This year’s study from KPMG includes 276 companies: 216 from Germany, 30 from Austria, and 30 from Switzerland. Among the findings: the average WACC across industries is 7% (same as the past three years); the average risk-free rate increased from 0.9% to 1.3%; and the market risk premium “remains almost stable,” at 6.5% (Germany), 6.7% (Austria), and 5.9% (Switzerland).
