Focus on individual stocks: Why Saturn Oil + Gas, Siemens Energy, and JinkoSolar are scoring points in the energy poker game
Global demand for oil and gas is rising steadily, especially in high-growth economies. Saturn Oil & Gas is a Canadian company that is positioning itself as a promising investment in the energy sector. The Company is currently successfully producing light oil in Saskatchewan and has also completed horizontal drilling in Alberta. It also pursues a conservative accounting policy. Siemens Energy is in the focus of investors after a more than 50% drop in shares between June and November 2023. The damaged wind turbines from the Siemens Gamesa deal require a clear strategy from CEO Christian Bruch. Analysts are divided. While Morgan Stanley is optimistic about the development, Barclays lowers the price target. In an uncertain market environment for renewable energies, a differentiated view of individual values is crucial for investors. China is positioning itself not only as one of the leading industrialized oil and gas countries but also as a pioneer in the renewable energy sector. JinkoSolar, a Chinese company, is benefiting from its financial stability and the rising global demand for solar energy. Find out here which stock scores best.

Manuka Resources, Plug Power, Amazon: Precious Metals, Energy, E-Commerce - Which global future trends investors are betting on now
Renewable energy and digital transformation bring companies like Manuka Resources, Plug Power, and Amazon Web Services into focus. While Manuka Resources serves the rising demand for precious metals in the energy transition through mining activities for gold and silver, Plug Power, a pioneer in hydrogen technologies, faces challenges and seeks ways to overcome them. This time, the US government appears to be more of an opponent than an ally for Plug. In North America, Amazon Web Services, as a leader in cloud technology, is advancing Canadian infrastructure with an investment of over USD 17.9 billion. Meanwhile, the AI startup Anthropic, supported by giants like Google and Amazon, is betting on the future of artificial intelligence with ambitious revenue goals by 2024, from which AWS could also benefit.

From record production to billion-dollar deals: Prospera Energy, Occidental Petroleum and Tesla in the spotlight
The world is undergoing an energy transition, and pioneering projects in Saudi Arabia demonstrate the significant role of renewable energy. Energy companies like Prospera Energy are experiencing record production with over 1,500 BOE/D. Value appreciation and a focus on reserves make Prospera Energy an attractive investment candidate, especially given the rising global demand for oil and gas. Warren Buffett is backing precisely these types of companies, such as Occidental Petroleum (OXY). The planned acquisition of CrownRock for USD 12 billion promises a significant increase in sales for the oil and gas company. Berkshire Hathaway is, therefore, increasing its stake in OXY by 5.2 million shares. While Tesla faces challenges with its electric vehicle (EV) doors, BYD is outperforming in the global BEV market. The Chinese car manufacturer has already overtaken Tesla in terms of market share, recording a 68% increase compared to the previous year. The future of electric mobility could lie in Chinese quality and reliability and, above all, in oil and gas companies. Where is the next profit leap?

Renewable Energy in Focus: First Hydrogen, Siemens Energy and Volkswagen present groundbreaking technologies - Which share leads the way?
Renewable energy is increasingly taking center stage for investors. Companies like First Hydrogen are setting new standards by developing advanced hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles. However, the figures have to be right. While Siemens Energy struggles with the challenges in the energy sector, a large proportion of the Company's shares are being shifted to the pension fund, which could have severe consequences for investors and employees. On the other hand, Volkswagen is responding to the German government's austerity measures. It is taking over the previous state's share of the environmental bonus for electric vehicles as a goodwill gesture. However, this seems to be merely a gesture in light of the Company's restructuring program that is launching in Germany. These developments shed light on technological advancements and business adaptations in the era of green transformation.

Telecommunications and Energy with Almonty Industries, Vodafone and RWE - where is it worth starting?
At the Dubai Climate Conference COP28, 22 countries agreed to the expansion of nuclear power. A low-CO2 and highly efficient form of energy generation, albeit with some associated risks. However, the construction of nuclear power plants requires a very special metal: tungsten. This is reason enough for investors to take a closer look at the Almonty Industries share. Almonty Industries is a company that focuses on tungsten extraction and production and operates exclusively in democratically governed countries. Tungsten is used in the telecommunications industry, among others. For Vodafone, a European and African company in this segment, the raw material tungsten is essential for further growth. The Group has been in crisis to date. How far have they progressed in the turnaround? For those who focus more on energy providers than suppliers like Almonty, RWE is a must. RWE generates and trades electricity in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the United States. Find out here where new projects and further cash flows are opening up.

dynaCERT, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz - Renewable energies in focus, feasibility and speed are key
This year's international climate conference, "COP28", is coming to an end with a strong statement. For the first time, the participating nations have committed themselves in writing to developing their energy resources away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energies. Host country Dubai, under the patronage of Sultan Al Jaber, achieved consensus among all participating countries. According to the agreement, countries are called upon to contribute to a global transition rather than being directly forced to implement this change independently. A company like dynaCERT, which has been campaigning for years for a CO₂-reducing hybrid solution to power diesel trucks in the logistics sector, could be on the verge of a breakthrough. The Company has already raised CAD 2.0 million in gross proceeds from an ongoing private placement, which it will now use to expand its technology. Meanwhile, Volkswagen plans to hire around 3,000 engineers in China to keep pace in the EV market. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, is expanding its offering in Dubai with an unusual move to maximize profits...
