Heidelberg printing presses on the rise: Who will win on the capital market?

Heidelberg printing presses on the rise: Who will win on the capital market?

On July 18, 2025, fresh news will come from the capital market that will make investors sit up and take notice not only in Cologne, but also nationwide. During trading the day before, there were impressive winners, but also clear losers. According to the report by Stock Exchange Social Heidelberger Druckmaschinen shares gained an impressive 12.28%, followed by Suess Microtec with +6.36% and Callaway Golf with +6.21%. An exciting development that catapulted trading volume at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen to 346 times that of a normal day.

But the market also has its downsides: Paragon and Tele Columbus suffered heavy losses. While Paragon lost -5.86%, Tele Columbus fell by 7.14%. What is particularly notable is that Tele Columbus had no trading volume that day, which increases the uncertainty surrounding this stock.

Technical difficulties and market movements

The turbulence in such a market environment is often exacerbated by technical problems. On Monday, numerous brokerages such as Charles Schwab and Fidelity also had to contend with breakdowns. This technical glitch occurred during a significant market correction that affected the S&P 500 as well as the Nasdaq. Even major technology stocks could temporarily fall by up to 15 percent. Reports from Investment Week described the concerns of many investors who temporarily had no access to their trading platforms, which caused a lot of confusion.

Meanwhile, further technical difficulties were discovered on the Xetra trading platform. These contain information about current availability of the trading system and detailed information about disruptions. The Emergency Playbook, which can be found on the Xetra website, offers valuable instructions for such emergencies, an aspect that is particularly important in turbulent times like these. More information can be found at Xetra.

Outlook and recommendations

The current developments on the capital market are quite informative. In addition to the companies already mentioned, other stocks such as Addiko Bank, Palfinger and Vienna Airport are also in the focus of investors. It remains to be seen whether the positive or negative trend of the last few days will continue.

A look at the next few months could be of concern to investors. The key message here is: A good hand in stock selection is crucial, while technical failures on the trading platforms have already cast a shadow over trading processes. Particularly in volatile times, it is important to remain vigilant and not allow yourself to be fooled by sudden market developments.
