UBS has maintained a "Neutral" rating for Henkel with a target price of 84 euros. Analyst Guillaume Delmas anticipates a 0.8 percent decline in the company's sales on a comparable basis for the first quarter. The outlook was shared ahead of the report's release.
Public finances in Europe, particularly in Germany, have limited capacity to contribute to economic efforts due to European constraints. The "Draghi" and "Letta" reports emphasize the need to mobilize private savings for productive investment, highlighting the Savings and Investment Union (SIU) project aimed at reducing capital market fragmentation. Political and legal barriers must be addressed for effective savings allocation.

BNP Paribas Exane has downgraded Hochtief AG's stock rating from Outperform to Neutral, while raising the price target from EUR139.00 to EUR163.00, citing the stock's significant appreciation over the past year. Despite praising the company's strategic direction, analysts suggest taking profits due to limited near-term upside potential. Hochtief's stock has risen approximately 50% in the last 12 months and 20% year-to-date, prompting a more cautious investment outlook.
Political uncertainty and potential new tariffs are impacting investment plans in the U.S. and Europe, with the U.S. economy growing at about 2% while Europe remains stagnant. The European Commission's defense plan lacks convincing substance, and the German fund for infrastructure may have limited effects on competitiveness. Meanwhile, China's technology sector is thriving, with significant gains in AI and automotive advancements, suggesting a rotation in investment opportunities across geographic areas.
Deutsche Bank anticipates a surge in M&A activity in Asia Pacific, driven by a strong pipeline of sponsor-driven deals and a convergence in valuation expectations for take-private transactions, particularly in Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong. The bank is also focusing on digital infrastructure, expecting continued consolidation in this sector. With a robust track record, Deutsche Bank aims to provide clients with both local expertise and global execution capabilities to navigate complex cross-border deals.
Noah Ramos, a former Deutsche Bank VP, was fired for allegedly making an insensitive "Hello Kitty" comment, which he claims was a pretext for his dismissal due to his whistleblowing on the bank's accounting practices. He is now suing for $100 million, asserting that the bank's HR actions were excessive and that his termination was unjust. Meanwhile, traders are thriving amid market volatility, with significant revenue growth in equities and macro trading, while banks are shifting their focus away from Canary Wharf to the City.
Birgit Rutishauser, deputy to Finma Director Stefan Walter and head of the insurance division, is leaving the financial markets supervisory authority after nine years for new professional challenges, with her last day on April 30. She served as acting director for six months following Urban Angehrn's resignation and received praise for her leadership during a challenging period. Finma also announced an organizational reorganization, creating a new cross-division for "integrated risk expertise" and merging the Markets and Asset Management divisions.
Italian inflation surged in March, while German inflation dipped slightly. Marine Le Pen was convicted of embezzling EU funds, facing prison and a five-year election ban, raising concerns about France's governance. The ECB may keep interest rates steady in April, influencing the euro's strength.
UBS has reaffirmed its neutral recommendation for Henkel's stock, maintaining a price target of €84, indicating a potential upside of 14%. The firm anticipates a -0.8% organic sales decline for the Henkel Group in Q1, driven by a -5.0% contraction in consumer brands. Recently, Henkel completed the sale of its private label business in North America, finalizing its product portfolio optimization.
