Snowflake rises up to 25% + Bitcoin almost at $100,000 + Rotation in MDax + Carl Zeiss Meditec falls to low since 2018 + Berenberg rates CTS Eventim a 'Buy' - target 100 euros

The Snowflake $SNOW (+2,6 %) shares rose 25% after the data analytics provider raised its full-year product revenue guidance and announced that it has partnered with AI company Anthropic to expand its cloud services.

The Bitcoin $BTC (+0,28 %) reached just under $100,000 overnight and currently stands at $99,000.

What do you think, will Bitcoin reach $100,000 in November, or even today?

The US bank JPMorgan expects only a few changes for the next index review by Deutsche Börse at the beginning of December. While everything should remain the same in the leading Dax index, analyst Pankaj Gupta expects a swap in the mid-cap index below it, the MDax, where, according to him, industrial recycler Befesa will probably make way for drug researcher Evotec $EVT (-14,47 %) will have to give way. Befesa $BFSA (+1,78 %) would be relegated to the SDax, the index of smaller stocks. In the TecDax, Gupta expects that SMA Solar $S92 (-0,56 %) will make way for the internet service provider Ionos $IOS (-0,22 %) Deutsche Börse will review the indices of the Dax family (Dax, MDax, SDax and TecDax) on Wednesday, December 4, and announce any changes after the close of trading in the US. The changes will come into effect on Monday, December 23.

The downturn in the share price of Carl Zeiss Meditec $AFX (+1,46 %) continued on Thursday with a new six-year low. The trend at the medical technology manufacturer has been pointing downwards since 2021, and this trend has intensified in the current year since March. At that time, the shares were still trading above 123 euros. On Thursday, the drop of over four percent pushed them down to 54.45 euros. This marks the lowest level since April 2018. With brief exceptions in August and late October and early September, the shares have been trading below the 200-day line, which is a popular long-term indicator for chart-oriented investors, for months. Jack Reynolds-Clark from RBC Research did not paint a good picture for the company at the beginning of November, downgrading it to "Sector Perform" due to uncertain demand in the various end markets. He emphasized that the consensus for 2025 depicts a rather optimistic scenario that is difficult to justify.

The private bank Berenberg has raised its rating for CTS Eventim $EVD (+0,06 %) to "Buy" with a target price of 100 euros. The event organizer presented mixed quarterly figures, wrote analyst Gerhard Orgonas on Thursday evening. He cut his earnings estimates until 2026, taking into account integration costs and a slightly lower ticketing margin.

• CTS Eventim increased its consolidated revenue by 15.8 percent to EUR 2.027 billion in the first nine months of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA grows by 12.1 percent to EUR 322.7 million in the same period. The company's management is sticking to its forecast and expects a significantly higher Adjusted EBITDA for the full year compared to the previous year.
• CTS Eventim records a 22.9 percent increase in revenue to EUR 564.6 million in the Ticketing segment and a 13.6 percent increase to EUR 1.494 billion in the Live Entertainment segment. The company is also awarded the contract for the construction and operation of a new large arena by Wien Holding.

The "underestimated opportunity" has delivered in full. 📉

I really don't understand why you would think you're smarter than the market by "hoping(?)" that it's not too bad.

A little tidbit from a contract manufacturer for some industries: Yes, the situation is indeed precarious. It may not (yet) be fatal, but how do you explain to employees who are dependent on their monthly payment that you have to go into short-time working for economic reasons?

This goes explicitly to the author of the attached post, because you were so kind to me. Here you have your kiss back attached.😘

Now then.

On to the factual part:

SMA Solar $S92 (-0,56 %) has merely reflected the current picture of the inverter market today and has once again revised its forecast. There is still no improvement in sight. In particular due to the relatively uncertain political situation in Germany and the lack of transparency in the economic outlook.

With underutilization of production facilities, it is almost uneconomical to be a producer when you also consider the competitive pressure from the Far East. However, before we verbally defend Germany as a location once again, the general economic environment in Europe, particularly in the EU, must be taken into account. Ultimately, it is down to the consumer behaviour of citizens, who are currently very hesitant and are more likely to turn to cheap products from the Far East to realize their projects. This applies in particular to more expensive investments, as can be seen in the renewable energy sector or especially in the automotive sector. Although the ECB is already taking measures in this regard, uncertainty remains.

Foreign companies, particularly from the USA and China, can therefore score points here, as plant capacity utilization can be scaled up through massive subsidies so that the unit costs only correspond to fractions of the sales price. Unfortunately, under the current market conditions in Germany, this is not possible without a loss of profitability.

In particular, stock corporations such as SMA are designed by their structure to generate added value for their shareholders, which is hardly possible without losses in order to maintain the market position. The biggest competitors for this are Huawei, Sungrow $300274 and Fronius.

Conclusion:

Unfortunately, I cannot currently see any added value for a possible investment. This would require additional subsidies from the EU, which I personally would consider inappropriate in order to keep manufacturers in the economic area. You cannot stop globalization by hoping that an almost hopeless situation can only get better. That contradicts the spirit of a public limited company, which lives solely from the added value of its shareholders.

Fortunately, I can say goodbye to the industry at the end of the year and return to my old "love". Although this time has given me a lot of experience, it has also shown me the limits of challenges.

Spotify share price records tumble thanks to customer popularity + SMA Solar cuts its annual targets again + ASML continues to focus on AI boom

The shares of Spotify $SPOT (+0,37 %) shares soared to a record high on Wednesday following the music streaming provider's strong quarterly figures. At its peak, it rose by more than 10 percent to a good 462 US dollars. It was the fifth consecutive trading day with a record high for the shares. Since the beginning of the year, the shares have gained more than 140 percent. Since their record low in November 2022, the shares have increased almost sevenfold. Following this rally, the company's market capitalization amounts to more than 92 billion dollars. Spotify recorded 252 million paying subscribers in the third quarter, 12 percent more than a year earlier. The number of monthly active users, a key figure taken into account by advertisers, rose by eleven percent to 640 million. Both trends were stronger than experts had expected. Turnover climbed by almost a fifth to just under 4 billion US dollars.

The inverter manufacturer SMA Solar $S92 (-0,56 %) has again lowered its expectations for the current year. The company announced late Wednesday evening that it now expects sales of 1.45 to 1.50 billion euros. The targets lowered in mid-June had been 1.55 to 1.70 billion euros. Experts had previously expected 1.54 billion euros. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are now expected to be between minus 20 million euros and plus 20 million euros. Previously, the target had been 80 to 130 million euros. Analysts are actually expecting just under 95 million euros. The company referred to the ongoing market weakness in the Home Solutions and Commercial & Industrial Solutions segments. In addition, the restructuring and transformation program announced in September 2024 would have an impact. These one-off effects, such as write-downs on inventories and restructuring expenses, are expected to total between 100 and 140 million euros. In addition, balance sheet write-downs as part of the annual financial statements are expected to lead to a further reduction in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR 20 to 30 million. According to the press release, the amount of the provisions is still subject to further review. The company also expects to cut up to 1,100 full-time positions worldwide.

The chip industry supplier ASML $ASML (-0,09 %) is sticking to its broad long-term targets despite the recent difficult business situation. The increasing importance of artificial intelligence is also expected to provide momentum. Sales are set to rise to between 44 and 60 billion euros by 2030, the Group announced at a capital market day on Thursday. By way of comparison, the Dutch company had only lowered its sales forecast for 2025 to between 30 and 35 billion euros in mid-October. A gross margin of 56 to 60 percent of turnover is expected in 2030. The specialist for so-called lithography systems for the production of state-of-the-art computer chips, which are also important for AI applications, has recently felt a certain reluctance to buy on the part of customers. Many chip manufacturers had partially curtailed their investment plans, partly due to the sluggish development of electromobility. Added to this is the technology dispute between China and the USA with the debate on export bans for state-of-the-art chip production systems to China. However, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet remains confident. The long-term prospects for the semiconductor industry remain promising, as semiconductors play a decisive role in the implementation of numerous megatrends in society, he said on Thursday, according to a press release. In addition to the growth potential of several other important end markets, the AI trend offers a significant opportunity for the semiconductor industry.

📉 SMA Solar Technology AG: An underestimated opportunity despite scaremongering 📈

- 🛡️ Financial stability: With an Altman Z-Score of 7 the company is financially stable.

- 🚫 Varta comparison unfounded: Despite challenging market conditions and high inventories, SMA remains strong, continues to invest in production capacities and demonstrates confidence in future growth.

Tilray: In the fast lane with HDD9 drinks + SMA Solar is cutting back - job cuts likely + SAP is being targeted by the US Department of Justice + 50,000 Wirecard shareholders can hope for a little cash + Delivery Hero rally continues - 12-month high

The US investment bank Jefferies has raised its rating for Tilray $TLRY (-0,14 %) to "Buy" with a price target of 2.50 dollars. Based on the current share price, this corresponds to a potential return of 48%. In his current study, analyst Kaumil Gajrawala highlighted the launch of a new range of beverages containing hemp-derived Delta-9-THC (HDD9). These products are expected to be available in key US markets from October 2024.

The weakening inverter manufacturer SMA Solar $S92 (-0,56 %) wants to make substantial savings due to the problems in the business with private and commercial solar systems and is also likely to cut jobs. The Managing Board intends to launch a restructuring and transformation program that is expected to result in cost savings of 150 to 200 million euros, as the SDax company announced late Wednesday evening in Niestetal, Hesse. The sales development in the Home Solutions and Commercial & Industrial Solutions segments continues to be significantly influenced by persistently high inventories at dealers and installers as well as a generally very challenging market environment, it said. The share price rose by two percent after the close of trading on the Tradegate trading platform compared to the Xetra close. "In order for SMA to remain an integral part of the global energy transition in the future, we must now position ourselves better and for the future," said CEO Jürgen Reinert according to the press release. He wants to use the cost-cutting program to stabilize the company financially in the short term and realign it on the market.

SAP $SAP (+0,09 %) was under pressure to sell following a report that the company in the USA, as well as the US IT reseller Carahsoft, had been targeted by the US Department of Justice. Since at least 2022, lawyers have been investigating whether the German software group had entered into possible price agreements with Carahsoft in order to obtain excessive prices from the US Army and other US authorities. This is according to court documents filed, reported the news agency Bloomberg. An SAP spokesperson did not want to comment on this when asked by Dow Jones Newswires.

Following a new decision by the Munich Higher Regional Court, a good 50,000 Wirecard $WDI -shareholders can hope for compensation in the insolvency proceedings for the time being. The fifth senate of the Higher Regional Court has decided that Wirecard shareholders can file their claims in the insolvency proceedings. The lawsuit against the insolvency administrator Michael Jaffé was brought by the asset management company Union Investment, which had purchased Wirecard shares for 33 of its clients between 2015 and 2020. First reported by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung". The case is not yet closed. It is a so-called "interim judgment"; the judges in the case did not decide on the grounds or the amount of the claims for damages filed by Union Investment.

The mood of optimism among investors in Delivery Hero $DHER (+1,89 %) continued on Wednesday. The shares continued their rapid recovery, which began at the beginning of August, with a 7.7 percent jump in price to EUR 34.53. This was the first time in more than a year that they had exceeded the EUR 34 mark. The old highs from November 2023 and April 2024 were recently close to this level, but the increase was recently put back into perspective to almost 5%. Recently, the prospect of an IPO of the rapidly growing Middle East and North Africa brand Talabat, among other things, has been arousing the imagination of investors, who have been used to a lot of grief since the record high from the coronavirus era. In January 2021, up to EUR 145 was paid when the pandemic lockdowns triggered hype around online services. In the spring of this year, the sell-off then ended at a level of just under EUR 15, from which there have only been temporary recovery rallies so far. In July and August, the shares came even closer to the low.
