<p>Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.</p>

Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) Stock Is Falling Monday: What's Going On?

<p>Stocks in the United States have struggled to regain their February all-time highs amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45691310/trump-tariff-uncertainty-enters-courts-experts-say-investors-should-expect-elevated-turbulence-amid-the-bullish-gridlock">tariff uncertainty</a>. In fact, the S&amp;P 500 remains one of the worst-performing major stock indices in the developed world in 2025.</p>
<p>One of the fundamental shifts we've seen this year is the end of the ‘There Is No Alternative' (TINA) status of U.S. stocks, which have dominated global equities since the end of the Great Financial Crisis. This shift began when markets were emerging from the prolonged 2022 bear market.</p>
<p>The most notable example of this trend is <strong>Germany's DAX</strong> index, which comprises the 40 largest publicly listed companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Since the end of the bear market in October 2022, the DAX has returned more than 95% compared to a 42% return for the S&amp;P 500.</p>
<p>All signs point to this outperformance continuing.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcAyWeL98PD4PErirpnL5o3pUyfXvGEw5QKM4nIhsKySkT3XLaUGR_q-8LmJE0OsmIhoeg3Q5tjSFp2evioFp3ZBC023_xVYOnHejQq506Jp47f1GcoCYguB6cFMahiYOvhNlDIAw?key=8ofR2zLIrjVQy99jKqOxKA" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>A gain of more than 40% in less than three years is something investors across history would gladly accept, but the outperformance of European equities compared to the U.S. is stark. There is also reason to believe that European stocks will continue challenging their American counterparts for market supremacy as the U.S. continues to engage in isolationist policies, while European central banks are slashing rates and governments commit to accommodative fiscal policies. </p>
<p>U.S. stocks should never be counted out, especially with consumer sentiment picking up in Q2. However, European stocks currently have more tailwinds, and Germany appears poised to prime its markets with an influx of capital. Today, we'll examine five German companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges (or at least accessible to American investors) that possess fundamental and technical strength, hinting at more upside ahead in the second half of 2025.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SAP SE ADR</h2>
<p><strong>SAP </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) has surged to become one of the largest enterprise software providers in the world, boasting a $341 billion market cap and annual sales revenue of more than $35 billion. The stock has already been up more than 50% in the last year but has traded flat over the previous month on heavy selling volume. However, the uptrend remains in place, and a new entry point could be about to materialize.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdBKy6nVMRW3p8ABP-iWO7RaGiQl63sHD6u5bIjWpVs165lKDheoYtqzwjYVKxYPB3xnG7DMy0wFPduNp2XvaSorX4J6bMMQPjIflqHWUvCxFwDOQd5YtrMAQzc6nntfIqruwCjfQ?key=8ofR2zLIrjVQy99jKqOxKA" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>Before President Trump&#8217;s so-called Liberation Day tariffs sent global markets into a tailspin, SAP shares had been steadily reaching new highs and riding the 50-day moving average for support. Now that those tariffs have been placed on indefinite hold, SAP has rebounded above the 50-day MA, which could once again serve as the stock's support level. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) nearing Oversold and strong Benzinga Edge scores (97.45 for Growth, 90.23 for Momentum), keep an eye on this chart and see if support holds at the 50-day MA.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fresenius Medical Care AG ADR </h2>
<p><strong>Fresenius </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMS#NYSE">FMS</a>) is the world's primary provider of dialysis services and equipment for patients suffering from kidney diseases. The company generates approximately $19.5 billion in annual sales and employs over 123,000 full-time staff members. FMS shares have been a significant winner in 2025, with gains exceeding 26%. Its Benzinga Edge Growth Score of 89.82 suggests a strong foundation for further growth.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfW1GZP1W4lL3UrUfvpXaDBUTah8sj02TT55878TOVCDLO2t5jQXw0va6YVm_m2dKoweUBZDRr_tjOvQgYAbDF1qktp40nUUrv-0iyAYJFwLh0T0e-UpIk1bSMsqPvpISGpn3UDtw?key=8ofR2zLIrjVQy99jKqOxKA" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>FMS had been riding the 50-day MA for support but broke out to new highs in May following a blowout earnings report. The stock has since been consolidating in a bullish wedge pattern characterized by higher lows and lower highs. This pattern often precedes another upside move, and indicators like the 50- and 200-day MAs and the RSI confirm that the uptrend is still in place. A breakout above the wedge pattern would be the entry point signal in this scenario.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BioNTech SE ADR</h2>
<p><strong>BioNTech </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), along with Pfizer, pioneered the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and its shareholders were rewarded with parabolic gains in 2021. The stock briefly topped $350 per share but failed to maintain that momentum as COVID-19 faded and mRNA vaccines have struggled to make breakthroughs in other areas, such as cancer research. However, BioNTech is ready to boost its prospects by acquiring <strong>CureVac N.V.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVAC#NASDAQ">CVAC</a>) in a $1.25 billion cash deal. The acquisition will enhance BioNTech's mRNA pipeline and provide new avenues for important oncology research.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdUf2fFpQq_Q6-pnsslWAkRjbRK2L_p_cxK5OJjxDqijeDsVvIDOxX9nfQrZ66ygT-lZz3abN1yC3m96e6CgoCc01017WYaTGMkbLDX8q6gRHQJ5OPz-jAIxSLc2M5viQB3wkxVAQ?key=8ofR2zLIrjVQy99jKqOxKA" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>Purchasing a promising contemporary like CureVac helps cement the momentum swing from the April lows. The stock has been volatile, but a support level has been forming; it recently broke an eight-day losing streak on the Friday following the acquisition announcement. The next upswing could finally take the stock back over $120 for the first time since January.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rheinmetall AG</h2>
<p>Since we last checked in on <strong>Rheinmetall </strong>(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNMBY#OTC">RNMBY</a>) in the wake of the White House shouting match between President Trump and Ukraine President Zelenskyy, the German-based defense manufacturer has posted its first-ever $10 billion (USD equivalent) quarter. In Q1 2025, Rheinmetall generated $10.48 billion in revenue and $755 million in profits, both records for the company. Profit margins remained strong at 7.2%, marking the eighth instance in the last 10 quarters where profit margins have exceeded 7%.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdmxVbbcdOXWWRhIzh8dl6LRvh0DBSKQmU-pe5qSO8fFSsFmgHeNLaV7-Dvth7Xb8uJZUUHG-QwfwEUfruwMy4pVa6i2mY4f85dbiv2mlbLKJWtFhIuvgN3JVnhJK3JzJh_AHKw_g?key=8ofR2zLIrjVQy99jKqOxKA" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>Germany's government is prepared to increase national defense spending, with fundamental and technical indicators pointing toward further gains. The 50-day MA has been a strong support level, and the RSI has dipped to its lowest point in weeks. A big selloff last week took shares down to the 50-day MA once again before immediately bouncing higher; this could be an ideal entry point for new investors with long-term timeframes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Siemens AG&nbsp;</h2>
<p>If you're looking for German companies focusing on robotics, automation, and healthcare, <strong>Siemens </strong>(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMAWF#OTC">SMAWF</a>) is worth a glance. The company generates 75% of its revenue from Germany, China, and the U.S. and its profit margins have increased from under 5% in 2022 to over 12% in 2025. Margin growth isn't the only thing driving the stock up over 25% this year either.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfz3M6iXDbHBXgxC_VTxubSaxMqlwNi08W04cWfDFrTgbEOVI-_G98vf8C6tPg4rPl-P6z3I_FDdLpTRKpwsfdor5IuRPy79fQ5tBJmShnF01tVHDUO6TqFJeJuKgy9YxyToYqN?key=8ofR2zLIrjVQy99jKqOxKA" alt="" /></figure></p>
<p>The stock formed a Golden Cross when the 50-day MA rose above the 200-day MA in October, sending shares from $185 to $260 in under six months. After the tariff pullback in April, the stock quickly broke back above the 50-day MA but failed to reach new all-time highs, unlike some of its German counterparts. The RSI is fading, which could signal weakening momentum; however, the 50-day MA is also a potential support level, as the overall trend still points upward.</p>

What Does the Market Think About Enphase Energy?

<p>In the current market session, <strong>Oracle Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>)</strong> stock price is at $210.30, after a <strong>2.29%</strong> decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by <strong>31.18%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>45.40%</strong>. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750100421_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" /></p>

<h3>A Look at Oracle P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. </p>
<p>Oracle has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of <strong>95.2</strong> of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750100421_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
