MDAX Equity Plummets Significantly
In a steep decline on Monday, shares of MDAX-listed company Thyssenkrupp faced significant pressure, having already lost eight percent in pre-market trading. The cause of this sharp decline stems from the company's subsidiaries, as U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of proposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports unnerved investors.
Thyssenkrupp now faces additional hurdles beyond high energy prices, fierce competition from China, declining steel prices, and its own turnaround, with these import restrictions adding to its challenges. However, this potential adversity might also offer an anticyclical buying opportunity for investors.
With the tariffs yet to be implemented, as demonstrated by the examples of Canada and Mexico, it could be beneficial for investors to assess Thyssenkrupp's situation in the current market environment. The company had shown a strong rally on the stock market prior to the recent sell-off. The chart situation of Thyssenkrupp still points to a continuation of the rally despite the correction, and BOERSE ONLINE recently recommended the title for purchase in its "Chart Signal of the Week" section, with a price target of €5.00. The stop set at €3.20 is not at risk following Monday's sell-off.
According to recent financial reports, Thyssenkrupp's second-quarter results fell short of expectations due to weak revenues and order intake, as well as a challenging market environment. Despite these pressures, the company managed to turn a net profit for the quarter and reiterated its full-year guidance.
