Bayer with a blockbuster! Vonovia weak! And how are Desert Gold shares doing?
While the DAX, Dow & Co. started the new year weakly, Bayer shares are holding up surprisingly well and can maintain the price gains from the end of 2023. The share price is being supported by positive news. A new blockbuster is waiting in the wings. Vonovia shares, on the other hand, are suffering from profit-taking, although analysts see further upside potential. Is concrete gold celebrating a comeback? And what about real gold? The price has weakened recently, but analysts believe USD 2,200 per ounce is possible, and central banks continue buying heavily. This should benefit not only the major gold producers but also low-cost explorers such as Desert Gold.

Price rockets 2024? Bayer, Siemens Energy and dynaCERT
Analysts expect Siemens Energy shares to gain 50% in the new year. But have the problems from 2023 really been dealt with? There are doubters, and their price targets are significantly lower. Bayer has also had a challenging year. The share was one of the weakest DAX stocks in 2023. Will 2024 bring new momentum? At least 2023 ended with an important stage victory. But analysts remain skeptical. There are reasons for a pleasing share price performance in 2024 at dynaCERT. The hydrogen company has three hot irons in the fire and landed numerous orders in 2023. Sales should now pick up, and the share should break out of its sideways trend.

100% share price increase in a few days! Plug Power, BYD and Defense Metals shares
Within just a few days, the Defense Metals share price more than doubled shortly before Christmas. Even if the price level of the developer of a rare earths project in Canada could not be fully maintained, the share is entering 2024 with new momentum. Important data is due soon. If these are also positive, the current valuation of around CAD 50 million could be a real bargain. Plug Power is not a bargain despite the massive drop in the share price. The hydrogen specialist needs to grow and accelerate its path to break even. The e-commerce giant Amazon should help with this. BYD can only dream of doing big business in the US so far. The market is closed to Chinese e-car manufacturers. Is it justified?

Morphosys with 50% risk? BioNTech and Defence Therapeutics share with positive news
Will the Morphosys share price halve? Analysts believe this is possible, although the German biotech veteran has been one of the winners in the sector this year. Overall, biotech shares were not among the favorites of investors in 2023. Nevertheless, the billion-dollar takeover of Karuna Therapeutics by Bristol-Myers Squibb announced yesterday gives the sector hope for a better performance in 2024. Today, we are focusing on three companies of different sizes, including Morphosys and Defence Therapeutics. The biotech company with a focus on immuno-oncology is closing the year with further positive news. The FDA has given the green light for the start of trials next year, which could open up a market worth billions. BioNTech has several pieces of positive news. Here, too, the FDA has made a positive statement, and the Company has achieved a milestone victory against CureVac.

Christmas Surprises: Nel, CureVac, SMA Solar, Altech Advanced Materials
Far from a peaceful Christmas season, these stocks had some exciting news just before Christmas Eve: While SMA Solar had to fend off a short attack, CureVac lost the first round in the patent dispute with BioNTech over the COVID-19 vaccine. CureVac claims a share of the billions in profits for itself. Will CureVac now walk away empty-handed? In contrast, Altech Advanced Materials can pop the corks before New Year's Eve. The Company has reached another milestone on the road to revolutionizing battery technology. The feasibility study promises millions in profits. Nel can look forward to special earnings as a fine is significantly lower than expected.

New share price horror at Bayer, price explosion at CropEnergies and GoviEx Uranium
CropEnergies shareholders were treated to a real treat yesterday, December 20. The share price rose by almost 70% to EUR 11.50. The parent company, Südzucker, wants to completely take over the biofuel producer. What do analysts say about the deal? Experts remain negative on Bayer. The Leverkusen-based company is one of the weakest DAX shares in 2023 and, according to analysts, could fall further to EUR 25. Are additional fines looming in the US? In contrast, the price of uranium is robust. The Climate Conference in Dubai once again confirmed that many countries worldwide are relying heavily on nuclear energy. The GoviEx Uranium share should benefit from this trend in the coming year. The capital requirement has been covered, and the share has a 30% upside potential in the initial phase.

Shares for 2024: TUI in travel boom, Pfizer with monster dividend, Almonty Industries receives millions from Germany
Three shares from three different sectors and countries: TUI, Pfizer, and Almonty Industries. Are they among the top performers in 2024? At least there are good reasons for a turnaround in all of them. At TUI, the turnaround seems to have already begun. Will it continue? Almonty Industries is facing a decisive year. With the help of Germany's KfW, a massive tungsten mine in South Korea is set to go into operation in 2024. If this succeeds, turnover and profits will likely multiply in the coming years. Like so many Corona winners, Pfizer shares have suffered withdrawal symptoms this year. Will the pharmaceutical giant get back on track in 2024 after hitting a ten-year low? In any case, the dividend yield of 6% is attractive.

Star investor Buffett bets on oil: BYD, Plug Power, Shell, Prospera Energy
While the world was watching the Dubai Climate Conference, Warren Buffett invested in oil. The star investor increased his stake in Occidental Petroleum to 27% via Berkshire Hathaway. There is also the possibility of increasing the stake in the US oil company to 33%. The move came after Occidental shares had lost 20% in just a few weeks. This anti-cyclical move is typical of Buffett and shows that oil stocks like Shell are exciting. A similar turnaround story to Occidental is Prospera Energy. Things are expected to get interesting for the Canadian oil producer next year. This is likely also the case for BYD and Plug Power. Chinese companies want to attack the Japanese market, among other things. Like so many hydrogen companies, Plug Power has to address the question of the profitability of its business model.

Climate Conference and Nel disappoint. BASF and Saturn Oil + Gas shares recommended as Buy
The World Climate Conference has disappointed - at least for anyone who had hoped for a clear stance on the end of fossil fuels. Negotiations on the final declaration took place throughout the night in Dubai. The result is sobering. The farewell to fossil fuels is only vaguely described. It has become clear in recent weeks that fossil fuels are here to stay for the foreseeable future and that their lobby is strong. Instead of new impetus, shareholders of Nel ASA received further bad news. The hydrogen pioneer had to announce the cancellation of a major order. And that is not all. BASF, on the other hand, has a tailwind. The share has been upgraded from "Sell" to "Buy". Analysts see more than 200% upside potential for Saturn Oil & Gas. The high cash flow enables the oil producer to expand production and reduce debt.

Several 100% upside potential? BioNTech, Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics and Evotec in analyst check
We take a look at analysts' opinions on biotech and pharmaceutical stocks. Jefferies recently renewed its "Buy" recommendation for Evotec with a target price of EUR 34. The latest partnerships confirm that the Company's unique business model is working. The situation at Bayer is quite different. While the CEO is announcing radical changes, analysts are slashing their price targets, in some cases significantly. In contrast, analysts believe that Cardiol Therapeutics could achieve several 100% gains. The cash register is full to bursting, and an exciting news flow can be expected in 2024. At BioNTech, only the cash position is currently convincing. However, this is not enough for a buy recommendation.
