Shares in Thyssenkrupp's naval-defense business TKMS surged shortly after they started trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at a valuation of around $4.4 billion.

TKMS shares started trading at 60 euros apiece, giving the business a market capitalization of about 3.81 billion euros ($4.44 billion), based on share-count data provided by Deutsche Boerse. Shares quickly jumped above that level, rising as high as 83.99 euros in early exchanges in Europe.

Neither Thyssenkrupp nor TKMS had previously set out an expected valuation for the business, but analysts at Citi had estimated it could be valued at about 3.4 billion euros.

Shares in Thyssenkrupp, which previously said it would retain a 51% stake in TKMS, dropped 23% compared with Friday's close, when it still had full ownership in TKMS.
