BANKS LEAD GAINS IN EUROPE, HEALTHCARE DRAGS
European stocks are flashing green this morning, with the STOXX 600 .STOXX up 0.9% and investors breathing a sigh of relief.
Banks .SX7P are doing the heavy lifting, up 1.6%, but zooming in, it's a mixed bag.
State-owned Italian bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena is up 5.7%, building on Tuesday's 8.7% gain after it raised its profit outlook. On the other hand, Germany's Commerzbank CBKG.DE is down 5.1% after reporting an expected dip in second-quarter net profit.
Meanwhile, topping the FTSE, is British inter-dealer broker TP ICAP TCAPI.L, up over 8% after reporting a 10% rise in its half-year pre-tax profit.
Healthcare stocks .SXDP are the worst-off sector, down 0.5% as Danish drugmaker giant Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO said sales of its Wegovy and Ozempic weight-loss products undershot analysts' expectations in Q2. Novo shares are down 5.3%.
But standing out is German biotech company Evotec .EVTG.DE, with shares plunging over a third after it cut its revenue and earnings outlook.
German sportswear maker Puma PUMG.DE is down over 12% after narrowing its core profit outlook for 2024 and reporting Q2 EBIT miss.
