The Ukraine crisis is currently shaking up the capital markets. But such a time also offers the opportunity to analyze one's portfolio and make changes where necessary. The assessments of analysts can help here. With TeamViewer, Allianz and Altech Advanced Materials, we present opinions on companies of different sizes and sectors. The figures and outlook of insurance giant Allianz have convinced analysts. TeamViewer's stock has recovered from its lows in recent weeks, but analysts are still predominantly cautious. When people think of German battery technology, they usually think of Varta. But there is also an exciting microcap. Game-changer potential is seen in Altech.

    Altech: researchanalyst report sees game-changer potential

    Altech Advanced Materials AG could revolutionize the market for lithium-ion batteries with innovative approaches. That is the conclusion of a recent study by researchanalyst.com. The experts took a closer look at the Heidelberg-based Company and see game-changer potential. Altech is working with partners to increase battery performance by more than 15% and extend their service life by up to 30%. To this end, research is being conducted into anode coating with high-purity aluminum oxide (HPA) and silicon enrichment. If the Heidelberg-based Company succeeds in further increasing the proportion of silicon in the anode, performance increases of 50 or 100% are possible. Initial results are promising: laboratory tests have shown stable results with significantly improved properties. Modern batteries generally take years to develop, but Altech could quickly be on the market using a so-called drop-in technology.

    The next stage is to set up a pilot production site and prove commercial and industrial production. If that succeeds, then "customers should be knocking on the Company's doors," analysts said. A 14-hectare industrial site in Saxony has already been acquired to build the pilot plant. The plant is expected to produce a capacity of about 10,000t annually. Initially, 120kg per day of the lithium-ion battery material will be produced for testing and qualification by customers. The knowledge gained will be used to optimize the plant design and process parameters for a full-scale production facility. The analysts conclude that Altech could shake up the battery market with its innovative approaches to optimizing performance. With these prospects, the current market capitalization of just under EUR 6 million does not seem too high.

    TeamViewer: Unable to convince analysts

    TeamViewer's stock has recovered from its lows in recent weeks. However, the majority of analysts advise against buying the stock. The disappointment over weak figures, the expensive marketing deal with Manchester United and changes in management over the past year are still too great. The Company provides cloud-based software that enables users to collaborate online and provide remote support globally. Services range from remote support of customers or employees to location-independent control, monitoring and managing equipment or complex machines and instruments, to workflows supported by augmented reality. Yesterday, Goldman Sachs confirmed its "Neutral" rating with a price target of EUR 16.50. The management of the software company pointed to the continued solid corporate business and did not rule out possible acquisitions. In February alone, seven analyst firms have spoken out on TeamViewer. Five of them recommend holding TeamViewer shares. Only DZ Bank, with a price target of EUR 20, and Warburg Research, with a price target of EUR 26, recommend buying. Both analysts view the announced share buyback as positive. DZ Bank sees TeamViewer as significantly undervalued compared to other companies in the sector.

    Allianz: Analysts convinced by figures and outlook

    Analysts are much more optimistic about the future prospects of the Allianz share. Since last Friday alone, there have been five buy recommendations. In the same period, two analysts have confirmed their hold recommendations. Previously, the German insurance travel had convinced with positive figures. Allianz increased operating profit by 25% to EUR 13.4 billion in 2021. Although profit fell by 3% to EUR 6.6 billion, this takes into account provisions of EUR 3.7 billion, of which EUR 2.8 billion came from legal disputes in the US. In the current year, the DAX-listed group aims to achieve an operating profit of between EUR 12.4 billion and EUR 14.4 billion. Of the analysts, Berenberg is particularly optimistic, with a price target of EUR 269, while JPMorgan sees "only" EUR 240 and advises holding the share.


    After the share price crash, TeamViewer's recovery has lost momentum, and analysts are cautious. Allianz convinces with figures and outlook. If the pilot plant works, Altech could shake up the huge battery market.

    FREYR Battery, dynaCERT, BYD - Speed beats engineering and bureaucracy

    The hunt is on for high-performance powertrains! Industry-experienced Canadian hydrogen technology company dynaCERT shines with a new collaboration with Cipher Neutron. Together they are creating an electrolyzer cell that will produce 28 times more hydrogen gas than conventional cells. FREYR Battery is also making progress with its battery gigafactories, but soon on the other side of the Atlantic due to tax advantages, as the domestic government in Norway seems too slow. Progress could be faster at Volkswagen. What good is German engineering when rival BYD is not only selling cars at a breathtaking speed but also securing battery production in China for the Company's own growth? We provide an overview.

    Caution with TUI and Varta! Smartbroker Holding with 85% price potential!

    At around EUR 6, the TUI share is trading at an all-time low. Is now the time to buy into the tourism group? One analyst warns against it and believes the share price could fall by a third. Caution is also advised with Varta. The former German battery hopeful is fighting for survival. Analysts halve the price target and recommend selling the share. And the shareholders' association SdK is also sounding the alarm. A total loss cannot be ruled out. Instead of catching a falling knife, focusing on shares in an upward trend, such as Smartbroker Holding, is worthwhile. The share is one of the current year's high flyers, and analysts believe further price increases of over 80% are possible. Thanks to the new app, EBITDA could increase more than tenfold.

    It is called the white gold. Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used energy storage devices in electric vehicles. The soft alkali metal offers high specific energy, which means it can store a lot of energy per unit weight, which enables electric vehicles to have a greater range. Due to the growing demand resulting from the transformation in the transport sector, there is a disproportionate demand for the critical raw material. Supply, on the other hand, is severely limited.
