Prospera Energy, BP, Plug Power: Fossil or renewable energies - Who leads in the commodity market?
The US is currently holding back on the export of liquefied natural gas shipments, posing a challenging situation for economies like Germany that rely on energy imports. Investors are increasingly turning their attention to companies that are helping to drive forward the energy transition. To reach that goal, oil and gas companies like Prospera Energy, with their ambitious oil extraction plans, are gaining the attention of many investors. For those preferring dividend investments, BP is an unavoidable choice. The global company also mixes its energy production with renewable energy. Plug Power is a pioneer in this field, having recently commissioned another hydrogen plant in Tennessee, USA. However, the excitement about the innovation is dampened by an analyst rating.

BYD, Edison Lithium, Siemens Energy - Which energy transition stocks are worth considering now
The global energy transition is being shaped by key players in electromobility and renewable energies. The Chinese car manufacturer BYD continues its expansion in Europe with a new production facility for passenger cars in Hungary. BYD also focuses on sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for budget and mid-range models. The junior explorer, Edison Lithium, plays a decisive role here in the procurement of raw materials for battery production. Edison Lithium can meet the demand for raw materials for sodium-ion batteries with flying colours and is using this strategic move to its advantage. Edison Lithium's sites are all located in Argentina, which is back on the geopolitical trading floor thanks to its new president, Javier Milei. Siemens Energy, on the other hand, posted solid quarterly results despite ongoing challenges at offshore wind turbine problem child Siemens Gamesa. The Company is increasingly breaking away from its former parent company, Siemens, and will appoint two high-calibre individuals to the Supervisory Board to drive the transformation further.
