Be honest, would you have believed in such a rise in electric cars 5 years ago? The era of internal combustion engines seems to be over; lithium battery-powered vehicles like Tesla, BYD, Nio and in the near future, Apple are having a hard time keeping up with the orders. It goes unnoticed that the important light metal lithium is becoming increasingly scarce. The drastic excess demand for the second most common element in the universe after hydrogen looks similar. The advantage, this trend has not yet been noticed on the capital market. Take advantage of this opportunity!

    Limited choice of players

    While hydrogen companies are sprouting like mushrooms, the selection of pure helium companies on the stock market is scarce. It is surprising, as the demand for helium is growing significantly in both the healthcare and manufacturing sectors. In addition, the space sector is becoming increasingly important. NASA, for example, is already the largest single customer for helium trading. When rockets are launched, helium is needed to regulate the pressure of the propellant tanks.

    One Company that could become a top pick at the moment is the Canadian Company Royal Helium. Royal Helium has access to around 400,000 hectares of promising helium land in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, making it one of the largest helium leasing companies in North America.

    Studies show huge potential

    Back in November, it was announced that an engineering study for a large-scale industrial gas generation facility based in Saskatchewan was being initiated by Royal Helium and conducted by the Saskatchewan Research Council. The study is intended to demonstrate a large-scale facility's economic potential to separate and monetize the gas streams associated with helium production wells in Saskatchewan.

    Helium is produced along with large volumes of other inert gases for a large global market. According to Royal Helium CEO Andrew Davidson, helium production economics can be significant in their own right. However, commercialization of other gases could add significantly to net cash flow.

    Significantly oversubscribed placement

    Initially, Royal Helium was looking to raise CAD 4.0 million in gross proceeds in a private placement. Since the explorer's paper's demand was so high, it was initially increased to CAD 5.0 million. At the end of last week, the significantly oversubscribed placement closed with CAD 6.15 million gross proceeds. The offering's net proceeds will be used primarily to fund Royal's first helium-targeted exploration drilling at its 100%-owned Climax helium project in southwestern Saskatchewan.

    Currently, Royal Helium is trading at EUR 0.26 in Frankfurt. Due to the positive news flow of the past weeks, the share has moved significantly away from its lows at EUR 0.16. In addition, a significant increase in volume is also noticeable in Germany. The Cormark Securities analysts gave a target price of CAD 0.80, equivalent to EUR 0.51, although this was before the capital injection.

    New plant and cooperation

    The news agency Reuters reports, BYD is planning a new factory for electric vehicle batteries with an annual production capacity of 20 GWh in the city of Bengbu in the eastern Chinese province of Anhui. The total investment is expected to be around EUR 750 million. The Warren Buffet-backed group already owns three battery plants at its headquarters in Shenzhen, Qinghai, and Guangdong.

    To increase its brand awareness in Japan, the "build your dreams" Company also announced an unusual cooperation. Shortly before Christmas, a partnership with the Japanese baseball team Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters was established. The baseball team plans to open the Hokkaido Ballpark F Village in 2023. For this, BYD will provide zero-emission products such as electric buses, forklifts, etc. The park is expected to cover an area of more than 32 hectares.

    Launch in Europe

    Competitor Xpeng also has ambitious expansion plans. So the Chinese started their European strategy with the most important electric car country, Norway. 100 units of the SUV G3 were handed over to Scandinavia. The expansion is to extend to the whole of Europe gradually. Xpeng is currently exploring opportunities in other mature electric car markets with government support, modern infrastructure, and a lot of interest in electric vehicles.

    After weeks of chasing records, equities, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies are taking a breather, at least in the short term, ahead of today's decision by the US Federal Reserve. The current key interest rate decision and, above all, the Fed's quarterly projections on economic development, interest rates, and inflation will likely continue to shape events afterwards. The pause will likely be short-lived if positive signals regarding earlier than planned interest rate cuts are announced.

    Despite all the various challenges in today's world, such as geopolitical tensions or inflation, the stock market indices have managed to climb upwards. Investors are faced with a crucial question: Where is the hidden value in a market that has already broken many records? The answer could lie in those stocks that have so far stood on the sidelines of the great rally - the silent but potentially strong performers waiting for their rebound. This strategy shifts the focus away from the usual suspects who have already posted substantial gains to stocks that are ready to initiate their own rebound, potentially unlocking significant value for patient investors in the process. We have identified three such candidates.

    How will the energy transition in Europe really unfold? Hydrogen is a tricky matter. The raw material is considered an alternative building block for a green future and, according to experts, could become one of the most important energy sources in the coming decades. Nevertheless, there is a lack of green energy sources for its environmentally friendly production. Even under the best conditions, producing electricity from green hydrogen still costs around twice as much as from oil, coal or natural gas. Since 2022, consumers have had to cope with cost increases of over 50% in energy and are unlikely to be able to use hydrogen in a meaningful way. The necessary decisions for economic implementation, therefore, lie with politicians. H2 shares have lost around 85% in the last 24 months. In addition to a technical rebound in hydrogen, investors should also take a closer look at the technical gas helium.
