Shares of the German company Thyssenkrupp AG $TKA.DE have significantly surged, reaching a peak not seen in the last four and a half years. This uptick follows announcements regarding plans for an initial public offering (IPO) of its Marine Systems division, which specializes in the production of submarines. Investor interest in this offering is driven by the rising military expenditures across Europe and increasing pressure from the United States on the European Union.
