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.

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.

19.05.25 08:22:59 | Some Investors May Be Willing To Look Past 1&1's (ETR:1U1) Soft Earnings | ![]() |
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.

04.04.25 04:46:54 | 1&1's (ETR:1U1) Soft Earnings Don't Show The Whole Picture | ![]() |
The market for 1&1 AG's (ETR:1U1) shares didn't move much after it posted weak earnings recently. We did some digging, and we believe the earnings are stronger than they seem. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. 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. 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. 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. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of 1&1's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company.

24.02.25 08:43:06 | The three-year loss for 1&1 (ETR:1U1) shareholders likely driven by its shrinking earnings | ![]() |
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 | ![]() |
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.

17.09.24 07:53:37 | 1&1 (ETR:1U1) stock falls 3.7% in past week as five-year earnings and shareholder returns continue downward trend | ![]() |
We think intelligent long term investing is the way to go. But that doesn't mean long term investors can avoid big losses. For example the 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1) share price dropped 53% over five years. That's not a lot of fun for true believers. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 17% in the last three months. Given the past week has been tough on shareholders, let's investigate the fundamentals and see what we can learn. View our latest analysis for 1&1 To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. Looking back five years, both 1&1's share price and EPS declined; the latter at a rate of 7.7% per year. Readers should note that the share price has fallen faster than the EPS, at a rate of 14% per year, over the period. So it seems the market was too confident about the business, in the past. The low P/E ratio of 8.72 further reflects this reticence. You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). earnings-per-share-growth Dive deeper into 1&1's key metrics by checking this interactive graph of 1&1's earnings, revenue and cash flow. A Different Perspective Investors in 1&1 had a tough year, with a total loss of 16% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 8.8%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 9% per year over five years. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. 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.

Investors were disappointed with the weak earnings posted by 1&1 AG (ETR:1U1 ). However, our analysis suggests that the soft headline numbers are getting counterbalanced by some positive underlying factors. Check out our latest analysis for 1&1 earnings-and-revenue-history The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit Importantly, our data indicates that 1&1's profit was reduced by €284m, due to unusual items, over the last year. While deductions due to unusual items are disappointing in the first instance, there is a silver lining.

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. 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! And on top of that, its earnings per share have grown at 12% per year over the last three years. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. With this in mind, we wouldn't consider investing in a stock unless we had a thorough understanding of the risks.

Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of 1&1's profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae.
