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.

    Full interview

     

    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.

    Time for savvy buyers! Should you get in now with thyssenkrupp, Plug Power, Nel ASA, Pure Hydrogen, or nucera?

    Such volatility is rare on the stock markets. After months of upward movement, the potential for a correction has also been tested in recent days. Investors now need strong nerves and a clear focus on fundamentals - overvalued stocks can lose ground within a matter of days, even if the price build-up took months. Smart investors use so-called trailing stops, which automatically adjust upwards as valuations rise. In the best case, the automated exit is then triggered from above once the previously defined percentage loss threshold is reached. In the hydrogen sector, prices have moved erratically. Where should investors take action now?

    Caution with Plug Power and Gerresheimer! Gold heading toward USD 10,000? What is happening with Formation Metals shares?

    • Takeover

    Experts see Formation Metals as a potential multi-million-ounce gold story with takeover potential. In addition, the Canadian exploration company's cash position is almost equal to its market capitalization. In contrast, Plug Power's cash burn remains high. Will the stock market be satisfied with the reduction in losses and speculation around AI and energy? And what is Gerresheimer doing? The stock's decline appears to be relentless, with personnel changes having little effect so far. Meanwhile, a drop below the EUR 20 mark is also possible.

    D-Wave price target doubled! Is the US losing the AI race? Plug Power and First Hydrogen shares benefit!

    • Fuelcells

    Despite giants like Nvidia and OpenAI, is the US losing the race for the best artificial intelligence to China? Increasingly, experts are warning that this could be the case. The reason: the US could face an energy problem. Much less GW of capacity is being fed into the grid than in China. In the search for beneficiaries, Plug Power has recently been highlighted. The Company is now attractively valued again. In contrast, First Hydrogen appears to have catch-up potential and could even attract takeover interest. Beyond AI, quantum technology is electrifying the stock market. After D-Wave's stock recently underwent a sharp correction, analysts have now doubled the price target.
