KLOECK & Co Stock Forum

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to optimize my portfolio and possibly also to compromise.

Perhaps you have any suggestions or ideas as to what can be improved

I'm currently saving around €1000 a month in my ETFs and another €600 in equities ( $RWE (+0.29%) I have newly taken up and $KCO (-1.05%) no longer saved)

I currently have the following in my savings plan

$ANDR (-3%)

I think Andritz is well positioned for the future, especially for the electrification of all possible processes and also in the H2 area, plus a solid dividend of currently €2.5 per share.

$SBMO (-2.68%)

As an operator and builder of drilling rigs, they will still have a good market in the future

$KO (+0.08%)

One of my favorite stocks. A secure market environment with an established brand. They have also been regularly increasing their dividend for around 70 years

$RWE (+0.29%)

The share has suffered massively recently and has a lot of catch-up potential. In addition, there are investments in renewable energies (mainly in the USA) and a secure business model.

$2020 (-4.59%)

A rather unknown brand that includes FILA. Here too, I think that the South-East Asian market in particular will become more interesting in the future

$SHEL (-0.63%)

My last energy company in the savings plan. Of the oil companies, Shell has promising strategies for the future and a very positive development

$AIL

High dividend, moderate share price performance

Economy on 14.03.2024...

Dax celebrates figures from E.ON and Co. Bitcoin over $73,000 ⤵️

$BTC (-0.41%)
Bitcoin over 73,000$. Who would have thought it? You always notice how sentiment towards stocks is when they are in the basement. Now you're constantly being asked whether it's still worth getting in. You can see how emotional most people are on the stock market. When it's low, everything always sucks, even though it's sometimes worth buying, and when it's rising, it's the best there is. Why not get in when the price is right? You don't just have to understand this in relation to BTC, but in general.

But why is there only ever talk of BTC? What about $ETH (-1.07%)
Ethereum. It too has more than doubled in value in recent months. It's important to remember that BTC now has approved spot ETFs and ETH is only just being discussed. I could therefore very well imagine that ETH will outperform BTC at some point in the ongoing bull market (only if the spot ETF really comes, of course). Crypto has now taken up over 50% of my portfolio. However, profits will be left to run until the targets are reached and then the reallocation will take place. It remains very exciting to see what dimensions will be reached here. However, I also think that this will be the last strong bull market in the sector now that the large institutions will dominate it.

Yesterday there were again some figures from Germany and Europe. Let's just take a look at a few of them. The market certainly celebrated them!

$EOAN (-1.91%)
E.ON achieves sales of €93.68 billion in 2023 (previous year: €115.66 billion), adjusted EBITDA of €9.37 billion (previous year: €8.05 billion, preliminary: €9.4 billion), adjusted EBIT of €6.38 billion (previous year: €5.19 billion), adjusted net profit of €3.06 billion (previous year: €2.7 billion, preliminary: €3.1 billion). For 2023, E.ON is proposing a dividend of €0.53 per share (previous year: €0.51 per share, analyst forecast: €0.53 per share). In its outlook for 2024, E.ON expects EBITDA (adjusted) of €8.8 to €9 billion (forecast: €8.6 billion), an adjusted net profit of €2.8 to €3.0 billion (forecast: €2.7 billion) and investments of €7.2 billion (forecast: €6.5 billion). In the years from 2024 to 2028, E.ON plans to invest €42 billion (forecast: €34.5 billion). For 2028, the Group is forecasting EBITDA (adjusted) of over €11 billion (forecast: €9.8 billion).

$ADS (-2.05%)
adidas generates 2023 final sales of €21.4 billion (PY: €22.5 billion, preliminary: €21.4 billion), a final operating profit of €268 million (PY: €669 million, preliminary: €268 million) and a net result from continuing operations of -€58 million (PY: €254 million). Adidas proposes an unchanged dividend for 2023 unchanged dividend of €0.70 per share for 2023 (forecast: €0.52). Outlook confirmed, for 2024 further operating profit of around €500m and sales growth (ex FX) in the mid 1-digit percentage range expected.

The company's outlook for the period up to 2028 sees average sales growth of 5% to 10% and and GMV growth of +5% to +10% per year on average. For 2024, Zalando expects GMV growth of 0% to 5% (forecast: €15.3 billion), sales growth of 0% to 5% (forecast: €10.5 billion) and EBIT (adjusted) of €380 to €450 million (forecast: €381.2 million). In 2028, Zalando expects an EBIT margin (adjusted) of 6% to 8%.

$KCO (-1.05%)
Klöckner achieves sales of €7.0 billion in 2023 (previous year: €8.3 billion, analyst forecast: €7.65 billion), EBITDA (adjusted) of €190 million (previous year: €355 million, company forecast: €170 to €200 million) and a net result of -€190 million. The dividend per share of €0.20 (previous year: €0.40, analyst forecast: €0.15) amounts to.

Rivian - The electric vehicle startup, obtained 20% by Amazon ( $AMZ (+1.9%) ) , is seeking $8.4 billion in funding through the IPO. This would make it the third largest IPO in the U.S. in the last 10 years. Rivian would be valued at $53 billion, almost as much as Honda ( $HDM (-0.69%) A share is expected to cost between $57 and $62.

In October, Amazon ordered 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian, which is building a brand of electric SUVs and pickups in parallel with this production.

𝗘𝘅-𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 📅

Date ex-dividend: Armstrong World Industries ( $91A (+0%) ), Banco Bradesco ( $BRE (+0%) ), Banco Santander (Mexico) ($BSMX ), Cambridge Bancorp ( $CATC ), Fomento Económico Mexicano ( $FOMC (-2.49%) ), Hess Midstream ( $HESM ), Hope Bancorp ( $NRB (-1.15%) ), NextEra Energy ( $1NG ), S&T Bancorp, Inc. $STBA ) and WSFS Financial Corporation ( $WSFS (+1.85%) ).

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗹𝘀📈

Today ( $ACE1 (-3.59%) ), Ansys ( $AKX (-0.18%) ), BMW ( $BMW (-0.59%) ), Geberit AG ( $GBRA (-0.16%) ), Klöckner & Co ( $KCO (-1.05%) ), Lufthansa ( $LHA (-1.3%) ), Marriott International ( $MAQ (-0.37%) ), MetLife ( $MWZ (+0.82%) ), Norma Group ( $NOEJ (-2.86%) ), Novo Nordisk ( $NOVC ), Qualcomm ( $QCI (-2.78%) ), Raiffeisen ( $RAW (-0.14%) ), Teamviewer ( $TMV (+0.2%) ) and Zalando ( $ZAL (-1.46%) ) present their figures.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

Fed - The Federal Reserve holds its interest rate meeting today, at which the U.S. central bank will likely announce a reduction in its bond-buying program. As a result, speculation about a possible interest rate hike next year is already in the air.

In advance, the markets are very positive and remain well oriented. According to CMC Markets analyst Jochen Stanzl, this change in monetary policy is no longer a major factor for the stock markets. The reason is that the quarterly figures are still very positive.

Lufthansa ( $LHA (-1.3%) ) - In the third quarter, Deutsche Lufthansa nearly doubled its revenue. Revenue rose 96 percent to 5.2 billion euros in the months of July through September. The adjusted loss before interest and taxes fell to 17 million, compared with 1.262 billion in the same period last year. This is an "important step" to get out of the crisis, said group CEO Carsten Spohr. The Group expects to be able to continue to increase its revenue over the full year 2021.

HelloFresh ( $HFG (+0.3%) ) - HelloFresh raised its revenue guidance again on the back of strong growth in the current fiscal year through October. Core revenues increased to €1.416 billion from €970 million in the same period last year. This is due to strong customer growth and a continued high order rate as well as high average order values. The adjusted operating margin before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is expected to be between 8.25 and 10.25 percent.

G20 - The global minimum tax is due in 2023. Any company with annual sales of more than €750,000 will pay a 15 percent tax on its profits. Large digital companies must have at least €20 billion in revenue and a pre-tax profit margin of at least 10 percent to be covered by the global sales tax. Amazon ( $AMZ (+1.9%) ) would then be spared its 5% margin, while Apple ( $APC (+0.17%) ) would be asked to pay. Tax havens would also become less attractive, as the tax burden would not fall on the home countries, as is currently the case, but on the market countries, i.e. where most of the turnover is generated.

𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 💎

El Salvador - With the surplus from the El Salvador Bitcoin Trust, the country wants to build 20 new "Bitcoin schools." After another purchase of 420 BTC ( $BTC-EUR (-0.41%) ), the government currently holds 1,120 BTC in its Bitcoin Trust account. Already in mid-October, President Nayib Bukele announced the allocation of four million US dollars from the Bitcoin Trust for the construction of a new veterinary hospital.

Squid Game - The coin bearing the abbreviation SQUID, which alludes to the Netflix series Squid Game, shocked the crypto scene yesterday. The coin was launched last Thursday at a starting price of $0.01. Within 4 days, the price increased by an incredible 380,000.00% to $38 on Monday morning. After further growth, the price rose to $89 the same day. However, the journey was not to end there. Within 3 hours, one event followed another. The price of SQUID reached an incredible $2,861.80 and just 5 minutes later, the coin collapsed 99.99% to $0.0007926.

In addition, the website that was promoting the coin is no longer online. It is also known that many SQUID holders were unable to sell their positions after a while, so they could only sit on their hands. It was therefore a "rug-pull", i.e. the promoters of the project sold it and went underground with the profits. In addition, it is now clear that there is no connection with Netflix or other representatives of the series.

Please consider this story as a warning (🚨) of what can happen when one recklessly invests in small-cap memes. Many investors have lost their money with no chance of getting it back. Educate yourself before you invest. You'll be able to see exactly what you need to pay attention to on our Instagram page in the coming days.

Rivian - The electric vehicle startup, which is 20 percent owned by Amazon ($AMZ (+1.9%)), is seeking $8.4 billion in funding by going public. That would make it the third-largest IPO in the U.S. in the last decade. This would give Rivian a valuation of $53 billion and would be almost as big as Honda ($HDM (-0.69%)). A share is expected to cost between $57 and $62.

As recently as October, Amazon ordered 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian, which is building a brand of electric SUVs and pickups alongside that production.

Fed - The Federal Reserve holds its interest rate meeting today, at which the U.S. central bank is likely to announce a cut in its bond-buying program. Therefore, speculation of a possible rate hike next year is already in the room.

In the run-up, the markets present themselves in a very positive mood and continue to be on a strong course. According to analyst Jochen Stanzl of CMC Markets, this monetary policy change no longer represents a supporting burden for the stock markets. The reason for this is the consistently very positive quarterly figures.

Revenue rose 96 percent to 5.2 billion euros in the months from July to September. Adjusted loss before interest and taxes narrowed to 17 million from 1.262 billion in the same period last year. It was a "milestone" out of the crisis, said Group CEO Carsten Spohr. The Group expects to be able to continue increasing its sales in the full year 2021.
