PEH Wertpapier (FRA:PEH) shareholders have earned a 14% CAGR over the last five years
Generally speaking the aim of active stock picking is to find companies that provide returns that are superior to the market average. And in our experience, buying the right stocks can give your wealth a significant boost. For example, long term PEH Wertpapier AG (FRA:PEH) shareholders have enjoyed a 43% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 17% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 27% in the last year, including dividends. With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During the last half decade, PEH Wertpapier became profitable. That would generally be considered a positive, so we'd hope to see the share price to rise. The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). Dive deeper into PEH Wertpapier's key metrics by checking this interactive graph of PEH Wertpapier's earnings, revenue and cash flow. It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of PEH Wertpapier, it has a TSR of 95% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! It's good to see that PEH Wertpapier has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 27% in the last twelve months. That's including the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 14% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Someone with an optimistic perspective could view the recent improvement in TSR as indicating that the business itself is getting better with time. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for PEH Wertpapier you should be aware of.

Llama Group SA Announces a Capital Increase via a Private Placement of € 1.000.000
BRUSSELS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Llama Group SA (Euronext Growth Paris and Brussels: ALLAM), ('Llama Group' or the 'Company'), a digital music company and owner of the Winamp platform, today announces a capital increase for a total gross amount of € 1.000.000, subscribed by a limited number of investors (the 'Private Placement'). 'I would like to thank investors for their trust. This fundraising represents a key milestone for Llama Group and highlights the importance of our project in the music industry,' said Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Llama Group. 'Investors have recognised the potential of Winamp and the ambition driving our platform, designed to meet the needs of artists in a rapidly evolving music landscape. We remain more committed than ever to building an independent and innovative solution serving creators.' Use of Proceeds This transaction is part of Llama Group's ongoing strategic development. The funds raised will be primarily used to support the commercial launch of its new platform Winamp for Creators, by financing the initial phases of its go-to-market strategy — a central pillar of Llama Group's growth strategy. In parallel, the Company will continue to invest in the development of its two flagship products, Winamp for Creators and the Winamp Player, with the goal of enhancing features, improving user experience, and strengthening its positioning in the digital music market. The proceeds will also enable the Company to cover current operating expenses and meet its short-term financial commitments, in a context where its existing cash position requires supplementary funding alongside existing financing arrangements. Given current market conditions and the Company's stage of development, the private placement route was deemed the most appropriate and efficient financing solution at this time. Terms of the Private Placement The capital increase is carried out under the authorised capital framework, via the issuance of 1.666.668 new ordinary shares (the 'New Shares') at a subscription price of 0,60 € per share, representing a discount of approximately 21% compared to the Company's closing share price on the day prior to the announcement. The Private Placement is exclusively reserved for qualified investors — as defined under Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 for subscribers located in the United States, and Article 2(e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 for those based in the European Economic Area — with the statutory preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders being waived in the corporate interest. The New Shares: will be ordinary shares carry the same rights as the existing shares; will be fully paid-up, without nominal value, and issued in dematerialised form; will be entitled to dividends for the financial year starting 1 January 2025 if any; An application has been be made for admission to trading of the New Shares on Euronext Growth Brussels and Euronext Growth Paris as from their settlement and delivery. The capital increase for an amount of € 1.000.000 will raise the Company's share capital from € 29.859.118,30 to € 30.859.119,10. As the issue price is below the accounting par value, the entire subscribed amount will be allocated to the 'capital' account, without any share premium, so that all shares – both existing and new – will have the same accounting par value after completion. Subject to the closing of the capital increase having occurred, the Board of Directors will convene an Extraordinary General Meeting within fifteen (15) days following such closing. This meeting will take place no later than forty (40) days following the closing. 1 During such meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve the issuance of 1.666.668 subscription rights ('Warrants') in favour of the investors who subscribed to the capital increase, without preferential subscription rights for existing shareholders. Each Warrant will entitle its holder to subscribe to one new ordinary share at an exercise price of 0,80 €, in accordance with the terms agreed between the Company and the investors. If a holder wishes to exercise its Warrants, it may do so only once for all Warrants owned by such holder, within five (5) years following the date on which the Warrants will have been effectively issued. The Company has committed to a 45-day standstill on the issuance of New Shares and transfer of shares of the Company, and the reference shareholder Maxximum SA has committed to a 60-day standstill on the transfer of shares of the Company, subject to customary and market-based exceptions. This structure enables Llama Group to quickly secure the resources needed while relying on professional investors able to support its long-term value creation strategy. Legal Basis of the Transaction In accordance with Article 7 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is authorised to increase the Company's share capital, in one or more tranches, until 4 March 2026, up to a maximum amount of € 22.841.742,87 (excluding any share premium), through the issuance of new shares, subscription rights or convertible bonds, via contributions in cash and/or in kind, with the ability to waive existing shareholders' preferential subscription rights. Immediately prior to this transaction, € 14.665.699,80 (excluding share premium) remained available under the authorised capital. Impact on Share Capital and Voting Rights Subject to the successful settlement and delivery of the New Shares, the Company's share capital will increase from € 29.859.118,30 to € 30.859.119,10, represented by 15.183.434 shares. The breakdown of the share capital and voting rights before and after the Private Placement is as follows: Before Private Placement Shareholders Shares Capital % Voting Rights Voting Rights % Maxximum SA 4,629,917 34.25% 8,615,636 49.23% Public 8,886,849 65.75% 8,886,849 50.77% Total 13,516,766 100.00% 17,502,485 100.00% Expand After Private Placement Shareholders Shares Capital % Voting Rights Voting Rights % Maxximum SA 4,629,917 30.49% 8,615,636 44.95% Public 10,553,517 69.51% 10,553,517 55.05% Total 15,183,434 100.00% 19,169,153 100.00% Expand Impact on Shareholders The stake of a shareholder holding 1% of the Company's share capital prior to the capital increase, and not participating in the Private Placement, would be diluted to approximately 0,89% following the issuance of 1.666.668 New Shares. In the event of full exercise of the 1.666.668 Warrants attached to the New Shares, this stake would be further reduced to approximately 0,80%. Financial Advisors Maxim Group LLC acted as placement agent and Allegra Finance acted as listing sponsor in the context of the Private Placement. The Private Placement is governed by agreements entered into between the Company and the placement. Risk Factors The public's attention is drawn to the risk factors relating to the Company and its business, as presented in the 2024 annual financial report published by the Company on April 1, 2025, available free of charge on its website ( The occurrence of some or all of these risks could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results, development, or outlook. Prospectus Exemption The Private Placement, which is exclusively reserved for qualified investors, is not subject to the obligation to publish a prospectus or information note approved by the FSMA, in accordance with Article 10, § 3, 1° of the Law of 11 July 2018 on public offers of investment instruments and admissions of investment instruments to trading on regulated markets. The admission of the New Shares to trading on Euronext Growth Brussels and Paris is governed by the Royal Decree of 23 September 2018 on the publication of an information note in the event of a public offer or admission to trading on an MTF. In this respect, a verification was carried out and confirmed that the number of New Shares to be issued represents 12,3% of the number of Llama Group shares already admitted to trading on Euronext Growth over the past twelve months — i.e. below the 20% regulatory threshold. As a result, the transaction satisfies the exemption conditions under Article 3 of the Royal Decree, and no information note will be published.
