After a meteoric 1,000% rise in just 12 months, D-Wave Quantum shares continue to attract attention. Analysts are significantly raising their price targets - is the next short squeeze already looming? Meanwhile, bargain hunters should take a closer look at MiMedia. The Walmart partner's shares have halved since July, yet the Company is making strong progress in expanding its cloud platform. A rebound of up to 100% back to its previous high is possible. And in Europe, Zalando is back on investors' radar. Analysts see up to 70% upside potential, while the chart is also looking more favorable again. However, the weak consumer climate continues to weigh on business sentiment.

    MiMedia: Bargain hunters take note!

    The recent upswing in technology stocks has completely bypassed the cloud service provider MiMedia's stock. While the growth company was still trading at EUR 0.64 in July, it is currently only EUR 0.32, presenting an exciting entry opportunity.

    The Company has already laid the foundation for significant revenue growth in the coming year. Those who position themselves now can benefit from this. MiMedia is a provider of cloud-based storage solutions for personal media data such as photos, videos, music, documents, and text messages. Through apps and desktop clients, the platform enables a cross-platform user experience with a focus on private and secure data backup.

    MiMedia is active in the US and in emerging markets in Central and South America, Africa and Asia. In Mexico, MiMedia is a cooperation partner of Walmart Latin America. Under the agreement, the MiMedia app will be integrated into over 18 million smartphones of the "Bait" mobile phone brand – both on new devices and via OTA updates on existing Android phones. MiMedia also convinced Chinese manufacturer Coolpad to pre-install its app in the first half of the year.

    The Company recently announced that it will now also offer its cloud platform in Arabic. The aim is to target Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Device deliveries with OEM partners are already planned for the coming months.

    MiMedia CEO Chris Giordano commented: "With this new language, our global language offering now includes Arabic, English, Spanish, French, German, traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Hindi, among others. We believe that global demand for consumer cloud services will continue to grow strongly for many years to come, particularly due to the rapid expansion of AI."

    With these prospects, MiMedia's share price should also rebound.

    Zalando: Analysts optimistic

    Zalando shareholders have not been shouting with joy for some time now – at least not because of their stock's performance. But the tide could be turning. The German e-commerce leader's stock has now broken out of the downward trend that had been in place since February 2025 and is trading at around EUR 26. Compared to the EUR 40 level in February and the performance of the DAX, this is, of course, still no reason to rejoice. However, analysts have recently expressed optimism and believe new annual highs are possible.

    Berenberg recommends buying Zalando shares. The acquisition of competitor ABOUT YOU is expected to have a positive impact on business development. Analysts see the fair value of the share at EUR 44. This corresponds to a price potential of around 70%. Goldman Sachs is similarly optimistic. Following a meeting with management, they confirmed their "Buy" recommendation. Accordingly, the management board has reaffirmed its goal of increasing the EBIT margin to between 6% and 8% by 2028. The differentiated market positions of Zalando and ABOUT YOU were presented in a plausible manner.

    D-Wave: 1,000% not enough?

    D-Wave Quantum shareholders can smile wearily at a price potential of 70%. Those who bought in November 2024 can look forward to a return of over 1,000%. Even in the past 6 months, performance has been an impressive 200%.

    With a market capitalization of USD 8.6 billion, conventional valuation methods are no longer applicable. In the first half of 2025, D-Wave generated revenue of USD 18.1 million and a net loss of USD 172.8 million. The stock is buoyed by the theory that quantum computing will revolutionize the world. In addition, there are repeated short squeezes, leading to sharp price jumps. Most recently, short sellers were caught off guard two weeks ago, and D-Wave's stock shot up from USD 14 to USD 23 within five trading days.

    And analysts see even more upside potential. Experts at B. Riley recently raised their price target for D-Wave Quantum shares from USD 22 to USD 33. Following the Quantum World Congress, analysts expect the industry to commercialize more quickly than previously assumed. They therefore recommend buying D-Wave shares.


    The share price decline at MiMedia does not reflect the Company's progress. In terms of market penetration, the cloud service provider is making progress and has strong partners. This should also benefit the stock again. D-Wave is currently the investor favorite in the quantum sector. If the hype continues, the stock should continue to perform well. Analysts are more optimistic about Zalando again. However, given the current consumer climate in Germany, a purchase does not appear particularly compelling.

    The focus is now on critical infrastructure – Power Metallic Mines delivers dream results, SAP and Oracle test the rebound

    Every day, a flood of news hits the capital markets. The focus is on international crises, which in turn have major implications for national economies. Areas with large fossil fuel reserves are coming to the fore, and for months now, scenarios of critical metal shortages have been discussed and reassessed accordingly. High-tech and AI stocks thrive on a steady influx of computing power and are dependent on the promised expansion of the electrical infrastructure. This requires a variety of raw materials from the metal sector. Power Metallic Mines has positioned itself perfectly in the current situation with its NISK project, while Oracle and SAP are driven by their cloud and data models, which are falling out of favor due to AI. It remains to be seen whether a revival in earnings can take place in line with analysts' estimates. It is not easy to convince people, so we are analyzing the accompanying circumstances.

    Nuclear power comeback in the EU! Solid returns with American Atomics, Amazon, and E.ON

    Since the EU nuclear summit in Paris a few days ago, it has become clear that nuclear energy is once again socially acceptable in Europe. At the meeting, the European Commission described the former move away from nuclear power as a strategic mistake and launched a comprehensive offensive for small modular reactors (SMRs). According to the EU strategy, an SMR capacity of up to 53 GW is to be built up by 2050 in order to reduce the persistently high electricity prices and stop the impending exodus of industry. At the same time, a new factor is driving global electricity demand: artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the share of nuclear and renewable energy in the global electricity mix will rise to 50% by 2030. Tech giants such as Amazon increasingly want to satisfy the energy hunger of AI data centers themselves. E.ON is also likely to benefit from this historic strategic shift by operating stable grids. However, at the source of the new boom is the up-and-coming exploration company American Atomics, which is searching for urgently needed uranium and closing a strategic gap in the supply chain. We highlight where investors can find the most attractive opportunities.

    Iran war and skyrocketing oil prices! Are there any winners at all? Infineon, First Hydrogen, and Aixtron in focus

    Tensions in Iran have escalated rapidly, with military actions unfolding over a seven-day period. For the international community and struggling economies, a sustained 20% increase in oil prices means a sharp decline in economic growth and a huge surge in inflation on store shelves due to downstream inflationary effects. Consumers will not fall into a new buying frenzy in times of war, but will keep their wallets closed. Stock market traders need to think beyond short-term reactions. The real opportunities may now lie in companies that have struggled in recent days or emerging stocks with strong long-term prospects. Which names are positioned to recover fastest once the crisis stabilizes?
