Rockstar Games is set to release Grand Theft Auto VI on 19 November, one of the most anticipated launches in gaming history. Freedom24 analysts looked at the key indicators Romanian investors should watch and the factors that could shape the long-term performance of Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company. 🎮 The main point of the analysis is that a successful launch does not automatically mean a higher share price. Expectations for Take-Two are already high: recent price targets include $285 from Goldman Sachs and $310 from JPMorgan. If the market has already priced in a record-breaking release, GTA VI will need to beat those expectations, not just meet them, to lift the stock further. "GTA VI will undoubtedly be one of the most significant releases in gaming history. But for investors, including those in Romania, commercial success is only the first step. Until the November launch, market sentiment will largely be driven by expectations. After release, the focus will shift to sales, the financial outlook and long-term monetization. For Take-Two, the real challenge will be turning GTA VI's initial success into a sustainable source of recurring revenue," says Radu-Iulian Pădurean, Freedom24 📊 🔗 Read the full analysis in Business Review

Following an improved assessment of risk in the banking sector of Kazakhstan, Freedom Holding Corp.’s largest operating market, S&P Global Ratings has revised the outlook on the long-term issuer credit ratings of the group and its four core subsidiaries from stable to positive. The long- and short-term ratings on the operating subsidiaries were affirmed at BB-/B, while the rating on Freedom Holding Corp. was affirmed at B-. S&P also raised the Kazakhstan national-scale ratings on Freedom Finance JSC and Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC to kzA from kzA-. The subsidiaries covered by the action are Freedom Finance JSC, Freedom Finance Global PLC, Freedom Bank Kazakhstan JSC, and Freedom Finance Europe Ltd., which operates under the Freedom24 brand. S&P revised its industry risk score for Kazakhstan from 7 to 6, citing continued improvement in banking regulation and supervision, the capital accumulated in the system and sovereign strength, which the agency expects to support financial stability through business and economic cycles. 🌐 Assessing the group's stand-alone credit profile, S&P describes Freedom Finance as "the largest retail brokerage franchise in Kazakhstan, with an expanding presence in Europe", complemented by banking and insurance operations. "The positive outlook is a meaningful vote of confidence in the direction of Freedom24 and the wider group," said Evgenii Tiapkin, CEO of Freedom24. "It recognises the discipline we have built across capital management, compliance and risk governance. For us, the message is clear: sustainable growth must be earned through strong fundamentals. As Freedom24 expands across Europe, we will continue to scale the business without compromising the standards that underpin client trust." 🔗 Read more on our website

Speaking to Revista Risco, the finance section of the Portuguese business platform Executive Digest, João Lampreia, market expert at Freedom24, explains that the current defence cycle cannot be read as a reaction to geopolitical conflict but as a prolonged shift in state budget priorities. "When something grows for 11 consecutive years and its share of GDP reaches multi-year highs, we are no longer facing a cycle." In June 2025 NATO members committed to spending 5% of GDP on defence by 2035. João notes that these commitments are backed by parliamentary votes and cannot be reversed in a single budget year, which is why manufacturers can now see five to ten years of orders ahead. Markets have not priced the sector evenly, and Lampreia's structure for defence exposure follows that split. It runs in three tiers: 50-60% core in diversified manufacturers with solid backlogs and moderate multiples, 25-30% in European second-tier names that have won contracts but have not been revalued, and 15-20% in supply chain technology, where the valuation premium is lowest and resilience to partial de-escalation is highest. As João puts it, the spending comes at a cost, and that cost falls outside the defence sector. Governments either borrow, which pushes up interest rates and sovereign spreads, or they cut elsewhere in the budget, and SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) is already warning that some are simply widening what counts as defence to reach the target. He goes further in the full interview, covering whether the sector meets the definition of a bubble, the four criteria he uses to select companies, where the geographic asymmetries sit between Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific, and why the adjacent industrial supply chains may benefit more durably than defence itself. 🛡 Read more in Executive Digest

Greek households are among Europe's most cautious savers, holding around 60% of their financial assets in deposits and cash. Over 2021-2025, a new Freedom24 study finds that when cumulative inflation reached 17%, holding cash carried a cost of its own. Dimitrios Haritos, Head of Investment Advisory Department at Freedom24, illustrated the gap with the example of €10,000 held over the five years: 🔻 In a savings account: around €10,200 nominally, worth about €8,300 in real purchasing power. 🔺 In the FTSE/ATHEX Large Cap: around €27,450, a real return of roughly 155% after inflation. While past returns do not guarantee future performance, the point stands for the period measured: deposits alone did not keep pace with inflation. 📊 "There is no investment without risk. But there is also the risk of not investing," Haritos told NewsOnline.gr. Deposits and property are not wrong choices in his view. He shares the importance of balance and diversification, supported by a supervised financial institution, certified advisers and a long-term horizon. According to Dimitrios Haritos, the majority of Freedom24 client activity goes to the US market, drawn by artificial intelligence, semiconductors and cybersecurity. The Greek stock exchange, concentrated in banks, energy and infrastructure, covers little of that. ETFs are gaining ground alongside it, giving access to entire indices such as the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq-100 with diversification, liquidity and low management costs. 🇺🇸 Read the full article in NewsOnline.gr

Freedom24, the European investment platform and financial technology firm, a division of Freedom Holding Corp., views Switzerland as a market of long-term strategic interest and is exploring opportunities to establish a presence in Geneva. 🇨🇭 The assessment will focus on areas where Switzerland’s established expertise aligns with Freedom24’s existing capabilities, including wealth management, digital financial infrastructure, responsible artificial intelligence and data governance. Among the opportunities under consideration are models combining the relationship-driven approach associated with Swiss wealth management with proprietary technology developed across the Freedom Group. Freedom24’s existing European infrastructure includes Tradernet, its proprietary investment platform, and Neo Compliance, an AI-powered framework supporting compliance and risk-management processes. This experience will inform the company’s assessment of the Swiss market and the role a future Geneva presence could play in its European development. 📊 Freedom24 also intends to deepen its engagement with Switzerland’s financial, technology and research communities as it evaluates the market and develops its longer-term plans. “Switzerland has long set the benchmark for wealth management, institutional discipline and client trust,” said Evgenii Tiapkin, CEO of Freedom24. “Geneva is a natural place for us to explore how these strengths can be combined with our technology and European operating experience. We are approaching the market with a long-term perspective and will shape our plans carefully, in dialogue with local stakeholders and in accordance with the Swiss regulatory framework.” Any future activities in Switzerland would be structured in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and subject to any necessary authorisations.

The Oberbank Open was won by Germany's Ruben Gideon Köllner. Olga Badelka finished sixth overall in the Open and claimed the Women's National Championship title. Veronika Exler took silver with six points and Alina Donets took bronze with five points.

August to October has historically been the weakest three-month stretch for the S&P 500, with average returns close to zero and deeper temporary declines, according to Bank of America data cited by Freedom24. "The relevant question for an investor during this period is not whether there will be a correction, but how well the portfolio is prepared to cope with different scenarios," says Radu-Iulian Pădurean, Freedom24. "Discipline and a balanced portfolio structure may matter more than trying to anticipate the perfect moment to exit or return to the market." Freedom24 analysts point to five areas investors typically review in periods like this: ▪️ Portfolio balance. After a strong run, individual positions can grow into a larger share than originally intended, which raises concentration risk. ▪️ Liquidity. A cash reserve allows for gradual adjustments, yet at the same time, too much exposure to cash can mean missing out on a rapid market recovery. ▪️ Core and tactical split. Some investors separate a long-term allocation from a smaller flexible portion used for short-term moves. ▪️ Timing of entries. Spreading purchases over time reduces reliance on any single entry point. ▪️ Diversification. Depending on risk profile, quality bonds or gold through ETFs are among the instruments that can soften fluctuations. A weak seasonal pattern says something about how wide the swings may be, but very little about where the market ends the quarter. That will come down to the tone the Fed and the ECB take in September, bond yields, oil prices and whether AI spending starts showing up in margins and cash flow. Portfolio structure is the part an investor can settle in advance, and it is easier to adjust now than during a selloff 🧭 Read more in Ziarul BURSA
