Plug Power, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, JinkoSolar - Shares for the future
Since the Ukraine crisis at the latest, it has been clear that the energy policy will have to look different in the future. While the end of fossil fuels has been heralded before, the transition must now happen faster than initially planned. Hydrogen could play a major role in heavy-duty transportation and energy-intensive industries. In electricity, renewables such as wind and solar power are expected to play a key role. But there are promising developments not only in the energy sector but also in medical technology. Cancer is on the rise worldwide, and any development that helps fight it is welcome. Today we look at stocks from the hydrogen, medical technology and solar power sectors.

Alibaba, mm2 Asia, Tencent - Profits with entertainment shares from Asia
Ever since the Internet entered our everyday lives, companies that produce content and make it available to customers have been making profits. It does not matter whether it is web content, movies, music or computer games. In recent months, companies from China have suffered from the Chinese government's regulations. But that could now come to an end. In mid-March, the Chinese government declared that it supports listings on foreign stock exchanges. Therefore, today we look at three companies that offer entertainment to their customers with their content and analyze their potential.

Infineon, Edison Lithium, BYD - Raw material shortage for electric cars
The shift from combustion engines to electric cars poses new challenges for production. An electric vehicle requires significantly more chips, more copper and more raw materials such as nickel and lithium for the batteries. Most recently, the nickel price climbed to over USD 100,000 per ton, partly due to the sanctions against Russia. But the price of lithium is rising. The demand for batteries is still significantly higher than the supply after the rethinking of the automotive industry. Today, we highlight two problem areas and look at an electric vehicle manufacturer.

Rheinmetall, Kleos Space, Lufthansa - Which shares benefit from the war-related supply chain problems?
Supply chain problems began in earnest with Corona, and just when it seemed the situation was returning to normal, the Ukraine conflict started. We are already seeing the effects in the supermarket today. Once again, no toilet paper, and you also have to be lucky with cooking oil, pasta and flour. But the industry is also suffering, with the automotive, pharmaceutical and chemical sectors being particularly affected. It is not only due to a lack of materials but also to longer transport routes, as Russia, for its part, has closed its airspace to foreign machinery. Imports from China thus have a longer route - the only alternative remains shipping, which in turn is significantly slower.

TUI, Desert Gold, Steinhoff - Cheap Shares, bargain hunters watch out
Today, we look at three companies whose share prices appear cheap at first glance and then analyze which candidates have potential. An affordable stock is not necessarily cheap, just as an expensive stock is not automatically expensive. The problem with many retail investors is that they do not have the money to buy a few Amazon shares. Therefore, smaller stocks are more likely to be found, especially in smaller portfolios. One should look at the market sentiment of a company and its fundamentals to avoid betting on the wrong horse if possible.

Plug Power, dynaCERT, Nel ASA - Hydrogen market worth billions
The German government wants to become independent of Russian energy imports as soon as possible. One way to achieve this could be green hydrogen. Markus Söder recently called for more hydrogen pipelines to be built quickly. It is no wonder as it is a long way from wind farms in the north or ports in the Netherlands to Bavaria. Interest in hydrogen in Europe is high. The EU Commission wants to increase hydrogen production to 25 gigawatts by 2030. Already in February Goldman Sachs drew attention to the hydrogen topic. It considers hydrogen to be an important factor on the way to a zero-emission economy and expects the industry to grow strongly. The Ukraine crisis gives a corresponding tailwind.

K+S, MAS Gold, Hensoldt - Shares around fertilizers, gold and armaments on the upswing
Even in times of crisis, there are always winners. In the case of the Ukraine crisis, these are the fertilizer producers due to the lack of wheat from Russia and Ukraine. With their fertilizers, wheat producers are trying to at least partially meet the excess demand. Gold managed to break out on the upside after the war began and is still considered a safe haven. Last but not least, of course, the defense industry is benefiting from the war drive. Today, we take a look at one company from each sector.

BASF, Globex Mining, Deutsche Post - Undervalued stocks belong in the portfolio
At the moment, there are many hot spots on the stock exchange, not only the Ukraine crisis, inflation or the Corona pandemic but also the expected interest rate hikes. The latter are announced for next Wednesday, March 16. But will the rate hike come while the Ukraine conflict is smoldering? Embargoes of the Western countries burden their own economy, and at the same time, Russia threatens with a stop of energy exports, which are partially not yet suspended. The Corona numbers are rising again, and Karl Lauterbach has warned of a summer wave. Inflation is rising all the time. All these factors have caused some stocks to collapse that are worth investing in now. We take a look at three stocks that we believe are undervalued.

Rheinmetall, Triumph Gold, Siemens Energy - Safe havens despite the crisis?
The Ukraine crisis finally broke the camel's back. Previously, neither the announcement of interest rate hikes nor galloping inflation could move the stock markets to a proper correction. With the beginning of the Russia attack on Ukraine, the indices have lost significant value. Mutual economic embargoes weaken each other, and in the end, the consumer will pay the bill. But as in every crisis, there are winners. Weapons manufacturers are suddenly booming, the price of gold has soared, and renewable energies are being given extra support to ensure independence from Russian energy imports. Today, we look at one company from each of the three sectors.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Oil as the winner of the crisis
There are increasing signs that the EU wants to free itself from Russian oil and gas supplies as quickly as possible. Bloomberg writes that they want to cut back supplies by 80% within a year. Other sources report over 66%. If Russia is subject to an oil and gas embargo, there is a risk that commodity prices in these areas will continue to rise significantly. Even the US is currently considering an import ban on Russian oil. Since then, there has been no stopping the oil price. The primary beneficiaries are the oil and gas producers, three of which we are taking a closer look at today.
