Hello getquin,

A partial takeover of Uniper by the federal government? What's up with a vote of no confidence in the CEO of McDonalds? Buy-now-pay-later for business?

Europe🌍:

1. federal government plans partial takeover of Uniper

Insiders claim that troubled energy company Uniper is on the verge of a bailout by the German government. Bloomberg news agency, citing informed sources, reported that the agreement with the German government could be finalized in the coming days. Under the agreement, the German government could hold up to 30% of Uniper's shares, giving it a blocking minority. In addition to buying ordinary shares at par, another option would be to acquire so-called hybrid assets, which analysts classify as similar to shares.

2nd McDonald's franchisees support no-confidence vote against CEO

McDonald's franchisees unhappy with ownership changes are expressing a lack of confidence in the company's CEO and U.S. president, according to a new survey. An independent franchisee advocacy group recently surveyed its members about changes being made to franchisee lease terms. In late June, McDonald's told owners that starting in 2023, it will evaluate potential new operators equally instead of giving preference to spouses and children of current franchisees.

3. new types of BNPL coming more into focus.

Venture capitalists are betting that a new generation of startups from Europe will be the real winners in the crowded "buy now, pay later" space. Valuations of consumer-facing BNPL providers such as Klarna and Affirm have plummeted amid concerns about a potential recession. Companies like Mondu, Hokodo and Billie have been able to raise a lot of money from investors on the simple argument that businesses - not consumers - are the more lucrative clientele for the "buy now, pay later" trend

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

G20 - Global minimum tax to come in 2023. In this, every company that exceeds an annual turnover of 750,000 euros is to pay 15% tax on its profits. The large digital corporations must have a turnover of at least 20 billion euros and generate a pre-tax profit margin of at least 10% to also be affected by the global sales tax. Amazon ($AMZ (-0,02 %)) would then be spared its 5% margin, while Apple ($APC (+0,65 %)) would be asked to pay. Tax havens would also become less attractive, as the tax burden would not fall on the home countries - as it does now - but on the market countries, i.e. where most of the revenue is generated.

Ryanair ($RY4C (+0,25 %)) - The airline has finally been able to report a profit again since the start of the pandemic. In the quarter July to September this year, the profit was 225 million euros. In comparison, Ryanair made a loss of 225.5 million euros in the same quarter last year.

However, a loss of 100 to 200 million euros is expected for the year as a whole, as airline tickets have to be offered at discounts.

Bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (+0,74 %)) - After Bitcoin's strong October 2021 gain, there are eager hopes for an even stronger price increase. Predictions vary between a $50,000 and $100,000. Next month's result could be significantly influenced by the fact that many investors are in a celebratory mood and expect a continued strong increase. On the other hand, a throttling of the markets is expected after an announcement by the Fed.
