Lang & Schwarz just served up a reminder that the stock and the story are not the same thing. The share price closed at €19.45 on the day of the release, a level that still leaves a wide gap to the implied fair value and follows a 3 month slide. Yet the new half year report shows a business that is printing much higher earnings on a very low P/E. The headline this time is profit quality. Net income for the first half of 2026 came in at €48.4m on revenue of €818.8m, which continues the recent...

First half net income reached €549 million, supported by higher basic earnings per share. See our latest analysis for Uniper.

The market has been warming to Angler Gaming, with the stock up about 41% over the past week. However, today's Q2 numbers tell a more nuanced story for this illiquid online gaming stock. Revenue held at €8.45m while basic earnings per share came in at €0.0318, slightly below Q1. The main takeaway is that profit generation remains solid after last year's sharp recovery in margins. For investors, the question now is whether this steady profitability can justify the low 5.3x P/E as the recent...

Logistri Fastighets went into this report with a muted share price, flat over the past week and down over the past three months, even as its valuation metrics looked modest against peers. The headline today is not the revenue line; it is the sudden squeeze in profitability. Net income in Q2 landed at 23.027 million SEK on 54.648 million SEK of revenue, a sharp step down from the very rich margins seen in recent quarters and flattered by earlier one off gains. For a real estate owner built on...

CTS Eventim KGaA walked into this earnings season with a rich P/E of 18.5x and a share price that has drifted only modestly higher over the past month. The stock now trades near €59, while a discounted cash flow estimate points far above that level, which means expectations were already complicated before the numbers hit. The headline is clear for today. Revenue for Q2 reached about €899m with basic earnings per share at €0.59, and management backed this up by keeping full year guidance in...

PFISTERER Holding stock has been sliding quietly for months, with the share price down about 28% over 90 days. Yet the latest quarter delivered the kind of numbers many investors say they want from an electrical infrastructure specialist. Q2 revenue reached €129.8m and basic earnings per share came in at €1.11, helped by an adjusted EBITDA margin close to 20% and a record €340m order book. The gap between the weak share price and robust operating momentum is now the central question for...

CTS Eventim KGaA (XTRA:EVD) is back in focus after reporting higher second quarter and first half 2026 earnings, supported by Live Entertainment, Ticketing expansion, and early revenue from its LA28 Olympic Games ticketing contract. See our latest analysis for CTS Eventim KGaA. The earnings release appears to have supported a 1-day share price return of 2.06% and a 90-day share price return of 5.51%.

tonies stock closed at €11.64 on 20 August after a choppy week that left shorter term holders nursing a 6% slide over seven days. Yet the headline from H1 2026 is not the share price. Revenue reached €242.9m and unit momentum in Tonieboxes and figurines set a strong top line pace, while the company still reported a net loss of €27.3m. For traders focused on the red ink, the move may feel justified. Long term investors will care more about what this mix of rapid revenue growth and thin margins...

This article highlights 3 stocks from our Global Insurance and Risk Management screener that appear particularly exposed to today’s...

TAG Immobilien AG has released its second-quarter and first-half 2026 results, reporting higher sales of €130.02 million for the quarter and €258.83 million for the half-year, while quarterly net income fell to €76.45 million and half-year net income to €110.27 million compared with the prior-year periods.

HomeToGo came into this earnings print as a deeply out of favour travel stock, with the share price down roughly 25% over the past three months and trading at about €0.91. The market has been treating it like a low growth, subscale platform. The headline from Q2 tells a different story. Revenue reached €101.04 million and the company reported a loss of €8.764 million, while adjusted EBITDA for the first half improved to a loss of €15.1 million, alongside positive unlevered free cash flow of...

After a difficult three years in which Hugo Boss shares have fallen about 41.6%, the stock now trades around €37.59 and the valuation checks point to a picture that looks neither clearly cheap nor clearly expensive. The share price decline of about 41.6% over three years suggests long term holders have absorbed a significant drawdown that raises the bar for any fresh investment case. Frasers Group lifting its stake to nearly 48% can support confidence in Hugo Boss, while ongoing challenges...
