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 (-17,69 %) will have to give way. Befesa $BFSA (+1,58 %) would be relegated to the SDax, the index of smaller stocks. In the TecDax, Gupta expects that SMA Solar $S92 (-0,64 %) will make way for the internet service provider Ionos $IOS (+0 %) 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 (+1,42 %) 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 (+0,15 %) 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.
