Volkswagen, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium as a winner in the crisis: Why analysts are predicting a rally despite the chaos
The global energy transition is catapulting lithium into the spotlight. As an indispensable raw material for batteries, the electrification of mobility and energy infrastructure has fueled demand enormously. But after the hype, prices plunged from record highs to below USD 10,000. Now, there are increasing signs of a trend reversal: Production cutbacks, a predicted demand explosion of around 20% this year, strategic investments by large corporations, and technological leaps in extraction could curb the oversupply. Is lithium on the verge of returning as the scarce "white gold"? The stage seems to be set for a revaluation of the market.

Evotec, NetraMark, Novo Nordisk – From the lab to a golden digital future with artificial intelligence
The pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a revolution that is changing everything! Artificial intelligence is sweeping through laboratories and breaking with old habits. Algorithms scour billions of chemical structures in record time, uncovering hidden treasures of active ingredients. While years used to pass before a drug entered the testing phase, AI models are now picking up the pace. Heavyweights like AstraZeneca are in a neck-and-neck race with start-ups. Who will be the first to crack incurable diseases? The goal is to tailor therapies, revolutionize clinical studies, and save lives. Only those who use AI will remain competitive and be able to offer patients innovative drugs faster. The era of data-driven medicine has begun.

Barrick Gold, Golden Cariboo Resources, Deutz – Seeking a safe haven? Gold shines, Weapons boom!
In turbulent times, investors flee to safe havens – but in addition to gold, defense stocks are now taking center stage. The price of gold is climbing to record levels in the face of geopolitical crises, trade conflicts, and a weakening US dollar, supported by demand from emerging markets such as China and India. At the same time, defense companies are booming: military spending is rising globally, NATO commitments are fueling the market, and complex supply chains are exacerbating scarcity. Companies like Rheinmetall are shining with record share prices and competing with gold as a crisis investment. A new era of hedging is dawning, in which both precious metals and weapons technology are becoming symbols of risk-averse capital.

Commerzbank, Desert Gold, Strategy – A EUR 900 billion debt avalanche – Which stock best protects against inflation?
Germany is at a crossroads: With a planned debt surge of EUR 900 billion for infrastructure and defense, inflation, rising interest rates, and a possible loss of the top credit rating are looming. In this uncertain environment, investors seek protection – but where are the opportunities? Commerzbank offers traditional banking with interest, while Desert Gold is profiting from the precious metals boom. And then there is Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which aims to protect investors' money from devaluation with Bitcoin as "digital gold" while also profiting from increases in the cryptocurrency price.

SAP, MiMedia, Alibaba – Why Cloud Services are the Gold mines of the Future
Microsoft once again set a milestone in the second quarter of 2025 with a turnover of USD 69.6 billion. Driven by cloud services, which increased by 21%, and artificial intelligence (AI), which grew by 175%, the tech giant exceeded analysts' expectations. Azure and cloud services alone grew by 31%, while the AI business generated USD 13 billion. But the race has only just begun: Microsoft plans to spend USD 80 billion on AI data centers, which is just a fraction of the global investments that are expected to catapult the cloud market to USD 2.4 trillion by 2030. Who is footing the bill for the hunger for AI? And who stands to benefit most? The answers lie in the cloud.

Bayer, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech – Making money with biotech and pharmaceutical innovations
More and more investors are betting on companies that are leaving traditional therapeutic paths to rethink cancer, chronic inflammation, or nutritional issues. While some corporations struggle with their balance sheets due to mountains of debt and patent expirations, others are quietly developing technologies that crack the metabolic code of diseases. Whether anti-aging tests from saliva samples, mRNA-based cancer cocktails, or active ingredients that overcome the blood-brain barrier – the stock market rewards those who combine research success with strategic risk-taking. But which companies have what it takes to develop the blockbusters of tomorrow? Let's take a closer look at three companies.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – The EU and Germany are pumping billions into hydrogen – who is cashing in?
As the global search for alternatives to oil and gas gathers pace, hydrogen could become the secret star of the energy transition. Green hydrogen could become a game changer not only for factories but also in the transport sector. The EU has now launched a multi-billion funding program – in Austria alone, 112,000 tons of green hydrogen are to be produced with it, and in Lithuania, 13,000 tons. One thing is clear: from 2027, it will be noticeably more expensive at the gas station. Experts expect price jumps of between 38 cents and 1 euro per liter. Suddenly, many are looking again more closely at emission-free drives. Innovative companies are driving this technology forward and positioning themselves as pioneers of an emission-free era. Opportunities are opening up for investors. Those who invest in hydrogen players early on could benefit from the upheaval in the energy and automotive industries. But which companies are setting the trends?

Renk Group, Almonty Industries, Hensoldt – NATO calls for an arms race!
In a world where geopolitical fires are shaking the global security architecture, an industrial arms race is forming behind the scenes. While NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week once again emphasized the "urgent need" for accelerated arms production – from drones to satellites – European states are setting record sums in motion: Germany is loosening its debt brake for a EUR 500-billion special fund, and the EU is planning military loans of 150 billion. But who will benefit if Europe wants to reduce not only its defense budgets but also its dependence on US arms deliveries? Three companies are in the spotlight whose stocks have long been surfing in the wake of the arms race. Where is it worth getting in?

thyssenkrupp, Globex Mining, Super Micro Computer – Defense, critical raw materials, and the AI boom drive profits
As the world moves towards a new era of tariffs, resource wars, and technology hegemony in 2025, there are three companies that can profit from the current hot topics. The EU has not only expanded its list of critical raw materials but has also announced billion-euro investments in domestic supply chains. This shows how important access to critical raw materials is for keeping one's economy running. Thyssenkrupp is taking advantage of the demand for high-security technology for maritime projects, Globex Mining is controlling key raw materials for high-tech projects and decarbonization, and Super Micro Computer is cooling the servers that are making the AI boom possible in the first place.

dynaCERT – In the fast lane with hydrogen technology and CO2 certificates
The world is at a critical crossroads in terms of decarbonization. Developed countries are increasingly relying on regulatory levers to force change. For example, from 2025, EU fleet operators will have to drastically reduce their CO₂ emissions per km, while in the US, stricter limits for heavy-duty commercial vehicles will apply from 2027. However, the road to compliance is rocky: half of European companies are not yet aware of the new reporting requirements, and over 20% of fleets lack emissions data altogether. As a result, the market for climate technology is booming. But what solutions can bridge the gap between regulatory pressure and operational implementation? The focus is on companies that build bridges between ambitious goals and practical applicability. In this context, it is worth taking a look at players like dynaCERT, whose technology comes into play precisely where politics, climate science, and operational reality collide.
