The hydrogen industry is in the focus of investors and the energy carrier is giving hope to politics and economy. While the general public still has to struggle with the Corona consequences, the champagne mood has already returned at the stock exchange with the hydrogen shares. Every announcement with details of turnover and visions is frenetically celebrated and leads to an increase in market capitalization through share purchases. Scalable business models with a focus on environmental protection are in demand and, as is well known, money can be earned with solutions.

    Supplier for vehicle manufacturers

    Ballard Power's share price yesterday reached the highest price since 2003 on the Canadian home market TSX. At the peak, the shares changed hands at CAD 19.73. At this level, the company is not far from reaching the CAD 5 billion market capitalization. The manufacturer of fuel cells has been able to record an increase in value of around 100% since the beginning of the year.

    However, the trees do not grow into the sky and to justify a valuation at this level in the long term, not only great products are needed, but also corresponding growth rates and profits.

    Solution for now and today

    dynaCERT has developed a technology that uses hydrogen as a catalyst and not as a fuel. The patented innovation is called HydraGEN and is offered for retrofitting diesel engines. The market for the technology is huge and the operational development after the Corona restrictions is extremely exciting. Whoever uses HydroGEN not only saves up to 20% diesel, but at the same time protects the environment by reducing pollutant emissions.

    The company is also listed in Canada and will shortly complete the segment change from TSXV to TSX. This step was accompanied by a capital measure. The company has received CAD 7.3 million in fresh equity for expansion. The market value of dynaCERT is currently around CAD 245 million. At CAD 0.71, the stock is currently trading far below its February 2020 high of CAD 1.25.

    Infrastructure partner for hydrogen

    ITM Power from Great Britain focuses on the development and manufacture of hydrogen generation and storage systems. The company equips filling stations and is therefore a predestined partner for the development of a nationwide filling station network. The value of the company now amounts to EUR 1.6 billion and has brought shareholders in the past 12 months an increase in value of over 800%.

    In Germany alone there are 14,000 filling stations with gasoline and diesel. Assuming that hydrogen should become established as an energy carrier and fuel for the new mobility, it is to be expected that the supply in Germany will require a comparable density of filling stations.

    DAX on record course, hydrogen sell-off! Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel ASA and Daimler Truck on the test bench

    • Hydrogen
    • greenhydrogen
    • renewableenergies

    The DAX is soaring because most investors expect interest rates to fall. Based on the assumption of slower growth, investors are again focusing on cyclically sensitive stocks at the turn of the year. According to the expectation curves for ECB and FED interest rates, the first downward adjustments are already expected in Q2. The key factors here are the slight fall in inflation and the central banks' desire to cushion the potential downturn. Despite all the euphoria, the desire to buy is currently bypassing the hydrogen sector. Representatives of the sector are the stock market losers of 2023. Is there still a possibility of a quick rebound in 2024? We do the math.

    Is there about to be a changing of the guard in the hydrogen sector? There are significant doubts that the previous investor favorites, Nel and Plug Power, will get their losses under control. Who could be the new favorites? Siemens Energy and BASF are working on a production plant for CO2-free hydrogen. The partners are now receiving funding from the federal government and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. dynaCERT is having its technology tested under the toughest conditions. The hydrogen and emissions reduction specialist is equipping a team for the Dakar Classic Rally. Could 2024 bring revenue growth? thyssenkrupp nucera shows that you can also earn money with hydrogen. Analysts see almost 100% share price potential.

    Getting in now? Hydrogen - The analysis: Nel and Plug Power sold off, rebound at dynaCERT!

    It was like a crash. The hype sector hydrogen experienced one of the most significant sell-offs in recent stock market history with a complete reversal to the downside. Parallel to otherwise bullish markets, losses of 70 to 90% were not uncommon. The rationale behind this is understandable and frustrating at the same time: green-oriented governments around the world are trying to accelerate the climate transition but often have the wrong targets in mind due to their lack of expertise. Hydrogen is just a selectively applicable technology and not a solution for global energy supply. Studies show that only the complete, green production of H2 makes any economic sense. Investors have long since seen through the game, and politicians may have to fail before the necessary insight comes. Nevertheless, there are some opportunities for sensible hydrogen applications. We delve into the topic and put current models to the test.
