The ongoing tense economic situation is causing problems and a slump in demand for many companies. Bechtle Logistik & Service GmbH has now responded.
The ongoing tense economic situation is causing problems and a slump in demand for many companies. Bechtle Logistik & Service GmbH has now reacted by putting around 300 employees on short-time working, as reported by Channelpartner. The weekly working hours of the employees will be reduced by 20 percent. Salary losses would only be minimal, as Bechtle has voluntarily increased salaries. This is an important measure to secure the jobs of the employees.
The IT service provider Bechtle recorded a decline in earnings last year. The company announced in February that pre-tax profit for 2024 had shrunk by around eight percent year-on-year to around 345 million euros. The corresponding margin was 5.5 percent after 5.8 percent.

According to "Welt", companies active in construction, rail infrastructure, digitalization and the energy industry are considered to be beneficiaries of the debt pact. So-called green sectors are also likely to benefit.
A few examples:
$FAST (+1.25%) - Fastned
$ACC (-5.82%) - Aker Corp
$IOS (+1.38%) - Ionos
$KTN (+0.05%) - Kontron
$NDX1 (+0.09%) - Nordex
$BC8 (+1.09%) - Bechtle
$VOS (+3.12%) - Vossloh
$S92 (+3.41%) - SMA Solar
Despite all the debt euphoria, however, investors should bear in mind that the infrastructure companies are smaller stocks that are not without risk.

The multi-billion euro package for defense and infrastructure has cleared a decisive hurdle:
After lengthy negotiations, the parliamentary group leaders of the CDU/CSU, SPD and Greens have reached an agreement. The Bundestag could pass the package as early as next Tuesday.
The stock market reacted positively: $RHM (+0.56%) rises by five percent, $SMA records a rise of six percent, $KGX (+3.99%) rises by five percent, $TKA (+1.93%) rises by six percent and $BC8 (+1.09%) and can record an increase of nine percent.
If the Bundestag agrees, the bill still has to go through the Bundesrat. Here, too, a two-thirds majority is required for a resolution.
The negotiations took several days. Friedrich Merz had come a good deal closer to the Greens. On Thursday in the Bundestag, Merz offered to relax the debt brake not only for defense, but also for civil protection, civil defence and intelligence services. He also suggested earmarking part of the infrastructure loans for climate protection. However, the Greens had missed guarantees both for more money for the climate and that climate protection spending would actually increase.
Why is nobody talking about Bechtle?
Bechtle AG is a leading IT system house and e-commerce provider based in Neckarsulm, Germany. The company is active in two main business areas: IT services and solutions (system house business) and IT e-commerce (Bechtle Direct). Bechtle serves a wide range of customers, from medium-sized companies to large corporations, as well as public organizations and institutions.

Part 5 of 5
/ Review of the year 2024: In the first 4 parts
of my investment story, I looked at the years 2013 to 2023.
A mixture of highs and lows. While there was a lot of learning at the beginning, the last few years are finally bearing fruit!
Monthly view:
2024 was another very positive year, although December again resulted in a slight loss in the portfolio.
In total, December was -0,8%. This corresponds to price losses of -3.200€.
The MSCI World (benchmark) was -0.9% and the S&P500 -2.5%.
In the following, however, I would like to look primarily at the whole of 2024 and not
just December.
Year as a whole:
Winners & losers:
The winner par excellence is hardly surprising NVIDIA $NVDA (+3.05%) with
almost €20,000 in share price gains! And this despite the fact that I took my entire stake of ~€4,000 off the table in March.
In 2nd place follows Bitcoin
$BTC (+1.93%) with approx. 6,000€ price gains. 3rd-5th place
are shared by TSMC $TSM (+0.49%)
Alphabet $GOOG (-2.14%) and Meta
$META (-0.31%) with gains of ~€5,000 each.
On the loser side it looks very relaxed all in all.
Sartorius $SRT (-0.27%)
Nike $NKE (-0.86%)
and Bechtle $BC8 (+1.09%) have each caused share price losses of ~€1,000. They are followed by LVMH $MC (-0.49%) with share price losses of €500 and Amgen $AMGN (+0.29%) with €200.
All in all, share price losses that are not really worth mentioning.
The performance-neutral movements in 2024 were just under €20,000. This is a significant decline compared to the almost €30,000 from previous years. This was due to some private issues and the upcoming house construction.
My performance for the year as a whole was +28,8% and therefore outperformed my benchmark, the MSCI World, by 25.8%.
In total, my portfolio currently stands at ~347.000€. This
corresponds to an absolute growth of ~95,000€ in the current
year 2023. ~71.000€ of which comes from price gains, ~3.800€ from
dividends / interest and ~20.000€ from additional investments.
Dividend:
Buys & sells:
- I bought in December for a significantly reduced ~500€
- As always, my savings plans were executed:
- Blue chips: Lockheed Martin $LMT (+1.94%) Republic Services $RSG (+0.28%) Thermo Fisher $TMO (-0.16%) ASML $ASML (+0.05%) Northrop Grumman $NOC (+0.32%) Itochu $8001 (-0.65%) Constellation Software $CSU (-1.21%) Hermes $RMS Salesforce $CRM (+1.09%) MasterCard $MA (-0.47%) Deere $DE (-0.61%)
- Growth: -
- ETFs: MSCI World $XDWD (+0.12%) and the WisdomTree Global Quality Dividend Growth $GGRP (-0.36%)
- Crypto: Bitcoin $BTC (+1.93%) and Ethereum $ETH (+2.37%)
- There were no further sales in December
Target 2024 & outlook 2025:
My goal for 2024 was to reach €300,000 in the portfolio. Due to the
extremely positive market performance in the current year, my portfolio stands at ~€ 350,000 at the end of the year. I was therefore able to significantly exceed my target.
What will happen in 2025? The logical target, of course, would be 400.000€ to be achieved. However, due to the upcoming house construction, part of the assets will be invested in the house construction. If I include the property in my statement of assets, the target of €400,000 would of course not change.
However, as I am more likely to be tracking my liquid assets here, I will probably
probably refrain from doing so.
Therefore, my year-end target for 2025 will probably be closer to the final balance for 2024. So around €350,000 at the end of 2025.
How are things looking for you? Have you already thought about your plans for 2025?
Finally, I wanted to say thank you again for all the positive reactions to my investment story!

Depot review November 2024 - The depot is growing despite larger withdrawals 🚀
Before I continue with the second part of my investment story, I would first like to share my portfolio review for November.
The second half of November was almost quiet compared to what happened at the beginning of November. Trump was elected, triggering a veritable run on the stock markets. Germany was finally freed from the traffic lights and there were also some exciting topics in the private sphere. I sold a few shares back in October to generate the equity I needed to start building a house. This continued a little further in November.
Overall, my savings rate will also (have to) be lower over the next few months. Less into the portfolio and more into the "buffer account" for building the house. Nevertheless, around €500 per month will continue to be invested and this will be pushed up again as quickly as possible.
After selling 6 shares and an ETF in October, I sold parts of my MSCI World ETF for around €13,000.
But now it's finally time to look at the hard figures:
Monthly view:
In total, November was +6,3%. This corresponds to price gains of ~20.000€.
The MSCI World (benchmark) was +7.3% and the S&P500 +5.1%
Winners & losers:
A look at the winners and losers is particularly exciting this month:
On the winning side with a total of almost €5,000 in price gains, my crypto investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is followed by the long runner NVIDIA with price gains of just under €2,000. 4th and 5th place then goes to the cybersecurity sector with Palo Alto Networks and Crowdstrike.
On the loser side looks very quiet this month. Amgen is still the worst performer with losses of ~€600 due to a weight loss drug that failed to fully meet Wall Street's hopes. This is followed by Sartorius with share price losses of €200. Places 3-5 are then occupied by share price losses of less than €100. All in all, a month with almost no losers.
The performance-neutral movements in October amounted to just under € -6,000. Parts have already been removed here for private topics.
current year:
My performance in the current year is +29,9% and thus above my benchmark, the MSCI World with 26.9%.
In total, my portfolio currently stands at ~345.000€. This corresponds to an absolute growth of ~€93,000 in the current year 2023. ~72.000€ of this comes from price gains, ~3.300€ from dividends / interest and ~16.000€ from additional investments.
Dividend:
Buying & selling:
Target 2024 & outlook 2025:
My goal for this year is to reach €300,000 in my portfolio. Due to the extremely positive market performance in the current year, my portfolio already stands at ~€345,000 at the end of November.
As is well known, one should not praise the day before the evening, but I am optimistic that my portfolio will not fall so far in December that I will not reach my target.
What will happen in 2025? The logical goal would of course be to reach €400,000. However, due to the upcoming house construction, part of the assets will be invested in the house construction. If I include the property in my statement of assets, the target of €400,000 would of course not change. However, as I am tracking my liquid assets here, I will probably refrain from doing so.
Therefore, my year-end target for 2025 will probably be closer to the final balance for 2024. So around €350,000 at the end of 2025.
