Is August the worst month to invest in European stocks?
European equities have entered what is historically the most challenging stretch of the calendar year, as August and September consistently deliver the weakest returns for the region's stock markets. Following a strong first half in 2025 and a slightly positive July, history suggests that the summer momentum in European equities often loses steam as August arrives. The month is typically defined by thinner trading volumes, greater market sensitivity to economic and geopolitical headlines, and a consistent pattern of higher volatility. August: The weakest month for European indices Analysis of the past three decades reveals a clear seasonal downturn in August. The EURO STOXX 50, Europe's blue-chip benchmark, has averaged a 1.66% decline during the month over the past 30 years, making it the worst-performing month of the year. It has ended August in positive territory only 43% of the time, and the broader STOXX Europe 600 tells a similar story. Over the past 24 years, this index has fallen by an average 0.7% in August, also with a 43% winning ratio. The most brutal August came in 1998, when the EURO STOXX 50 plunged 14.4%, followed closely by 2001's 13.79% loss. Country indices echo August's negative trend Zooming in on national markets, the pattern of August weakness is equally pronounced. This period is the weakest month for Germany's DAX, which posts an average decline of 2.2% and finishes in positive territory just 47% of the time. In France, the CAC 40 drops by 1.47% on average in August, narrowly ahead of September's 1.49% average fall, and sees only a 37% winning rate. Italy's FTSE MIB and Spain's IBEX 35 also see the negative sign, logging average August losses of 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. German stocks: Some of the weakest August seasonality A group of Germany's blue chips consistently show downward August bias, with some of them marking it as their worst month of the year, both in terms of returns and win probability. According to TradingView data, some of the hardest-hit stocks include: • Thyssenkrupp AG leads the decline, tumbling an average 4.6% in August with a win rate of just 30%, meaning it has posted gains in only 9 of the past 30 years. • BMW AG averages a 4.1% loss in August with just a 37% win rate. Volkswagen AG, meanwhile, falls 3.3% and ends the month higher only 27% of the time — proof that even automakers aren't spared from late-summer volatility. • Deutsche Bank AG, Germany's largest lender, averages a 3.47% drop in August and matches Thyssenkrupp's 30% win ratio. • Utility giant SE and industrial titan Siemens AG also feel the seasonal drag, both slipping by nearly 2%, with win rates of 37% and 40%, respectively. • Deutsche Börse AG, operator of Germany's stock exchange, and consumer goods firm Beiersdorf AG both see their weakest performance in August, falling 1.72% and 1.66% on average, with win rates of 48% and 39%, respectively. Bottom line: August's seasonal slump hard to ignore With the EURO STOXX 50 and STOXX 600 up 8% and 7%, respectively, European equities have delivered a solid year-to-date performance. Much of this rebound has come on the back of a strong recovery from April's tariff-induced downturn, mirroring a broader global equity upswing. But history warns that August marks a persistent seasonal soft spot — particularly for Germany's corporate heavyweights, which tend to underperform more than their European peers. From broad indices to blue-chip stocks, the month shows a consistent pattern of lower returns, thinner liquidity, and heightened vulnerability to negative news flow. While no seasonal trend guarantees future performance, August remains, by many measures, the most challenging month for European investors.

Eventbrite Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), a global marketplace for shared experiences, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company's Second Quarter Investor Presentation can be found on Eventbrite's Investor Relations website at 'Our second quarter financial results demonstrate how our focused execution is driving operational performance, while delivering sustainable bottom-line improvement,' said Julia Hartz, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Chair. 'Following the strategic initiatives we put in place over the past year, we saw continued improved trends for paid events, paid creators, and paid tickets, and in July, the improvement in paid ticket trends accelerated meaningfully, bringing us closer to our goal of returning to growth. We believe we are on the right path and the progress we are achieving positions us for an even brighter future.' 'We delivered on our outlook for the quarter, with net revenue at the top of our guidance range and Adjusted EBITDA margin significantly above expectations,' said Anand Gandhi, Chief Financial Officer. 'Our continued progress in reducing operating expenses is driving structural improvements to our cost base and substantial margin expansion, positioning us to generate greater cash flow as we return to growth. We also refined our capital structure, securing a term loan that provides us greater liquidity and optionality for the next four years, and repurchasing a large portion of our 2026 convertible notes at a discount to par. These improvements to our cost structure and balance sheet provide us with a solid financial foundation to deliver sustained profitable growth.' Second Quarter 2025 Highlights Net revenue of $72.8 million, declined 14% year-over-year as anticipated, driven in part by the elimination of organizer fees, and was at the top end of the Company's quarterly outlook range. Eventbrite Ads continued to grow rapidly, up 50% year-over-year. Net loss of $2.1 million compared to net income of $1.1 million in the same period last year, which included a net benefit of $8.3 million due to a legal settlement gain recognized in June 2024. Adjusted EBITDA of $6.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.8% exceeded the Company's outlook range. 1 Paid ticket volume of 19.7 million, declined 7% year-over-year, improving 40 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and representing the Company's third consecutive quarter of improvement in year-over-year trends. Paid creators of over 168,000, declined 5% year-over-year, improving 200 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and representing the Company's third consecutive quarter of improvement in year-over-year trends. 1 For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see "―About non-GAAP financial measures" and the tables under "―Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and the Calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin" included at the end of this release. The summary of GAAP and non-GAAP consolidated financial results is in the table below (in thousands, except percentages, unaudited): Business Outlook For the third quarter 2025, the Company expects net revenue in the range of $70 million to $73 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 7%, excluding non-routine items. For fiscal year 2025, the Company expects to achieve monthly year-over-year growth in paid ticket volume by the end of the year. Due to trends in tickets per creator, the Company updated its full-year revenue outlook range to $290 million to $296 million. As a result of the Company's significant reductions in operating expenses, it raised its full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to approximately 7%, excluding non-routine items. The Company has not provided an outlook for GAAP net income (loss) or GAAP net income (loss) margin or reconciliations of expected Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) or expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income (loss) margin because GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) margin on a forward-looking basis are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the potential variability and complexity of the items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, such as stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange rate gains and losses, and other non-recurring expenses.

These measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may not calculate non-GAAP financial measures in the same manner as we calculate them, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Some amounts in this press release may not add due to rounding. Adjusted EBITDA We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, employer taxes related to employee transactions, other (income) expense net, which consists of foreign exchange rate gains and losses, income tax provision (benefit), and significant and non-recurring legal matters, net of insurance recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Beginning in the current fiscal quarter, we updated our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include certain significant and non-recurring legal matters, net of insurance recoveries, that we consider to be non-recurring and not reflective of our ongoing operations. This change better aligns Adjusted EBITDA with how management evaluates our core operating performance. This change in definition is applied prospectively beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2025. Prior periods have not been recast, as there is no impact to any previously reported amounts. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital spending that occurs off of the income statement or account for future contractual commitments, (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest and principal required to service our indebtedness. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we expect to incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this release. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-routine items. When evaluating performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and other GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Because of the limitations described above, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss, net loss margin, and other GAAP results.
