The German economy faces strong headwinds despite data showing that Europe's largest exporter of goods returned to economic growth in the third quarter, beating analysts' estimates.&nbsp;
The economy <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.destatis.de/EN/Press/2024/10/PE24_408_811.html">grew by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter in Q3</a>, from an initial -0.1% in Q2, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reported today. But it shrank by 0.2% on the year in Q3 after price and calendar adjustments, Destatis said. Analysts had a Q3 forecast of -0.1%.

German inflation accelerated to 2% in October from 1.6% in September, or well <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/calendar">above the expected 1.8%</a>, Destatis <a href="https://www.destatis.de/EN/Press/2024/10/PE24_409_611.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data showed today</a>. Food prices, which accelerated 2.3% in October from 1.6% in September, and higher energy prices drove inflation higher.&nbsp;
The German DAX40 declined 1.1% today, closing at 19,266.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">German Economy Remains Stuck In Stagflation</h3>
Though positive, the German economy, Europe's largest, faces considerable challenges due to both cyclical and structural headwinds.
"The German economy avoided a technical recession in the third quarter, showing unexpected growth," <a href="https://think.ing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ING Think</a> said. "However, <a href="https://think.ing.com/snaps/german-gdp-q3-24/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this does not change the fact that the</a> economy remains stuck in stagnation.&#8221;&nbsp;
Germany revised its second quarter's contraction to -0.3% quarter-on-quarter from the initial -0.1%. This "somewhat dampened" the "positive surprise," ING Think said. &nbsp;
The rise in GDP growth coincided with an improvement in consumer sentiment in November, though the level still remains low, a survey showed on Tuesday. The Gfk German Consumer Climate Index <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://nielseniq.com/global/en/news-center/2024/germany-consumer-climate-climbs-to-its-highest-level-since-april-2022/">is forecast to rise by 2.7 points to -18.3 points</a> in November compared to the previous month.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">German Economy Hurt By Crises, Wars</h3>
Although this was the highest level in Gfk German Consumer Climate Index since April 2022, Germans are "pessimistic about overall economic development," the survey said.
"The <a href="https://nielseniq.com/global/en/news-center/2024/germany-consumer-climate-climbs-to-its-highest-level-since-april-2022/">uncertainty caused by crises</a>, wars and rising prices is still very much present," Rolf Bürkl, consumer expert at the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions, said.&nbsp;
"Reports of a rising number of company insolvencies and plans to cut jobs or relocate production abroad are also preventing a more significant recovery in consumer sentiment," Bürkl added.
 Volkswagen (OTC:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VWAGY">VWAGY</a>), for example, announced on Monday the<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-plans-major-layoffs-shut-least-three-german-plants-works-council-head-2024-10-28/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> closure of three German factories</a> and potential mass layoffs. <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/volkswagen-considers-first-ever-closure?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">High operating costs, a weak electric vehicle lineup</a>, and diminishing demand in key markets drove the decision.&nbsp;
The group is closing factories to cut costs while a looming trade war with China weighs on sentiment after the European Union <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/europe-carmakers-criticize-eus-chinese?r=3nmatg">(EU) imposed tariffs on electric vehicles</a>.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Volkswagen's Costs Rise, As Layoffs Loom</h3>
Facing pressure from intense competition and rising energy and labor expenses, <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/148759456?referrer=%2Fpublish%2Fposts">Volkswagen has taken unprecedented steps to close plants</a> on German soil. This is the first time it had done so in the company's 87-year history.
Volkswagen brand <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/curriculum-vitae-thomas-schaefer-7819">CEO Thomas Schäfer </a>pointed out the <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-28/vw-eyes-closing-three-german-factories-in-cost-cutting-push">problems in domestic production</a>, as plants operate 25-50% above the firm's target expenses. "We are not productive enough at our German locations," Schäfer stated, stressing the urgent need for cost cuts.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen's works council head Daniela Cavallo called the plan "a starvation, a weakening in installments" that threatens "tens of thousands of jobs in Germany."
"Management is absolutely serious about all this," she said. "This is not saber-rattling in the collective bargaining round."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">German Economy Will Feel Strain Of Plant Closures</h3>
The closures are poised to further strain the German economy, sparking concerns about the long-term future of its industrial economy. GDP <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/german-recession-fears-rise-after?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">is already forecasted to contract for a second consecutive year</a>.
Volkswagen's main restructuring plan sees salary freezes for 2025 and 2026 and a reduction in existing salary levels by at least 10%. It will abolish one-off payments for workers who have stayed at the company for 25 and 35 years. This could <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-28/vw-eyes-closing-three-german-factories-in-cost-cutting-push">impact up to 140,000 workers</a>.
In response, workers protest the proposed changes in Wolfsburg, home to the company's headquarters. The powerful IG Metall union has <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.industriall-union.org/ig-metall-members-commence-warning-strikes">threatened strikes</a> by December if no agreement is reached.
VW (OTCPK: VLKAF) shares fell to €88.92, reaching the second-lowest point in 2024, far below the intra-year peak of €123.30.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">EU Tariffs On China's EVs Will Hurt German Economy</h3>
As Volkswagen shutters plants, the EU has introduced <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/business/european-union-china-electric-vehicle-tariffs.html">new tariffs</a> on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from China. This will escalate trade tensions over Chinese subsidies, which may have a significant impact on German car manufacturers.&nbsp;
As of October 30, the EU introduced tariffs ranging between 7.8% and 35.3% on Chinese EV makers. This is in addition to the existing 10% import duty, with the highest surcharge applied to vehicles from Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC.&nbsp;
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce dismissed the tariffs as "trade protectionism" and has vowed to safeguard Chinese businesses' interests. It <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/metals/103024-china-files-wto-dispute-against-eus-countervailing-duties-on-imports-of-chinese-evs">lodged a complaint</a> with the World Trade Organization.
Volkswagen's financial chief, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.volkswagen-group.com/en/images/detail/arno-antlitz-cfo-and-coo-volkswagen-group-and-oliver-blume-ceo-volkswagen-group-81417">Arno Antlitz</a>, cautioned that "under a tariffs regime, an industry only loses time." He warned that Chinese automakers might still access the market through European-based production.
This tactic is underway, with Chinese automakers BYD and Leapmotor s<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/19/business/china-automakers-eu-tariffs.html#:~:text=In%20July%2C%20Turkey%20announced%20that,be%20subject%20to%20the%20tariffs.">etting up production facilities </a>in Europe and Turkey to sidestep tariffs.&nbsp;
"In a world in which, at least in manufacturing, China has become the new Germany,' Germany's old macro business model of cheap energy and easily accessible large export markets is no longer working," ING Think said. "Looking ahead, there is very little reason to expect any imminent relief."

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) will likely highlight the performance of its iPhone 16 and upcoming product releases when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close Thursday. </a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect the Cupertino, California-based company to report fourth-quarter revenue of $94.56 billion, up from $89.5 billion in last year's fourth quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent103024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Apple has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.53, up from $1.46 reported in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.
What Analysts Are Saying: The iPhone 16 will be one of the key items analysts are watching in the earnings report and conference call.
"iPhone 16 demand has been relatively stable year-over-year and better-than-feared given more cautious data points around shorter lead-times relative to year-ago and production cuts," Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41554508/apple-q4-earnings-preview-goldman-sachs-analyst-anticipates-big-earnings-beat-resilient-iphone-16-d">recently said.</a>
Ng reiterated a Buy rating on Apple with a $275 price target recently.
The analyst said Apple's push into artificial intelligence with Apple Intelligence could be a "long-term demand driver."
Another area Ng will be watching closely in Apple's report is the company's Services segment, which could be underestimated by investors.
"Apple&#8217;s installed base growth, secular growth in services, and new product innovation should more than offset cyclical headwinds to product revenue, such as a reduced iPhone unit demand due to a lengthening replacement cycle and reduced consumer demand for the PC &amp; tablet category."
Lower lead times for the iPhone 16 could signal a lack of demand for the newest version of the popular Apple smartphone, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41350919/apple-analyst-predicts-a-september-quarter-revenue-beat-allays-fears-over-shorter-i"> recently said.</a>
The analyst, who has an Overweight rating and $273 price target on Apple, said while the data for lead times was bad for the iPhone 16, it could be better than the previous iPhone 15.
Lower lead times could also be a factor of Apple being more proactive with its suppliers in keeping inventory in check to avoid supply constraints, Woodring said.
"We believe that better supply conditions are one of the contributing factors to why iPhone lead times are shorter this cycle than in recent cycles," Woodring said.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on Apple </a>and their price targets:
<ul>
<li>KeyBanc: Downgraded from Sector-weight to Underweight with $200 price target</li>
<li>Piper Sandler: Reiterated Neutral rating with $225 price target</li>
<li>Bank of America: Reiterated Buy rating with $256 price target</li>
<li>Barclays: Maintained Underweight rating with $186 price target</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: All eyes will be on the iPhone 16 when Apple reports fourth-quarter results Thursday.
Other items that investors will be watching include Services, the initial rollout of Apple Intelligence and China.
<ul>
<li>Services hit an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40116376/apple-q3-earnings-beat-expectations-tim-cook-highlights-breakthrough-ai-platform-installed-base-of-"> all-time record</a> for revenue in the third quarter but came in below Street estimates.</li>
<li>Weakness in China for the third quarter contributed to shares seeing downward pressure after the earnings results.</li>

</ul>
Price Action: Apple stock is down 1% to $230.38 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $164.08 to $237.49. Apple stock is up 24% year-to-date in 2024.

On Tuesday, Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) reported third-quarter sales of $12.823 billion, up 9% (+10% on constant currency), beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41598312/novartis-q3-earnings-beats-expectations-on-strong-sales-from-key-drugs-lifts-2024-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $12.76 billion</a>.
Guidance: Novartis also raised its 2024 full-year guidance again this year.
In a statement, Novartis said it expects full-year core operating income to grow by a &#8220;high teens&#8221; percentage, compared with previous guidance of a &#8220;mid-to-high teens&#8221; percentage.
Novartis forecasts full-year sales growth in the low double digits, having previously guided for high-single to low-double-digit growth.
Pelabresib filing was further delayed, triggering a $800 million impairment charge related to the $2.9 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38497134/morphosys-says-novartis-deal-progressing-steadily-despite-safety-concerns-over-bone-marrow-cancer" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquisition of MorphoSys</a>.
Earlier this year, MorphoSys faced&nbsp;a burgeoning safety concern surrounding&nbsp;pelabresib.
Goldman Sachs notes that MorphoSys-related impairment charge is somewhat underwhelming, raising doubts about the company&#8217;s M&amp;A strategy.
Truist notes that Novartis is concentrating on preparing the market for the PSMAFore label, which is expected to triple its addressable market.
They also pointed out that growth opportunities in China and Japan, and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and oligometastatic disease, could push Pluvicto&#8217;s sales well above the projected $2 billion peak.
The company is committed to maximizing the potential of Pluvicto and its radioligand therapy (RLT) portfolio.
For other radiopharmaceutical companies targeting PSMA, entering this market may become more challenging.
A crucial question remains regarding the standards that must be met to compete with more effective radioligand products. This context relates to companies such as Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>), which have RLT products in their pipelines, as well as smaller companies, including Y-mAbs Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YMAB#NASDAQ">YMAB</a>) and Perspective Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CATX#NASDAQ">CATX</a>).
Novartis highlighted continued strong growth and momentum and sees room to grow the market size for B-cell inhibition in multiple sclerosis, relating Biogen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>).
Truist highlights Novartis&#8217; strong balance sheet, which enables further bolt-on deals and share buybacks. Recent transactions primarily involve deals in the sub-$1 billion range, along with a few larger bolt-on acquisitions.
A Truist analyst indicated that they will be monitoring how the adoption of Leqvio may affect Amgen Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) Repatha and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) Praluent. Meanwhile, Novartis has reported that the launch is advancing smoothly, and Leqvio continues to grow, outpacing the overall market as per the management.
Novartis&#8217; Cosentyx witnessed strong uptake and continued brand growth driven by hidradenitis suppurativa expansion, and the market opportunity can accommodate several players, Abbvie Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NASDAQ">ABBV</a>), Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INCY#NASDAQ">INCY</a>), and Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KYMR#NASDAQ">KYMR</a>).
