„Meteorologically, things are looking quite good“

4 days ago | boersen-zeitung.de | Martin Dunzendorfer

It would probably be going too far to talk of a crisis in Germany's DIY sector. But after a good year in 2019 and exceptionally strong years in 2020 and 2022 (2021 was an outlier due to pandemic restrictions), Obi, Bauhaus, Hornbach etc remain in a stabilisation phase with declining sales. According to the industry association BHB (Handelsverband Heimwerken, Bauen und Garten), the past two calendar years brought like-for-like falls of 3.4% and 1.0%.
Consumer goods companies facing uncertain outlook

Many crises over the past six years – notably the coronavirus pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine – have had consequences for the global economy. Supply chains were disrupted, production resources were lacking, inflation rates skyrocketed, and there was turmoil on the capital markets. As if these burdens, which continue to have an impact to this day, were not enough, US President Donald Trump has created total uncertainty in just three months in office.

Leifheit has weathered the recent turbulence on the stock markets well. At around 19 euros, the household products manufacturer's share price is even slightly above the level it was at before US President Donald Trump's first tariffs announcement, which marked the beginning of the strong fluctuations on the stock markets. Leifheit shares are currently benefiting from the high proportion of turnover generated in Europe (89%) and the fact that the majority of production sites are located in Europe.

It's a difficult time for German auto suppliers. Even without the gyrations on tariffs from US President Donald Trump, the weak economic situation in the industry means holding on to cash. This is especially true for companies specialising in electromobility, as electric cars are nowhere near reaching the sales figures that were predicted in recent years.

The DHL Group (formerly Deutsche Post) has announced strategic investments of 2 billion euros over the next five years. With this, the Bonn-based company aims to strengthen its Life Sciences and Healthcare logistics sector. The investments align with the „Strategy 2030“ initiative which was announced in September.

Plans to ramp up deep sea mining activities

Deep-sea mining sounds a bit like science fiction. Almost like extracting raw materials from asteroids and comets. But a study by management consultants Roland Berger concludes that commercial production will start by 2030, and that 19 deep-sea mining sites will generate a total of around 25 billion dollars just five years after that.
DHL to cut 8,000 jobs in Germany

Mar 10, 2025 | boersen-zeitung.de | Martin Dunzendorfer

The logistics company DHL (formerly Deutsche Post) expects a slight increase in operating profit for the current year compared to 2024. In the previous reporting period, the company achieved earnings before interest and taxes (Ebit) of 5.89 billion euros, it announced last Thursday. This marks a 7.2% decrease compared to 2023, but it is slightly higher than the average analyst expectations of 5.82 billion euros, according to Bloomberg.
Steag sues the Federal Network Agency

Feb 24, 2025 | boersen-zeitung.de | Andreas Heitker |Martin Dunzendorfer

In just a few weeks, the bursting of the dotcom bubble on 10 March 2000 will mark its 25th anniversary. It seems like a strange coincidence that the Dax has been going wild precisely at this moment. A correction appears inevitable. While bulls put forth numerous arguments to fundamentally justify the German benchmark index’s rally in recent months and downplay the risk of a setback, they fail to convince, even when all taken together.
Frowned upon by nutrition experts, loved by consumers

Sep 11, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Martin Dunzendorfer

The goal of a healthy, or at least healthier, diet is a constant topic in the media and in private life. In countless studies, scientists have come to the conclusion that consumers should avoid foods that are high in sugar and fat – such as fast food, soft drinks, sweets and savoury snacks. These are often high in calories and low in nutrients, which can lead to obesity, and make people susceptible to diseases such as diabetes.
Grieder's reputation as a fashion manager under pressure

Aug 25, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Martin Dunzendorfer

Old awards can eventually blow up in companies' and people's faces if what they were once honoured for goes completely wrong. In February last year, Hugo Boss was cited as forecasting champion and top performer in a study by the shareholders' association DSW, strategy consultancy Advyce & Perlitz (now named Advyce & Company), and the University of Witten/Herdecke.
