SAP's quarterly figures are better than expected + SHARES IN THE FOCUS: Fresenius and FMC higher - Confidence ahead of quarterly figures + Jefferies lowers Basler to 'Hold' - Target almost halved to 7 euros +

SAP $SAP (+0%) unexpectedly increases adjusted pre-tax profit in the third quarter by 27% to 2.24 billion euros and raises its forecast for the year. The SAP share rises by 4% in after-hours trading.

Investors in Fresenius $FRE (+0%) and Fresenius Medical Care $FME (+0%) seem to be gaining confidence ahead of the quarterly figures due at the beginning of November. In the early afternoon, Fresenius shares, which are listed in the Dax, were the best index stock, gaining 1.4 percent in an attempt to shake off the somewhat weaker trend since mid-September. Fresenius holding FMC rose by 2.1 percent in the MDax, but the shares remained just below their interim high from the beginning of October. Above that, they would cost as much as they last did in mid-June. The third quarter is usually the weakest for the medical group Fresenius, but the management should spread optimism, wrote Berenberg analyst Victoria Lambert. As recently as mid-October, the company was confident of achieving the upper end of the targeted range for the operating result (EBIT) for the full year. According to the expert, the growth in treatment figures at dialysis provider FMC should finally have turned positive in the third quarter and offset the effects of the mortality rate.

The analyst firm Jefferies has Basler $BSL (+0%) from "buy" to "hold" after the figures and almost halved its target price from 13.50 to 7 euros. The machine vision specialist surprised with a comparatively significant weakening of the order situation, wrote analyst Martin Comtesse in a study published on Tuesday. This was preceded by three quarters of improvements. A profit warning, restructuring and management changes were the consequences of the third quarter.

Markets take a breath near the ATH. A lot going on today. Paypal AGM, Nvidia figures and so on... ⤵️

There has been a lot going on in the last few weeks. Nevertheless, trading went very well and I still have a few positions open.

I'll take a long look at Hugo Boss after the figures and the co-op with David Beckham.

I have gone long on some solar stocks and I am still working on a turnaround $VNA (+0%) Vonovia, $PYPL (+0,09%) Paypal and $PAH3 (+0%) Porsche.

Closed trades of the last weeks are:

$BAYN (+0%) Bayer, $ADE (+0%) Bitcoin Group, $JNJ (-0,28%) Johnson & Johnson, $FME (+0%) Fresenius Medical Care and $AFX (+0%) Carl Zeiss

My savings plans on the ETFs are continuing and otherwise I am building up a lot of cash in order to be able to participate in one or two setbacks

Cryptos have also started well again, especially Ethereum, after the chances of an ETH ETF being approved rose to 75%.

Let's take a look at today's trading day and the dates. There are a few general meetings that are interesting. Paypal, McDonalds and so on, among others. See for yourself:

As already announced and questioned.

Yes 4 sales this week. Unfortunately or Sell in May and ....

Instead of Stop Loos I have entered 4 limits.

So I am parting with 2 positions where it would have been time for years, one before dividends and position 4 after buy and hold 😜

So to $FMC (-0,09%)

Hyped stocks in stock market newspapers, Dividenstar, operator clinics and participation in research, etc.

As well as DAX, Vogue etc. Also top buy hold and earn

Yes, a lot of theory, in practice 50% sunk, dividends cut to zero, but I remain loyal to the stock markets and individual stocks, as more return and the fever to lose or win

😜

Part 2 of 4: For vacation hedging stop lots mixed up and limit entered.

$FRE (+0%) and $FME (+0%) were bought a few years ago when the share price fell from almost 100 to 50/60.

Buy at > -30% and invest in DAX companies that also pay dividends.

Result after years of tears, investment and share price halving as well as dividend cut and exclusion from the DAX now 40.

Loss of almost 50%

The trade balance of Japan shows that Japan continues to achieve an export surplus. The surplus tripled in August to more than $15 billion. One of the main reasons are falling prices for imported goods.

$NOVO B Novo Nordisk is seeing positive results with its antidiabetic in chronic kidney patients. This puts a strain on dialysis speci $FME (+0%) Fresenius Medical Care and also $FRE (+0%) Fresenius. The study could be terminated due to proven efficacy. Fresenius Medical Care is thus likely to lose further patients; it already lost many during the corona pandemic due to excess mortality.

$BIRK (-0,11%) Birkenstock comes to the stock exchange with a price of EUR 46. The company was made fit for the stock exchange by Bernard Arnault and ends up there with a sporting valuation of USD 8.6 billion.

Producer prices in the USA rise more strongly than expected. They rose by 2.2% compared with the same month a year ago. The expectation was for around 1.6%. Producer prices are a leading indicator for inflation, so this is bad news.

Thursday:

The war of Isreal and Hamas now has a concrete impact on an asset class: cryptocurrencies. Apparently, cryptocurrencies in particular have been used to finance terror. Israeli police now froze all crypto accounts used to publicly solicit donations. Most of the accounts were held at Binance. Binance confirms cooperation with Isreal. However, the SEC is also suing Binance, so in the US the events also have possible consequences for the world's largest crypto exchange. $BTC (-1,19%)

Inflation data from the US is not coming in well. The inflation rate remains at 3.7%. A decline was expected.

Friday:

Still virtually no inflation in China. Consumer prices stagnated again, a slight increase was expected. China's foreign trade also continues to shrink. Exports and imports each fell by 6.2% compared to the same period last year. Experts see a slow, temporary recovery of the economy at the end of 2023.

https://amp2.handelsblatt.com/finanzen/geldpolitik/volksrepublik-china-verharrt-am-rande-einer-deflation/29444536.html

Also $VOW3 (+0%) VW also seems to be slowly stabilizing in China. In September, 0.9% fewer vehicles were sold than in the previous month. Worldwide, however, VW delivered 2.3 million vehicles in Q3, which is 7.4% more than in the same period last year. VW is able to make up for the problems in China with significant increases in North America and Europe. This is a healthy development, as it reduces dependence on China. Electric cars already accounted for 7.9% of total sales so far in 2023, or about 530,000 cars. By comparison, Tesla sold only 1.3 million vehicles in the same period.

$EH Ehang gets mega-approval in China. China's civil aviation authority has approved EH216-S. This is an unmanned drone with autopilot. It is the first approval of its kind in the world, making it a real milestone. The approval process went 2 years with countless tests. Shortly, trading in the stock will start again.

German shares with a lot of potential? More... ⤵️

Moin on the second trading day of this stock market week. Currently, there are Spannes upgrades in the market. Thus receives $AAPL (+0,19%)
Apple receives an upgrade from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $199. This is the view of Goldman Sachs. Also, a subcontractor (Foxconn) wants to invest $700 million in an iPhone plant in India. With Apple it goes thus round.

Also with many German enterprises it runs straight very very well. One must emphasize here the car rental company $SIX2 (+0%)
Sixt. It now wants to attack the US market more than before and plans to increase its market share from 3 to 10% by 2027. So all the switches are set for growth. That should please investors. Also the $LHA (+0%)
Lufthansa has come back very well since last week. The turnaround has worked like a storybook. Lufthansa's figures were also very good and the company has now weathered the crisis very well. For the DAX heavyweight $SAP (+0%)

SAP rose by 2.4 percent. Silver Lake and a Canadian pension fund are interested in buying the US subsidiary Quatltrics. The $18.15 offered is only a small premium over Friday's close, and the stock market said that the final word may not yet have been spoken. $RHM (+0%)
Rheinmetall moves up into the DAX and expels $FME (+0%)
Fresenius Medical Care. This is the first "Fast Entry Rule" which is now implemented. The high price gains in the last period, make this necessary.

With me on the watch list, and perhaps the first candidate we will buy with the new direction of the portfolio (is ready and armed since yesterday), could be $JNJ (-0,28%)
Johnson&Johnson could be. I like the current price level quite well. But I will report on this in due time. Now first of all to the new trading day:

Basically a market that continues to grow. But it will take some time for the share to reach new heights. Partial sale due to regrouping.
