Evotec, Morphosys, Defence Therapeutics: Strong biotech stocks
When thinking of strong biotech stocks in recent years, BioNTech likely came to mind initially. With the successful development of the COVID-19 vaccine, the Mainz-based company advanced to become the new industry high-flyer. But in the meantime, the Company has come back to reality. The coffers are bulging, but vaccine revenues are falling, and the development of the cancer pipeline will still take several years. Therefore, Evotec and Morphosys are currently celebrating a comeback. Analysts are hailing Evotec as the "Tesla of biotech," and price targets are rising. The Morphosys share has increased by more than 100% this year, and analysts believe the value is capable of even more. Due to positive news, investors can speculate on a rebound with Defence Therapeutics.

ChatGPT and AI revolution reaches defence stocks: Palantir, Hensoldt, Star Navigation Systems
The euphoria around ChatGPT and artificial intelligence (AI) is currently electrifying companies and stockbrokers. Chip manufacturer Nvidia is the high flyer of the current year. But high-tech and AI also play an increasing role in the defence and armament sectors. Palantir is also benefiting from this. The share has jumped recently but is still far from its all-time high. The US military has struck again at the software company. But analysts are putting the brakes on the euphoria. Hot stock Star Navigation could soon take off. And MDAX group Hensoldt has taken a stake in an AI specialist and is working on new defence systems.

Commodity shares with price potential: Bayer, K+S, and Almonty Industries in the analyst check
There are no signs of a deep recession in the US at the moment, which is positive for commodity prices and the corresponding companies. What do analysts say? They see a price potential of over 170% for tungsten producer Almonty Industries. With the commissioning of the flagship mine in South Korea, revenues and profits should increase strongly from 2024. After K+S earned brilliantly last year, there is a lack of positive impulses this year. Several analysts have spoken out. Can the DAX-listed company make gains again? At Bayer, the euphoria surrounding the change in the board of directors has faded, and the share price is almost back to where it was at the beginning of the year. But analysts see significant upside potential.

JinkoSolar, BioNTech and First Phosphate with important updates: This is what moves the shares
The energy transition is moving forward. In Germany, the traffic light government seems to have agreed on a new heating law. In the US, the agreement between Democrats and Republicans on the debt ceiling is a good sign for the industry because the promotion of environmentally friendly technologies depends on it. JinkoSolar and First Phosphate, among others, should benefit from this. Both companies have published important updates. There is also important news at BioNTech. However, these are not so positive. When will there be new impulses for the share?

Up to 200% price potential: TUI, BYD, Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas
Low oil price? Impending recession? Nothing seems to be able to touch star investor Warren Buffett's love of oil stocks. On the contrary, Berkshire Hathaway has added to its holdings in Occidental Petroleum in recent weeks, increasing its stake to 24.9%. Analysts also recommend Shell. However, they are calling for a higher dividend, among other things. Investors can soon look forward to a massive dividend from Saturn Oil & Gas. In Q1, Saturn was not only the fastest-growing oil producer in Canada, but analysts also see a share price potential of almost 200%. While TUI is calming down after a turbulent capital increase, analysts continue to issue warnings. BYD's stock remains in a sideways trend. Will success in Indonesia bring about a turning point? Elon Musk, in any case, expresses positive views about the competitor.

Caution with TUI and Varta! Smartbroker Holding with 85% price potential!
At around EUR 6, the TUI share is trading at an all-time low. Is now the time to buy into the tourism group? One analyst warns against it and believes the share price could fall by a third. Caution is also advised with Varta. The former German battery hopeful is fighting for survival. Analysts halve the price target and recommend selling the share. And the shareholders' association SdK is also sounding the alarm. A total loss cannot be ruled out. Instead of catching a falling knife, focusing on shares in an upward trend, such as Smartbroker Holding, is worthwhile. The share is one of the current year's high flyers, and analysts believe further price increases of over 80% are possible. Thanks to the new app, EBITDA could increase more than tenfold.

IPO Price driver: ThyssenKrupp, Volkswagen, Desert Gold
In an IPO, it is not only the newcomer to the stock market that is interesting for investors. A parent company often benefits - e.g. Volkswagen or Mercedes-Benz - when the subsidiary becomes fully or partially independent. Shareholders of ThyssenKrupp are currently hoping for a share price driver. Thus, the IPO of the hydrogen subsidiary nucera. However, analysts are skeptical. Yet, an initial public offering can also pay off for the peer group when investors take a closer look at the industry again. Desert Gold could benefit from this. The neighbour of the gold explorer Allied Gold Corp wants to go public in London. Desert Gold should also benefit from this and help the share to break out. Within the VW Group, the Porsche share has outperformed its parent company since the IPO. Analysts warn: Will Tesla and BYD leave Volkswagen behind?

Movement in the hydrogen sector: What are Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp and dynaCERT doing?
There never seems to be a dull moment in the hydrogen sector. After the horror figures and the announced capital measure at Plug Power, Stellantis' investment in Symbio is a positive signal for the sector. French Symbio is focused on zero-emission hydrogen mobility and was previously owned by the Forvia Group and tyre manufacturer Michelin. Now Stellantis, the third largest car manufacturer in the world with brands like Peugeot, Opel and Fiat, has acquired a 33.3% stake. According to Stellantis, hydrogen fuel cells are necessary to achieve climate protection goals. dynaCERT also wants to contribute to this. Perhaps a big partner will soon join the Canadians? And what is the hydrogen pioneer Nel ASA doing with its partner General Motors? ThyssenKrupp is making its subsidiary look good for the hydrogen IPO.

Drumbeat in the lithium sector! BYD, Standard Lithium and Grid Metals
A major merger is brewing in the lithium sector: Australia's Alkem has announced its intention to take over its US competitor Livent. This is further impetus for lithium shares to complete their sharp correction. The Bank of America, among others, sees light at the end of the tunnel. The price of lithium has stabilized, battery manufacturers have reduced their inventories, and the reopening of China is causing demand to rise. Against the background of the threatened nationalization - or at least partial nationalization - of lithium projects in Chile, investors should closely examine where the mining areas are located. This is where Standard Lithium, active in the US, and Grid Metals, active in Canada, come into play. Are carmakers like BYD, Volkswagen or Tesla grabbing hold of exciting projects in North America?
