$NOVO B (-3.36%)

The Fed's interest rate decision + AMD's quarterly figures + Siemens Healthineers grows strongly + Fresenius also surprises at the start of the year + BMW expects tariff cuts + Quarterly figures from the USA in brief

The Fed's interest rate decision

• Investors are now looking ahead to the next highlight of political significance today, Wednesday: the Fed's interest rate decision.
• Observers are eager to see how the Fed will react to US President Donald Trump's demands to cut interest rates.
• It is expected to resist the political pressure and not adjust its key interest rates.
• In view of Trump's erratic tariff policy, the environment for monetary policy is very uncertain.

Quarterly figures from AMD $AMD (+3.34%)

• Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) reported non-GAAP earnings of $0.96 per diluted share for the first quarter on Tuesday, up from $0.62 a year earlier.
• Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $0.94.
• Revenue for the quarter ended March 29 was $7.44 billion, up from $5.47 billion a year earlier.
• Analysts had expected 7.12 billion US dollars.
• For the second quarter, the chip manufacturer expects sales of between 7.1 and 7.7 billion US dollars.
• Analysts are forecasting 7.22 billion US dollars.
• Advanced Micro shares rose by almost 5% after the close of trading.

Siemens Healthineers $SHL (+0.21%)grows strongly

• The medical technology group Siemens Healthineers grew more strongly than expected in the second quarter (to the end of March).
• Sales rose by 8.7 percent to 5.9 billion euros, as the company announced in Erlangen on Wednesday.
• On a comparable basis, revenue rose by 6.8 percent.
• This excludes currency and portfolio effects.
• The company benefited from good business in imaging and the US cancer specialist Varian.
• Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved by almost a fifth to 982 million euros.
• Savings from the restructuring of the diagnostics business also had a positive impact here.
• For fiscal year 2024/25, however, Siemens Healthineers was more cautious about earnings development due to the US tariffs.
• The company now expects adjusted earnings per share of between €2.20 and €2.50.
• Previously, the Group had forecast the lower end at 2.35 euros per share.
• Healthineers continues to expect comparable sales growth of five to six percent.

Fresenius $FRE (-2.02%)also surprises at the start of the year

• The hospital and pharmaceuticals group Fresenius continued to grow at the start of the year and earned a surprisingly high amount.
• "We have started the year 2025 with an excellent business development and confirm the outlook for the full year," said Group CEO Michael Sen in Bad Homburg on Wednesday.
• Adjusted for one-off effects, turnover climbed by seven percent to 5.63 billion euros in the first quarter compared to the previous year, according to the DAX-listed company.
• Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (adjusted EBIT) increased by four percent to 654 million euros.
• Although the corresponding margin fell from 11.9 to 11.6 percent, Fresenius performed better than analysts had expected on average.
• The ongoing savings program and the core business with the flourishing generics provider Kabi once again provided a tailwind.
• In contrast, the hospital division Helios recorded a decline in earnings despite sales growth due to the loss of state energy subsidies in Germany.
• Group-wide, the result from continuing operations - i.e. excluding Fresenius Medical Care (FMC) - rose by 12 percent to 416 million euros.

BMW $BMW (+1.37%)expects tariff reductions

• The car manufacturer BMW is expecting tariff reductions in the summer and is therefore maintaining its outlook for the year.
• The tariff increases are likely to be only temporary in some cases and there should be reductions in tariffs from July 2025, the DAX-listed company announced in Munich on Wednesday.
• The current forecast takes into account tariff increases that have already come into force by March 12 as well as countermeasures taken by the company.
• "Due to the volatile development and the ongoing negotiations, the expected effects of customs duties can still only be depicted using assumptions," the Group said.
• BMW performed better than feared in the first quarter.
• Earnings before interest and taxes slipped by 22.5 percent to 3.14 billion euros due to the weakness in China, while sales fell by 7.8 percent.
• In the Automotive division, the operating margin (EBIT) fell by 1.9 percentage points to 6.9 percent.
• However, this was better than analysts' average estimates.
• At the bottom line, the surplus fell by a good quarter to 2.17 billion euros.

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately, not every sale is a profit - I'm currently down around 30% with BMW, Mercedes, VW and Porsche Holding.

$VOW (+2.24%)
$MBG (+1.55%)
$BMW (+1.37%)
$PAH3 (+1.68%)

The dividends are nice, but what would you do? Hold or sell?

Alternatively, I would shift them into an ACWI ($ISAC) (-0.07%) to shift them.

Thank you for your assessment!

Greetings Dagobert

The markets are still quite volatile. Although most of the markets are already rising again today, the only question is for how long. Nevertheless, I took the opportunity to buy a few more positions in order to lower the average entry value. After all, everything should be long-term :)

$JPM (+0.1%)

$BMW (+1.37%)
$FMG (+0.74%)

$EWG2 (-1.96%)

$3HCL (+4.51%)

I still have a bit of cash on the side for the next few days to buy more. If necessary, I'll top up my savings plans for next week instead of buying at the beginning of the month. The MSCI and some EM markets. Folus on the USA and EU is too high for me at the moment.

Trump tariffs burden German car manufacturersDonald Trump's announcement to impose tariffs of 25 percent on car imports to the USA is causing great concern in the German automotive industry. Companies such as Volkswagen $VOW3 (+2.67%)BMW $BMW (+1.37%) and Mercedes $MBG (+1.55%) in particular must be prepared for considerable consequences. These new tariffs particularly affect vehicles imported into the USA from Europe. Fortunately, cars produced in the USA will be spared these additional duties. Nevertheless, the pressure on German manufacturers will increase as they will have to adjust their prices in order to remain competitive. Uncertainty over future trade relations between the USA and Europe remains a crucial issue for car manufacturers.

Von der Leyen stands up for EU workersIn the current situation, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has clearly positioned herself and emphasized that the EU must stand together as a major trading power to protect the interests of its workers, companies and consumers. In view of the new tariffs, it is important that the EU stands united in order to minimize any negative impact on the European economy. EU Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič had recently held talks in Washington to avert the punitive tariffs, but without success. The challenges for the automotive industry, especially in Germany, are palpable and the coming months will be crucial in finding solutions. If the EU does not act together, the economic consequences could be even more serious than they already are.
