Siemens Up, Watches of Switzerland, Persimmon Down

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Siemens shares rise as much as 3% after the company said the US has lifted export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, allowing it to resume sales in the country. Citi said this is a “clear positive” for the stock.
- Watches of Switzerland shares drop as much as 10%, the most in three months, after the company warned its margin could contract this year, which analysts at Shore said is disappointing following the recovery in profitability seen in FY25. That is overshadowing a solid set of FY25 results.
- UK housebuilders are under pressure on Wednesday, with RBC Capital Markets pointing to concerns that a widening fiscal hole facing the government could lead to a potential rise in taxes and cause a slowdown in the housing market. The drop comes hot on the heels of data out Tuesday showing house prices fell the most in more than two years in June.
