FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - Following the previous day's slide to its lowest level since the end of 2014, Gerresheimer shares are heading for a recovery attempt on Wednesday. In Tradegate trading, the packaging manufacturer's share price rose by four percent compared to the Xetra closing price, as financial investors Warburg Pincus and KPS are apparently still in talks about a joint takeover. This was confirmed by KPS on Tuesday evening in response to an inquiry from Gerresheimer.
The day before, a report by the Bloomberg news agency had caused the shares to plummet to 42.48 euros. The report stated that KPS had decided against a bid.
Burdened by negative news, including forecast cuts and a dividend cap, the share has lost almost 40 percent of its value so far in 2025. This makes it the second-weakest MDax stock, even though the takeover talks have been known since February. From their high of 85 euros at the time, they have almost halved in value.
