In an article published by Oninvest, Francesco Bergamini, head of Freedom24 Italy, outlines why Europe’s leading companies deserve renewed attention at a time when global markets are dominated by U.S. tech narratives. According to Morning Star, the European tech sector in 2025 remained closer to a fair valuation and did not look as overheated, highlighting Europe as a market of strategic assets. Bergamini explains that Europe’s strength lies in companies that operate at the core of global supply chains and critical industries. Europe’s Magnificent Seven include ASML, the only global producer of EUV lithography machines essential for advanced semiconductors, SAP, Europe’s largest software group following its transition to cloud subscriptions, and LVMH, the world’s largest luxury goods group with enduring brand power and pricing strength. 📊 The group also features Novo Nordisk, a global leader in diabetes and obesity treatments, Siemens, Europe’s industrial technology backbone spanning automation and electrification, TotalEnergies, an integrated energy major combining cash flow generation with investment in the energy transition, and UniCredit, one of Europe’s strongest banking stories with rising profitability and capital strength. Together, these seven companies form Europe’s response to America’s Magnificent Seven, offering leadership in critical industries, resilient cash flows and long-term structural growth. For investors, Europe’s Magnificent Seven highlight a market where valuation discipline, strategic assets and growth drivers converge. ⚙️ 🔗 Read more on Oninvest

Freedom Holding Corp. Founder and CEO Timur Turlov has contributed an analytical article on global stock markets to Advisor, an Italian financial news platform. The article appears within an editorial space dedicated to viewpoints from global financial leaders and senior industry executives, offering readers expert reflections on market trends, portfolio positioning, and cross-border investment dynamics. 📈 In the article, Timur examines the long-standing tendency of investors to prioritise domestic markets and the risks this approach revealed in 2025. As he notes, “American investors have historically tended to concentrate their investments on domestic assets,” a pattern that came at a clear cost when global markets diverged. He highlights the performance gap between US and international markets, noting that “non-US equities (MSCI ACWI ex USA) grew by 33% in dollar terms, while the S&P 500 rose by only 18%.” He also points out that even excluding currency effects, markets outside the US still grew by 25% in local currencies. The article examines these results in the context of improving macroeconomic indicators across international markets, signs of economic recovery in Europe, fiscal stimulus in Germany, easing inflation and rate cuts in the UK, as well as continued growth in Japan and China, alongside a decreasing gap in corporate earnings growth between US and non-US companies. The analysis concludes that “the gap between US and non-US companies is narrowing, which will support the growth of non-US equities,” reinforcing the relevance of looking beyond domestic markets when considering diversification. 🌐 🔗 Read more on Advisor

Freedom24 has hosted a fireside chat in Limassol featuring Daniil Liberman, technology and AI entrepreneur, alongside Freedom Holding Corp. CEO Timur Turlov. The discussion brought global debates on AI, computing power and decentralisation directly to Cyprus, highlighting how these issues are shaping economies, regulation and investment decisions worldwide. 🌍 During the conversation, Liberman shared his background in science, technology, media and entrepreneurship, tracing his path from early computing and research influences to work in Silicon Valley and the founding of multiple technology businesses. The discussion examined how AI infrastructure has become increasingly concentrated among major hardware and cloud providers, as well as the geopolitical implications of access to advanced computing power, placing Cyprus within a broader global context. 🇨🇾 A key focus of the discussion was how these technological shifts translate into real-world economic and strategic challenges. Centralised cloud models and their limitations were examined, with decentralised computing discussed as a potential alternative through the lens of community-governed AI infrastructure. The conversation also touched on energy consumption, efficiency improvements, and why questions around AI, compute access and digital sovereignty are becoming increasingly relevant beyond the technology sector. The event reinforced Freedom24’s ambition to act as a bridge between Cyprus and global technology discourse, offering local audience access to debates usually confined to major innovation hubs. 🌐 🔗Read more on Cyprus Mail

Freedom Holding Corp. CEO Timur Turlov and CTO Renat Tukanov joined Fintech Finance News, a media platform focusing on fintech and finance, to discuss how the company evolved from a single line brokerage into one of the region’s most advanced multi vertical digital ecosystems. This conversation unveils the strategic thinking behind Freedom Holding Corp.’s transformation and the role trust plays in shaping long-term customer relationships. 🌱 During the interview, Timur Turlov explained why the company began with simple, everyday financial services before expanding into more complex offerings. As he noted, “Trust is the foundation. You cannot start by selling people complex financial products. You must first earn their trust with simple, everyday services and only then can you build a long-term relationship that lets the ecosystem grow.” 💬 Renat Tukanov focused on the technology that supports this growth, emphasising that scale requires strong engineering fundamentals. He shared, “Scale is impossible without a disciplined technology foundation. If you try to innovate without strong architecture, infrastructure, and engineering culture, you will break things, lose trust, and pay for it later.” Their insights reflect the broader philosophy behind Freedom Holding Corp’s ecosystem strategy, where trust, technology, and customer experience reinforce each other. This approach allows the company to expand confidently while maintaining the reliability and cohesion that customers expect from a modern financial platform. 🔗 Watch the interview on FF News
