In Asian forex trading, the yen remained stable against the dollar ahead of the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision, while the dollar slightly rose against the yuan and Swiss franc. Oil prices dipped amid speculation of increased OPEC production, with North Sea Brent crude at $78.73 per barrel. US markets saw gains, with the Dow Jones up 0.3% and Netflix experiencing significant subscriber growth, boosting its shares nearly 10%. Concerns over Trump's tariff plans on Chinese imports weighed on the dollar, which faced headwinds as clarity on trade negotiations remained elusive.
In 2024, Swiss companies saw a surge in CFO changes, with one in four listed firms appointing new financial leaders, reflecting the need for refined skills amid economic challenges. Experts highlight the importance of collaboration between CEOs and CFOs, as well as the growing focus on communication and crisis management in the evolving role of the CFO.
The Swiss stock exchange opened lower, with the SMI Index down 1.07% at 11,293.27 points, influenced by Wall Street's weak close and Asian market performance. Investors are reacting to the Federal Reserve's cautious stance on interest rate cuts, while today's "witch's day" may lead to increased volatility in trading. Notable declines include UBS (-1.54%) amid the Credit Suisse report, and Logitech (-1.59%), while Richemont fared better with a smaller drop of -0.56%.
Swiss equities have stabilized, with financial stocks and the consumer sector showing strength, led by UBS, Logitech, and Givaudan, while Swatch and Lonza lag behind. In Japan, wholesale prices have risen for three consecutive months, driven by increased costs in food, non-ferrous metals, and plastics, prompting speculation of a potential interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan in December.
The video telemedicine market is projected to grow from $2.51 billion in 2023 to $5.67 billion by 2028, driven by the rise in chronic diseases and advancements in technology. Key players include Teladoc Health and Cisco Systems, with North America leading the market. Enhanced cybersecurity and personalized solutions are emerging trends shaping the industry's future.
The Swiss stock market closed mostly higher on November 28, 2024, with the SMI rising 0.57% to 11,709.80 points, despite a lack of significant market-moving news. Julius Baer led gains with a 2.1% increase, while technology stocks like Logitech also performed well amid easing US interest rates. Conversely, Swatch Group and Richemont saw declines, reflecting ongoing challenges in the luxury sector.
Logitech International S.A., a leading IT peripherals company, has been upgraded to Neutral by UBS. Its sales are diversified across various product families, with gaming accessories making up 28.6% and keyboards and combos at 19.1%. Geographically, 44.1% of sales come from the Americas, followed by Europe/Middle East/Africa at 30.3% and Asia/Pacific at 25.6%.
Logitech shares surged after UBS upgraded its rating from "sell" to "neutral," citing improved risk-reward dynamics following a significant price drop. The analysts highlighted effective cost management and increased gross margins for tablets and headsets, which may lead to an upward revision of FY25 earnings guidance. However, concerns remain regarding market share loss in gaming peripherals in China and competitive pressures from Chinese firms, alongside tariff exposure affecting U.S. revenues.
UBS has upgraded its recommendation on Logitech International from 'sell' to 'neutral', increasing the price target from 65 to 68 Swiss francs, citing an improved risk/reward ratio. The broker anticipates a potential management target increase soon but highlights ongoing competitive risks in China and other regions.
Logitech received an upgraded recommendation from UBS, as reported by Cercle Finance and published by BOURSORAMA. The analysis is provided for informational purposes only, with BOURSORAMA disclaiming any responsibility for its content and ensuring no conflicts of interest affect its objectivity.
