BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Shares with blockbuster potential!
Developing a blockbuster drug is the highest achievement in the pharmaceutical industry. A blockbuster is defined as a drug that can generate more than USD 1 billion in revenues per year. According to experts, the vaccine Comirnaty, developed by BioNTech and Pfizer, is likely to have brought in sales of well over USD 30 billion, thus clearly breaking the blockbuster barrier. Outside of vaccine research, there are also numerous companies with high long-term potential.

Saturn Oil + Gas, BYD, Bayer - Winning with strong companies
When oil futures were trading in negative territory even for a short time at the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in the spring of 2020, many experts assumed that the black gold would remain at a low level in the long term. Only JPMorgan spoke at that time of a possible supercycle and prices over USD 100 per barrel. The analysts cited the supply shortage due to the swing towards green energy production as the reason. Due to the Ukraine crisis, supply has once again been drastically reduced, which is likely to fuel oil prices in the long term.

Nordex, Phoenix Copper, E.ON - Under power
The Ukraine war is making the stock markets nervous. Once again, we realize that normality can end overnight. Massive sanctions have hit Russia. The dependence on our eastern neighbor for energy and raw materials is becoming abundantly clear. The oil and gas prices are soaring, which again strengthens the desire to rely on renewable energies. The growth of electromobility should gain further momentum due to current developments.

Kleos Space, Palantir, Deutsche Bank - Data like gold
The nervousness caused by the dramatic situation in Ukraine is also spreading to the global capital markets. Germany's leading index, the DAX, fell to a new low for the year of 12,431.50 points. By contrast, gold, the crisis currency, was bullish and put an initial exclamation mark above the USD 2,000 per ounce mark. Data providers such as Kleos Space and Palantir, whose Gotham software provides analyses for the US armed forces, among others, are also in demand.

dynaCERT, SFC Energy, Coinbase - These are the winners!
The war in Ukraine, which is expected to last even longer, continues to weigh on the stock markets. The majority of the world community is determined to quell Putin's aggressiveness with all kinds of sanctions and bans, costing them a lot. More and more Western oil companies are leaving Russia. The share price of Gazprom, the world's largest producer of natural gas, has been pulverized in recent days. However, some sectors should also benefit from this mixed situation.

K+S, Globex Mining, Barrick Gold - On the road to success
The stock markets will certainly remain nervous for some time to come given the war in Ukraine and Putin's threatening nuclear gestures. But where there is uncertainty and risks, there are also opportunities. The big picture favors commodity investments: precious metals as a crisis currency, battery metals with high demand due to the energy transition, and agricultural commodities. We take a look at shares that offer good opportunities.

MAS Gold, Nordex, Hensoldt - Profit from the crisis!
War in Europe! After the end of the Balkan conflict and the ceasefire in Northern Ireland and the Basque country, no one could have imagined that it could happen again so quickly. On the stock exchanges, armed conflicts seldom cause storms of enthusiasm. On the contrary, investors take refuge in supposedly "safe investments," such as precious metals. Therefore, it is all the more important to closely examine the news situation in order to identify which stocks can benefit from the overall negative situation.

Dt. Telekom, Barsele Minerals, Munich Re - Top opportunities with discount!
In the last few days, what was supposed to be prevented by diplomacy has become the bitter truth. Russia, in the person of Russian President Putin, has made the decision for a military operation and has advanced with its troops into eastern Ukraine. A heavy blow for the stock market, sending the DAX temporarily down more than 5% below the 14,000 point mark. That political stock markets have short legs has been shown all too often in the past. As a result, investors should take a closer look at companies that have lost significant value due to the Ukraine crisis but are making significant fundamental progress.

Barrick Gold, Ximen Mining, Yamana Gold - Outperform with gold stocks!
Unsettled times are good for gold investors. The precious metal has risen by 5% since the beginning of the year. At times it was quoted above the USD 1,900 per ounce mark again.

The NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index, which tracks the most important international gold producing mining companies, topped this performance with a plus of 25%. Thus, the sector clearly outperformed the global stock markets recently. Rising precious metal prices are also the hour of explorers and developers.
