Raiffeisen Bank is compelled by a Kaliningrad court to purchase a 28.5 million share stake in Strabag from Rasperia for around two billion euros, despite EU sanctions against Rasperia's former owner, Oleg Deripaska.

The market reacted positively, with Strabag shares soaring to an all-time high following the court's decision.

Meanwhile, HSBC echoes these concerns, predicting a surplus in the coming years as supply growth outpaces demand.
