Recalculation! These are the bare figures: TUI, Saturn Oil + Gas, Deutsche Bank - Buy prices non-stop!
Companies do not always have good figures in their baggage. Analysts listen very carefully to the words of those in charge. Often, it is only a minor sentence that changes entire valuations. TUI is slowly approaching pre-COVID figures. Saturn Oil & Gas must backtrack slightly because of substantial forest fires in Alberta, and Deutsche Bank aims to finalize the Postbank project in 2023. All three stocks offer good buying opportunities because the long-term prospects are quite convincing.

Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech, BYD - At top speed to new markets
Cardiol Therapeutics is enjoying a remarkable development. The biotech company is now rolling out its ARCHER patient recruitment trial internationally at 35 participating centers. This accelerates research in the development of their therapy to combat myocarditis, a heart inflammation which has been associated with COVID-19 vaccination. For Cardiol Therapeutics, this represents an opportunity to get its therapy approved as an orphan drug. Approval is also at stake for BioNTech. With a multimillion-dollar funding boost, the Company is working on accelerated approval for a vaccine against a virus that caused quite a stir last year. The shortened development time is likely to impress investors. While business nations agree on fighting viruses, they disagree on commodities for the road. The EU would prefer to restrict BYD's successful sales on domestic roads - by imposing tariffs. BYD, meanwhile, is tapping into a completely different market.

dynaCERT, Amazon, FREYR Battery - Those who are focused on CO2 reduction and successful at it
At the Fleet Services Expo in Ottawa, dynaCERT will showcase its "Hydrogen-on-Demand" technology. For the first time, dynaCERT is demonstrating its fully functional HydraGEN™ technology on a company-owned Mercedes Sprinter Van, providing environmentally friendly hydrogen power to fleet vehicles in Ontario. This innovative solution reduces CO2 emissions and also lowers operating costs. On the other hand, as the upcoming seasonal business approaches, Amazon is increasing its workforce, most of whom use non-CO2-reducing vehicles to make deliveries in the US. A renowned institute has, therefore, removed Amazon from the CO2 index. Meanwhile, the Norwegian battery manufacturer FREYR Battery is moving to the US. The Company has filed its documents for incorporation in Delaware and sees a lot of benefits for business expansion and shareholders with its US location.

Turnaround cancelled? Where 100% is possible: Varta, BYD, Manuka Resources
When soccer players move to a better team, it usually comes with higher earnings. Sometimes, the training is more intense, and the tasks off the pitch are more extensive. It is no longer comparable to the idyllic life at their former club. Athletes are then faced with the question, "Give up or bite the bullet?" The situation is similar for battery pioneer Varta, which is implementing its e-car plans with Porsche, of all companies. The sports car manufacturer offers major growth opportunities but is also considered meticulous among engineers. We highlight Varta's stock, take a look at BYD and outline opportunities at a company many have never heard of!

Canopy Growth, Cantourage Group, Aurora Cannabis - Will the price fireworks come after legalization?
For a long time, there was little reason for cannabis investors to rejoice. However, since Bloomberg reported that the US Department of Health and Human Services has asked the DEA to downgrade cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, hopes for legalization are reviving. This downgrade would mean that cannabis would no longer be on par with heroin or other hard drugs. Democrats also want to give businesses in this sector legal access to bank accounts. In Germany, the traffic lights have approved Health Minister Lauterbach's plans to legalize cannabis. We, therefore, look at three companies that are betting on cannabis.

Investing in Value Chains - The End for an Institution: AMS Osram, Volkswagen, Almonty
For years, the Transparent Factory in Dresden was a symbol of confidence at the end of the 1990s: Volkswagen wanted to catch up with the premium class in the modern car factory and had the Phaeton luxury sedan rolling off the production line there until 2016. After several years, during which the ID.3 electric car was manufactured there, the site is on the brink of closure - at least as a production facility. The property in the Elbe metropolis is too chic for VW not to find another use for it. The automotive industry is also undergoing change elsewhere. We outline three current cases and highlight possible investment opportunities.

Stocks for climate change: Nel ASA, Nordex, Klimat X Developments
While climate activists face criticism for their actions at the Brandenburg Gate, the fight against climate change is gaining momentum with stock market investors. For the courageous, there are always exciting opportunities to enter the market. But there are also problem children. Nel ASA has caused little joy among shareholders in recent months. Can the hydrogen pureplay now herald a turnaround? Nordex is also currently working on a turnaround. With success? Those who entered and exited both stocks early enough could reap significant profits. Such an opportunity could still be ahead for newcomer Klimat X Developments. The specialist in CO2 certificates expects the market to increase tenfold within a few years. So, is it time to invest now?

TUI, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall - Is the next upward wave coming?
Today is the day! Once again, the Federal Reserve Bank will tip the scales. Is there another interest rate hike, or, as the consensus expects, will the US central bank pause until further notice? In addition to the actual interest rate step, the markets also react to the statements of the FED members, in which direction they tend in the coming months. Many anticipate an end to the strict monetary policy and see the high interest rate level wavering due to the increased risks of a recession.

ExxonMobil, First Phosphate, Shell - The fight against black gold
In order to combat climate change, politicians and industry are focusing on moving away from coal, oil and gas as quickly as possible. Burning fossil fuels, whether for electricity or in car engines, releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gas and is the primary driver of global warming. But the reality is different. Oil prices continue to rise, and multinationals are reaping record profits. Now, however, a lawsuit from the US could reverse the trend.

Interest rates at a high - What to consider now: Deutsche Bank, Vonovia, Viva Gold
The European Central Bank (ECB) recently raised interest rates by 25 basis points. For many market observers, this could mean that the benchmark interest rate within the Eurozone has reached its peak. In the US, the signs also point to a pause in interest rates. Here, we explain what this means for various asset classes and how investors should navigate the high-interest rate environment. Additionally, we will explore an interest-free alternative that has its merits for various reasons.

Hydrogen on sale! Here is the alternative: BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF, Volkswagen
While the IAA Mobility ended with satisfied faces, it did not bring good vibes to local automotive stocks. More than 500,000 visitors attended to be convinced of innovations for a climate-friendly future. Half of the 750 exhibitors came from abroad, and 109 nations were represented. However, those who went with the expectation of finding major breakthroughs were disappointed. The familiar lithium-ion battery still dominates with over 95% usage. Industrially viable alternatives, however, are already in the development stage. Those who think ahead are opting for modern battery concepts.

Automotive stocks surging - Nikola, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen AG
While BMW faced a setback due to a downgrade by the British investment bank Barclays from EUR 107.50 to EUR 92.50 and the new rating "Underweight", other automotive stocks celebrated significant price gains. Especially in the field of alternative propulsion, there are companies with substantial growth potential that, despite the prevailing market correction, continue to hold promise for sustainable growth.

Deutsche Bank, Globex Mining, Vonovia - What are the consequences of the ECB's latest interest rate hike?
After a long period of zero interest rate policy, the ECB is stepping up the fight against inflation and last week raised interest rates for the 10th time in a row. The effects are very different. For banks, on the one hand, profit may increase via higher interest rates, but it may also decrease if fewer loans can be made. For commodities, the rise in interest rates in Europe could lead to a stronger US dollar. However, this is rather unlikely, as interest rates in the US are still higher. For the real estate sector, rising interest rates are poison. Loans are becoming more expensive, and thus, demand for real estate is falling. Today, we look at one company from each sector.

Unbelievable! Hands off AI, biotech in rebound! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
The big fall decline is now over. It is always a difficult time, but the so-called "Triple Witching" went relatively smoothly this time. The European Central Bank (ECB), in its first interest rate meeting after the summer break, decided to raise key rates by another quarter point to 4.00%, up from the previous 3.75% in July. At the same time, it lowered its inflation forecast for 2025 and the outlook for economic growth in the Eurozone for the years 2023 to 2025. Economic risks are increasing, but inflation remains the determining factor for interest rates. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce an interest rate pause at its next meeting on Wednesday have boosted confidence. Last week's big losers were the recently favoured AI stocks Nvidia, Microsoft and C3.ai. However, the biotech sector has recently started to climb again. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Artificial Intelligence in practice? Nvidia, NorCom, Palantir - The next 100% with Big Data
The stock market is not a one-way street. Investors are trying to ride the wave of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), and corresponding stocks such as C3.ai, Nvidia, Microsoft, or Palantir are performing well in 2023. A new megatrend is underway here, which, according to experts, will continue for several years. However, because of the high valuations in the entire sector, it is worth taking an analytical look. After all, no one knows how long the AI boom will continue to generate decent returns on the stock market. Opportunity-rich stocks still exist in the second and third tier. We are taking a closer look.
