The Corona Pandemic brings with it many changes. The influences in the supply chain are affecting the economy to the point of stagnation. The lack of contact for people creates challenges in coping with everyday life. The term 'home office' is used in an inflationary way - and often misused, because the difference between 'home office' and 'working from home' is the noise and stress level around it. On top of this, there are also supply bottlenecks for hygiene products, basic foodstuffs and protective equipment. According to a recent statement by the Federal Minister of Economics, Peter Altmaier (CDU), Germany will need 12 billion masks per year to protect the population. But the well-being of the people also depends on other factors.

    Early stage opportunity

    The young Canadian company EXMceuticals focuses on the extraction of pure ingredients from the cannabis plant. The company operates as a supplier for the manufacture of products requiring high quality ingredients. EXMceuticals is operationally located in Lisbon, Portugal and is currently planning to set up a production plant there.

    The management around CEO Jonathan Summers sees the European market as the primary sales market. The product world with cannabis as an ingredient is being developed worldwide. The natural active ingredient has already established itself in many areas and the market with pure ingredients is quite lucrative. The EXMceuticals shares enable investors to participate at an early stage with price potential.

    Success story with ingredients

    One of the most renowned companies in the global flavors and ingredients business is Symrise from Germany. In some regions of the world, the population comes into contact with Symrise products 20 to 30 times a day. The flavors and active ingredients are used in more than 30,000 products from over 6,000 customers in more than 100 countries, and their ingredients and flavors ensure natural nutrition.

    Products from Symrise's portfolio can also be found in the cosmetics sector. After a brief period of weakness, the Symrise share price is now back above the level of January 2020.

    Group with diversification

    The shares of the German Bayer Group can also benefit from the period following the Corona Pandemic, as the demand for medical products will continue to grow in the future. It is possible that there will be Bayer's application products that in the future may limit the spread of viral diseases or alleviate their consequences.

    In addition, the acquisition of Monsanto has given the Bayer Group strong roots in the agricultural sector, and the issue of sustainable and healthy nutrition will become an issue that Bayer can address with modern, environmentally friendly products as the population grows around the world. At the moment, the uncertainty surrounding the financial extent of the legal actions for damages in connection with the Monsanto acquisition is creating uncertainties in planning - but the chapter is also finite.

    If you missed the silver rally, the current consolidation could offer an interesting entry opportunity - and potentially a chance to add to positions. One intriguing second-tier stock in this context is Silver Viper Minerals. In a compelling interview, the CEO outlines the company's strengths. Could it soon become the largest explorer in Mexico? At first glance, the sharp drop in Gerresheimer’s share price might argue in favor of a buying opportunity. However, there are significant concerns. The company’s accounting practices remain subject to scrutiny, and now operational performance is also showing signs of weakness. In contrast, TUI appears to be performing solidly. The tourism group is paying dividends again and has had a strong start to the new year. While the share price has edged slightly lower, insiders have been buying.

    Many stories of success and failure are written on the stock market. NEO Battery Materials, the game changer in battery technology, is particularly exciting. The Canadian company offers manufacturers of drones, robots, and electric vehicles customizable high-performance batteries produced in the West. With its innovative approach, the company is setting new standards in terms of performance, charging speed, and price, thereby addressing a huge market that experts estimate will grow to around USD 30 billion by 2032. The examples of Gerresheimer and Schott Pharma show how differently companies in the same industry can develop: Schott exceeded market expectations in the first quarter, while Gerresheimer shocked the markets once again.
