Bargain alert in Biotech, AI, Cannabis: Evotec, Cantourage, BlockchainK2 share instead of Nvidia?
The weak late summer months on the stock market often offer opportunities for bargain hunters - including at the moment and away from the large caps. For instance, Nvidia has already lost around 30% from its all-time high, but historically a drop of 50% or more is not uncommon for this AI high-flyer. It is, therefore, worth taking a look at fallen small and mid-caps. For example, Cantourage shares gained more than 10% yesterday alone. Is there more to come for the cannabis stock? BlockchainK2 shares are also ripe for a price surge. The SaaS platform for financial service providers offers cost and efficiency benefits thanks to blockchain and AI. The sentiment for fintechs - look at PayPal - is currently brightening noticeably, and BlockchainK2 is a takeover candidate. The same could be said for Evotec, or is there a risk of a slide to EUR 4? In any case, the Company is not finding any peace.

Bayer, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech - Healthcare sector on the verge of a renaissance
Promising signs of a renaissance in the healthcare sector have emerged in recent months. Innovative start-ups are driving the digital transformation forward despite a decline in investment, as evidenced by the Digital Health Radar 2024. In Germany, Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has introduced significant legislative reforms by July 2024, such as the introduction of electronic patient records and e-prescriptions. Complemented by increased M&A activity and technological integration through telehealth and AI, experts anticipate significant long-term growth potential despite the challenges faced in 2023. These developments point to a promising future for the healthcare sector. We take a look at three exciting candidates.

DAX correction - Time to sell defense stocks? Rheinmetall, Renk, First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp, and nucera
What an incredible rally in just four weeks! At the beginning of August, the DAX 40 index was still at 17,200 points - yesterday, for the first time, it was close to the 19,000 mark. And all against the backdrop of a flimsy interest rate cut announcement from the US. Once again, investors are betting on a big wave of interest rate cuts, but will they materialize? Although inflation is falling slightly, the price of goods and services has risen by a good 50% in the last four years. We are not referring to the misleading consumer price index of the statisticians but rather to the "menu of the people." We are talking about restaurants, consumption, mobility, and housing. The most significant increase has likely been in the housing sector, where energy prices, insurance costs, and rents have risen dramatically. Soon, even homeowners will be affected by property tax, as the wheel of inflation continues to turn. Equities have once again surged ahead as war and expensive raw materials fuel the market. Where are the opportunities for investors?

BMW focuses on hydrogen! Takeover (fantasy) at BYD, Nel and dynaCERT
BMW recently sold more electric vehicles in Germany than Tesla. However, the Munich-based company does not want to rest on its laurels and is working on various propulsion systems - including hydrogen! BMW plans to intensify its collaboration with Toyota on fuel cells, demonstrating that hydrogen technology remains in demand among global giants. This also fuels the takeover fantasy at Nel. Could the same be true for dynaCERT? The Company's hydrogen technology reduces emissions in diesel vehicles, and the new CEO has strong connections in Europe. And what is BYD doing? So far, the German market has not been fully penetrated, but now the Chinese company is looking to make a significant push.

Artificial intelligence as a winning model! 200% return with Super Micro Computer and BlockchainK2, Caution with Intel and Aixtron!
The high-tech wave has been quite pronounced so far in 2024. Even the correction in July had little impact on the strong trend, which is now continuing upward. However, investors now clearly differentiate between the business models. Pure hardware manufacturers like Intel and Aixtron are coming under increasing scrutiny. On the other hand, Nvidia, the industry leader, is now earning just as much money with data centers as with its ultra-fast graphics chips. In the small-cap segment, highly interesting companies are already successfully using artificial intelligence to streamline business processes and thus achieve enormous cost savings. We analyze a little deeper and look to identify the yield drivers.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, NIO: Global race for the best solutions in e-mobility and energy storage
The energy and automotive sectors are in a state of flux. Volkswagen is implementing drastic cost-cutting measures for its oldest employees and, at the same time, losing market share in the electric vehicle sector. Altech Advanced Materials, on the other hand, is presenting an innovative solution for stationary energy storage with the CERENERGY® solid-state battery. This technology could revolutionize the market for large-scale storage systems and make companies less dependent on regional power supplies. NIO, an up-and-coming electric vehicle manufacturer from China, is revolutionizing the energy supply for electric vehicles with its battery swap system. In doing so, they offer an innovative solution to the biggest pain point for EV drivers to date: charging time. Which company stands for the best forward-looking innovation?

AMD, VCI Global, Dell - The AI favorites after Nvidia
The event of the past trading week was chip giant Nvidia's quarterly figures. Once again, the US giant exceeded expectations. Nevertheless, investors were disappointed, as expectations were too high. Following the exaggerated share price rally of recent months, quite a few experts are advising investors to focus on AI companies with more favorable valuations. In addition to established corporations, smaller companies stand out, particularly those with innovative business areas that could experience a similar upward trend.

Globex Mining, Bayer, and Plug Power - Which company offers the best return with low risk?
Investors understand the interplay between risk and return. Which sectors offer high returns? The Canadian commodities company Globex Mining skillfully balances risk and return in the commodities sector with its diversified portfolio of over 200 commodities projects in North America and Europe. Its setup is akin to a mini-version of Berkshire Hathaway. Bayer AG is tapping into new growth opportunities in the pharmaceuticals sector with its Phase III study for a lung cancer drug. This is much needed as numerous patents are expiring. Plug Power, a pioneer in hydrogen technology is putting all its eggs in one basket - with the potential for huge profits but also considerable losses, as evidenced by the share price plunge from USD 70 in 2021 to currently below USD 3 shows. Which company offers the best return with low risk?

DAX on a high, clear turnaround at Evotec and Saturn Oil + Gas, TUI and Lufthansa in a daily battle
The current stock market euphoria might seem out of place at first glance, given the geopolitical uncertainties, sluggish economic growth, and persistent inflation. However, it is important to remember: The stock market is looking 6 to 9 months ahead. The expectation is that inflation will weaken significantly, and the current interest rate level will fall considerably. In this environment of "steadily improving conditions", technology shares seem to be on the rise. Wars such as those in Ukraine or the Middle East may weigh on people's minds, but they boost the balance sheets of the defense industry. In this respect, there is little reason for pessimism, and the DAX at least reached new all-time highs at the end of August. It is worth taking a look at some of the lagging stocks.

PayPal, Desert Gold Ventures, and Nel ASA facing decisive milestones
Despite fears of recession and increasing geopolitical tensions, Germany's leading index, the DAX, and the Dow Jones reached historic highs and generated fresh buy signals. The precious metal gold is also unstoppable and, after a brief breather, is once again targeting the USD 2,531 per ounce mark. The smaller gold producers and exploration companies, which have so far hardly been able to capitalize on the strong rise, should also benefit disproportionately from a longer bull run.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, Intel - The invisible engine of high-tech applications is called tungsten!
Tungsten, often operating behind the scenes, plays a central role in some of the most innovative and technologically sophisticated industries in the world. As a high-tech raw material, tungsten is essential for the production of modern microchips and electronic devices that shape our everyday lives. At the same time, it is an indispensable component in the defense industry, where its exceptional hardness and resilience contribute significantly to the development of advanced weapons systems. Due to its properties, tungsten is also being used increasingly in batteries. Nevertheless, the importance of this critical raw material is often underestimated.

Desert Gold, Occidental Petroleum, Vonovia SE - Gold, oil, and real estate markets in focus
After a phase of stabilization above the USD 2,300 mark, the price of gold has managed to surpass its previous highs and reach a new record high. This upward trend is also reflected in the rising value of gold explorers like Desert Gold, as recent drilling in Mali, West Africa, has yielded promising results. Established commodity companies such as Occidental Petroleum, on the other hand, are reducing their high levels of debt, which have arisen through the acquisition of assets. The latest figures from real estate company Vonovia SE indicate an easing in the European real estate market, a trend also reflected by major online real estate platforms. The wait-and-see phase seems to be over for both buyers and sellers, with increases in inquiries for both property and financing. Rental housing remains a highly traded commodity. Where is an investment worthwhile? Three companies in focus.

Up to 200% upside potential! Evotec, Tui, and Almonty Industries shares!
Will Evotec's share price double or fall by 40%? Analyst opinions on the ailing biotech company differ widely. The management offers some encouragement, as insiders have been buying shares of Evotec. Almonty is currently performing strongly. The shares of the tungsten producer are at a yearly high. The half-year figures have been convincing, and analysts see around 200% upside potential. Has the share finally initiated its revaluation? By contrast, experts remain skeptical about Tui. Business is booming, but for how much longer?

Share buyback and buy recommendation! Rheinmetall, Aixtron, Saturn Oil + Gas share
Rheinmetall shares well above EUR 600? At least, that is what analysts believe. However, the share of the armaments group is currently struggling somewhat after reaching an all-time high of over EUR 560. But if Rheinmetall now also conquers space, new record highs should only be a matter of time. Analysts believe Saturn Oil & Gas shares have almost 200% upside potential. The oil company, with a market capitalization of over CAD 500 million, is increasingly becoming a free cash flow monster and now plans to use this for share buybacks. Analysts are also taking a positive view of Aixtron again. The technology company confirmed its forecast at an investor conference. How far can the share rise?
