflows are concentrated in passive products and cash, where fees are generally lower, while alternatives recorded €0.7 billion of net outflows in the second quarter. The improvement in active-equity flows also depends on continued investment performance, so a slowdown could weaken both the flow momentum and the fee mix. (Yahoo Finance, DWS)
