European stocks saw further declines on Wednesday, with the STOXX 50 index falling by 0.7% and the STOXX 600 decreasing 0.4%, continuing the downward trend from a similar dip the day before. Investors exhibited caution throughout the region, carefully considering the high valuations in AI-related and tech stocks alongside a new wave of mixed corporate earnings reports. The technology sector experienced significant pressure, as illustrated by ASML's 2.7% decline. Additionally, LVMH shares decreased by 1.5%, Siemens Energy dropped 2.9%, and Ambu led the STOXX 600 losses with a steep 13.5% fall following disappointing earnings results. Meanwhile, BMW managed to hover near steady levels despite announcing an improved profit margin. Conversely, Novo Nordisk's shares rose 2.1%, despite the pharmaceutical company revising down its growth forecast for its Ozempic obesity and diabetes treatments. Winning the day, Vestas surged over 11%, marking significant gains on the STOXX 600 after posting earnings and revenue that surpassed expectations and unveiling a €150 million share buyback initiative.
