While many in the community feel that they are keeping their distance from the car industry, I have deliberately put Porsche in my portfolio.

Why?

Because I believe in the brand, quality and dividends - and because I am convinced: You should also invest in what you really really like. Emotion in investing is often ridiculed. For me, however, it is part of it - to a healthy degree.

Of course: the share is weakening. China is not running smoothly, margins are being squeezed by e-mobility investments and the stock market is somehow punishing everything that smells of the "old economy".

But that's exactly where I see the opportunity - in the long term. Porsche is still highly profitable, has a strong brand, delivers solid dividends - and will continue to hold its place in the luxury class in the future.

And yes: if I were to buy a Porsche - why not put shares in my portfolio?

Hi everyone,

50 Eur came from the deposit account. The rest in the normal way. Does anyone know why the dividend payout was split? Account empty? 🤔

Porsche significantly lowers forecast

In China, the sports car manufacturer Porsche $P911 (+0,96 %) is facing a serious sales crisis. In the first quarter, the company recorded a 42 percent drop in sales. This decline is not only due to weak demand in China, but also to the US import tariffs, which are weighing heavily on Porsche. As a result, the company has revised its annual targets sharply downwards. The return on sales will now be between 6.5 and 8.5 percent, whereas previously a range of 10 to 12 percent was targeted. Turnover will be reduced by 1 to 2 billion euros, so that it should now be between 37 and 38 billion euros. In the worst case scenario, operating profit could fall to just 2.4 billion euros - a massive drop compared to 5.6 billion euros in the previous year. A key factor in this development is the US tariffs, which force Porsche to import vehicles from North America, increasing costs by 25 percent. In addition, Porsche is currently holding back deliveries to the USA in order to better assess the impact of the tariffs. The planned reorganization of battery production also poses a challenge, as Porsche wants to realign its activities in this area in order to be able to react more flexibly to market changes.

Deutsche Bank reports highest quarterly profit in 14 years

In the USA, Deutsche Bank $DBK (+3,52 %) achieved an impressive quarterly profit in the first quarter of 2023, reaching its highest level in 14 years. Pre-tax profit rose by 39% year-on-year to over €2.8 billion, while net profit climbed to around €1.8 billion. This profit growth is the result of better business in all areas as well as targeted savings. Investment banking in particular contributed around 3.4 billion euros to the increase in earnings. CEO Christian Sewing emphasized that the company has already achieved 85 percent of the targeted cost reductions of 2.5 billion euros. The "Deutsche Bank 3.0" restructuring program is intended to increase the company's efficiency, with the aim of achieving a return on equity of over 10 percent by 2025. A figure of 11.9 percent was already achieved in the first quarter, underlining the positive development.

At that time between $P911 (+0,96 %) and $RACE (+0,55 %) and in retrospect unfortunately made the wrong decision despite Ferrari's high P/E ratio. We used the recent setbacks to make an exchange.

What did I take with me?

It is not a crisis because >\=20% down but a good entry into tranches.

Which stocks were discussed?

$P911 (+0,96 %) Unfortunately I've been in Porsche since 2023, when luxury comes back, the Chinese will buy Porsche and not locally

$ABX and $NEM (-2,06 %) Barrick and Newmont buy the shovels not the gold. Gold is for value preservation, not for speculation. I was invested in mines decades ago.

$MC (+0,96 %) LVMH surprised me, I thought the air was out, will have a look.

$META (+0,82 %) I finally understood how Facebook makes money. There's still a lot to come. First purchase?

$GOOGL (+1,13 %) Yes, I've been adding to my portfolio since 25.

$H1PE34 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I only knew it as a hardware manufacturer, here is the shovel for AI Ai chips.

$9988 (+1,47 %) and $9888 (+1,33 %) Chinese Baidu and Alibaba. I also had it 10 years ago, after the high it went down bloody. But will probably be seen again as a turnaround and cash flow for 2025.

$TTD (+2 %) I was not aware of Trade Desk until today.

$22U Biontech became known as a corona profiteer, but is looking for the cancer vaccine.

These 10 stocks were discussed as stronger buys on the spot.

Which stocks are of interest to you, or where are you buying now?

This week, we have once again included some titles in our simulation game. At the suggestion of @serkeftin to prepare for Donald Trump's tariff announcements and have reduced our call money position and added short warrants with a 4 - 5 leverage for $VOW (-6,52 %) , $MBG (+1,65 %) , $P911 (+0,96 %) , $BMW (+1,98 %) . We are hoping for good returns with a higher risk in a short period of one week.
