The analysts at Berenberg have begun coverage of M1 Klinken AG and have recommended the share as a buy.

Thanks to its strategy "highest quality at the best price", the company has been able to achieve annual growth rates of around 30% since 2014. The investment of MPH Health Care, which is also listed on the stock exchange, should also grow significantly in the future. The driving forces are the increasing market penetration in Germany and the international rollout.
