VW ($VOW3 (-2.26%)) - Due to shortages of electronic components and semiconductors, VW has to cut back. Despite red figures in the last quarter at Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Skoda and Seat, the group continues to adhere to its annual targets, as the premium brands Porsche and Audi perform comparatively well. Compared with the same period last year, profits from July to September fell 12 percent to 2.8 billion euros. As with most other automakers, the scarce semiconductors are being used where they promise the most return. As a result, the premium brands Audi and Porsche are not feeling the chip shortage as much as the volume brands.
Sanofi ($SNW (+0.36%)) - Business at French pharmaceuticals group Sanofi is going from strength to strength. As a result of the better third quarter, management is once again raising the group's annual targets. Compared to the previous year, sales of 10.4 billion euros were generated, which corresponds to an increase of 10 percent. The neurodermatitis drug Dupixent, as well as over-the-counter medicines and the vaccination business, are driving growth. Profit amounted to 2.3 billion euros, 19 percent more than in the same period of the previous year.

Shiba Inu ($SHIB) - The meme coin has caused a strong stir due to its huge price increase in recent weeks. The coin broke its all-time high again and currently stands at $0.00006743 and a market capitalization of $35.2 billion. For a short time, it even made it to 9th place among the largest cryptocurrencies, overtaking even the legendary Dogecoin. The price of the new meme coin could rise even further as the trading volume could increase even more. The launch of an original $SHIB-NFT series called Shiboshi's could also push the price even higher. These are 10,000 individual pixel images of Shiba-Inus (see image). The cheapest of these NFTs are currently selling on Opensea for the equivalent of $7,480.37.
