In our DACH Capital Market Study (December 31, 2021), we analyze the relevant parameters to calculate the costs of capital based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (risk-free rate, market risk premium and beta). Additionally, we determine implied as well as historical market and sector returns. Moreover, this study includes capital structure-adjusted implied sector returns, which serve as an indicator for theunlevered cost of equity.
