Biotech stocks on the verge of a breakout? Evotec, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics
Biotech stocks have largely missed out on the rally of recent weeks. But this could change. Some have interesting chart constellations or a positive news flow. Sooner or later, the stock should then also react with a breakout. After the horror year 2022, Evotec received several positive reports within a few days. The share price has also jumped. At BioNTech, investors are looking away from the COVID-19 vaccine and towards the development pipeline. But, analysts disagree. Are 100% share price gains on the cards? Analysts believe that Cardiol Therapeutics' stock has even more potential than that. Its main product against heart inflammation is already in the Phase II pilot study, and the necessary capital for further development is available. All three shares are recommended as a buy by analysts.

BYD, American Lithium, Altech Advanced Materials: Shares in rally mode
The rally at the beginning of the year on the stock markets has surprised many investors. Among the winners are the shares of BYD, American Lithium, and Altech Advanced Materials AG. All three are already showing significant double-digit price increases after the first few weeks. And the chances are good that the positive developments will continue. That is because they are benefiting from the boom in electric mobility. In the current year, BYD is relying heavily on foreign expansion outside its home market of China. The first vehicles have now been delivered in India. In the future, the Chinese carmaker's batteries could contain lithium from American Lithium. In any case, the Canadian company has published a promising resource estimate, and the IPO of the uranium division may become the next share price driver. Altech Advanced Materials is working on a new generation of batteries with the Fraunhofer Institute. More and more investors are discovering the Altech share. The market capitalization is not high.

More than 100% possible: Analysts on Nel ASA, Saturn Oil + Gas and the Tesla chaser BYD
Hydrogen specialist Nel ASA is entering the new year with a tailwind. The Norwegian company's stock has already gained more than 20% this year. Operationally, the Company aims to make significant progress in 2023 after a challenging previous year. A new order was reported to match this. And then analysts are also raising the price target. Analysts see over 100% price potential in the oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas. The experts assess the recent acquisition of the Canadians as positive and see a significant undervaluation compared to the peer group. In addition, analysts at Commerzbank see a rising oil price. For e-cars, Tesla has triggered price reductions. BYD is also affected by this. Things are also likely to get more uncomfortable in the primary market of China in 2023. Nevertheless, BYD should continue to grow in the current year.

Hydrogen shares: New favourites First Hydrogen and PNE instead of Plug Power and ITM Power?
Hydrogen stocks have electrified investors' imaginations for years. But 2022 pure plays like Plug Power, Nel and ITM Power have disappointed. Not just in terms of share price performance but operationally as well. In contrast, newcomer First Hydrogen was one of the high flyers. The share price shot up by more than 100%, and the hydrogen commercial vehicles passed the tests. The Canadians want to continue to step on the gas in the current year. The share should benefit from this again; at CAD 200 million, it does not appear expensive. Now the German PNE is also entering the billion-dollar market. Following the end of takeover speculation, new impetus from green hydrogen is welcome. ITM Power sends a sign of life with an order from Linde.

Energy transition price rockets: American Lithium, Plug Power, Auxico Resources
Are shares related to electromobility among the price rockets of 2023? In any case, the start of the year was promising. After a partially disastrous second half of 2022, many stocks are showing strength in the new year. Lithium shares, in particular, are in demand again. Among the high flyers of recent months is American Lithium. After the Nasdaq listing and the planned spin-off of the uranium division, investors are eagerly awaiting the feasibility study. Will the share price fireworks continue? Analysts also expect such fireworks at Auxico Resources. They believe that the share price of the trader of rare earths and critical raw materials could almost triple. Hydrogen pioneer Plug Power has also bounced back in the new year. But once again, the US company has disappointed operationally. How do investors react?

Big surprise for Tesla hunter BYD and JinkoSolar: when will dynaCERT share takeoff?
Now, this would be a real surprise: Will Tesla hunter BYD soon not only sell its e-cars in Germany but also produce them? According to media reports, the Chinese carmaker is talking to Ford about buying the plant in Saarlouis. Another Chinese group is also continuing to go full throttle: JinkoSolar. The solar group reports strong figures, the start of construction of a reference project and analysts increase the price target for the share. Investors are also waiting for a big bang from dynaCERT. The cleantech company wants to enter into trading with emission certificates. In addition, sales figures are increasing in the core business.

Bayer shares soon to reach triple digits? Barrick Gold and Desert Gold praised by analysts
Will Bayer be broken up, or will triple-digit share prices beckon? According to media reports, more and more investors are calling for the former. Most recently, Bluebell Capital Partners. According to the Bloomberg news agency, the British investor is calling on the DAX-listed Company to separate its Crop Science and Pharmaceuticals divisions. This could lead to a 70% increase in value for shareholders. Analysts also see considerable share price potential and believe that triple-digit prices are possible. Gold is also shining again. However, this has yet to be realized by exploration companies in particular. Experts see the chance of a revaluation at Desert Gold, for example - through takeover fantasy and drilling results. Besides B2Gold, Barrick Gold also comes into question as a buyer. The industry leader is also recommended as a buy, despite weakening Q4 results.

Nel after the ITM Power shock: Better to bet on BioNTech and Alpina Holdings?
The year 2022 was not the year of growth stocks. Will this change in 2023? The positive start to the current year shows that the chances of this happening are quite good; however, not in the hydrogen sector. The renewed warning from ITM Power is weighing on the entire sector and stoking fears that Nel, Plug Power & Co. will not be able to work off their full order books in 2023 either. That is where a look at other sectors and stocks can pay off. Example: Alpina Holdings from Singapore. The Company is growing at double-digit rates, and its valuation is incredibly low. BioNTech wants to expand further. Goldman Sachs expects strong newsflow from the cancer pipeline in 2023.

Commodity stocks poised for a comeback? Barrick Gold, American Lithium, Globex Mining, Standard Lithium
Inflation is weakening, and the interest rate cycle is nearing its end. This argues for a comeback of gold mining stocks. In any case, the gold price is already pointing in the right direction. Now heavyweights like Barrick Gold must follow. Explorer shares offer disproportionate opportunities. However, Globex Mining is an interesting alternative for those who shy away from individual risks. With more than 200 investments in the commodity sector, the Canadians are positioned similarly to a fund. Currently, the cash balance alone corresponds to half of the market capitalization. In addition, there is positive news from the projects. The lithium sector is also starting to recover. Companies like Standard Lithium and American Lithium are recovering from the sell-off at the end of the year. In addition, takeover fantasy attracts.

Shares ready for takeoff: Nel, Plug Power, BASF, Almonty Industries
The New Year rally is on! The Nel share has gained around 20% since New Year's Eve. There was a tailwind from Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, including a major order from Germany. Analysts see further upside potential. This also applies to BASF. A US analyst sees an opportunity for a good 30% price gain for the chemical giant. BASF should benefit from the current sharp decline in gas prices. The agricultural boom is also playing into the DAX company's hands. Almonty Industries wants to benefit even more from the boom in electric mobility in the future. To this end, the Group intends to become one of the leading tungsten producers. The mega-mine in South Korea is scheduled to go into operation in the current year, 2023. Financing by the German KfW has been secured, and analysts see a share price potential of over 100%.
