CTS Eventim

The entry of activist investor Ananym Capital Management and positive chart signals after a breakout above the 200-day line have strongly driven CTS Eventim shares. Ananym co‑founder Charlie Penner still sees 50–100% upside potential; in the short term key levels are €61.50 (former resistance), €64.50 (support) and then €67.50 and €70 as the next targets. Crucial, however, is the publication of Q3 figures on 12 November; only if there are no negative surprises could the rally mid-term reach the year high around €80. » More on finanzen.net

Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO of CTS Eventim, testified at the Berlin regional court and rejected any personal motive for his account of the meeting with Andreas Scheuer. He and Georg Kapsch reported an alleged offer by Scheuer to postpone contract awards for the car toll until the ECJ decision. Scheuer and his former state secretary Gerhard Schulz deny the allegations and say they do not recall any postponement offer. The trial will continue on 26 October with further witnesses from the companies involved. » More on finanzen.net

After the unexpected resignation of CFO Dr. William Willms, the stock briefly fell by double digits but recovered the loss within three trading days. JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank confirm positive ratings and price targets (€95 and €100 respectively) and point to the capital markets day on 20 November and Q3 figures on 12 November as potential share-price catalysts. The main risk remains higher inflation, which could weigh on consumer spending and thus the business model. » More on finanzen.net
