Both the STOXX 50 and the STOXX 600 hovered around the flatline on Wednesday, trading near lows not seen since the end of September but attempting to stabilise after four consecutive sessions of losses. Investor sentiment, however, remained subdued as concerns over overvaluation in AI and tech stocks persisted, with Nvidia set to report quarterly results later today. UniCredit was among the worst performers (-1.2%) following reports it may consider smaller Italian rival BPER as a potential acquisition target. Engie (-1.3%), RWE (-0.8%) and Iberdrola (-0.8%) also traded in the red, while Deutsche Telekom (+0.7%) and Repsol (+0.9%) posted gains. Meanwhile, The Sage Group jumped more than 3%, topping the STOXX 600 after reporting strong full-year results for the period ending September 2025.
