FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - With a further adjustment of its forecast for 2023, the technology group Süss Microtec attracted investors to its side this time on Wednesday afternoon. The shares jumped by more than 16 percent to almost 20 euros, leaving the 21-day line for the short-term trend behind and heading for the 50-day line for the medium-term trend. The share price gap that emerged at the end of October following the downward adjustment of the forecast at the time has now been closed.

The SDax company is selling its Microoptics division to the Focuslight Technologies Group and has therefore adjusted its forecast once again. The transaction volume amounts to 75.5 million euros. One trader assessed this as very positive overall. For Suess, this was a "nice profit out of the ordinary". The division had previously been a burden due to its lower margins./ajx/jha/
