Some companies were under extreme pressure during the crisis and lost a good 2/3 of their share price. Today, it is essential to assess whether the business models can recover quickly after the crisis or whether the adjustment path could be a bit slower. Following the latest interest rate hikes, also in Europe, the economic environment could cloud over for the time being. That is because higher interest rates also make financing much more difficult. We look at a selection of potential "turbo stocks" that should immediately be back on investors' lists if momentum picks up.

    BYD - The high-flyer outperforms Tesla

    In China, BYD has long since left Tesla behind because it operates in a much more moderate price segment. A much bigger competitor will emerge in the next few years in the form of VW, which offers much cheaper entry-level models for the Chinese market.

    The performance of the BYD stock is impressive against the backdrop of ever-increasing vehicle sales, thanks to good vertical integration. In recent months, however, Tesla's stock has been down 25%, while BYD has continued to climb, reaching a new all-time high of EUR 41.85 in July 2022.

    There is now further expansion news for Japan after making the leap into Europe with Norway in 2022. BYD will begin selling battery-powered electric cars in Japan next year, it was revealed at a brand conference in Tokyo. Early next year, BYD will begin selling a small, all-electric battery car called the ATTO 3, followed by two more EV models. BYD stock is consolidating a bit in the EUR 35 area right now, but with a stop at EUR 32.50, investors can still sleep easy.

    Tocvan Ventures - In search of cheap goldfields

    Tocvan Ventures is an opportunistic exploration company from Canada with two significant gold projects in Mexico. Yesterday, the gold price dropped below the USD 1,700 mark, making the venture approach even more attractive. That is because Tocvan was founded to take advantage of the ongoing downturn in the junior mining exploration sector by having management identify and develop interesting properties, including historical ones. Thus, it is not the current spot price that matters but rather the expectation through 2025 and beyond.

    Tocvan has approximately 36 million shares outstanding and currently has a 100% interest in two properties in Sonora, Mexico, namely the Pilar and El Picacho projects. Both are gold and silver deposits. Yesterday there was important news - following the completion of the latest phase of drilling, seven holes totaling 1,382 meters were drilled. Drilling focused on step-out targets along the 4-T Zone and a newly discovered trend between the Main Zone and the 4-T Area. Initial metallurgical results were obtained from column leach tests, suitable for determining potential gold recovery in various project areas. During a 30-day test period, all four samples returned astonishing gold recoveries above 85%. The grades of the ore samples ranged from 0.4 to 5.0 g/t AU, and the measured gold recovery ranged from 85 to 96%.

    "These initial results are encouraging and indicate that gold recovery from oxide material at Pilar has the potential to be relatively high," said CEO Brodie Sutherland. "We are currently working to validate these results in a certified laboratory." The next round of drilling here could yield further promising results fairly quickly. Soon, the price of gold should also reflect the economic truths of demonetization and unchecked debt growth. The two Tocvan projects are, therefore, very promising. The jurisdiction in Mexico is known to be excellent for young explorers. The Tocvan story should still offer a lot of surprise potential. Speculatively worth buying!

    Nel ASA versus Plug Power - Who has more steam in the boiler?

    In these volatile days, it makes sense to take a closer look at the beaten-up growth protagonists. Nel ASA and Plug Power are two excellently positioned companies when it comes to covering the future market of hydrogen. They are the central focus of the European and US climate debate and their extensive subsidies.

    Nel ASA recently landed the largest order in the Company's history. For the share, this meant a chart-technical liberation blow! Since the announcement of the 200-megawatt order at the beginning of the week, the stock has gained over 20% in value. Above all, this should shock short sellers, who had been betting on a further sell-off. According to Finanstilsynet, about 5.4% of all outstanding Nel shares are sold short. From a chart perspective, the hydrogen stock is now sending extremely positive signals above EUR 1.55, and the 200-day line has also been clearly broken from the bottom to the top. The share is not cheap, but the momentum is right again and is attracting follow-on purchases. It is getting tight for the shorties.

    Plug Power's share price performance is similar, up 10% in a week, but here the fundamental outlook has deteriorated somewhat due to political uncertainties, as it is suddenly uncertain whether parts of the US government will support Biden's historic environmental package. The billions in investment were to be used to sustainably subsidize the fight against climate change while pushing through tax increases for corporations and wealthy individuals. However, the forward momentum of the environmental authorities was recently thwarted by the Prime Court, and Republicans are also railing against rising taxes. But Plug Power's stock should be able to shrug this off in a good stock market environment. Pay attention to the momentum and set a tight stop at EUR 16.50. In a direct comparison, Nel ASA currently looks better, but fundamentally it is valued twice as high as Plug Power.


    The current volatile environment remains the setup for the coming weeks. Growth stocks are always on the buy list in the short term. Nevertheless, the bear market is probably not over yet. BYD is already almost a standard stock. Nel and Plug Power are the clear H2 top dogs. Tocvan Ventures is betting on a recovery of the gold price and a shining future in Mexico.

    HelloFresh, First Hydrogen, Amazon: Growth in the Courier, Express, and Parcel industry

    The courier, express, and parcel industry (CEP) is a true growth engine. CEP companies currently employ almost 260,000 people, more than 50% more than ten years ago. Consumers worldwide are increasingly opting for direct deliveries to their homes, whether for food or retail orders. The food company HelloFresh is benefiting from this. The figures from the first quarter of 2024 impress analysts and investors alike. Increasing delivery traffic in cities needs new solutions. This is where First Hydrogen comes into play. The Company focuses on hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles for urban deliveries. The advantage of First Hydrogen's vans is their unbeatable range of over 600 km with just a single refueling. Amazon is also scaling up its food delivery services. In the US, they are enticing Prime subscribers to take advantage of delivery benefits for groceries. This is not at all popular in Europe and violates many consumer laws. We provide the details.

    Greece's capital, Athens, has been struggling with extreme air pollution caused by dense Saharan dust since Wednesday. The red mineral dust causes severe lung problems and has led to numerous emergency admissions in the metropolis. Three companies are currently providing a breath of fresh air on the stock markets. The Canadian company dynaCERT focuses on clean air through patented electrolyser technology that reduces pollutant emissions in the booming logistics sector. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex is also causing a stir among analysts. The Hamburg-based company impresses with full order books and good figures. A court in New York will now decide retrospectively whether CEO Andy Marsh's words regarding the operational business at Plug Power are just hot air or have real substance.

    Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW

    • Technology
    • hightech
    • Automotive
    • Electromobility

    The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.
