ECB test shows Banco Sabadell and Unicaja as institutions with greatest capital deterioration

Renta 4 | On Friday, the ECB released the results of the stress test. This exercise, we recall, does not establish a pass/fail threshold, but is designed to provide additional information for the supervisory review and evaluation process.

Laboratorios Rovi’s gross margin could reach 63% thanks to lower raw material costs and higher sales of Okedi

Renta 4 | Laboratorios Rovi (ROVI) will publish its Q2 2025 results on Thursday 24 July at 10 a.m. We expect some improvement on the figures recorded in the previous quarter, although it is true that the year-on-year comparison in this second quarter is much more challenging, and in this regard, Rovi will present figures that, at first glance, appear worse. Thus, we expect Rovi to report revenues of €160…
