At 53 billion euros, the 40 DAX companies are likely to pay out almost one billion euros more this year than a year ago - more than ever before.

The reason for the strong development is high consolidated profits and unexpectedly rising dividends at a good dozen companies, including $ALV (-0,47%) Allianz, $MUV2 (-0,02%) Munich Re and $RHM (-0,13%) Rheinmetall.

At 109 billion euros net profit, the DAX companies are likely to have earned as much in 2024 as in the previous year, according to Handelsblatt calculations. Slump in earnings for the three car manufacturers $BMW (+0,63%) BMW, $MBG (-0,35%) Mercedes and $VOW (+0,5%) VW will be offset by companies in other sectors, in particular the major insurers Allianz, Munich Re and $HNR1 (-1,47%) Hannover Re, but also $DTE (-0,19%) Deutsche Telekom, $HEN (+0,15%) Henkel and $EOAN (-0,46%) Eon.

More than a dozen DAX companies have announced higher dividends than the market had previously expected. For example $ALV (-0,47%) 15.40 euros per share after 13.80 euros in the previous year. Analysts had forecast just under 15 euros. The insurer is thus distributing just under six billion euros. This is a record in the German corporate landscape.

The biggest jump is at $MUV2 (-0,02%) Munich Re: The reinsurer is increasing its dividend by five euros per share to 20 euros.

The two healthcare specialists $FRE (-0,54%) Fresenius and $FME (-2,05%) Fresenius Medical Care, the brand manufacturer $HEN (+0,15%) Henkel, the automotive supplier $BTR Continental, the $CBK (+1,21%) Commerzbank, $RHM (-0,13%) Rheinmetall and $HNR1 (-1,47%) Hannover Re have raised their dividends, in some cases significantly more than expected. This is also due to rising profits, which justify a higher profit share for shareholders.

The largest dividend payers in the DAX are

• $ALV (-0,47%)
• 
  $DTE (-0,19%)
• 
  $MBG (-0,35%)
• 
  $SIE (-0,05%)
• 
  $VOW (+0,5%)

Like the car manufacturers, a number of companies in the DAX remain below the usual international payout ratios, including the family-run groups $BEI (-1,02%) Beiersdorf and $MRK (-0,13%) Merck. They pass on less than 30 percent of their profits. This leaves enough of a buffer so that dividends do not have to be reduced immediately in more difficult times.

Germany's most valuable group, $SAP (+0,55%) SAP, with a payout ratio of 85%, is pushing the limit: net profit of 3.1 billion euros in the past year compares with a total dividend payout of 2.7 billion euros. However, the profit was burdened by a one-off effect.

So far, a total of 20 companies have increased their dividends, with only $BAS (-0,61%) BASF and the three car manufacturers. Four companies have yet to do so: $RWE (-0,05%) RWE, $SY1 (-2,71%) Symrise and $VNA (-1,7%) Vonovia are likely to increase their dividends, while analysts expect $PAH3 (+1,22%) analysts expect a reduction at Porsche Holding.

The conference call of E.ON ($EOAN (-0,46%)) for the full year 2024 revealed a company that is not only financially financially sound, but also has clear strategic priorities for the coming years. coming years.

With adjusted EBITDA of €9 billion E.ON reached the upper end of its forecast range, underlining the company's strong operating performance. Investments increased to 7.5 billion eurosan increase of 1 billion compared to the previous yearwhich demonstrates E.ON's determination to actively shape the energy transition.

A central theme of the conference was the transformation of the energy networks. E.ON is increasingly focusing on digitalization, standardization and automationto increase efficiency and prepare the infrastructure for the growing demand for electricity. Already today significant progress in the digital networking of the gridsamong other things through the introduction of new asset management platforms and optimized customer billing systems.

In the Energy Retail segment segment, E.ON was able to further expand its digital customer platform, which led to a noticeable improvement in customer satisfaction. Particularly flexible tariff modelsthat enable consumers to benefit from benefit from the volatility of energy pricesrepresent a forward-looking growth area area.

E.ON has increased its five-year investment plan for energy networks by a further billion to 43 billion euros. This decision was primarily driven by regulatory improvements in Germanywhich allow accelerated depreciation of the gas grids allow.

However, the company made it clear that attractive regulatory framework conditions are a basic prerequisite for further investments. E.ON expects investments to investments to remain at a high level beyond 2028with possible increases from 2029 depends on the attractiveness of the new regulatory period will depend on the attractiveness of the new regulatory period.

One interesting aspect was the discussion about the future demand for electricity. E.ON sees a a significant increase in demandmainly due to electrification of transport and heating as well as the increasing energy requirements of AI data centers. centers. In the long term, this development could help to put the energy transition on a broader economic footing and keep electricity costs stable.

In the subsequent Q&A session focused in particular on the upcoming regulatory decisions in Germany, the investment planning and possible political influences in the focus.

A central topic was the next regulatory period from 2029. Several analysts asked about E.ON's expectationsespecially with regard to future returns for grid operators. Management emphasized that the regulatory regulatory framework will determine whether private investors will continue to provide capital for the modernization of grid infrastructure. By the end of 2025, E.ON expects more clarity on the exact regulatory requirements.

The The effects of the German elections on energy policy were also a topic. E.ON was confidentthat the that the need for high investment in the energy will be widely recognized politically - regardless of the outcome of the elections. A possible comeback of nuclear power was ruled out by the management for Germany.

Another point of discussion was the grid fees. Analysts asked about the potential impact of the planned political measures to reduce the feesespecially in connection with the CDU plans. E.ON explained that the debate is primarily focused on the transmission grid levelwhile at the regional distribution grid level, alternative relief mechanisms are conceivablefor example through revenue from CO₂ auctions or tax adjustments on electricity prices.

With regard to CapEx planning from 2027 or 2028, management explained that a possible increase in investments is dependent on regulatory clarity and attractive return conditions. E.ON remains committed to its value creation criteria.

The conference call conveyed a clear picture of E.ON as a strategically well-positioned company that will benefit from the energy transition.

With strong financial results, increasing investments in network infrastructure and a clear digitalization strategy E.ON remains a key player in the transformation of the energy sector. The planned 43 billion euros in investments underline the long-term potential of the company. However, success depends heavily on attractive regulatory conditionsespecially with a view to the next regulatory period from 2029.

NVIDIA to the rescue? Trump causes dip in growth + Novo Nordisk strong again + Home Depot disappoints with outlook + Eon beats 2024 market estimates + Deutsche Telekom with record dividend for 2024 + Supermicro shares rise after filing financial reports

Nvidia $NVDA (+1,61%)Numbers after hours today

• Investors are hoping that NVIDIA's quarterly figures on Wednesday after the close can turn the ship around in the tech sector.
• A positive trend on Wall Street in the run-up to the figures would therefore not be surprising.
• However, only one thing is certain - the share will see a fluctuation of a few percent in one direction or the other after the results.
• It's going to be a wild ride!

Novo Nordisk $NOVO B (+3,01%)strong - Semaglutid copycat under pressure

• Novo Nordisk shares continued to recover on Tuesday, rising 5.6 percent at times.
• On Friday, the US health authorities officially declared the shortage of the GLP-1 antidiabetic agent semaglutide to be over.
• Novo's drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, which are primarily known as weight loss injections, are also based on this active ingredient.
• With the FDA's announcement, exemptions for copycat products containing semaglutide are now likely to expire.
• What is good news for Novo is bad news for its suppliers, who are being punished accordingly on the stock market.
• The shares of Hims & Hers Health $HIMS (+2,73%)fell by almost a quarter in pre-market Nasdaq trading.

Have you heard about the new charging points? The EU is investing €45 million in an exciting project to create a total of 1,400 new charging points for electric cars and trucks by the end of 2027! 🚗⚡

The energy company E.ON is responsible for this $EOAN (-0,46%)together with its Slovakian subsidiary ZSE and the charging station operator Eldrive. This initiative, known as Drive-E, will make a decisive contribution to the electrification of freight and passenger transportation in Europe.

The new charging points include 430 specially designed for heavy commercial vehicles with a capacity of 350 kilowatts or more. The locations are optimally distributed along important freight routes and will be used for both trucks and cars.

The charging points will be installed at over 250 locations in various countries, including Germany, Austria, Denmark and Italy. E.ON is thus further expanding its e-mobility strategy and demonstrating that the future is electric!

What do you think of the development of the charging infrastructure in Europe? 👍

How do you assess the situation at $EOAN (-0,46%) company?

Since October, the share price has fallen by a good 20%, the company recently issued bonds worth almost €2 billion and is being downgraded by rating agencies.

Even though I am still 7% up in my own position and only invest for the very long term, the development worries me somewhat and reinforces my opinion that it really only belongs in a pensioner's portfolio. But should I sell now? What do you think?
