Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - who can benefit from China's rise
Chinese companies such as BYD benefit from state subsidies and domestic access to raw materials. BYD's subsidies have risen from EUR 220 million in just three years to EUR 2.1 billion. These sums are helping BYD dominate the Chinese electric vehicle market and increasingly penetrate the European market. Volkswagen cannot escape the pull of China either. As part of its "In China, for China" strategy, Volkswagen is expanding its cooperation network with Chinese partners. The aim is to reduce costs significantly in the development of EV technology. For companies like Altech Advanced Materials, close cooperation with Chinese market leaders such as BYD and Volkswagen offers the opportunity to commercialize innovative battery technologies that meet the needs of the changing market. One of these innovations, made in Germany by Altech Advanced Materials, increases the longevity of EV batteries by 30%. Here are the details.

Innovation made in Europe: Singulus Technologies, Siemens Energy, BASF - which share offers the greatest potential?
Companies in Europe, like Singulus Technologies, are leaders in the production of surface materials in future-oriented sectors such as photovoltaics, semiconductors, medical technology and cosmetics. This is reason enough to take a closer look at Europe as a location. The European Commission is determined to push ahead with CO₂ reduction with all its might and subsidize future energies. They would prefer to lock out Chinese companies that produce solar and wind turbines more cost-effectively than Siemens Energy. However, China is also an excellent place to do business. Chemical giant BASF strategically adheres to long-term contracts, in line with the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu. Which share offers the greatest potential for investors?

Desert Gold Ventures, Barrick, Intel - Stagflation in the US as a gold price turbo?
Gold has reached another record level of over USD 2,300 per ounce. Investors are betting that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later this year. Gold has been on an upward trend since mid-February. On the one hand, it has a reputation for maintaining or increasing its value during periods of inflation. On the other hand, it is seen as a store of value should FIAT money be significantly devalued - after all, gold has been considered a currency for millennia. For Desert Gold Ventures, the timing is right to complete its exploration drilling program in Africa. Demand for the precious metal is unabated. These are good times for gold explorers and producers. Barrick CEO Mark Bristow suspects stagflation in the US, which will further drive up the price of gold. Declining economy and rising inflation? It is not a suitable environment for US companies. One company seemingly lagging behind is Intel. The Company issued a profit warning this week. We take a look at what this means for investors.

Ballard Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, and Siemens Energy - Three energy companies on course for growth. Who offers the greatest potential return?
Fuel cells, oil and gas, grid technologies and onshore wind power - there are many opportunities for investors to invest in energy companies. But which segment offers significant return potential? Berkshire Hathaway is focusing on oil and gas companies such as Occidental Petroleum. A Canadian company in the same segment is Saturn Oil & Gas. The Company made it into the top 20 fastest-growing companies in Canada last year and pursues a transparent growth strategy focusing on value creation for its shareholders. Ballard Power Systems creates fuel cells, relies heavily on government support and has raised USD 94 million for the construction of its new fuel cell plant in Texas. Siemens Energy, in turn, released its financial figures for the first quarter of this year. Until now, the spectre of Siemens Gamesa has been haunting the ranks, but the latest results are surprising...

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Bayer AG - Arming up for defense with these stocks
The European Union is providing the defense group Rheinmetall with a total of EUR 130 million for ammunition production. The German company is one of six EU projects that are being funded in a special program to stockpile enough artillery pieces and secure supply chains. Here, Almonty Industries comes into play. Almonty specializes in the exploration, extraction and production of tungsten in two European countries, including Spain and Portugal. Tungsten is used in particular for ammunition. Almonty Industries also operates five mining projects, one of which is the largest tungsten project in South Korea. The increasing demand for the critical metal will soon cause the price of tungsten to skyrocket, as defense is becoming increasingly important for the countries and continents involved in the face of geopolitical tensions worldwide. Defense is also a topic at Bayer. The cancer drug Nubeqa supports the body's immune system in the fight against prostate cancer. Following the recent pipeline flop with Asundexian, the drug has great blockbuster potential and could bring billions of euros into the Company's coffers. Read more about why this is so important for Bayer at the moment.

Energy sector on the upswing: Siemens Energy, Manuka Resources and Nordex Group focus on a sustainable future
International collaborations are lucrative ventures for energy companies such as Siemens Energy. As a strong partner for Iraq, the Group supports the country in the secondary utilization of by-product gases for power generation that would otherwise be lost. Vanadium, a critical raw material for sustainable construction and electromobility, is needed. China and Russia possess the most deposits but are politically insecure. This is reason enough for the company Manuka Resources to explore a rich vanadium area off the coast of New Zealand. Thanks to an accelerated procedure for granting mining permits by the New Zealand government, operations could commence soon. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex is also in the starting blocks: with an order from South Africa, the Hamburg-based company will deliver 57 turbines to the coastal region. Here are the details.

BYD, Globex Mining, Mercedes-Benz shares: The energy transition is picking up speed with these companies
BYD in China is regarded as innovative and successful with its wide range of models and brands. The Company has become one of the top ten car manufacturers and is the global leader in the production of new energy vehicles (NEVs). In the fourth quarter of last year, BYD even overtook Tesla with over half a million electric vehicles sold. BYD is now pushing further into international markets in order to maintain its growth trajectory. The increasing demand for electrification also means a higher demand for the corresponding raw materials. Globex Mining is well positioned in this regard; with 247 different projects and over 40 years of industry experience, investors benefit from the unbeatable expertise of the experienced management team. Mercedes-Benz leadership has reason to rejoice. The figures from the last financial year are solid, and the salaries of the Executive Board have been generously increased. Who is really picking up speed now?

Energy in transition: RWE, Kraken Energy, and Plug Power in focus
The energy sector remains in flux. RWE was able to double its adjusted EBITDA. CEO Markus Krebber, who has been in office since 2021, is doing everything he can to make the energy giant fit for renewable energies. Under the term "Phaseout Technologies," he aims to bid farewell to nuclear energy and fossil fuels. However, nuclear energy is a low-carbon and adequate supply for many industrialized nations. There are 93 reactors in the USA alone, which account for 20% of the national energy supply. This is reason enough for Kraken Energy to explore uranium deposits in the US in order to establish the shortest possible supply chains. The US is also a pioneer in hydrogen technologies. Plug Power can, therefore, look forward to a considerable amount of government funding and is becoming a job engine...
