Several constituents such as Nemetschek SE, TUI, and Carl Zeiss Meditec registered declines, indicating a broader market environment of uncertainty. Although flatexDEGIRO’s share price was not directly cited in the release, the timing of the leadership change and voting‑rights disclosure suggests a strategic emphasis on governance and regulatory compliance amid market turbulence.
