Context and risks
Beiersdorf's defensive consumer profile (personal care) gives it low sensitivity to the economic cycle and energy commodities. The rise in interest rates does not materially affect its balance sheet, which has net cash.

Verdict: Hold. The strength of the balance sheet and the NIVEA brand do not compensate for the lack of growth and weak momentum; wait for an improvement in sales or a more attractive valuation.
Main risk: The main risk is the inability to reverse the revenue decline (-4.5%) in a weak consumer environment, which could prolong the growth stagnation and maintain downward pressure on the stock.
