Exciting developments at First Hydrogen, Plug Power, and thyssenkrupp nucera! What they mean for shareholders
Who can satisfy the enormous power demand of data centers and AI infrastructure? Microsoft and Meta have already demonstrated the possible direction forward: nuclear energy and so-called SMRs - small modular reactors. In the United States, there is no long-term alternative to nuclear power. On the other hand, hydrogen should not be underestimated. Plug Power and thyssenkrupp nucera are well-known industry representatives. First Hydrogen is pursuing exciting new approaches. The Canadians have the potential to shake up the industry. This could lead to a massive revaluation of the stock.

Do not miss out! Small and micro cap upside in the cleantech sector with A.H.T. Syngas Technology, Nel, and SFC Energy!
The supply of electricity from renewable energy and climate protection are important issues not only on the political stage, but also on the capital market.

Syngas Technology, on the other hand, is a company that has been completely neglected until now. As a provider of syngas solutions, the company combines climate protection and security of supply.

Key investments – American Atomics, Siemens Energy, and Aixtron!
Nothing works without electricity - the demand for which from AI and electromobility is growing exponentially. Round-the-clock availability is required. Although renewable energy is politically desirable, they carry the risk of dark doldrums. On the other hand, nuclear power is on the rise. Numerous tech giants are relying on this energy source to reliably and low-carbon cover the enormous energy needs of their data centers and AI infrastructures. One stock that remains under the radar of many investors is American Atomics. The company plans to build a fully integrated North American value chain, taking advantage of political and structural tailwinds. Siemens Energy is a blue chip in the energy sector and continues to be rated a "Buy" by analysts. Aixtron is riding the AI wave. How should investors position themselves?

Stock Picking Alert! Huge upside for Power Metallic Mines, TeamViewer at record low, Barrick solid!
One of North America's largest polymetallic deposits is still available at a bargain price. Analysts at Noble Capital Markets believe Power Metallic Mines' stock could nearly triple in value. Renowned industry giants are already among the company's shareholders, giving it the seal of approval. In terms of valuation, the NYSE listing planned for this year will provide a boost. At Barrick, the precious metals boom is leading to record highs. The planned IPO of North American gold assets has not yet been priced in. Meanwhile, frustration prevails at TeamViewer despite megatrends such as AI. Where is it worth getting in now?

These stocks continue to rise: Almonty Industries, RENK, and Steyr Motors. Do not miss out!
The pause near Almonty Industries' all-time high is likely to prove very short-lived. The arguments in favor of buying the stock are too strong. Several analysts have recently raised their price targets. As one of the world's largest producers of the critical raw material tungsten, the company has geopolitical weight, which is increasing in light of initiatives such as those by the US government to build up strategic reserves of rare earths and other critical raw materials. Several analysts have recently been promoting the two defense stocks RENK and Steyr Motors. Who has the edge?

The right stocks, the right timing: Silver Viper Minerals, Siemens, and Infineon – New all-time highs?
Siemens is marching ahead. Business is booming, annual targets have been raised, and the stock is at an all-time high. Infineon is still a long way off the historic levels seen during the New Market era, but it is heading in the right direction. The high price of silver, structural supply deficits, and the growing importance of high-grade properties in established mining regions are bringing Silver Viper Minerals shares into the focus of investor interest – especially after the brief correction at a high level. The timing is right!

Watch out! Gerresheimer slumps 30%, NEO Battery Materials as a game changer, Schott Pharma surprises positively
Many stories of success and failure are written on the stock market. NEO Battery Materials, the game changer in battery technology, is particularly exciting. The Canadian company offers manufacturers of drones, robots, and electric vehicles customizable high-performance batteries produced in the West. With its innovative approach, the company is setting new standards in terms of performance, charging speed, and price, thereby addressing a huge market that experts estimate will grow to around USD 30 billion by 2032. The examples of Gerresheimer and Schott Pharma show how differently companies in the same industry can develop: Schott exceeded market expectations in the first quarter, while Gerresheimer shocked the markets once again.

Megatrend decarbonization: CHAR Technologies in the lead, BASF and Evonik stumbling?
Rising prices, security of supply, and ambitious climate targets are shaping the energy transition. Energy has become a strategic resource. CHAR Technologies converts biological waste into long-lasting carbon products such as biocarbon or biochar, which permanently bind carbon and remove it from the natural carbon cycle. The Canadian company is thus addressing several megatrends at once. Energy-intensive industries such as chemicals have recently been able to breathe a sigh of relief, as the EU appears to be planning to issue free emission allowances for longer than predicted. Nevertheless, the challenges remain considerable. Which companies will ultimately convince investors?

Antimony Resources: This stock is impossible to ignore!
The strategic reserve of critical raw materials and rare earths announced by the United States underscores the profound transformation underway in the commodities sector. Geopolitics is becoming a decisive factor in the valuation of raw material assets. States and governments, as a new and, in the future, the most important investor group, are prepared to pay high and strategically motivated prices to secure supply. Antimony Resources is set to benefit massively from this development. The Canadian company owns the largest antimony deposit in North America. Antimony is indispensable, particularly in military and security-critical applications.

New analyst comments: Almonty Industries at all-time high, volatility at Rheinmetall and RENK – What is next?
The latest analyst ratings assess the growth prospects of Almonty Industries and several defense companies. The tungsten producer's stock stands out as particularly positive. The high price level of this critical raw material, combined with rising production volumes, is acting as an enormous profit lever with net margins of around 60% from 2028 onwards. The bottom line is that the experts' verdict on defense stocks is positive. The big picture underpinning this outlook is the tense geopolitical situation and massive increases in defense budgets.
