Με μικτά πρόσημα έκλεισαν στο τέλος τα ευρωπαϊκά χρηματιστήρια, παρά τις απώλειες που κατέγραφαν στο πρώτο μισό της συνεδρίασης, με τις μετοχές των κλάδων λιανικού εμπορίου και ΜΜΕ να σημειώνουν τα μεγαλύτερα κέρδη, κι αυτές των κλάδων εξόρυξης και real estate τις μεγαλύτερες απώλειες.
Σε χαμηλό 12 ετών βρέθηκαν σήμερα οι μετοχές των ευρωπαϊκών εταιρειών real estate, με τον σχετικό δείκτη να υποχωρεί από τις αρχές του έτους περίπου 14%, καθώς οι ανησυχίες σχετικά με την χρηματοδότηση τους αυξήθηκαν, λόγω των υψηλών επιτοκίων. Σύμφωνα με τους αναλυτές, οι εταιρείες real estate βρίσκονται αντιμέτωπες τόσο με την μείωση της αξίας των περιουσιακών τους στοιχείων, όσο και με την αύξηση του κόστους εξυπηρέτησης του χρέους, με ορισμένες από αυτές να χρειαστεί να αναζητήσουν κεφάλαια προκειμένου να ενισχύσουν τους ισολογισμούς τους.
Απώλειες κατέγραψε σήμερα η μετοχή της Volkswagen, αφού η γερμανική αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία αναθεώρησε τις ετήσιες προβλέψεις της για τα λειτουργικά κέρδη, καθώς οι επιδόσεις του τρίτου τριμήνου επλήγησαν από τις απώλειες παραγωγής από τις πλημμύρες στη Σλοβενία και το υψηλότερο κόστος προϊόντων.(περισσότερα εδώ)
Μια κίνηση-ορόσημο από την Ευρωπαϊκή Κεντρική Τράπεζα (ΕΚΤ) για την κυκλοφορία ενός ψηφιακού ευρώ εντός λίγων ετών σημαίνει ότι έχει έρθει η ώρα να αποδείξει την αξία της η νεότερη ενσάρκωση του χρήματος.(περισσότερα εδώ)
Η ολλανδική εταιρεία τεχνολογίας υγείας Philips αύξησε τη Δευτέρα τις εκτιμήσεις της για το σύνολο του έτους, καθώς ξεπέρασε τις προσδοκίες των αναλυτών για τα βασικά κέρδη και τις συγκρίσιμες πωλήσεις του τρίτου τριμήνου.(περισσότερα εδώ)

Indivior said it will pay $385 million and book an extra charge to settle the last claims in its legacy antitrust litigation regarding its opioid-addiction treatment Suboxone, and that it expects to post on-year growth for its third-quarter revenue. The pharmaceutical company on Monday said that the agreement with direct purchasers will mark the end of the multi-district litigation and that the trial scheduled at the end of October has been cancelled. The London-listed group said it will book a $228 million charge in its third-quarter results, which will be excluded from its adjusted earnings. The charge adds up to the current $157 million provision for the litigation taken for the previous settlements with the U.S. State Attorney Generals and a class of end payors, it said. The $385 million payment will be funded by Indivior’s existing cash and will be made in November, it added. “The resolution of this litigation, which was filed over a decade ago, provides greater certainty for all Indivior stakeholders and allows us to continue focusing on our important work for patients suffering from opioid use disorder and mental health illnesses,” Chief Executive Mark Crossley said. Indivior also said it expects its third-quarter net revenue to come in between $268 million and $273 million, up 17% on-year at the mid-point, and to post reported operating loss of between $178 million and $188 million for the period.
Europa Metals said it has completed a mining-license application for its wholly-owned Toral project in Spain. The mining company said Monday the submission sent to the governing body of Spanish region Castile and Leon forecasts a life-of-mine of 15 years and a mining average of 700,000 metric tons ore annually. The application forms part of the 2023 exploration agreement between the European-focused lead, zinc and silver developer and Canadian miner Denarius Metals, and in accordance with the farm-in agreement the two parties signed in November 2022. “We now look forward to continuing our work with Denarius over the coming years; 2024 will see the recommencement of drilling and work commence on a preliminary economic assessment,” Chairman and acting Chief Executive Myles Campion said.
OptiBiotix Health said it has agreed with Tata Chemicals to incorporate Tata’s Fossence ingredient into OptiBiotix’s SlimBiome and LeanBiome products for the Indian market. The U.K. life-sciences company said Monday that Fossence–a short-chain fructo-oligosaccharide–will be a direct replacement for the fructo-oligosaccharide already used in SlimBiome in other markets. Tata Chemicals has approved the use of the Fossence logo on products containing SlimBiome in India. Tata Chemicals describes Fossence as a prebiotic and dietary fiber made from fermented cane sugar, which selectively enhances the growth of beneficial microbiota in the gut. “Fossence’s established health benefits with Indian consumers and its trusted brand combined with SlimBiome’s strong science, clinical studies, and excellent customer reviews will help reduce hunger and food cravings to support the weight management efforts of India’s 135 million obese men and women,” Chief Executive Stephen O’Hara said.
Northern Bear said it has proposed to return up to 3.1 million pounds ($3.8 million) to shareholders through a tender offer, and that current performance is in line with expectations. The London-listed building-services provider on Monday said it seeks to acquire up to 5 million shares at a fixed price of 62 pence a share. This represents a premium of nearly 40% to Friday’s closing price of 44.5 pence prior to the announcement. The company it would fund the tender offer using its cash resources and an increase of GBP1.0 million to its existing debt facilities of GBP4.5 million. The tender offer would create an exit strategy for shareholders who wish to sell their investments and remove the prolonged uncertainty that an overhang of shares would create, it added. Northern Bear said that business continued to be in line with the board’s expectations and that site activity levels remain high despite economic challenges and their related impact on the construction industry.
Mission Group has cancelled its planned interim dividend and said it will miss full-year market forecasts given recent challenging trading conditions, and despite the first half-year meeting the board’s expectations.
The U.K. marketing company said Monday that it expects full year adjusted pretax profit to be no more than 3.1 million pounds ($3.8 million) due to significant losses and clients’ reduced spending. This compares with market expectations of GBP7.9 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization are expected to be no more than GBP9.0 million on the same basis, the company said. The interim dividend of 0.87 pence a share was due to be paid on Dec. 1. The company said it will review any final dividend based on trading conditions and its cash position at the time. “The board is extremely disappointed by the recent adverse change in current trading, and the outlook for the remainder of FY 2023,” Mission Group said. It added that the board believes the company’s strategy, when combined with operating cost reductions, leaves the group well positioned as markets improve. Net debt at Oct. 20 was approximately GBP25.5 million compared to GBP14.9 million on June 30.
Keller Group said Monday that it expects its operating profit for 2023 to materially beat views as trading momentum continued over its third quarter. The geotechnical specialist contractor didn’t provide current market expectations for the year. For 2022, it posted 108.6 million pounds ($132.1 million) in underlying operating profit and GBP67.8 million in statutory operating profit. Over the quarter ended Sept. 30, it said it saw weak demand in the residential and commercial sectors in Europe, with competitive pricing and macro challenges hitting its performance. Keller now expects a lower profitability improvement in the second half of the year for that business, it said. The London-listed group said its North American business benefited from operational improvements and resilient pricing over the quarter, adding that it expects the pricing benefit to moderate into 2024. The company also flagged strong performance in its Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa businesses.

Telecom Italia’s board of directors will meet month to examine a binding offer for its fixed-network business and a nonbinding bid for its stake in Sparkle submarine-cable unit made by private-equity group KKR. The Italian telecommunications said Sunday that its board will meet on Nov. 3 to evaluate the bids, hold an informal meeting the following day to continue discussions with management and advisors and meet again formally on Nov. 5 to deliberate.
