Market Swings: Gains and Losses in Stock Trading
Stock Market Movers: Bracing for the Week's Champion and Chump on German and Global Markets!
Every Sunday, financial rag €uro am Sonntag puts the spotlight on handpicked stocks, both national and international, showcasing the previous week's high-flyers and belly-floppers - a must-read for any market maven! For the week of January 10-16, 2025, the top dog in Germany was none other than SMA Solar, skyrocketing an impressive 7.1%. From the ashes of a crushed year (-69%), SMA Solar rose like a phoenix thanks to a study by Jefferies. The bullish report boosted the struggling stock at the week's kick-off, with analysts upgrading their ratings from "Hold" to "Buy" and nearly doubling their price target from 11 to 20 euros. Fancy a 27.9% gain? You bet! Jefferies predicts a comeback for cyclical stocks as the economy recovers, and believes SMA Solar's stock price has hit rock bottom, paving the way for growth. On the flip side, Moderna, the global pitfall of the same period, suffered another blow after slashing its revenue forecast for the current fiscal year from $2.5 to $3.5 billion to a bleak $1.5 to $2.5 billion. With a target date for positive operating cash flow pushed back to 2028, the stock plummeted. Why the woes? Moderna's Q4 estimate looks dismal, with a mere $475 million in revenues. Of course, to learn who else has made the charts and crashed on the global scene, dive into the fresh issue of €uro am Sonntag - the go-to paper for the weekend!
