At the same time, political instability in France and broader geopolitical uncertainty kept investors cautious.

Among key movers, Beiersdorf plunged over 4% after narrowly missing third-quarter sales growth expectations.

Autos also faced pressure, led by Mercedes Benz-Group, which dropped 4% as it lowered its 2026 profit margin outlook for its core cars division, citing tougher market conditions in China and higher costs in Q4..In contrast, Porsche advanced 1.7% in the MDAX after reporting a recovery in profit over the first nine months of the year and reaffirming its 2026 outlook.

Technology and AI-related stocks such Siemens Energy, Infineon Technologies, SAP were among the top performers.

Investors parsed a fresh raft of corporate earnings while digesting the ECB’s latest monetary policy decision.

Most sectors gained, led by banks, consumer goods, telecom and industrials. Rheinmetall and Deutsche Bank were among the top performers, surging 4.4% and 3.4%, respectively. Adidas rose 3.5%, buoyed by record profits and an upgraded full-year outlook, while Airbus advanced 3.2% after keeping full-year forecasts and production plans and reporting mixed quarterly earnings. On the flip side, Vonovia (-3%) remained at the bottom, as it adopted a more cautious full-year outlook and revised some 2028 targets following preliminary nine-months results.
