The need for a secure supply of energy that is available at all times is growing as digitization and electrification advance. Many building blocks have to fit together before an electric motor can run. Raw materials such as copper are at the very beginning of the value chain. This industrial metal has excellent conductivity and is therefore linked to various facets of electromobility and power generation. Position yourself correctly ahead of the next growth spurt!

    BYD CO LTD - World league: come to stay

    Asian flagship BYD put in an impressive performance over the past 12 months, with its share price nearly doubling. In general, the rise of the high-tech Company, founded in 1995, has been impressive. While it used to be Asian names like Samsung or LG that stood out in the technology sector, today, one can find more and more Chinese companies in the top Group of individual industries. The Group is well-positioned in industries related to electronics, automobiles, and renewable energy.

    Today, BYD is a leading manufacturer of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) and offers a wide range of products. Yesterday, it was reported that BYD's electric vehicle partnership with ADL, a subsidiary of North American bus manufacturer NFI Group, successfully landed an attractive new order. First Bus ordered 22 e-buses from Tandem, which is solidifying itself as the leading manufacturer of electric buses in the UK.

    BYD is undoubtedly an innovative growth Company and belongs in a well-diversified portfolio. The stock market value of the equivalent of EUR 74 billion and the 2021 P/E ratio is not too high compared to some other companies.

    KODIAK COPPER CORP - favorable entry opportunity

    The sharp rise in the red metal price last year triggered real price fireworks in Kodiak shares. From January to October 2020, the shares increased tenfold. A correction has been underway for several months now. The share price has slightly more than halved from the high in 2020, meaning the Company is currently valued at around CAD 70 million.

    Kodiak's portfolio includes two exciting copper projects. Most recently, good drill results were released in February. The most advanced is the MPD copper-gold porphyry project in southern British Columbia, Canada. In the past year, the discovery of high-grade mineralization within a broad mineralization zone boosted the share price significantly.

    The second site is the Mohave copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry project in Arizona. Nearby is the world-class Bagdad mine, owned by Freeport-McMoRan. An exploration program is expected to start at Mohave in the near future. The depressed price level invites investors to position themselves before the publication of the next results.

    RWE AG - Analysts calculate an upside potential of 30%

    RWE's core business is the production of electricity and electricity trading. In 2018, the DAX-listed Group once again raised its profile in a transaction with E.ON, in which extensive assets were swapped. RWE sold its subsidiary Innogy to its competitor from Essen and, in return, received the entire renewables business.

    As one of the world's leading suppliers in the field of renewable energies, RWE intends to expand its market position further and invest massively in wind and solar energy, but also in storage technologies. In figures, the Group will invest around EUR 5 billion in Europe, North America and the Asia/Pacific region by 2022, including EUR 1 billion in Germany. As a result, the "Renewables" portfolio is to be expanded to more than 13 gigawatts. In addition, the Company has set itself an ambitious goal: climate neutrality by 2040.

    At the beginning of the year, shares were quoted at EUR 38 and have corrected by almost 30% to the current price level of EUR 30. As a result, the Company is now valued at EUR 18.6 billion. A total of 27 analysts follow the stock, 20 of them coming to a "buy" assessment and an average target price of around EUR 40. This average target price corresponds to an upside potential of around 30%. On March 16, the Group will publish its figures for the past fiscal year.

    Focus on Critical Infrastructure: Power Metallic Mines Shines, Heidelberger Druck & LPKF Laser Ready to Take Off

    The Strait of Hormuz is currently one of the most frequently cited geopolitical buzzwords in international media. At the same time, potential supply chain bottlenecks involving critical metals have been the subject of intense discussion for months. The valuation of high-tech and AI companies is largely based on the continuous expansion of computing capacities and the necessary electrical infrastructure. This transformation process requires enormous quantities of industrial metals and strategic raw materials. In the ongoing war scenario, however, everything is being put to the test! Against this backdrop, Power Metallic Mines is positioning itself with its NISK project in a market environment increasingly shaped by raw material security and supply chain stability. On the other hand, Heidelberger Druck and LPKF Laser are betting on an operational turnaround with different technological approaches. We analyze the relevant drivers, risks, and valuation prospects in detail.

    Bulls Regain Control? Globex Mining, SAP, and Oracle Gain Ground

    The 2026 investment year has so far turned out much better than expected. Despite all the international turmoil and several current hotspots, the S&P 500 index reached a new all-time high of 7,147 points last week. Tech stocks were back in the spotlight, while the recently sought-after commodity stocks took a hit. Critical metals, however, remain the top issue due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. China is now only exporting them in limited quantities, so many analysts already view them as a "showstopper" for economic development through 2030. What can the West do? Little in the short term, but in the long term, import dependencies must be replaced with genuine domestic deposits, many of which must also be brought into production quickly. Regulators are therefore called upon to act, even if the word "quickly" has not yet become part of the official vocabulary in Brussels. At Canada's Globex Mining, a lot is already getting underway. Tech stocks SAP and Oracle have likely finally put their lows behind them.

    Copper Rally: How BYD Is Suffering as a Consumer – and Why Power Metallic Mines & Freeport McMoRan Are Cashing In Now

    • Electromobility

    The global energy transition, e-mobility, and the AI boom are causing copper demand to skyrocket. At the same time, supply is shrinking: aging mines, declining ore grades, and years-long exploration times for new deposits. This gap between structurally rising demand and production that can barely be expanded is fueling the debate about a commodities supercycle. Those who build the right positions now could benefit disproportionately. It is precisely in this context that a closer look at three companies is warranted: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Freeport McMoRan.
