BeBeez roundup with eToro support about the performances of private capital firms listed on global exchanges.
Uncertainty about the tariffs that Donald Trump’s administration aims to implement impacted listed private capital firms last week. After initial sharp declines in the first few days, investors recovered mainly with hedging transactions. However, market participants don’t rule out a more restrictive policy of the Fed that may raise interest rates for the duties inflationary pressures, while in the Euro area Germany’s expansionary fiscal policy could boost yields.
The stocks that BeBeez selected on eToro portal for Trading Floor closely tracked the previous week’s performance (see here a previous post by BeBeez). Only four stocks out of 45 closed the week up on the previous Friday. Three of these, however, posted gains of less than 2%. However, on 14 March, Friday, Frankfurt-listed turnaround investor Mutares closed up 22%.
The reason of such an outstanding performance lies in Rearm Europe, a defence investments programme of 800 billion euros that EU Commission chairwoman Ursula Von der Leyen announced. Such governments expenses will get an exemption from the Stability Pact. Germany will gain greater benefit from such a programme. Italian defense company Leonardo gained 37% in the last month, Austrian Steyr, of which Mutares has 71%, also increased its market capitalization.
US Private debt firm Cion Investment Corp has been a sell on the news even though 2024 results have been in line with analysts’ expectations (statement) with a net investment income of 0,35 US Dollars and a 0,1 US Dollars dividend.
