The Corona Pandemic has changed society and the economy in recent months. Topics such as social distancing did not exist in this extreme way before and has, for example, turned the travel industry upside down. As a result of government rescue measures, airlines and travel companies had to be provided with liquidity so that the systemically important corporations did not slip into insolvency through no fault of their own and much larger and more uncontrollable losses were caused by a domino effect. But a lot has also happened in the technology sector and there are exciting developments that can be lucrative for investors.

    Partnership in the fight against climate change

    The Canadian technology company dynaCERT has brought an innovation to the market that makes existing diesel engines more environmentally friendly. The technology uses hydrogen as a catalyst and can therefore reduce the emission of pollutants. In addition, fuel consumption is reduced and, in addition to environmental protection, an economic advantage is created.

    dynaCERT recently announced that the company's HydraGEN (TM) units will now also participate in the United Nations program called "United 4 Smart Sustainable Cities". This means that dynaCERT is now an official partner of the United Nations in the fight against climate change in cities around the globe. Some 200 cities around the world have already joined the program, including capitals in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and North and South America. This partnership offers the company enormous sales and profit potential. The analysts of GBC see a price potential for the share of EUR 2.20.

    Setback due to travel warnings

    The German TUI Group clearly felt the effects of the travel restrictions and is therefore eligible to participate in the so-called Corona Shield of the German government. The largest aid package of the Federal Republic of Germany enables payments to be made via the state-owned Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW). In the second quarter of 2020 TUI has already received a payment of EUR 1.8 billion. Due to the ongoing precautionary measures the travel industry is still severely restricted and TUI requires a further credit line of EUR 1.05 billion from KfW.

    Against the background that the number of Covid-19 infections is on the rise again in many holiday regions, the industry is still far from normal travel behaviour. The travel warning issued by the German Foreign Office for Spain was a severe setback for the industry, as destinations such as Mallorca are among the most popular holiday destinations.

    Competence and growth

    The shares of battery manufacturer Varta can benefit from the trends of cordless headphones and the electrification of mobility. The business with lithium-ion cells is booming and the company was recently able to adjust its expectations for the current fiscal year upwards. Sales are expected to increase by up to 129% year-on-year to EUR 810 to 830 million, exceeding the previous estimate of up to EUR 800 million.

    With a market share of over 50% in rechargeable batteries for headphones, Varta's competence is undisputed and this market is extremely interesting due to its annual growth of up to 40%. Varta has received EUR 300 million from the German government for research and development and the first industrial application of next generation lithium ion cells. The analyst von Berenberg has raised the target price of the share from EUR 120.00 to EUR 140.00 and left the rating at 'buy'.

    Is the Gold Price Falling? Buy the Dip! Why Barrick Mining, Desert Gold Ventures, and Agnico Eagle Mines Now Offer Attractive Entry Points

    Following the recent decline in the gold price, alarm bells are ringing for many investors. But those who look closely will recognize a familiar market dynamic. Every overheated rally is typically followed by a healthy consolidation phase. It is precisely this correction that may create a rare window of opportunity for strategically positioned investors, as the precious metal's fundamental upward momentum remains intact thanks to expectations of interest rate cuts and central bank purchases. Those willing to take a contrarian view at this stage could benefit disproportionately from the next recovery phase. Three industry players with different strategic profiles illustrate how current uncertainty can be transformed into potential returns: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle.

    As the gold price continues to consolidate, this gold gem may present the investment opportunity of the year. Lahontan Gold is aiming to make history in the coming months by advancing toward gold production in Nevada. In its latest investor presentation, management confirmed that preparations for mine construction remain fully on track. In addition, a new resource estimate is expected to be released in the coming weeks. If projections from major banks such as Goldman Sachs are correct, the gold price could soon regain upward momentum, with some forecasts suggesting levels above USD 5,000 by the end of 2026. This is being driven in part by stronger-than-expected central bank gold purchases. With potential production costs of around USD 1,200 per ounce, Lahontan Gold could benefit significantly. At current levels, the stock still appears attractively valued.

    Takeover Candidates for 2026! The Life Sciences Sector Is Heating Up: Evotec, BioNxt Solutions, BioNTech, and Formycon in Focus!

    In recent months, the stock market has focused primarily on high-tech and defence stocks. While this strategy may have worked well for investors in the short term, it has also pushed several life sciences stocks to levels that some consider overly depressed. The Hamburg-based drug discovery company Evotec has lost around 75% of its market value over the past three years, with similar declines seen at BioNTech, Formycon, and BioNxt Solutions. Yet some pipelines are indeed valuable and backed by years of research. For a buyer with deep pockets, this could represent an attractive opportunity, as much of the costly early-stage work has already been completed. We are looking at a sector that has been unjustly forgotten. Where do opportunities lie for risk-conscious investors?
