Nationwide logistics space take-up after three quarters of 2026 stands at 5.5 million m², up 28% year‑on‑year and 9% above the ten‑year average, with the third quarter—at just under 2.2 million m²—the strongest result since Q2 2022. Drivers are logistics providers for e‑commerce, companies in the defence sector and manufacturing firms; locations outside major logistics hubs are growing particularly strongly (+51%). While prime and average rents are rising nationwide, top markets such as Munich and Berlin often lack available space, and the share of new-builds has fallen to a ten‑year low. BNP Paribas Real Estate expects a significantly better full‑year result than the previous year due to a high number of contracts and ongoing negotiations. » More on finanzen.net

Rising yields on European government bonds, notably France’s 10‑year yield around 4.9%, are weighing on bank stocks and hitting BNP Paribas hard. French banks have lost more since early September than the Euro Stoxx Banks index; BNP Paribas broke the 200‑day line as a technical sell signal. Despite the share price declines, the stock appears cheap with an expected P/E (KGV) of 7, and the anticipated dividend yield is 6.6% for 2026 rising to 8.4% for 2028. Analysts see a valuation discount of about 30%, and investors should monitor political risk developments. » More on deraktionaer.de
