We'll explore how weak activity and...

Mersen (ENXTPA:MRN) caught investor attention after its shares took a steep dive, following the release of Q3 results that fell short of expectations. This was driven largely by sluggish performance in its solar power segment. See our latest analysis for Mersen. After gaining impressive ground for much of 2024, Mersen's share price has now swung sharply as recent weak solar segment results rattled the market. The stock dropped 18.3% in a single day but still holds a 12.4% year-to-date price...

With today’s share price now at €82.0, Wendel’s recent gains have helped stem some of this year’s declines, though momentum has been uneven.

Thinking about what’s next for Amundi’s stock? You are not alone. Whether you have held on through the years or are weighing a new position, it is hard to ignore a company that has delivered nearly 71% growth over the past three years. Even if the pace has slowed, with a 3.0% rise so far this year and a modest 1.0% bump just this past week, there is a sense that something is stirring beneath the surface. Some of that recent uplift comes on the back of Amundi’s push into new markets and the...

Sanofi (ENXTPA:SAN) delivered net profit margins of 14%, up from 9.3% a year ago, and last year’s earnings grew 73.6% after five years of average annual declines of 14.5%.
