FuelCell Energy, dynaCERT, Linde - Tenbagger opportunities in the hydrogen sector
The goal of gaining independence from Russian oil and gas is pushing politicians to find forward-looking alternative solutions. An agreement between Canada and Germany was reached at the end of August, representing a quantum leap for the hydrogen sector. Hydrogen is seen as a key element in the transport sector for achieving climate targets. At the moment, many companies are still in correction mode. As a result, there are attractive opportunities for disproportionate share price gains in the long term.

BYD, Kleos Space, Bayer - Great opportunities in laggards
Although stock markets continue to correct, driven by geopolitical uncertainties and interest rate fears, some sectors have defied the generally adverse market conditions in recent weeks. For example, renewable energy stocks such as Plug Power more than doubled on the back of Joe Biden's climate change package. However, most companies from other sectors remain at discounted levels despite excellent prospects, which should offer investors good long-term entry opportunities.

BYD, Meta Materials, Pfizer - Full pipeline
Uncertainty returns after the rises of recent weeks. In addition to equities, other asset classes such as precious metals and cryptocurrencies are also falling and marking a multi-week low. Besides the uncertain geopolitical situation, the culprit is mainly the fear of a global recession bundled with rampant inflation. It is challenging to currently filter out the right stocks from this overall negative environment. Nevertheless, many companies are shining with full order books and innovations and should benefit in the long term in the event of a turnaround.

Nel, Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes - It is getting exciting!
The challenges for the implementation of the energy turnaround are great. The desire to make greater use of renewable energy sources increased in light of the Ukraine war and the dependence on Russia that has become visible. Even after the highs of the Corona pandemic, supply chain issues and increased commodity prices continue to weigh. China's sabre-rattling illustrates that globalization not only brings benefits but also creates dependencies. In this respect, it is prudent for countries and industries to increasingly rely on national "solutions" or those that emanate from secure jurisdictions. In the megatrends of hydrogen technology and electromobility, investors should also keep an eye out for exciting companies from the second tier.

Desert Gold Ventures, Deutsche Bank, Barrick Gold - Is the bottom in sight?
Due to the strength of the US dollar and concerns about further interest rate hikes, the precious yellow metal again sank below the threshold of USD 1,700 per ounce in recent months. It marked a new low for the year at USD 1,680.59, which also meant a test of the lowest level from 2021. Since then, however, gold has been rising again, driven by a recovering euro and the positive statements by FED Chairman Powell after the last interest rate hike by 75 basis points. At current levels, a long-term turning point could thus be initiated.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva - Will the fall bring a new boost?
Officials expect the Corona pandemic to intensify sharply in the fall. Already, the number of cases is rising, as is the number of hospitalizations. To be better equipped against the currently prevalent Omicron variant, BioNTech/Pfizer have specifically adapted the Comirnaty vaccine to it. Valneva's recently approved vaccine also provides good protection against Omicron through a broader immune response to its inactivated vaccine. Also involved in vaccine development is the Canadian company Defence Therapeutics. It is currently attracting attention with its cancer-fighting developments and could become a real gem.

BYD, Almonty Industries, BASF - Positive analyst opinions
The first half of the current stock market year brought heavy losses due to political and economic uncertainties. For the leading American index, the S&P 500, this led to the most significant price correction since the 1970s. In Germany, the DAX 40 lost around 20% of its value. Investors are now eagerly awaiting the second quarter results. In addition to Deutsche Bank, carmaker Mercedes-Benz also posted surprisingly good results. The chemical company BASF is also more confident despite the existing gas crisis.

Rheinmetall, Alpha Copper, K+S AG - Leaders in the industries of the future
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock faces major challenges in the global fight against the climate crisis. "We simply cannot afford further postponement and compromise as a world as a whole," the Green politician warned in Berlin on Tuesday ahead of the conclusion of the Petersberg Climate Dialogue. Thus, the German government is accelerating the shift to renewable energies, whatever the cost. As a result, demand for copper will rise sharply. The red metal is currently correcting, and a new entry opportunity with attractive producers is again given. Demand for fertilizers is also likely to increase. Here, too, investors are likely to sense a new opportunity after the past correction.
