The idea that automakers have no future is a pipe dream. The pandemic shows us: we want to see our loved ones regularly, make new contacts and interact with people. Our car is the key to getting us from A to B in an uncomplicated way. At the same time, however, this mobility must not spoil the next generation's future. Therefore, new developments around clean drives are important and necessary. We introduce three companies and outline the role they play in the mobility revolution.

    Ballard Power: Hydrogen pioneer in an exciting niche market

    Ballard Power is one of the pioneers when it comes to fuel cells. The Company was founded in 1979 and made a name for itself early on with buses equipped with fuel cells. The Canadian Company is now owned by the Chinese, which gives Ballard Power access to an important market. China electrified public transportation back in 2016. Ballard Power has also partnered with Western bus manufacturers, such as Alexander Dennis Ltd.

    While rechargeable batteries are gaining traction in passenger cars, Ballard Power's focus on larger vehicles and even ships could fill just the right niche. The stock gained 180% in a year but has also been weakening for a month. The reason is that hydrogen is increasingly being recognized as a future technology, which will probably only generate significant sales in years to come. As inflation is currently becoming an issue again, the market is discounting future sales and sending the entire industry down on the stock market.

    dynaCERT: When will the price target of CAD 2.20 be reached?

    The dynaCERT share has recently also suffered from the waning hydrogen hype. The Company is not about fuel cells but rather hydrogen-based conversion kits that make existing combustion engines more effective and environmentally friendly. The patented technology is already in use in some vehicles in North America. dynaCERT has primarily selected municipalities and companies as its target group. Buses can be made "greener," or heavy equipment, such as in mining, can score with fewer emissions. Companies are under increasing pressure to become more sustainable, especially in the mining industry.

    In recent weeks, dynaCERT has stepped up its sales efforts and is also looking to roll out its technology on a large scale. Earlier this year, Canadian analyst firm Haywood called the stock the sustainability opportunity for 2021 and set a price target many times higher than current levels at CAD 2.20. Since then, the price has calmed down. The Company continues to work in the background. The technology is interesting for the transition to e-cars or other alternative drives. Those who think anti-cyclically can get in without stress.

    Porsche: Strong brand, clear strategy

    Things are clearer at Porsche - the share has already risen sharply for this. The Company has strong ties to Volkswagen and therefore benefits from Lower Saxony's electrification strategy, which has been well received by the market. VW wants to map the entire supply chain around electric cars and their batteries. Porsche also already has electric cars on offer. The powertrains, which enable powerful acceleration, are a good fit for Porsche's vehicles, which have always been sporty.

    The stock has gained more than 60% in the last three months and is currently trading near its long-term high, just above EUR 90. Car manufacturers from Germany are currently in demand as never before. The market is rewarding their strong brands and solid market position and pricing in future fantasies surrounding electromobility. Porsche is a clear hold. Although the share has risen sharply, it is still good for triple-digit prices.

    Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Movement in the biotech sector

    • Investments

    Is a new wave of takeovers starting in the biotech sector? Already last year, acquisitions by Big Pharma were expected to increase, but these largely failed to materialize. However, this could accelerate in the current year. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies, such as vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, have deep pockets and need new innovations for their product portfolio; on the other hand, second-tier stocks are attractive targets due to the strong correction.

    Canadian fuel cell manufacturer Ballard Power joins First Hydrogen for LCV test drive. The two companies are cooperating to produce the world's first hydrogen-powered vans. According to expert forecasts, the logistics industry will be worth EUR 13.7 billions by 2027. Change at Volkswagen's premium Audi brand is proceeding rather sluggishly. The regulations imposed by the EU are causing problems for CEO Duesmann, who sees it as unrealistic to implement everything that Brussels demands by 2025. Daimler Truck, on the other hand, is looking forward to a major order that will soon get 1.8 million people in the Hamburg metropolitan region moving. The Hamburg-Holstein transport authority signs a major order.

    Alpina Holdings, Vonovia, Credit Suisse - Real estate market booms in Asia, Europe staggers along

    The Silicon Valley Bank knockout is also making its rounds on this side of the Atlantic. Credit Suisse shares are currently reeling, sliding 30% lower, after its main shareholder ruled out further support. This helped drag down all European banks. That is not all. The real estate industry across Europe is also trembling as the EU Parliament has passed a resolution for the compulsory renovation of all houses. By 2050, all buildings in Europe are to be climate-neutral. As early as 2028, only buildings that are considered "emission-free" are to be allowed to be built. Existing buildings will have to be refurbished if they are deemed to be in poor condition. That means immense renovation costs for the Vonovia real estate group, which is suspected of corruption. The Singapore-based company Alpina Holdings is in a better position here. The Company builds and manages both public and private properties in the Lion City. Read here what this means for investors.
