Since Saturday, when Joe Biden was declared the 46th President of the United States of America and then on Monday afternoon with BioNTech and Pfizer announcing the positive results of the Corona vaccine tests, we seem to be living in a restored world again, at least in the stock market. The technology stocks that excited during the crisis, which benefited from digitalization and e-commerce, plummeted. By contrast, cyclical stocks from the old economy, which were boring for many, boomed again. Oil stocks also celebrated an astonishing comeback. The trend of regrouping is likely to continue.

    Huge step

    For the management of the Canadian oil exploration Company, Saturn Oil & Gas, last Friday was both Easter and Christmas. With Jean-Pierre Colin's commitment to join the Canadian oil exploration Company as a senior strategy consultant, the goal of becoming an innovation leader in the oil and gas industry is becoming increasingly apparent.

    40 years of concentrated experience

    The newcomer has an impressive and almost endless track record. Among other things, Colin has advised several senior politicians in the federal government and Privy Council of Canada, and five acquisitions by Petro-Canada of the country's largest oil and gas companies in the 1980s. Also, the strategist served on the boards of many successful junior commodities companies, including Pelangio Mines Inc. and Virginia Gold Inc., which sold its Eleonor project for more than $1 billion to Goldcorp Inc., now known as Newmont Corporation.

    Strong focus on acquisitions

    As stated in a press release, Colin commented: "Saturn Oil & Gas represents a unique opportunity to build an oil & gas acquisition vehicle that can provide accretive growth and returns for its shareholders and other key stakeholders." The goal of successfully making acquisitions has long been pursued by the experienced Canadian CEO, John Jeffrey. His maxim is to make acquisitions rather than develop his own drilling programs.

    Share close to breakout

    For Saturn Oil & Gas It is probably only a matter of time before the first reports of success in terms of financing or new acquisitions are received. At the moment, the paper is struggling with the CAD 0.12 mark. The trading volume has been surprisingly high in the last few days with rising prices. A short squeeze would therefore come as no surprise.

    High rating despite a rally

    Tesla's Chinese competitor continued to receive a buy rating from analyst firm, Daiwa. The price target was raised significantly from HKD 150 to HKD 250. The reason for the continued bullish mood among experts is the sharply increased profit forecasts for the fourth quarter. The new flagship Company, Han, in particular, is likely to sell like hot cakes. The analysts also expect significant sales in 2021. At the moment there are 40,000 orders for the Han. For the last two months of 2020, being November and December, 10,000 orders for each month are expected for the new flagship.

    Better than expected

    Although the fuel manufacturer Plug Power disappointed investors and analysts with its loss, the Company was able to impress in terms of sales and outlook. With a loss of USD 0.11, the Company fell short of analysts' forecasts. The analysts bet on a loss of only minus USD 0.07. In contrast, sales were significantly better than expected at USD 125.6 million. The forecast here was only USD 106.5 million.

    Outlook and "Green Deal"

    Plug Power remains optimistic that it will be able to achieve its medium-term goals. The sales target for 2024 is USD 1.2 billion, followed by an operating profit of around USD 200 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of over 20%. With the green deal announced by the new US president, these forecasts appear to be quite realistic.

    Gold Mining Stocks: Time to Buy? Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold in Focus

    Should you buy gold mining stocks now? Gold expert Markus Bußler sees the recent pullback as an attractive entry opportunity. After a rally of about 50%, the GDX mining ETF had fallen about 18% from its high. This has brought it back into the technical buy zone between approximately USD 84 and USD 88. At these levels, the expert believes the risk-reward ratio once again favours buying. A similar technical setup had already led him to a positive assessment in July. The market subsequently posted strong gains. The current negative sentiment therefore does not deter him. Stocks such as Barrick Mining, B2Gold and Desert Gold could benefit from this development.

    Gold remains one of the big winners in the commodities markets. High prices not only boost producers' profits but also increase the value of undeveloped deposits. Deposits that previously received little attention can suddenly become economically attractive. Consequently, mining companies are once again investing heavily in exploration. In this context, it is increasingly important to identify companies that can expand their resources, discover new deposits, and bring additional ounces into production as cost-effectively as possible.

    thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources, Salzgitter – Steel Stocks That Could Benefit from the Industry's Transformation

    Europe's steel industry is currently transforming. Since July 1, the EU has been protecting its steel market with a duty-free quota of 18.345 million metric tonnes and a 50% tariff on all imports exceeding that amount. Starting October 1, importers must also provide proof of where they smelted and cast their steel. This gives manufacturers breathing room to replace blast furnaces with direct reduction plants. However, these plants require high-grade iron ore of the appropriate quality. For those who view steel, raw materials, and restructuring as a unified whole, the new situation could work in their favour. We are therefore taking a closer look at thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources and Salzgitter.
