Top-Flop Ranking in the DAX 40
The performance is based on Xetra prices and includes the entire trading week:
- Zalando: With –5.21%, the biggest loser, likely driven by weak consumption data or industry-specific risks.
- adidas: Decline of –4.75%, possibly due to margin pressure or changed sales expectations.
- Porsche: Minus of –3.99%, potentially impacted by economic concerns in key markets or supply chain issues.
- Münchener Rück: Decline of –3.88%, which could indicate increased claim burdens or interest rate change risks.
Market Context
The DAX slightly benefited from a positive European environment (+0.3% on 30.04.), while US indices later suffered from weak economic data (Q1 GDP shrank by 0.3%). However, the recovery towards the weekend (closing over 23,000 points) indicates a short-term willingness to take risks.
Relevance for Investors
The performance underscores the importance of sectoral differentiation. Consumer goods and insurance sectors were under pressure, while other sectors remained stable. The combination of macroeconomic uncertainty and individual stock developments requires active portfolio management.
