Plug Power with Warning Signals! Should you buy SMA Solar and Altech Advanced Materials shares?
Anyone who had hoped that Plug Power's quarterly figures would herald a recovery in the share price was disappointed. On the contrary, the figures should set alarm bells ringing for shareholders of the hydrogen specialist because the investor favorite is running out of money! Is there still hope? In contrast, SMA Solar and Altech Advanced Materials are performing well. Although the share prices of the solar and battery companies have also fallen, there is positive operational news. Altech has published a strong update on its solid-state battery production plant. SMA is significantly increasing profits, but analysts are not satisfied.

BMW celebrates battery technology, BYD is coming to Europe, and Power Nickel offers a 100% opportunity!
News from the world of electromobility: BYD is putting pressure on European car manufacturers and wants to start production in Europe soon. But where? Saarlouis seems to be losing the competition for the first Chinese location in Europe. There are new indications of this. BMW, on the other hand, is celebrating its new battery technology, aiming to achieve more range than Tesla while significantly reducing costs. But what do analysts have to say about the Munich-based automotive group's shares? Experts see over 100% upside potential for Power Nickel shares. The Company is developing a high-grade nickel project in Canada and plans to produce it in a climate-friendly way. Will the new resource estimate boost the share price?

Should you buy shares now? Plug Power, JinkoSolar, Almonty Industries
Renewable energy shares have faced a difficult few weeks. However, exciting buying opportunities always arise in such market phases. For instance, Plug Power's quarterly figures are due tomorrow. Can this trigger a breakout from the downtrend? Buying Almonty shares could soon pay off. Analysts expect the tungsten producer to massively increase its sales and profits from 2024. JinkoSolar's quarterly figures were convincing. But the bad news from SolarEdge and Co. is depressing sentiment in the industry.

14 million e-cars in 2023 alone: BYD, Standard Lithium and Defense Metals profit
In the current year, one in every five vehicles sold is expected to have an electric drive, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This would amount to 14 million vehicles and correspond to a growth of around 35% compared to the more than 10 million sold in 2022. Opportunities for investors lie dormant along the entire value chain of electromobility. BYD aims to capture a significant portion of these sales figures and replace Tesla as the number one player in the electric vehicle sector. While Warren Buffett is selling again, analysts are advising to buy. Standard Lithium and Defense Metals are benefiting from the rising demand for batteries. Both companies have exciting projects with compelling economic calculations and alleviate concerns about China potentially using lithium and other resources as a "weapon." So, is it time to buy?

More than 300% share price opportunity: BioNTech, Morphosys and Cardiol Therapeutics
Study results, along with acquisitions by Big Pharma, are the drivers of biotech company share prices. However, in the current challenging stock market environment, even positive data can be overlooked. But this opens up opportunities for investors with a little more staying power. Sooner or later, the information is recognized, and stock prices rise, or a pharmaceutical giant makes a move. At BioNTech, for example, the price reaction to the long-awaited news from the cancer pipeline has failed to materialize. Analysts are also cautious. Cardiol Therapeutics is a different story. The Canadians have taken on the fight against heart disease and are making significant progress in their research. The share had more than doubled to EUR 1.08 by the summer. Several analysts see the current setback as a buying opportunity. Experts are also giving the thumbs up to German biotech pioneer Morphosys.

Analysts love cash flow stocks: Nel, Volkswagen, Saturn Oil + Gas
What do investors and analysts dislike in times of high interest rates? Losses and debt. By contrast, they love high cash flow. Free cash flow. With it, a company can finance itself, pay off debt or distribute money to shareholders. And this is precisely Nel's problem. While the loss has been reduced, the Norwegians are still a long way from generating positive cash flow. But analysts still see potential. Analysts see more than 100% upside potential for Saturn Oil & Gas. The oil producer is developing into a cash flow monster, and the upcoming quarterly figures should be convincing again. Volkswagen is also winning over experts. Can the VW share really double? However, there is also a sell recommendation.

New stock favorites? BYD, JinkoSolar, dynaCERT
Hydrogen, electromobility and solar energy are without doubt among the absolute industries of the future. The growth prospects for the coming years are excellent. However, companies from all these sectors are currently struggling on the stock market. Today, we take a look at new and old favorites. BYD's preliminary quarterly figures were compelling, and analysts are giving their approval. JinkoSolar is evolving into the number one in the solar sector, and the Chinese can be pleased about new orders. There is also positive news at dynaCERT. The hydrogen and emission reduction specialist could even be on the verge of a game-changer.

Hydrogen bull market ahead? Are Nel, Nikola and First Hydrogen shares ready for entry?
This year's sell-off in shares related to the energy and mobility transition sectors is tempting investors to enter. This is because the market trend remains positive. For example, the promotion of hydrogen in the US and Europe has taken concrete shape. The EU, Norway and the UK alone want to multiply electrolysis capacities from the current 143 MW to 138 GW by 2030. So, it should only be a matter of time before the next hydrogen boom. Robert Campbell is also confident, stating: "We are entering a renewables supercycle." This comes from the CEO of First Hydrogen at the International Investment Forum. The Canadian company is developing hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles and is approaching a significant event. At Nel, the focus is on the upcoming quarterly figures, among other things. Can the Norwegians perhaps surprise? Nikola has reported a milestone, but the stock has given up almost all of its gains from the summer.

Turnaround for Plug Power stock? Barrick Gold and Manuka Resources are also on the rise
Is this the turnaround for Plug Power? After all, the stock has gained about 20% in the past few days. Looking at the longer-term price chart of the hydrogen pioneer, this is only a small success, but at least it is a start. Barrick Gold's stock has also seen an upswing in recent days, and the outlook for the fourth quarter could give the gold company a further boost. The CEO of Australian resource company Manuka Resources has expressed optimism that the stock will soon reach higher prices. "For a company that is already producing gold and has two projects fully funded, we are extremely cheap at a valuation of AUD 25 million. So we should have seen the bottom," commented Dennis Karp at the recent IIF virtual investor conference. Where does this optimism come from?

Stocks for bargain hunters: BYD, JinkoSolar and Desert Gold
What do renewable energies and gold have in common? Despite attractive future prospects, shares from both sectors have taken a beating in recent months. Often for no apparent reason. This opens up opportunities for bargain hunters with a bit of patience. For example, with shares like JinkoSolar and Desert Gold. Both companies are historically cheap. JinkoSolar has just reported a new sales record and wants to grow further. Desert Gold lures with an almost ridiculously low valuation of its gold resources and continues to drill. A rebound or takeover beckons for patient investors. And BYD? The Chinese are on track to displace Tesla as the world's No. 1 e-car manufacturer. Nevertheless, the stock is stuck, and in Europe, the EU is investigating illegal subsidies.
