Commerzbank

I just found it on my old iPhone 4 😅

At the time, there were many issues that led to this loss. Debt crisis in the EU, takeover of Dresdner Bank in 2008... and much more.

The combination of internal problems and external crises meant that the stock was one of the worst performers in the DAX at times and lost a lot of value.

Micron with strong share price gains after figures + Ceconomy share price jumps after buy vote + Commerzbank courted + Evotec and Mutares with news

Micron $MU (+5%) reported brisk demand for chips for AI applications and forecast higher profits for the current quarter than the market had expected. "In times of real growth fears, positive company assessments of future profits are welcome news and can easily push share prices higher," says Jan von Gerich, chief analyst at Nordea. The shares of other chip manufacturers are also recording price gains. Nvidia and AMD are up 1.9 percent each. Broadcom gained 1.5 percent and Intel 2.6 percent. Some tailwind is also likely to come from Asia. Following the latest economic stimulus measures by the Chinese central bank, further support measures for the weakening economy of the second-largest national economy are to come from the Chinese government. This caused prices to rise sharply on the stock exchanges in China.

Following a new buy recommendation Ceconomy $CEC (-0,77%) jumped in price on Thursday. With a recent gain of 14.3 percent to 3.24 euros, the electronics retailer secured first place in the small cap index SDax - ahead of the biofuel producer Verbio . Ceconomy shares have now also broken above the 100-day moving average, which is an indicator of the medium to long-term trend. They had already broken above the other trend lines days ago in view of the recent gains. The share price correction since June, when the shares reached their highest level since spring 2022 at EUR 3.39, has thus been virtually ironed out. Since the beginning of the year, the shares have gained a whopping 31%, which also puts them at the top of the index for this period.

For the shares of Commerzbank $CBK (-1,01%) went up by 6.9 percent. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, it intends to increase its return on equity more than previously planned in the coming years. The return on equity is set to rise to over 12 percent in 2027. Previously, the bank had forecast more than 11 percent. It also wants to distribute more money to its shareholders. In addition, a first meeting between the Frankfurt-based bank and Unicredit will take place tomorrow following the latter's share purchase. It is possible that a second acquirer will enter the ring, in which case things could get expensive.

Evotec $EVT (-0,03%) rose by 3.5 percent with the announcement of a technology partnership with the pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk. Also in the SDAX Mutares $MUX (-1,97%) fell by a further 14 percent. In trading, reference was made to a report by short-seller Gotham City Research. The report mentions inconsistencies in Mutares' balance sheet. According to the report, Gotham City has built up a position together with partners that is betting on a falling Mutares share price. The share price recovered significantly in the afternoon after Mutares rejected the allegations made by the short seller as misleading.

Monday:

Food prices are rising in China 🇨🇳 and thus increasing inflation. In the first few years after coronavirus, China even had problems with deflation. Even now, inflation is only 0.6%.

Tuesday:

Despite all the crises, more dividends will still be paid out in 2024. 92% of all companies worldwide are likely to increase their dividends. Overall, dividends paid out are likely to rise by 5% to 1.74 trillion US dollars worldwide. The 20 largest dividend payers worldwide in the second quarter include many German 🇩🇪Unternehmen $MBG (-0,53%) Mercedes (USD 6.1 billion),$ALV (+1,84%) Allianz (USD 5.8 billion), Deutsche Telekom (USD $DTE (+0,38%) Deutsche Telekom (USD 4.1 billion) and $BMW (-1,54%) BMW (USD 3.9 billion). The largest payout was made by $HSBA (+0,37%) HSBC (USD 11.7 billion). This is followed by the Swiss 🇨🇭Konzern $NESN (-0,15%) Nestlé (USD 8.7 billion).

The two tech companies $AAPL (+0,52%) Apple and $GOOGL (-5,23%) Alphabet must pay billions to the EU. Apple has now suffered a final defeat before the ECJ due to alleged state aid by Ireland. Apple now has to pay 13 billion euros in back taxes plus interest.

Alphabet also lost in court and has to pay a fine of 2.4 billion euros. The reason is that Alphabet probably favored its own price comparison service in search engine advertising.

$BMW (-1,54%) BMW cuts its targets and recalls 1.5 million cars. The main reason is probably faulty parts from suppliers. BMW is therefore focusing more on monitoring and training suppliers. Instead of 8 - 10 % profit margin, the target is now 6 - 7 %.

$VOW (-1,62%) VW unilaterally cancels the job guarantee. The termination letters for six collective agreements were handed over to IG-Metall Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt today. Dismissals for operational reasons are possible from July 1, 2025. Previously, job guarantees were in place until 2029, with VW justifying the end with excessively high costs in Germany, which are no longer competitive.

Inflation in the USA falls to 2.5% shortly before the Fed meeting and is thus approaching the 2.0% target. Experts had only expected a fall to 2.6%. Core inflation (excluding food and energy) remained at 3.2%. This should make it clear that the Fed is lowering interest rates. However, the amount of the cut is still unclear.

https://www.manager-magazin.de/finanzen/us-inflation-flaut-vor-zinswende-der-federal-reserve-ab-a-06c3e4b5-6579-43f5-917d-f860239c69ca

Thursday:

The ECB cuts the key interest rate by 25 basis points, which is in line with expectations. As a result, there has hardly been any impact on the stock market so far.

https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/europaeische-zentralbank-ezb-senkt-leitzins-auf-3-50-prozent-a-3fcb19ed-950f-413c-b21f-d7c25a36f31d

Producer prices in the US have risen slightly more than expected. However, the previous month's data was revised downwards slightly. Compared to the same month last year, producer prices rose by 1.7%. Producer prices are a leading indicator for the inflation rate in around 3 months' time.

https://www.ariva.de/news/usa-anstieg-der-erzeugerpreise-schwcht-sich-ab-11369313

Friday:

More and more market participants are expecting a large rate cut of 50 basis points at the Fed decision next week. In the meantime, 47% of interest rate traders believe a rate cut of half a percentage point is likely. If this is indeed the case, there is further upside potential for the markets. On the other hand, if this does not happen, there could be a major sell-off. This decision is therefore likely to move the markets in any case.
