Since my $DHL (-1.71%) limit for the purchase in August did not work out, the choice was now between $CWC (-0.29%) and $STR (-0.39%)

The Austrian company Strabag confirmed its forecast for the year with the presentation of its half-year figures on Friday (August 30). With construction output of around EUR 19.4 (previous year: 19.1) billion, the EBIT margin is expected to be at least 4%. A figure of 5% was achieved in the previous year, and the margin is set to rise to 6% by 2030.

Overall, however, the figures for the first six months were solid: With construction output virtually unchanged at EUR 8.3 billion and sales down by 2.9%, EBITDA increased by 2.2%. Higher depreciation and amortization caused EBIT to fall by 6.2%. However, this does not worry us any more than the thin EBIT margin of 1.1%, which was at a similar level in the previous year. This is because the majority of profits are generated in the second half of the year.

The 4% increase in the order backlog to a record level of EUR 25.2 billion is very pleasing. According to CEO Clemens Haselsteiner, Strabag already has "good visibility towards 2026". More than half (53%) of the orders come from Germany, while the home market of Austria only accounts for 10%. And the trend is continuing. For example, Strabag was recently awarded the contract to build a highway bridge on the A7 in Hesse.

The Group is also active in Germany in the area of the energy transition, where it is taking on central civil engineering work on the European energy infrastructure project "SuedOstLink", among other things. This major project aims to efficiently transport wind energy from the north and east to the south of Germany. The share (EUR 39.30; AT0000STR1) has been trading sideways for over three years, which is probably also due to the failed sale of the Rasperia share package (see PB of January 12) to RBI.

Strabag, 2025 P/E of 8 and a dividend yield of 5.7%.

Catastrophic figures from $ENR (+2.04%) Siemens Energy - Because of the wind power division, an annual loss of EUR 4.5 billion is expected. The main reason is damage to wind turbines. As a consequence, the company wants to part with certain suppliers.

The excess profits tax from Italy 🇮🇹 is putting pressure on banks throughout Europe today. This is because the Italian government wants to skim off the banks' higher interest income. This is causing uncertainty about similar legislative projects and dragging the sector down.

#deflation instead of inflation in China 🇨🇳. The new data push the markets in Asia into the red on Wednesday. Prices fell by 0.3% compared to the same month last year. Expected were even 0.4%. Nevertheless, the figures did not go down well, because deflation is, like inflation harmful to the economy.

For the first time in 10 years, deposits at Volksbanks and savings banks have fallen. This is good news, because it means that customers are switching to better-interest alternatives. This also puts Volksbanks and savings banks under pressure to finally allow savers to participate in the higher interest rates.

$WE WeWork stands shortly before the insolvency. The share price is plummeting. The only way out would be fresh money. However, commercial real estate is generally not in demand, so the co-working space business is likely to have a hard time.

Inflation in the USA 🇺🇸 rises again slightly to 3.2%. However, 3.3% was expected, so this data should be received positively by the stock market and also provide further impetus.

$CWC (-0.29%) Are there any other Cewe shareholders here? At the beginning of the year, the long-standing CEO Rolf Hollander was rather rudely ousted. In my opinion, Hollander actually did a good job - I am unsure what the change will mean for the company. Perhaps one or the other can say something about the background ...
