For Europe, the prime concern is tariffs," wrote Goldman analysts. "If the entire impact came in 2025 this would be enough to eliminate any growth that year (our current top-down forecast is 4%)," Goldman wrote. Within sectors, beneficiaries of rising trade risks tend to be defensive stocks such as utilities, health care as well as Europe's GRANOLAS stocks, according to the bank. But he says a "meaningful selloff" in mega tech will see other names "pushed down as collateral damage." And if the AI narrative plays out as expected, a material sell-off in Mega Tech will present a buying opportunity in those names as well," he wrote.

☆ Barclays reveals 10 debt-laden global stocks at risk from higher interest rates
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-28 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Barclays has identified the European stocks that are most at risk of taking a hit to profits over rising interest payments for debt over the next two years. During the coronavirus pandemic, central banks cut interest rates to historic lows, enabling companies to borrow debt at very favorable rates. The table below shows the 10 stocks Barclays expects to have the biggest increase in interest costs through to 2025. Since interest costs are integral to real estate business models, the impact on margins and profits could be much more severe, the bank's analysts said. The Barclays team is confident that while interest rates can hurt company bottom lines, there was "scant" evidence that showed there was systemic risk.

Rising commodity prices, increased regulation and a growing recognition of sustainability benefits are set to be "key catalysts" of the circular economy, Goldman Sachs said, naming its "conviction list" stocks to play the theme.

Both are on the bank's "conviction list" of top buy-rated stocks.

That’s unsettling for the likes of Siemens, $62 billion carmaker Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and $39 billion chemicals group BASF (BASFn.DE). Factor in the German group’s 32% stake in Siemens Energy (ENR1n.DE) and 75% holding in Siemens Healthineers (SHLG.DE), currently worth 46 billion euros, and it adds up to 156 billion euros. The unit and Siemens’ Airport Logistics unit, which press reports say could be another divestment candidate, may only be worth 4 billion euros combined. Moreover, Kaeser already tried to boost Siemens’ valuation by partially spinning off subsidiaries. As of September, Siemens had bought back 2.5 billion euros of shares since starting a 3 billion euro share repurchase programme in November 2021.

The group's shares slid as much as 6.7% however, putting them on track for their biggest one-day drop since April. JPMorgan said in a note that the overall picture looked "incrementally challenging" after important performance indicators, including for its flagship software platform 3DEXPERIENCE and clinical trial platform Medidata, slowed in the quarter. For the third quarter, Dassault Systemes expects revenue to reach between 1.4 billion and 1.42 billion euros, diluted earnings to come in between 0.26 and 0.27 euros per share, and an operating margin of between 30.2 and 30.5%.

Bank of America has dubbed global companies exposed to the demand for generative artificial intelligence solutions as "winners," picking stocks across the software and IT services sectors. It described the AI opportunity within the software industry as "undeniably vast" in a research note dated 12 July, and ranked European companies in the sector. "Huge quantities of data about a company's operations are held within a company's ERP system which makes the software vital in any generative AI integration," BofA's analysts stated. "We see gen AI as an opportunity for the Software industry to derive both potential revenue uplift via enhanced value proposition and data monetization, alongside productivity improvements," the bank said. BofA also looked at the effect of generative AI on the IT services industry and said implications "are the most polarised," noting concerns over drops in sales due to tasks being automated.
