Schaeffler is trading at €5.71, down 4.52%, as inflation and rate concerns weigh on European industrial stocks.
- Hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation revived concerns about further Federal Reserve rate hikes; Reuters also reported broader pressure on European shares amid a global AI-stock selloff and higher borrowing-cost fears.
- Schaeffler announced preliminary third-quarter results and about €240 million in E-Mobility charges on October 13; reports do not establish these as the direct cause of the October 15 drop.
