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.

    Plug Power, Carbon Done Right, BASF: Raising capital, climate protection projects, and cost optimization for returns

    The energy sector is undergoing radical change, with far-reaching consequences for companies across various sectors. The hydrogen specialist Plug Power is struggling with financial bottlenecks despite state subsidies and has to carry out a capital increase on unfavourable terms. The sustainability company Carbon Done Right reports initial successes with its reforestation project in Sierra Leone. The Canadians are thus further establishing themselves in the growing market for CO₂ certificates. The chemical and agricultural company BASF is responding to the changing conditions in Germany by closing plants. The energy transition requires not only technological innovations but also new business models and flexible adaptation strategies. Which of the three companies will win the race this time?

    Varta is undergoing a complete restructuring and reorganization, likely leaving legacy shareholders empty-handed. The back and forth since 2023 has given the German SME sector an increasingly unsettling look. The environment is challenging, and only the strongest will survive the looming storm. Traces of Habeck's poor planning can also be seen in the energy transition. Instead of fully utilizing renewable energies, six new gas-fired power plants are now being planned, which will, of course, be powered by hydrogen. This draws investors' attention back to battery storage systems, as they are needed to successfully store surplus energy. Where do the opportunities lie for resourceful investors?

    Germany is not the only country working to develop a sustainable hydrogen market. Economics Minister Robert Habeck recently announced funding for projects totalling EUR 4.6 billion to make the economy climate-neutral. Green hydrogen is set to be a key energy source in the future. The German government projects a hydrogen demand of 95 to 130 TWh annually by 2030 to support industrial decarbonization. This development is not currently reflected in listed companies, which may open up new investment opportunities in the long term.
