Stocks on the Decline:

Gerresheimer (-30%) collapses after postponing its annual results. The group reports accounting violations committed by employees, with expected write-downs of €220 to €240 million. Its American subsidiary Centor will be sold to clean up the balance sheet.

Dassault Systèmes (-20%) tumbles after disappointing 2025 results, with revenue at €6.24 billion versus an expected €6.3 billion. The group offers cautious guidance for 2026, targeting growth of 3 to 5%, with the first quarter expected to decline.

Kempower (-11%) plummets despite a record order book of €95.1 million in the fourth quarter. Operating profit drops to -€4.2 million, compared to an expected +€2.5 million. The group, however, anticipates growth of 10 to 30% in 2026.

Karnov Group (-11%) stumbles on sales of SEK 665 million, versus SEK 680 million expected in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITA of SEK 172 million misses the consensus of SEK 176 million. The absence of an ordinary dividend weighs on the stock, offset by a SEK 500 million share buyback.

Barratt Redrow (-7%) falls despite a performance described as "resilient." Adjusted half-year profit drops 13.6% to £199.9 million, while revenue climbs 11% to £2.63 billion. The builder confirms its annual guidance between £558 million and £617 million.

Eramet (-5%) suffers a double blow. Fitch downgrades its rating from BB- to B, anticipating net debt above €2 billion by the end of 2025. Indonesia imposes a reduced quota of 12 million tonnes on PT Weda Bay Nickel, compared to 42 million tonnes in 2025.
