Western Europe's diesel car share close to falling below 10% in June
Six of the 17 markets included in this analysis now have diesel shares below 5% while 11 have shares below 10%. Germany's diesel market remains more than twice as large as the second placed country (Italy) but is now starting to fall significantly, dipping below a 20% share in June and losing 20k units of diesel car sales versus June 2024.
A key underlying reason is of course the requirement to work towards meeting the stricter EU CO2 target which, though now averaged over the years 2025-2027, has precipitated an uptick in the region's plug-in market so far this year. To June, BEV sales across Europe are up 30%year-on-year.
After being broadly similar through 2023 and 2024, BEV sales have finally opened up a clear lead over diesel, spurred on by the changing EU CO2 regulatory framework. It seems unlikely that diesel could ever outsell BEV from this point forward.

ECB's Nagel Says Holding Rates Makes Sense After Eight Cuts
Keeping European Central Bank interest rates unchanged this week was appropriate after inflation reached its 2% target and uncertainty around US tariffs remained high, according to Governing Council member Joachim Nagel. With eight cuts in the deposit rate in a year, monetary policy has contributed significantly to reducing price pressure, Nagel said in an emailed statement. 'It now makes sense to hold.'

Institutions profited after Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft's (ETR:BEI) market cap rose €905m last week but private companies profited the most
Key Insights The considerable ownership by private companies in Beiersdorf indicates that they collectively have a greater say in management and business strategy 58% of the company is held by a single shareholder (Maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA) 25% of Beiersdorf is held by Institutions This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. A look at the shareholders of Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:BEI) can tell us which group is most powerful. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are private companies with 58% ownership. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. Private companies gained the most after market cap touched €25b last week, while institutions who own 25% also benefitted. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Beiersdorf. View our latest analysis for Beiersdorf What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Beiersdorf? Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. Beiersdorf already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Beiersdorf, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. Hedge funds don't have many shares in Beiersdorf. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is Maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA with 58% of shares outstanding. This essentially means that they have extensive influence, if not outright control, over the future of the corporation. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 3.7% and 3.4% of the stock. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. Insider Ownership Of Beiersdorf The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft in their own names. However, it's possible that insiders might have an indirect interest through a more complex structure. It is a very large company, so it would be surprising to see insiders own a large proportion of the company. Though their holding amounts to less than 1%, we can see that board members collectively own €112 worth of shares (at current prices). It is good to see board members owning shares, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying. General Public Ownership With a 17% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Beiersdorf. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. Private Company Ownership Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 58%, of the company's shares. It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company. Next Steps: I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Many find it useful to take an in depth look at how a company has performed in the past. You can access this detailed graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flow. But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.

SAP SE Just Beat Analyst Forecasts, And Analysts Have Been Updating Their Predictions
Shareholders might have noticed that SAP SE (ETR:SAP) filed its quarterly result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 7.2% to €245 in the past week. The result was positive overall - although revenues of €9.0b were in line with what the analysts predicted, SAP surprised by delivering a statutory profit of €1.45 per share, modestly greater than expected. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on SAP after the latest results. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from SAP's 31 analysts is for revenues of €37.3b in 2025. This reflects a modest 3.9% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to increase 4.0% to €5.84. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €37.4b and earnings per share (EPS) of €5.91 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates. Check out our latest analysis for SAP The analysts reconfirmed their price target of €286, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on SAP, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €345 and the most bearish at €192 per share. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view. Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that SAP's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 7.9% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 5.6% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 11% annually. It seems obvious that, while the future growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, SAP is expected to grow slower than the wider industry. The Bottom Line The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that SAP's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates. Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for SAP going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
