| 10.12.23 06:38:48 | flatexDEGIRO AG (ETR:FTK) is largely controlled by institutional shareholders who own 59% of the company |  |
| Key Insights Institutions' substantial holdings in flatexDEGIRO implies that they have significant influence over the company's share price 52% of the business is held by the top 10 shareholders Analyst forecasts along with ownership data serve to give a strong idea about prospects for a business If you want to know who really controls flatexDEGIRO AG (ETR:FTK), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 59% ownership. That is, the group stands to benefit the most if the stock rises (or lose the most if there is a downturn). Since institutional have access to huge amounts of capital, their market moves tend to receive a lot of scrutiny by retail or individual investors. As a result, a sizeable amount of institutional money invested in a firm is generally viewed as a positive attribute. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of flatexDEGIRO. Check out our latest analysis for flatexDEGIRO ownership-breakdown What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About flatexDEGIRO? Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. flatexDEGIRO already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. 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 flatexDEGIRO's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. Story continues earnings-and-revenue-growth Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions. Our data indicates that hedge funds own 5.2% of flatexDEGIRO. That worth noting, since hedge funds are often quite active investors, who may try to influence management. Many want to see value creation (and a higher share price) in the short term or medium term. GfBk Gesellschaft für Börsenkommunikation mbH is currently the company's largest shareholder with 13% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 5.2% and 5.0% of the stock. We also observed that the top 10 shareholders account for more than half of the share register, with a few smaller shareholders to balance the interests of the larger ones to a certain extent. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. 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 flatexDEGIRO 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. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it. Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group. We can see that insiders own shares in flatexDEGIRO AG. The insiders have a meaningful stake worth €17m. Most would see this as a real positive. It is good to see this level of investment by insiders. You can check here to see if those insiders have been buying recently. General Public Ownership The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 19% stake in flatexDEGIRO. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies. Private Company Ownership It seems that Private Companies own 15%, of the flatexDEGIRO stock. Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research. Next Steps: I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Many find it useful to take an in depth look at how a company has performed in the past. You can access this detailed graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flow. 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.

| 26.10.23 06:45:39 | flatexDEGIRO (ETR:FTK) shareholders have earned a 11% CAGR over the last five years | |
| Generally speaking the aim of active stock picking is to find companies that provide returns that are superior to the market average. Buying under-rated businesses is one path to excess returns. For example, the flatexDEGIRO AG (ETR:FTK) share price is up 68% in the last 5 years, clearly besting the market decline of around 9.6% (ignoring dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 1.7% in the last year. With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. View our latest analysis for flatexDEGIRO In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. Over half a decade, flatexDEGIRO managed to grow its earnings per share at 19% a year. This EPS growth is higher than the 11% average annual increase in the share price. Therefore, it seems the market has become relatively pessimistic about the company. You can see below how EPS has changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). earnings-per-share-growth It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our freereport on flatexDEGIRO's earnings, revenue and cash flow. A Different Perspective flatexDEGIRO shareholders gained a total return of 1.7% during the year. Unfortunately this falls short of the market return. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 11% per year for five years. It's quite possible the business continues to execute with prowess, even as the share price gains are slowing. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Take risks, for example - flatexDEGIRO has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.

| 19.05.23 05:09:47 | flatexDEGIRO's (ETR:FTK) investors will be pleased with their 30% return over the last three years |  |
| By buying an index fund, investors can approximate the average market return. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. For example, the flatexDEGIRO AG (ETR:FTK) share price is up 30% in the last three years, clearly besting the market return of around 7.5% (not including dividends). Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business. View our latest analysis for flatexDEGIRO While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During three years of share price growth, flatexDEGIRO achieved compound earnings per share growth of 71% per year. The average annual share price increase of 9% is actually lower than the EPS growth. So one could reasonably conclude that the market has cooled on the stock. This cautious sentiment is reflected in its (fairly low) P/E ratio of 10.25. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). earnings-per-share-growth We know that flatexDEGIRO has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? If you are thinking of buying or selling flatexDEGIRO stock, you should check out this FREEdetailed report on its balance sheet. A Different Perspective We regret to report that flatexDEGIRO shareholders are down 24% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 0.9%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 4%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand flatexDEGIRO better, we need to consider many other factors.

| flatexDEGIRO to waive negative interest charge for all customers of the Group’s brands flatex, DEGIRO and ViTrade, following ECB's interest rate decision Expected return to positive interest rate environment holds significant earnings potential for flatexDEGIRO FRANKFURT/MAIN, Germany, July 21, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following today's decision by the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise the interest rate on the deposit facility, flatexDEGIRO AG (WKN: FTG111, ISIN: DE000FTG1111, Ticker: FTK.GR), Europe's largest and fastest growing online broker, will pass on the resulting cost benefits directly to its customers and waive completely the negative interest charge for all customers as of 1 August 2022.

Frank Niehage, CEO of flatexDEGIRO: "When we introduced the ECB deposit rate as a negative interest charge in 2017, we did so openly and transparently, not hiding it in other fee increases. At the time we promised: When interest rates rise again, we will abolish this negative interest rate. And our word is true. We are now keeping that promise. It remains to be seen whether other banks and online brokers will follow suit and roll back hidden fees now." Muhamad Chahrour, CFO of flatexDEGIRO and CEO of DEGIRO: "With today's interest rate decision by the ECB and the expected imminent steps towards a positive interest rate environment, a decade of zero and negative interest rates is coming to an end in Europe. Beyond the relief for our customers, this holds a significant earnings potential for flatexDEGIRO, without us taking on an increased investment risk. The resulting further strengthening of our earnings and financial power provides us with additional and sustainable advantages over online brokers, who cannot access this potential due to their lack of a banking license."

| DEGIRO retailises European Online Brokerage with zero commission trading on top US and European exchanges - Zero commission US trading on NASDAQ and NYSE in all DEGIRO markets - Zero commission trading on leading local exchanges and all ETFs in DEGIRO growth countries - Most transparent pricing structure with no compensation through payment for order flow - Significant acceleration of customer and transaction growth and increasing profitability expected FRANKFURT, Germany, November 18, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, flatexDEGIRO (WKN: FTG111, ISIN: DE000FTG1111, Ticker: FTK.GR), Europe's largest and fastest-growing pan-European retail online broker announced the introduction of zero commission trading at DEGIRO, starting as of 22 November 2021. DEGIRO customers across Europe will thereby be able to trade without any commission over 5,000 US equities directly on the leading US exchanges NASDAQ and NYSE. Additionally, in the most important growth markets, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, as well as in Sweden and Denmark, they will trade all ETFs commission-free as well as equities on the respective local Tier 1 exchanges, including Euronext Paris, and Lisbon, NASDAQ Stockholm, Bolsa de Madrid and Borsa Italia. For the very first time, European retail investors will be able to trade at zero commission without having to compromise on quality, service, security, product choice or place of execution. flatexDEGIRO leverages its technological edge, its financial strengths and the scale of its market-leading pan-European online brokerage business to make this unique offer. The attractiveness and quality of the offer is expected to lead to an increasing revenue base and additional economies of scale which, together with optimised monetisation, should strongly improve flatexDEGIRO's operating profitability. Frank Niehage, CEO of flatexDEGIRO: "With 'DEGIRO goes zero', we are changing the face of online brokerage in Europe. DEGIRO provides the lowest prices in the market with full cost transparency and no compromise on quality. We are now not only leading in platform and product but also in price. This will further increase the attractiveness of long-term investing and trading on our platform for millions of Europeans. No one interested in online brokerage should ever again feel the need to trade with brokers who supposedly charge no commissions but offer only intransparent and low-quality alternatives." Story continues Muhamad Chahrour, CEO of DEGIRO and CFO of flatexDEGIRO: "It's as simple as that: for years, many so-called 'neo-brokers' claimed to offer zero commission trading - but at what costs? Clients were attracted to trade either highly risky CFDs or with market makers having intransparent product-pricing and scrutinised payments for order flow. No retail customer should ever again accept this specious trade-off. We promised to retailise capital market access - this is exactly what we now do with this revolutionary step. DEGIRO launches the first fair and most transparent zero commission retail brokerage, not relying on any payment for order flow." Complex variable fee structures for external cost such as exchange fees and regulatory costs will be eliminated by a transparent and simple flat handling fee of as little as 50 Cents per transaction. DEGIRO also supports the best access to international equity markets with transparent and outstanding FX services and fees, including one of the lowest FX fees in the whole financial industry of just 0.25%.

| 14.07.20 15:21:07 | Bank of East Asia Ltd, Singapore Branch -- Moody's announces completion of a periodic review of ratings of Bank of East Asia, Limited | |
| Announcement of Periodic Review: Moody's announces completion of a periodic review of ratings of Bank of East Asia, Limited Global Credit Research - 14 Jul 2020 Hong Kong, July 14, 2020 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has completed a periodic review of the ratings of Bank of East Asia, Limited and other ratings that are associated with the same analytical unit. The review was conducted through a portfolio review in which Moody's reassessed the appropriateness of the ratings in the context of the relevant principal methodology(ies), recent developments, and a comparison of the financial and operating profile to similarly rated peers. The review did not involve a rating committee. Since 1 January 2019, Moody's practice has been to issue a press release following each periodic review to announce its completion. This publication does not announce a credit rating action and is not an indication of whether or not a credit rating action is likely in the near future. Credit ratings and outlook/review status cannot be changed in a portfolio review and hence are not impacted by this announcement. For any credit ratings referenced in this publication, please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for the most updated credit rating action information and rating history. Key rating considerations are summarized below. Bank of East Asia's A3 deposit rating takes into account the bank's baa2 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and Adjusted BCA and the application of Moody's Advanced Loss Given Failure analysis to its assumed liabilities at failure. The bank's issuance of sizable subordinated debt and Additional Tier 1 capital instruments and moderate likelihood of support from Government of Hong Kong provides uplifts for its deposit ratings. The bank's baa2 BCA takes into account its strong capitalization but deterioration in asset quality and profitability. It also factors in the bank's sizable mainland China exposures, with mainland-related loans accounting for 37% of total loans as of the end of 2019. The bank has reduced its exposures to certain corporate sectors in mainland China especially property-related sectors over the past few years. At the same time, the bank has expanded its consumer lending in partnership with mainland FinTech firms which generate satisfactory margins. The bank reported an increase in its impaired loan ratio to 1.2% as of the end of 2019 from 0.7% as of the end of 2018, and asset quality pressure will persist amid the coronavirus-induced economic slowdown. The bank's profitability declined in 2019 due to higher credit costs, and a narrowing in margins and elevated credit costs will continue to weigh on profitability in 2020. The bank's capitalization remained strong with Common Equity Tier 1 ratio at 15.6% as of the end of 2019. Story continues This document summarizes Moody's view as of the publication date and will not be updated until the next periodic review announcement, which will incorporate material changes in credit circumstances (if any) during the intervening period. The principal methodology used for this review was Banks Methodology published in November 2019. Please see the Rating Methodologies page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology. This announcement applies only to EU rated and EU endorsed ratings. Non EU rated and non EU endorsed ratings may be referenced above to the extent necessary, if they are part of the same analytical unit. This publication does not announce a credit rating action. For any credit ratings referenced in this publication, please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for the most updated credit rating action information and rating history.
