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.

    Artificial intelligence and electromobility are simultaneously driving demand for chips and metals. Data centres need memory chips and plenty of copper for power and wiring, while electric vehicles need batteries and copper as well. In early November, Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT reported progress on a new DRAM architecture. Shortly before that, BYD had reported more than 300,000 all-electric vehicles in a single month for the first time in October. If the trend continues, memory chips, copper and electric vehicles will benefit from the same demand. We therefore take a closer look at Micron Technology, Power Metallic Mines and BYD.

    Copper under election pressure: Southern Copper, Power Metallic Mines and Freeport McMoran in focus

    Two factors boosted the upward trend in copper over recent months and years. One was the additional demand from the massive expansion of AI infrastructure in the US by the so-called AI hyperscalers. The other was the threat of tariffs hanging over the market. The US government planned such tariffs to promote domestic mining and bring more processing capacity into the country. Both factors have been called into question since last week's midterm elections. The Democrats want to slow the expansion of data centres and regulate AI players such as OpenAI or Anthropic more tightly. Both weighed on the copper price last week, which fell to its lowest level since July. "Markets are still digesting the implications of a blue wave", wrote Daniel Ghali, head of commodities research at Deutsche Bank, summarising the current market situation. This does not jeopardise the structural rise in demand for copper. Nevertheless, progress could be somewhat slower for the time being. For investors, this market situation offers opportunities in battered copper stocks. Today, we take a look at the shares of Southern Copper, Power Metallic Mines and Freeport McMoRan.

    A leading gold producer realised an average of USD 4,249 per ounce in the third quarter, up 23% from a year earlier. The business therefore remains lucrative, even though the gold price recently slipped below USD 3,900. This plays into producers' hands, albeit in very different ways. Large producers benefit from wide margins, explorers can hope for growing interest in new projects if prices remain high, and companies with strong cash flow can invest or return money to their shareholders. We therefore take a closer look today at Barrick Mining, DRC Gold and Kinross Gold.
