Grifols, a Spanish multinational that is hardly Spanish

29 Jul 2020  |  Yoibextigo  |  Spanish  |  Health & Fitness

Grifols, a multinational pharmaceutical company originating from Catalonia, Spain, has become a leading firm in Europe for blood derivatives and ranks third globally, only surpassed by American companies CSL Behring and Shire. Despite its Spanish roots, Grifols has a significant presence in the United States, where it employs the majority of its workforce, pays over 80% of its taxes, and generates 66.5% of its business volume. The company has faced criticism for its tax optimization strategies, particularly in Ireland and the U.S., and for maintaining a substantial part of its operations outside of Spain. Grifols has also been involved in lobbying activities within the European Union and has received public subsidies for various projects.

11 Apr 2023  |  Finanzas.com  |  Spanish  |  Finance

Enagás has adapted its strategy to focus on hydrogen and European interconnections for growth, overcoming doubts about its strategic plan from the second half of 2022. The company's shares have risen 17.5% since the beginning of the year, surpassing analysts' expectations. The positive trend was reinforced by a successful shareholder meeting on March 30, 2023, where Enagás confirmed high storage levels and the accelerated execution of its Strategic Plan 2022-2030. The H2Med project is expected to receive EU funding by the end of 2023. Despite the company's success, short sellers like Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Blackrock have slightly increased their short positions.

Cie Automotive on the verge of returning to its curse in the Ibex 35

16 Dec 2022  |  www.merca2.es  |  Spanish  |  Automotive Industry

Cie Automotive is nearing a potential return to the Ibex 35 stock market index, following the inclusion of Logista and the pending takeover bid for Siemens Gamesa by Siemens Energy. The company's previous entry into the Ibex 35 on June 9, 2018, marked its all-time high stock price, which it has not reached since. The pandemic caused a significant drop in Cie Automotive's stock value, but it has since recovered and shown strong performance even after being excluded from the index six months ago. The article also discusses trading strategies and price targets for Cie Automotive's stock.
