**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** Okay, here’s a 400-word summary of the text, followed by a German translation: **Summary (English)** Shares of 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) experienced a week of relative stability despite “soft” earnings. The core of the company’s business remains robust, according to analysis. A key factor impacting the recent profit figures is a significant €281 million expense attributed to “unusual items.” While these one-off costs are typically temporary, they significantly weakened 1&1’s statutory profit for the year ending June 2025. The report emphasizes that these unusual items are frequently isolated events, aligning with standard accounting practices. Despite the impact on the reported profit, analysts are cautiously optimistic about the company’s future potential. They highlight the need to consider other vital financial metrics beyond the immediate profit figures, including margins, growth forecasts, and return on investment. Furthermore, the article suggests further investigation into potential risks 1&1 faces, citing two specific warning signs. Investors are encouraged to delve deeper into the company’s financial health by exploring factors such as return on equity and insider holdings. The report clarifies that this analysis focuses solely on one factor—unusual items—and stresses the importance of a broader, more comprehensive evaluation. It explicitly states that Simply Wall St has no position in any of the stocks discussed and that this article is for informational purposes only, not as financial advice. It’s crucial to remember that the analysis relies on historical data and analyst forecasts and doesn’t account for recent developments or individual investment goals. **German Translation** **Zusammenfassung des Textes** Die Aktien von 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) erlebten letzte Woche eine relative Stabilität, trotz “schwach”er Erträge. Das Kerngeschäft des Unternehmens bleibt robust, so die Analyse. Ein wichtiger Faktor, der die jüngsten Gewinnzahlen beeinflusst hat, ist eine erhebliche Belastung von 281 Mio. € aufgrund von “unvorhergesehenen” Aufwendungen. Obwohl diese einmaligen Kosten in der Regel vorübergehend sind, haben sie 1&1’s statische Gewinn für das Jahr bis Juni 2025 erheblich geschwächt. Der Bericht betont, dass diese ungewöhnlichen Aufwendungen in der Regel isolierte Ereignisse sind und mit Standard-Rechnungswesen übereinstimmen. Trotz des Einflusses auf den gemeldeten Gewinn sind Analysten optimistisch hinsichtlich des zukünftigen Potentials des Unternehmens. Sie heben die Notwendigkeit hervor, andere wichtige Finanzkennzahlen zu berücksichtigen, wie z. B. Margen, Wachstumsprognosen und Kapitalrendite. Darüber hinaus rät der Bericht zu einer weiteren Untersuchung potenzieller Risiken, die 1&1 bewältigt, und erwähnt zwei spezifische Warnsignale. Anleger werden ermutigt, eine umfassendere Bewertung des Unternehmens durch die Untersuchung von Faktoren wie Eigenkapitalrendite und Insiderbeteiligungen zu vornehmen. Der Bericht macht deutlich, dass diese Analyse sich nur auf einen Faktor - ungewöhnliche Aufwendungen - konzentriert, und betont die Notwendigkeit einer umfassenderen Bewertung. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die Analyse auf historischen Daten und Analystenprognosen basiert und keine aktuellen Entwicklungen oder individuellen Anlageziele berücksichtigt. Would you like me to tailor the German translation further, perhaps adding specific details relevant to the context?
09.08.25 07:38:48 1&1 Zweites Quartal 2025 Ergebnis: EPS: 0,15 € (vs 0,30 € in 2Q 2024)
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** Hier ist eine 350-Wörter-Zusammenfassung der 1&1 Q2 2025 Ergebnisse, wie im Text dargestellt: 1&1 (ETR:1U1) berichtete für das zweite Quartal 2025 über gemischte Finanzergebnisse mit einem flachen Umsatz von 98,9 Mio. €, aber einen deutlichen Rückgang des Nettoeinkommens um 49 % auf 27,4 Mio. €. Dies führte zu einer reduzierten Gewinnspanne von 2,8% im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum von 5,4%. Das Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) sank ebenfalls auf 0,15 € ab 0,30 €. Diese Zahlen spiegeln den nachlaufenden Zeitraum von 12 Monaten (TTM) wider. Trotz des allgemeinen Rückgangs erwartet das Unternehmen einen langsameren Wachstumskurs als die breitere europäische Telekommunikationsindustrie. Der Umsatz wird in den nächsten drei Jahren mit einer durchschnittlichen Rate von 1,3 % pro Jahr ansteigen, was deutlich unter den für den breiteren Sektor erwarteten 3,6% liegt. Der Aktienkurs des Unternehmens ist in der vergangenen Woche relativ stabil geblieben, was darauf hindeutet, dass es keine große Marktreaktion zu den gemeldeten Ergebnissen gibt. Einfache Wand St hat zwei Investitionsrisiken im Zusammenhang mit 1&1 identifiziert, die die Bedeutung einer sorgfältigen Betrachtung potenzieller Investoren hervorheben. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass diese Analyse ausschließlich auf historischen Daten und Analyseprognosen basiert, die durch eine unvoreingenommene Methodik dargestellt werden. Der Bericht betont, dass es *not* Finanzberatung ist und stellt keine Empfehlung, Aktien zu kaufen oder zu verkaufen. Darüber hinaus enthält die Analyse nicht die neuesten, potenziell preisempfindlichen Unternehmensansagen oder qualitativen Faktoren. Einfach Wand St unterhält einen langfristigen, grundsätzlich getriebenen Ansatz zur Analyse und konzentriert sich darauf, Investoren Erkenntnisse basierend auf Daten zu vermitteln. Leser werden aufgefordert, ihre eigene gründliche Forschung durchzuführen und mit einem qualifizierten Finanzberater zu konsultieren, bevor sie irgendwelche Investitionsentscheidungen treffen.

**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** **Identifizieren des nächsten Multi-Baggers: Schlüsseltrends und Einblicke* Da wir die Welt der Multibagger erkunden, ist es wichtig, wichtige Trends zu identifizieren, die zu hohen Renditen führen können. Ein gemeinsamer Ansatz ist die Suche nach Unternehmen mit steigender Kapitalrendite (ROCE) und wachsendem Kapital. Dies schlägt eine Compoundiermaschine vor, die das Ergebnis reinvestiert, um höhere Renditen zu erzielen. **Der ROCE Trend zu 1&1** Der ROCE von 1&1 von 7,0% ist eine niedrige Rendite, die mit dem Durchschnitt der Wireless Telecom-Industrie von 9,0% entspricht. Dieser Trend inspiriert jedoch nicht das Vertrauen, und wir glauben, dass es wesentlich ist, die zugrunde liegenden Faktoren zu verstehen, die diesen Trend vorantreiben. ** Der Trend der ROCE* ROCE ist in den letzten fünf Jahren von 13 % gefallen, und das Geschäft nutzt mehr Kapital, hat aber kein signifikantes Umsatzwachstum gesehen. Dies könnte längerfristige Investitionen andeuten, aber wir müssen das Ergebnis des Unternehmens genau im Auge behalten, um zu sehen, ob diese Investitionen zur unteren Linie beitragen. ** Warnzeichen bei 1&1** Während 1&1 in das Geschäft reinvestiert, gibt es Warnzeichen, die Investoren beachten sollten: * Ein Rückgang um 16% in den letzten fünf Jahren * Niedriger ROCE (7,0%) * Niedriges Umsatzwachstum in den letzten 12 Monaten * Hochverschuldungsquote **Alternative Aktien zu beobachten* * Wenn Sie nach Multibaggern suchen, betrachten Sie diese 20 Bestände, die an Frühdiagnostik, Medikamentenentdeckung und anderen Bereichen arbeiten: * KI-Bestände unter 10 Milliarden US-Dollar in der Marktkapitalisierung **Ausschluss* * Der ROCE-Trend von 1&1 inspiriert nicht das Vertrauen, und wir glauben, dass die inhärenten Trends nicht typisch für Multibagger sind. Allerdings kann das Verständnis der Warnzeichen und die Prüfung alternativer Bestände wertvolle Einblicke für Investoren liefern. Wie immer empfehlen wir eine gründliche Analyse der Grundlagen eines Unternehmens, bevor wir Investitionsentscheidungen treffen. **Key Takeaways** * Suche nach Unternehmen mit wachsendem ROCE und wachsendem Kapital * Verstehen Sie die zugrunde liegenden Faktoren, die den Trend treiben * Beachten Sie Warnzeichen, wie ein Rückgang der ROCE, geringes Umsatzwachstum und hohe Schuldenquote * Betrachten Sie alternative Bestände, die an aufstrebenden Technologien arbeiten ** Code Blocks** * ROCE = Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) ```code 0,07 = €546m ÷ (€8,4b - €680m) `` ` * 1&1's ROCE von 7,0% ```code 0,07 = 7,0 % `` ` * Warnzeichen bei 1&1: ```markdown - Rückgang um 16% in den letzten fünf Jahren - Niedriger ROCE (7,0%) - Niedriges Umsatzwachstum in den letzten 12 Monaten - hohe Schuldenquote `` ` * Alternative Bestände zu beobachten: ```markdown - 20 Bestände, die an neuen Technologien arbeiten `` `
16.06.25 05:36:43 Individual investors own 10% of 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) shares but public companies control 79% of the company
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** Key Insights Significant control over 1&1 by public companies implies that the general public has more power to influence management and governance-related decisions United Internet AG owns 79% of the company Analyst forecasts along with ownership data serve to give a strong idea about prospects for a business AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Every investor in 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. With 79% stake, public companies possess the maximum shares in the company. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. And individual investors on the other hand have a 10% ownership in the company. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of 1&1, beginning with the chart below. Check out our latest analysis for 1&1 XTRA:1U1 Ownership Breakdown June 16th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About 1&1? Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices. We can see that 1&1 does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see 1&1's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.XTRA:1U1 Earnings and Revenue Growth June 16th 2025 Hedge funds don't have many shares in 1&1. Our data shows that United Internet AG is the largest shareholder with 79% of shares outstanding. This essentially means that they have extensive influence, if not outright control, over the future of the corporation. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 4.5% and 1.8% of the stock. While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future. Insider Ownership Of 1&1 The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO. Story Continues I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions. We can report that insiders do own shares in 1&1 AG. The insiders have a meaningful stake worth €151m. Most would see this as a real positive. If you would like to explore the question of insider alignment, you can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling. General Public Ownership The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 10% stake in 1&1. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. Public Company Ownership We can see that public companies hold 79% of the 1&1 shares on issue. We can't be certain but it is quite possible this is a strategic stake. The businesses may be similar, or work together. Next Steps: It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand 1&1 better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks for example - 1&1 has 2 warning signs we think you should be aware of. But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.

19.05.25 08:22:59 Some Investors May Be Willing To Look Past 1&1's (ETR:1U1) Soft Earnings
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** Shareholders appeared unconcerned with 1&1 AG's (ETR:1U1) lackluster earnings report last week. Our analysis suggests that while the profits are soft, the foundations of the business are strong. Our free stock report includes 2 warning signs investors should be aware of before investing in 1&1. Read for free now.XTRA:1U1 Earnings and Revenue History May 19th 2025 The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit Importantly, our data indicates that 1&1's profit was reduced by €281m, due to unusual items, over the last year. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. In the twelve months to March 2025, 1&1 had a big unusual items expense. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items made its statutory profit significantly weaker than it would otherwise be. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Our Take On 1&1's Profit Performance As we mentioned previously, the 1&1's profit was hampered by unusual items in the last year. Because of this, we think 1&1's underlying earnings potential is as good as, or possibly even better, than the statutory profit makes it seem! Unfortunately, though, its earnings per share actually fell back over the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. In light of this, if you'd like to do more analysis on the company, it's vital to be informed of the risks involved. You'd be interested to know, that we found 2 warning signs for 1&1 and you'll want to know about them. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of 1&1's profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business. While it might take a little research on your behalf, you may find this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with significant insider holdings to be useful.

**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** The market for 1&1 AG's (ETR:1U1) shares didn't move much after it posted weak earnings recently.

See the full list for free.XTRA:1U1 Earnings and Revenue History April 4th 2025 How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit? To properly understand 1&1's profit results, we need to consider the €281m expense attributed to unusual items. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. In the twelve months to December 2024, 1&1 had a big unusual items expense. All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit look worse than its underlying earnings power. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Our Take On 1&1's Profit Performance As we discussed above, we think the significant unusual expense will make 1&1's statutory profit lower than it would otherwise have been.

The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing 1&1 at this point in time. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for 1&1 you should be aware of.

24.02.25 08:43:06 The three-year loss for 1&1 (ETR:1U1) shareholders likely driven by its shrinking earnings
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) shareholders should be happy to see the share price up 12% in the last month. But that cannot eclipse the less-than-impressive returns over the last three years. In fact, the share price is down 41% in the last three years, falling well short of the market return. While the stock has risen 7.3% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us. View our latest analysis for 1&1 There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. 1&1 saw its EPS decline at a compound rate of 3.0% per year, over the last three years. This reduction in EPS is slower than the 16% annual reduction in the share price. So it's likely that the EPS decline has disappointed the market, leaving investors hesitant to buy. This increased caution is also evident in the rather low P/E ratio, which is sitting at 8.67. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).XTRA:1U1 Earnings Per Share Growth February 24th 2025 This free interactive report on 1&1's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further. A Different Perspective 1&1 shareholders are down 25% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 18%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 6% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand 1&1 better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for 1&1 that you should be aware of. If you like to buy stocks alongside management, then you might just love this freelist of companies.

13.01.25 06:44:20 1&1 (ETR:1U1) Is Reinvesting At Lower Rates Of Return
**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!** If you're looking for a multi-bagger, there's a few things to keep an eye out for. Firstly, we'd want to identify a growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and then alongside that, an ever-increasing base of capital employed. If you see this, it typically means it's a company with a great business model and plenty of profitable reinvestment opportunities. Having said that, from a first glance at 1&1 (ETR:1U1) we aren't jumping out of our chairs at how returns are trending, but let's have a deeper look. Understanding Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. The formula for this calculation on 1&1 is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.09 = €664m ÷ (€8.0b - €673m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2024). So, 1&1 has an ROCE of 9.0%. Even though it's in line with the industry average of 8.7%, it's still a low return by itself. View our latest analysis for 1&1 XTRA:1U1 Return on Capital Employed January 13th 2025 Above you can see how the current ROCE for 1&1 compares to its prior returns on capital, but there's only so much you can tell from the past. If you're interested, you can view the analysts predictions in our freeanalyst report for 1&1 . The Trend Of ROCE When we looked at the ROCE trend at 1&1, we didn't gain much confidence. To be more specific, ROCE has fallen from 14% over the last five years. Meanwhile, the business is utilizing more capital but this hasn't moved the needle much in terms of sales in the past 12 months, so this could reflect longer term investments. It's worth keeping an eye on the company's earnings from here on to see if these investments do end up contributing to the bottom line. The Key Takeaway To conclude, we've found that 1&1 is reinvesting in the business, but returns have been falling. And in the last five years, the stock has given away 48% so the market doesn't look too hopeful on these trends strengthening any time soon. In any case, the stock doesn't have these traits of a multi-bagger discussed above, so if that's what you're looking for, we think you'd have more luck elsewhere. On a separate note, we've found 1 warning sign for 1&1 you'll probably want to know about.
