1332 GMT - Auto-parts maker Continental's expected sale of its ContiTech business is a positive move as the remaining company will be a clean tire asset once the transaction is concluded in 2026, Deutsche Bank analyst Christoph Laskawi writes. While ContiTech has been struggling more recently, cash generation and margin potential especially in the industrial division have been decent overall. The transaction will allow the tire business to reduce debt quickly and move to become a cash return story with a very healthy balance sheet, he adds. "According to management, synergies have been limited between ContiTech and tires which is why there should be close to zero dyssynergies from the disposal." Shares fall 4.1%.
