REWE Group's broad and resilient positioning as an international group with retail, travel and tourism, and convenience segments proved itself strong. The group operates diverse retail formats including REWE, BILLA, PENNY discount stores, BIPA drugstores, toom DIY stores, convenience stores REWE To Go, and e-commerce activities. The company systematically continued its investment campaign at a high level in 2025, with a volume of 2.5 billion euros.
Cyborg Score Rationale
REWE Group achieved the 100 billion euro revenue milestone for the first time in 2025. Sustained capital investment of 2.5 billion euros in 2025 demonstrates commitment to future growth and modernization. However, EBITA declined to just over 1.5 billion euros in 2025 from nearly 2 billion euros in 2024, reflecting near-term margin pressure from investments and market headwinds.
