On the capital market investors find an infinite variety of possibilities to invest their money. There are listed companies that have a history and are valued on the basis of compliance with prospects and fundamentals. And then there are innovative companies that attract capital regardless of all valuation parameters because they have a product that solves problems and arouses desires. If the product is also scalable, then the potential of the shares is often exorbitant, depending on the market size.

    Ballard Power with hydrogen

    The Canadian fuel cell manufacturer Ballard Power has experienced a veritable price rally over the past 12 months. During this period, the company's share price rose from below EUR 2.80 to over EUR 9.50. The shareholders were able to achieve a return of over 230%.

    The market capitalization is now quoted at over 2 billion EUR. The topic of hydrogen in modern mobility is gaining more and more interest and based on that investors are looking for investment opportunities that are active in this field with scalable products.

    dynaCERT makes diesel greener

    Also located in Canada is the innovative company dynaCERT. After more than 15 years of research and development, the experts for hydrogen technologies were able to bring a device to series production readiness with which diesel engines can be retrofitted. The advantage of the technology is that the consumption of diesel can be reduced by up to 18% and, in addition, emissions of NOx, carbon dioxide and particulate matter are also significantly reduced.

    As currently circa one billion diesel engines are in operation and the use of dynaCERT's HydraGEN technology not only offers high savings in fuel consumption but also protects the environment, the share price could increase from below EUR 0.17 to over EUR 0.72 in the past 12 months. With a market value of EUR 230 million, the company is still a lightweight compared to Ballard Power.

    Tesla and the battery car

    Tesla from the USA is a prime example of a new trend. The manufacturer of battery cars has been the focus of reporting for over a decade. The founder at the top of the company is Elon Musk. He is driving Tesla's innovations forward and his announcements are causing euphoria and imagination on the capital market. It's hard to imagine that Tesla today would have a valuation of over EUR 81 billion if Tesla had been led by an employed CEO over the past ten years.

    Musk is there with passion and emotion, and this is the only way to keep the company continuously alive with new cash injections. The share price increased by over 60% from EUR 290.00 to EUR 475.00 in the comparison period. Ten years ago, Tesla shares changed hands at less than EUR 15.00, which clearly shows how enormous the potential of innovations and trends can be.

    Cancer in Focus: Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca

    According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, there are currently around 20.6 million new cancer cases worldwide. The annual death toll is estimated at approximately 10 million people. In recent years, more than 53 million people globally have received a cancer diagnosis. According to the WHO, the number of new cases per year is expected to rise to about 35 million by 2050. Two factors are generally cited as the main drivers: demographic change, with the global population getting older, as well as rising rates of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and air pollution in many countries. Unsurprisingly, the oncology market is correspondingly lucrative. Oncology is the world's largest pharmaceutical market. There is, however, also some good news: the age-adjusted risk of dying from cancer is declining thanks to earlier detection, targeted therapies and advances in immuno-oncology. Today, we take a closer look at this market through the stocks of Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca.

    Endless NASDAQ Rally – AI Drives Demand for Electric Power and Hydrogen: Nel ASA, dynaCERT, BYD, and ITM Power

    While the relentless tech rally on the NASDAQ races from one historic all-time high to the next thanks to the insatiable AI boom, investors are increasingly focusing on the industry's fundamental Achilles' heel: the enormous electricity demand of AI data centers. As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in business operations, it not only requires vast amounts of electricity but is also automating routine tasks that were once performed by human workers. This rapid adoption is driving an unprecedented need for reliable power generation. The question is no longer whether additional energy will be needed, but where it will come from. Investors looking toward the future are increasingly seeking the most compelling ESG investment opportunities at the intersection of high-tech innovation and energy production. In addition to expanding nuclear energy, many cleantech solutions are being explored. The e-mobility giant BYD recognized this challenge years ago; today, it dominates the roads worldwide with groundbreaking battery technologies. Complementing the electrification trend is the growing hydrogen economy, where Nel ASA and ITM Power continue to play important roles. At the same time, dynaCERT is rapidly advancing toward broader commercial adoption through an ambitious expansion strategy in Asia, leveraging its emissions-reduction technology. Where are the key catalysts for investors?

    Rising healthcare spending, an aging population, and an unprecedented depth of research are propelling the life sciences sector into a multi-year supercycle. And there are some strong players! Gerresheimer stands out as a brilliant infrastructure asset and a leading provider of high-quality primary packaging. In the field of injections and biologics, the company benefits directly from the explosion of complex therapies and GLP-1 markets. Vidac Pharma is conducting research in the field of cancer and leveraging the Warburg effect for its upcoming studies—a classic high-beta play for investors betting on above-average growth. Novo Nordisk remains the undisputed flagship of the obesity and diabetes wave, and Pfizer is using the current lull in valuations as an opportunity to ignite the next phase of growth with a broad pipeline spanning oncology, vaccines, and new forms of therapy. Who belongs in the portfolio for the next life sciences boom?
