The company is valued at around 10 billion euros. 8 billion euros was the most recent annual turnover. The Ben & Jerry's brand is also part of the group.
Wednesday:
The Fed cuts key interest rates for the third time in a row by 25 basis points to a range of 3.5 - 3.75 %. The Fed currently expects a further cut in 2026. The markets can rise after the decision. Lower interest rates -> more money for companies.

Friday:
Not only Germany, but also the UK has massive economic problems. New GDP figures show that economic growth has actually fallen unexpectedly.
The mobility company Flix has made a conscious decision to base itself in Germany and is deploying 65! ordered high-speed trains exclusively in Germany. So far, Flix has deployed 15 trains in Germany. From our point of view, this is good news, as we ourselves have already used the Flixtrain on the Stuttgart-Berlin route several times and were satisfied. You can indirectly invest in Flix via EQT ELTIF, which is traded on Trade Republic.
These are the most important dates for the coming week:
Tuesday: 9:30 HCOB Industrial Data (DE)
Thursday: 14:15 Interest rate decision (EUR)
Friday: 04:00 Interest rate decision (Japan)
