Beneath the Surface: Why the Market Is Overlooking the True Value of Nike, Desert Gold and Vonovia

• Mining
• Gold
• Africa
• Commodities
• Sportswear
• RealEstate

With an iceberg, only the tip protrudes from the water; the vast majority remains hidden. The situation is similar right now with Nike, Desert Gold Ventures and Vonovia - their true value lies beneath the surface. Analysts estimate their fair value to be two to seven times their current stock prices. But how long will it take for the stock market to discover these hidden values? For Nike, the future outfitter of the German national soccer team, the moment of truth arrives today—even as the Nations League match between Germany and Serbia is underway in Munich. For Desert Gold, the upcoming start of production is likely to provide the impetus, while Vonovia must brace itself for a waiting game following the election results in Berlin.

The Heart of the European Battery: How BASF, IBU-tec and HPQ Silicon Are Revolutionizing the Battery

• Silicon
• Batteries
• FumedSilica

The future of the European automotive industry will not be decided on the assembly line, but in the chemistry lab. Until now, battery cells—the heart of modern electric vehicles—have come almost exclusively from Asia. This dependency is dangerous, and politicians have warned about it for years: Europe urgently needs its own self-contained battery value chain. But to achieve this independence, it is not enough to simply build massive factories ("gigafactories") on greenfield sites. The real key lies in the molecular components: the cathode (the positive terminal) and the anode (the negative terminal). Three companies are demonstrating how this European supply chain can become a reality: DAX giant BASF is focusing on high-end chemicals for the premium range, while the mid-sized company IBU-tec, with its new mega-factory in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, is poised to become the European LFP cathode leader for the mass market. At the other end of the battery spectrum, the Canadian-French technology firm HPQ Silicon is using innovative silicon anodes to ensure future energy storage systems will be dramatically more powerful. This technological pincer movement could free the continent from Asia's stranglehold. Read on to find out what this means for investors.

Raw Materials, Defense and Aerospace: Spectacular Price Targets for Almonty, Renk and OHB

• aerospace
• Defense
• hightech
• geopolitics

September is traditionally not the best month for the stock market, which is why the DAX, Dow Jones, and others have struggled recently. During these periods, it is worth looking at second- and third-tier stocks. After all, individual stocks in this segment offer tremendous potential—if analysts are to be believed. Sensational studies were released last week on Almonty Industries, Renk and OHB. At first glance, a mining company, a transmission manufacturer, and a satellite builder have little in common. But on closer inspection, all three raise the question of how independent the West wants to be in the future when it comes to raw materials, defense, and space infrastructure. All three stocks are trading well below their all-time highs and offer upside potential ranging from 60% to over 100%.

WHEN STOCK PRICES AND REALITY COLLIDE: THE WEEK OF TRUTH FOR BYD, VIDAC PHARMA AND FEDEX

• Biotechnology
• Cancer
• Pharma
• Electromobility
• Logistics

This week holds a fascinating lesson for investors. BYD, Vidac Pharma and FedEx, three publicly traded companies that could hardly be more different, are holding their annual shareholder meetings: a Chinese auto giant, a British-Israeli biotech minnow, and an American logistics conglomerate. Current developments reflect three completely different realities. The spectrum ranges from global market battles to controversial issues regarding insider stock sales and executive compensation. Two of the stocks have recently lost about half their value. The third, while down significantly from its all-time high after a record run, is still clearly up for the year. Read on to learn about the opportunities and risks this presents.

A Firework Display of Returns: A Closer Look at the Dividend Standouts RTL Group, Mutares and RE Royalties

• Investments

In volatile markets and amid economic uncertainty, dividends can be a rock in the storm. Yet investors do not necessarily have to rely on sluggish blue-chip stocks. Three companies from the small- and mid-cap segment are delivering a veritable return bonanza. The journey takes us from an established media group and an SDAX-listed turnaround specialist to a Canadian pioneer in renewable energy: At RTL, the acquisition of Sky Deutschland and a now-profitable streaming business are providing fresh momentum. Mutares selectively acquires loss-making divisions from major corporations and transforms them into reliable sources of returns for shareholders. And RE Royalties, with a dividend yield of more than 10%, outshines both—while a discreet sale process is taking place behind the scenes that could provide investors with an additional substantial takeover premium.

Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.

Healthy, sustainable, organic: the trend toward conscious eating shows no signs of slowing down. Yet the sector has recently disappointed on the stock market. Soaring costs for raw materials and logistics are eating into producers' margins, while inflation is forcing consumers to be more cautious at the checkout. But these lean years can also create opportunities. A closer look at the entire value chain, from the field to the supermarket shelf, reveals three very different cases: MustGrow Biologics, Hain Celestial and Sprouts Farmers Market. A comparison of the trio reveals where analysts see the greatest upside potential.

Tungsten, Beer and Vaccines: What Almonty Industries, Heineken and BioNTech Have in Common

• Tungsten
• Beer
• Beverages
• Biotech

A commodities company whose share price has tripled in a single year because an unassuming heavy metal has become a sought-after, scarce commodity. A brewing giant that has been operating a cash cow in Africa for decades and has a clear strategy for increasing margins. A pharmaceutical pioneer writing its next chapter after the end of the COVID boom—with a factory that literally consists of shipping containers. At first glance, Almonty Industries, Heineken and BioNTech do not have much in common. But upon closer inspection, all three are betting on the same underrated market. Here is how you, as an investor, can benefit.

Chronically Undervalued: When Will the Knot Finally Break for Mountain Alliance, Lahontan Gold and Mercedes-Benz?

• Mining
• Gold
• Silver
• Commodities
• Automotive

Some companies are brimming with substance – and yet their share prices barely move. Three current examples illustrate different forms of this phenomenon. Mountain Alliance is an investment company whose portfolio is worth significantly more than its share price suggests; Lahontan Gold is an explorer whose freely accessible precious-metal resources far exceed its market capitalization; and Mercedes-Benz is a classic that investors are currently shying away from due to political and economic concerns. Undervaluation is rarely a coincidence; rather, it has tangible causes. But there are equally tangible arguments for a re-rating.
