Renk in the defense boom - Power Metallic Mines and BYD are also high flyers and uniquely positioned
In a world rapidly moving towards decarbonization, companies that have long operated in the shadow of well-known tech giants are suddenly in the spotlight.

The stocks of the three companies presented here have one thing in common: they have risen significantly in recent weeks. Renk through high-precision technology for the defense and automotive industries, Power Metallic Mines through essential metals, and BYD through disruptive mobility concepts.

BYD, Benton Resources, Nordex – Copper Boom: The hidden treasure of the greentech industry
In a world balancing between climate targets and geopolitical tensions, three companies are working on the future of the energy and mobility transition and depend on critical raw materials like copper. While the 2025 German federal election is reigniting the debate on renewable energies – with demands for clear framework conditions for wind power and critical voices from the political arena – other players are pushing ahead with disruptive technologies. BYD showcases the future with AI-driven assistance systems. Benton Resources is unlocking key resources for green technologies like copper, nickel, zinc, and gold, and Nordex receives record orders despite uncertain markets. These companies have more in common than their focus on sustainability: they represent a new era of innovation in which strategic decisions made today determine tomorrow's competitiveness.

Palantir, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold – WATCH OUT: These stocks are on the move!
The tech industry celebrates Palantir as an AI pioneer: With a 390% price increase in 2024 and a forecast of USD 3.75 billion in revenue in 2025, the Company is convincing with its government and commercial AI solutions – but the P/E ratio of 600 raises sustainability questions. Meanwhile, First Nordic Metals is building on exploration momentum in the Scandinavian gold sector: new anomalies and cost-efficient drilling techniques are driving the stock. Barrick Gold, in turn, combines robustness (19% revenue growth) with geopolitical challenges in Mali and long-term, large-scale projects.

TUI stock weak after numbers – Nova Pacific Metals and Super Micro Computer fare much better
The latest quarterly figures from TUI disappointed investors. Despite optimistic booking forecasts, the share price corrected by up to 17% within two days after the expected revenue targets were missed. This raises questions about the sustainability of the travel Company's comeback, which most recently wanted to appeal to new customer groups with low-cost offers. Nova Pacific Metals and Super Micro Computer present a very different picture. Nova Pacific's share price rose by over 80% within three days. Super Micro is raising hopes of a turnaround despite delisting risks due to a new auditor and attractive AI prospects – supported by a low P/E ratio of 10. We take a closer look at the three companies.

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, BP – Here are the opportunities of the new US energy policy
The global energy transition is at a crossroads. Electric vehicles will likely prevail in the long term, but not everywhere and not through mandates. The US aims to provide affordable energy and wants to promote oil and gas production while focusing on nuclear power in the form of small modular reactors. With these mini-nuclear power plants, hydrogen could be produced cheaply, taking the technology a decisive step forward. This could solve some of the issues electric vehicles face, which would be a boon for the transportation industry, which is subject to green regulations. We are, therefore, looking at the largest US hydrogen player today and taking a closer look at First Hydrogen, which specializes in hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles. Finally, we will analyze BP, a major oil producer.

Palantir, Desert Gold, MicroStrategy – Profits with data, gold, and Bitcoin
In times of looming trade war and high volatility, as recently triggered by DeepSeek, one should invest in booming business models. Otherwise, in these turbulent times, it is wise to move at least part of your portfolio into "safe havens." Traditionally, this has been gold, but for the younger generation, who are more willing to take risks, it is cryptocurrencies. To outperform the market in the long term requires patience and foresight. Today, we look at three companies in the fields of data processing, gold, and cryptocurrencies and examine where the risks and opportunities lie.

Alibaba, Credissential, MicroStrategy – Innovative business models: where is the hidden potential?
This week, the latest announcement by the US Federal Reserve that key interest rates would remain unchanged for the time being only briefly provided some reassurance. Instead, concerns about the ongoing risk of stagflation and the disruptive power of artificial intelligence are dominating the debate. Three companies, seemingly separated by industries and national borders, have more in common than first glance suggests: they have all deeply embedded digitalization in their DNA and are pursuing growth strategies. Today, we look at which business models could face challenges due to US tariffs and which ones appear safe.

Siemens Energy, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium: short-term pressure, long-term opportunities
Even though the lithium price is at rock bottom, many indicators are signalling a long-term recovery of the lithium market. Demand for lithium-ion batteries is being fueled by the increased use of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energies. At the same time, producers are already reacting with project delays and mine closures, which could create short-term supply bottlenecks. Given that the EU sources 79% of its lithium from China, a possible trade war should prompt the EU to seek alternatives. Analysts expect a stabilization by 2026 at the latest as the energy transition is progressing. Those who believe in the further electrification of the world should invest now, as the long-term prospects are promising.
