Why Nynomic's (ETR:M7U) Shaky Earnings Are Just The Beginning Of Its Problems
Nynomic AG's (ETR:M7U) recent weak earnings report didn't cause a big stock movement. Our analysis suggests that along with soft profit numbers, investors should be aware of some other underlying weaknesses in the numbers.
This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.
To properly understand Nynomic's profit results, we need to consider the €553k gain attributed to unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And that's as you'd expect, given these boosts are described as 'unusual'. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).
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.
We'd posit that Nynomic's statutory earnings aren't a clean read on ongoing productivity, due to the large unusual item. Because of this, we think that it may be that Nynomic's statutory profits are better than its underlying earnings power. Sadly, its EPS was down over the last twelve months. 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. If you want to do dive deeper into Nynomic, you'd also look into what risks it is currently facing. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for Nynomic you should be aware of.
This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Nynomic's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business.

Ray Dalio: ‘We should be afraid of the bond market'
The US is at a low risk of an imminent debt crisis — but high risk in the long term, billionaire investor Ray Dalio writes in a new book. The US government debt situation is 'nearing the point of no return' and approaching a 'death spiral' that could threaten the stability of the world's largest economy, he writes in the book, 'How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle,' published Tuesday. Some economists and investors have been sounding the alarm about the deficit for years. But this year, Wall Street has begun to heed caution as President Donald Trump's tariffs and tax bill agenda have stoked volatility in the bond market, which is the usually quiet bedrock of the US and global economies. Investors are increasingly concerned about the potential for Trump's 'big, beautiful' tax bill to put pressure on the federal debt burden at a time when there is uncertainty about the outlook for the economy and the appeal of US assets. In May, the rate the US government has to pay investors for a 30-year loan spiked to its highest level since 2023. That's because investors either sold or refused to buy bonds and demanded higher compensation in exchange for what looked like a riskier loan to the US government. Dalio is the latest billionaire to sound the alarm over the US debt and deficit, with worries that the vast government debt will crowd out spending on essential services to leave a hollowed-out economy that can't work for its citizens and which spooks global investors. There is a 'very low imminent risk' of a US government debt crisis, but a 'very high long-term risk,' Dalio writes in the book. 'Even though this progression has happened many times in history, most policy makers and investors think their current circumstances and monetary system won't change,' Dalio writes. 'The change is unthinkable — and then it happens suddenly.' A higher deficit means the Treasury might need to sell more bonds to finance its spending and interest payments. A debt 'death spiral' describes when a government needs to issue more bonds to raise money to pay its existing debts, but faces less demand and has to pay investors more and more interest for them to bite. 'A spiral of rising interest rates leading to worsening credit risk, leading to less demand for the debt, leading to higher interest rates is a classic debt 'death spiral',' Dalio writes. The higher interest rates investors demand to loan the government money leave less money for running a country, increase interest rates for consumers and businesses and generally leave a country with fewer options to raise cash. 'To me, that suggests that US policy makers should be more, not less, conservative in dealing with the government's finances because the worst thing possible would be to have its finances in bad shape during difficult times,' Dalio writes. Trump's tax bill is set to raise the deficit because it slashes tax revenues without enough cuts to spending to balance things out. The current US deficit is on unsustainable path and is 'more than the market can bear,' Dalio said at an event on May 22 in New York ahead of the book's release. He said that he anticipates it will be roughly three years before the United States is in a 'critical situation.' 'I think we should be afraid of the bond market,' Dalio said. 'I can tell you that this is very, very serious.' Tax cuts can be a boon for Wall Street, and the stock market cheered Trump's tax cuts during his first term. But what makes this time different is adding to the deficit while the federal debt burden has ballooned: The ratio of federal debt to gross domestic product, or the total value of goods and services produced in the economy, soared from 104% in 2017 to 123% in 2024, according to the Treasury Department. 'We're now talking about deficits and a national debt-to-GDP ratio that are really going to be unprecedented, except for recent recessionary times,' Alan Auerbach, a professor of economics at UC Berkeley, previously told CNN. Dalio's book comes out days after JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said on Friday at the Reagan National Economic Forum that a 'crack' in the bond market 'is going to happen.' 'The US long bond is already near its highest levels since the (2008 financial crisis),' said Ajay Rajadhyaksha, an analyst at Barclays, in a recent note. 'As markets absorb the details of the new tax bill, and realize that deficits are likely to keep rising for the foreseeable future, the risk is that longer yields keep rising as well.' Nor have Democrats and Republicans shown they can work together on the problem, Dalio said at the May 22 event. 'It's like being on a boat that's headed for rocks,' he said, 'and they agree that they should turn, but they can't agree on how to turn.'

China's critical mineral export ban gets pushback from global auto industry
Alarm over China's stranglehold on critical minerals grew on Tuesday as global automakers joined their U.S. counterparts to complain that restrictions by China on exports of rare earth alloys, mixtures and magnets could cause production delays and outages without a quick solution. German automakers became the latest to warn that China's export restrictions threaten to shut down production and rattle their local economies, following a similar complaint from an Indian EV maker last week. China's decision in April to suspend exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets has upended the supply chains central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world. The move underscores China's dominance of the critical mineral industry and is seen as leverage by China in its ongoing trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has sought to redefine the trading relationship with the U.S.' top economic rival China by imposing steep tariffs on billions of dollars of imported goods in hopes of narrowing a wide trade deficit and bringing back lost manufacturing. Trump imposed tariffs as high as 145% against China only to scale them back after stock, bond and currency markets revolted over the sweeping nature of the levies. China has responded with its own tariffs and is leveraging its dominance in key supply chains to persuade Trump to back down. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to talk this week and the export ban is expected to be high on the agenda. Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system. Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors. The suspension has triggered anxiety in corporate boardrooms and nations' capitals – from Tokyo to Washington – as officials scrambled to identify limited alternative options amid fears that production of new automobiles and other items could grind to a halt by summer's end. 'If the situation is not changed quickly, production delaysand even production outages can no longer be ruled out,' Hildegard Mueller, head of Germany's auto lobby, told Reuters on Tuesday. Frank Fannon, a minerals industry consultant and former U.S. assistant secretary of state for energy resources during Trump's first term, said the global disruptions are not shocking to those paying attention. 'I don't think anyone should be surprised how this is playing out. We have a production challenge (in the U.S.) and we need to leverage our whole of government approach to secure resources and ramp up domestic capability as soon as possible. The time horizon to do this was yesterday,' Fannon. Diplomats, automakers and other executives from India, Japan and Europe were urgently seeking meetings with Beijing officials to push for faster approval of rare earth magnet exports, sources told Reuters, as shortages threatened to halt global supply chains. A business delegation from Japan will visit Beijing in early June to meet the Ministry of Commerce over the curbs and European diplomats from countries with big auto industries have also sought 'emergency' meetings with Chinese officials in recent weeks, Reuters reported. India, where Bajaj Auto warned that any further delays in securing the supply of rare earth magnets from China could 'seriously impact' electric vehicle production, is organizing a trip for auto executives in the next two to three weeks. In May, the head of the trade group representing General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other major automakers raised similar concerns in a letter to the Trump administration. 'Without reliable access to these elements and magnets, automotive suppliers will be unable to produce critical automotive components, including automatic transmissions, throttle bodies, alternators, various motors, sensors, seatbelts, speakers, lights, motors, power steering, and cameras,' the Alliance for Automotive Innovation wrote in the letter.

How Should Businesses Be Approaching Sustainability Now?
There is a palpable air of uncertainty among many multinational corporate sustainability, ESG and risk management teams these days as everyone tries to anticipate the future of sustainability regulation. I've written quite a bit about the mixed messages companies are receiving from regulators in Europe as the EU Member States continue to debate the details of the Omnibus Simplification Package, and in the U.S., where it's still unclear exactly how this historic period of environmental deregulation will affect companies. The fact is that many businesses have invested significant time and resources into sustainability compliance and reporting initiatives while operating under the impression that major reforms like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) would be hitting their stride right now. Instead, they're living through a period of regulatory limbo in which it's not clear what exactly their future sustainability compliance obligations entail. So, what should they be doing in the meantime? The short answer is: now is the time to be reviewing the steps they have made so far, and the most obvious place to start is with is their materiality assessments. In the world of financial reporting, materiality is defined as information that can influence and ultimately inform the financial decision making of an entity. When applied to sustainability reporting, a materiality assessment is a company's foundational definition of the core sustainability issues that matter most to their businesses and their stakeholders. These guide the way they will report and integrate them into overall business strategy and investment. In short, these materiality assessments shine a light on the foundational truths that define a company's values and goals and determine whether or not they are aligned with their strategic objectives. The identification of these material matters is also the starting point to determine the information that should be disclosed in the sustainability statement, which identifies the impacts, risks and opportunities confronting a company and its upstream and downstream value chain. At a time when the rules of the game keep changing and where corporate positions on sustainability can easily become politicized, a well-thought-out and delivered materiality assessment is an important way for a company to assert the business case for its sustainability strategy. Importantly, it is a way for companies to take the emotion out of sustainability and instead focus on the facts and the financial rationale behind their actions, while ensuring their sustainability strategy is dynamic and meets the changing needs of their businesses. Even during this period of regulatory flux, the market drivers behind sustainability have not changed , and in some cases they have even increased in significance. Now is the time for businesses to really look at what other companies in their space are doing when it comes to sustainability reporting. This peer comparison will soon become a key benchmark against which other companies will measure themselves and will also be measured. While sustainability disclosure reporting regulators have been debating the best path forward, many leading companies have already started reporting in compliance with the CSRD. In fact, some 500 companies have already published sustainability reports under the CSRD. The full library of reports can be found here, courtesy of ESG data management software company KEY ESG, which has been cataloging them all. One of the first things that stands out when reviewing these reports is that many of them come from companies in jurisdictions where the CSRD has yet to be fully implemented. In fact, according to a detailed PwC analysis of 100 CSRD reports, about 90% of them came from five European countries, three of which (Germany, Spain and the Netherlands) have not yet transposed the CSRD into national law. Another key finding of the analysis was that these reports are not very standardized. Some are 30 pages; others are 300 and they each focus on different aspects of sustainability-related risks. However, the important takeaway for business leaders who are still refining their approaches to sustainability reporting is that hundreds of manufacturers, technology companies, financial services firms, retailers, utilities and others are already out there walking the walk on sustainability reporting. These early standard bearers will not only have a jump on the intricacies of the reporting process once the mandate is finalized; they will also help establish industry best practices and position themselves as leaders to investors, customers and other stakeholders who increasingly want to know about business risks linked to sustainability. It's easy for business leaders to become distracted in a news cycle like the one we find ourselves in today that seems to be consumed with the idea of delayed implementation and political infighting. The big picture is that, delayed or not, sustainability reporting mandates of some type are coming, whether directly from regulators, or as is currently the case, from other stakeholders such as investors and customers. The sooner companies get themselves aligned with those standards, the better off they will be when the time comes to comply with the law. Moreover, with so many companies already reporting in line with the CSRD, and the informed view is that more and more will do so voluntarily, the prevailing market forces are creating some pressure on businesses that have not yet shared their sustainability reports. Now is not the time to delay. It is the time to refine and hone sustainability practices to focus on what matters most to the business and its stakeholders.
