Next revenue date is October 21

Stock sits between key range levels

For market watchers, the central metric is the gap between EUR 27.20 and the EUR 30.18 yearly high. The 9.87 percent distance leaves room for a higher range test, but the current quotation remains 10.66 percent above the EUR 24.58 low, placing the stock between both established boundaries.
