Biotech stocks: Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech, BASF - Advantage through platform technology
Large corporations such as BASF were previously considered safe portfolio investments. But the war in Ukraine is throwing a spanner in the works. Force majeure, such as war, can cause deals to fall through without the responsibility of the companies involved. How should investors react now? Which portfolio strategy can keep up with the high volatility of the markets? Newcomers like BioNTech face oversupply and have to accept shortages. A focus on emerging markets seems to be the solution for their growth strategy. But there are subtle differences in the vaccines business, as Defence Therapeutics proves.

Bayer, NervGen, Adler Group - Pharma and Real Estate, management in focus
Corporate giant Bayer is collaborating with Charité Berlin to cure genetic diseases in the future. A paradox? Big Pharma thrives on alleviating symptoms but not curing diseases. Things will soon look different. The biotech company NervGen is also dedicated to curing diseases. The approach here: reverse degenerative nerve conditions through self-healing. Specifically, this means helping individuals with paraplegia who are wheelchair-bound reconnect their neural pathways. The Company is in the clinical trials phase and was started by a co-founder who witnessed a dramatic accident. One cannot speak of an accident at the real estate company Adler Group. Four board members have resigned after auditor KPMG refused to give its OK for the annual financial statements. Can management regain the confidence of shareholders?

Adler Group, Amazon, Almonty - Free fall and strong growth
Investing in real estate is becoming increasingly volatile, whether as a landlord due to higher energy prices or as an investor in the Adler Group. In the latter case, auditor KPMG did not put an audit certificate on the 2021 annual financial statements because it remains unclear how the loss of around EUR 1 billion came about. The share slid into the basement, and four board members resigned. A look across the pond at Amazon, and Amazon Web Services, in particular, shows what can help a balanced portfolio mix. Boeing, the Seattle-based company, has gained a significant customer in the aviation industry. In this industry, the rare earth metal tungsten is in great demand. Thanks to its high density, it protects against radiation and is used for this purpose in the sheathing of aircraft. We take a look at what investors should watch out for now.

Mercedes-Benz, Edison Lithium, K+S - Strong gains from the start
Mercedes-Benz AG scores with a good return on cars and vans in the first quarter of this year. Luxury and electric, in particular, are selling like hotcakes. Despite the pandemic, delivery problems and the lapsed Russian business, shareholders are benefiting from the current share price. To meet the demand for electromobility, areas with mineral resources such as lithium and cobalt are becoming increasingly valuable. These metals are used in batteries to power electric vehicles. The fertilizer company K+S is also providing drive in the agricultural sector. With its products, farmers generate almost twice as much crop yield. However, this disturbs a delicate balance, prompting the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education to take action.

Bayer AG, Perimeter Medical, Twitter - Shareholder interests drive share price performance
The life science and medical technology sectors offer investment opportunities. Whether with old hands like Bayer AG or up-and-coming innovative startups like Perimeter Medical, each company has its own fascination. Strong corporate management that acts in the interests of shareholders provides additional confidence. The latter, in particular, is currently being put to the test at the short messaging service Twitter. Elon Musk's takeover bid threatens to dilute existing investors' shares with a poison pill.

mm2 Asia, Nvidia, Bayer AG - Digital marketplaces with high scalability
Shanghai is currently experiencing the totalitarian proportions of a zero-COVID strategy. Due to soaring cases, 26 million people have to go into a harsh lockdown. After more than two years of the pandemic, the images from the Chinese metropolis seem all the more disturbing. Helplessness is spreading. People are tired of the inhumane measures. Those who test positive have to spend their quarantine in specially equipped hospitals, separated from their families and other foreign positives. The dystopian experiences of the Corona Pandemic, which everyone has personally experienced in recent months, provide an unexpectedly timely stage for arguably the most spectacular re-mastering and launch on April 21 of an Asian indie film classic in the psychological thriller genre.

Phoenix Copper, Nordex, Tesla - Gold rush mood at the beginning of the supply chain
If the EU turns off the gas tap from Russia, alternatives are needed quickly to keep Germany running as a business location. With its wind turbines, Nordex SE is facing cybersecurity challenges, and Tesla shareholders are looking anxiously at the antics of their CEO, who is putting on yet another corporate hat. Producers are reeling from supply chain disruptions and other unreliabilities these days. So it is good to know there are reliable companies at the top of the supply chain: Phoenix Copper, with its raw material deposits of copper, gold and zinc, is not only an explorer on the hunt for the best mineral resources but also a collector.

Kodiak Copper, Plug Power, BYD - Copper, copper and more copper
Carmaker BYD is finally showing itself without a mask: the brand-new Ocean X model is giving rival Tesla a run for its money. The Chinese electric carmaker is thus tapping into the design-savvy target group in the upper-middle class, which is climate-neutral and cost-conscious and relies on timeless elegance. Powered by electric motors with 203 hp, anyone will then be able to overtake the plug-powered MAN trucks in the left lane from 2023. But only if explorers like Kodiak Copper continue to successfully discover copper areas to meet market demand for the popular metal. 'Teamwork makes the dream work' is especially true for the Canadian Company's top executives.

Valneva, Triumph Gold, BioNTech - Gold rush mood in the pipeline
While the Corona measures are eased in Spain, and the government lets symptom-free positive tested persons out of quarantine, Germany tightens again and extends the measures. This could create a gold-rush mood among BioNTech investors, as figures from the Mainz-based biotech Company will be announced on Wednesday. Valneva is also looking ahead with confidence to the first shipment of its liquid gold in the form of the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine. For investors with a more earthy disposition, it is a good idea to look at the real precious metals and gold deposits these days. For example, an investment in Canada's Triumph Gold Corporation offers copper and diamond deposits in addition to gold. The Company specializes in the discovery and development of gold and other valuable commodity deposits.

Power Nickel, BYD, Alibaba - Prices continue to rise
The electric mobility market is picking up steam, with the world's third-largest EV maker BYD entering into a joint venture with Nvidia to push autonomous driving cars. In California, the Company is recording the deployment of zero-emission buses - all battery-powered. The energy transition is dramatically increasing the demand for nickel. Power Nickel is exploring for nickel outside China in particular. The highlight: the nickel there is ideally suited for electric car batteries. And then every Alibaba (BABA) investor can consider themselves lucky: the Company sees its share price jump.
