Frankfurt's DAX 40 rose about 1% to cross the 25,100 mark on Thursday, the highest since mid-January, halting a two-day losing streak. Investors monitored a fresh wave of corporate results, while still assessing the latest US jobs report. Among the key movers, Siemens surged 6% to a record high after beating first-quarter profit estimates and lifting its 2026 EPS guidance by around 2%. By contrast, Mercedes-Benz slipped over 4% after reporting a sharp decline in annual profits. Thyssenkrupp shares, listed on the MDax, plunged up to 3.1% after the company posted a first quarter net loss of €334 million, up from €33 million a year earlier, even as it maintained its full-year outlook.
