Which company owns the luxury electric-car brand Porsche after its 2022 stock-market listing?

Volkswagen Group owns the luxury electric-car brand Porsche after Porsche AG’s 2022 stock-market listing.

Porsche AG, the sports-car manufacturer, was listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in September 2022. Volkswagen Group remained the controlling shareholder, so the public listing did not make Porsche independent of the Volkswagen group structure.

Porsche is often confused with Porsche SE. Porsche AG designs and manufactures vehicles, while Porsche SE is a holding company controlled by the Porsche and Piëch families. Porsche SE holds a major voting stake in Volkswagen Group. These related names represent different legal entities.

Volkswagen Group owns or controls a broad portfolio of automotive brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche. Its scale, global production network, and many brands make it one of the world’s largest automobile groups. Porsche’s listing was one of Europe’s largest initial public offerings in 2022 and gave investors a separately traded way to buy shares in the sports-car business.
