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.

    The winds across global equity markets have grown noticeably stronger, bringing sharp moves in both directions. Technology and automotive giants that have long been accustomed to success are feeling the full force of this turbulence. Faced with declining share prices and geopolitical uncertainty, investors are increasingly looking beyond the mainstream for fresh opportunities. While companies such as SAP and BYD are fighting to defend their lofty valuations, intriguing second-tier players are quietly positioning themselves for growth. This raises a legitimate question: should investors allocate capital into "fallen angels" such as SAP and BYD, or focus on lesser-known growth stories with potentially greater upside? We examine the current market environment and take a closer look at three very different companies. Discover why software heavyweight SAP and electric vehicle pioneer BYD are facing challenges, and why Canadian agtech company MustGrow Biologics could be approaching a breakout. One thing is certain: the stage is set for an exciting summer in the markets.

    The stock market is currently producing stories as different as one could possibly imagine. On one hand, we are witnessing impressive rallies—especially in the AI sector and among AI-related stocks—as well as historic milestones at established German blue-chip companies such as Allianz. Record profits and full order books are pushing share prices to levels unimaginable just a few years ago. On the other hand, smaller technology companies are stepping into the spotlight, aiming to revolutionize entire industries with fresh ideas and smart partnerships. Today, we take a detailed look at this fascinating mix. We examine the rapid resurgence of a true energy heavyweight from Germany: Siemens Energy. We analyze the historic breakout of a Munich-based insurance giant: Allianz. And we highlight a Canadian materials specialist whose stock is approaching a decisive technical level and comes with highly intriguing news flow: HPQ Silicon. Take a moment to explore three completely different investment ideas, each carrying its own potential for excitement—and possibly gains—in your portfolio.

    DIVIDENDS WITH SUBSTANCE: INTESA SANPAOLO, DWS GROUP, AND RE ROYALTIES UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

    Dividend stocks have a decisive advantage in turbulent market conditions: They do not just promise dividends—they actually pay them. Investors who receive regular dividends are less reliant on perfectly timing their entry and exit points. The ongoing income cushions price fluctuations and provides predictability. But not every high dividend is a good dividend. What matters most is the sustainability of the payout. Ideally, a company combines both—an attractive yield and the fundamentals to sustain it over the long term. That is exactly what the major Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo, the German asset manager DWS Group, and the Canadian renewable energy specialist RE Royalties offer. Three stocks, three risk profiles—and in each case, good reasons to take a closer look.
