It started well today. The figures were good. The outlook is also good. Unfortunately, my buy in was at €85. If you're still looking for something in the construction sector that isn't already too high. Maybe this is something for you. I think it's a good time. Definitely better than mine. But I didn't notice any of the gains mentioned below 😄
The Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A. share (ISIN: FR0000121501) rises sharply after outstanding results for the fourth quarter of 2025. The building materials giant reports robust demand in Europe and the USA. DACH investors benefit from strong presence in Germany. (ISIN: FR0000121501)

Dr. Elena Hartmann, Chief Analyst Industry & Materials at DACH-Investor, analyzes the latest developments at Saint-Gobain. The figures underline the Group's resilience in a volatile construction industry environment and offer opportunities for long-term investors in German-speaking countries.
