    Omicron displaces worries

    BP's stock is trading briskly on Tradegate today, gaining 1.70% to EUR 4.52, moving well away from the December 2021 low of below EUR 3.80. The European competitor Shell can record a price increase of 1.43% to EUR 21.56 and is also traded briskly. Within one month, the value of the share has risen by over EUR 3.00. The Corona pandemic seems to have lost its fright with the Omicron variant.

    Experts recommend share as a buy

    The share of the Canadian producer Saturn Oil & Gas was able to record a phased price increase of over 30% in the past four weeks. The share increased from a low of EUR 1.99 to a peak of EUR 2.70. Currently, the company's share price is unchanged from the previous day at EUR 2.50. Saturn was able to generate EBITDA of CAD 17.2 million in Q3 2021 with revenues of CAD 48.5 million. The company's market capitalization is around CAD 88 million at the current price of CAD 3.49. The analysts at GBC Research recently gave a price target of CAD 12.17 and the experts at Beacon Securities see the value at CAD 10.15 - both agree on the rating: BUY.

    Plug Power share price explodes! Golden times ahead for Siemens Energy and F3 Uranium?

    The saying "those declared dead live longer" applies to the stock market - and seemingly to Plug Power. The hydrogen stock rose by almost 50% in the first few days of trading, although it has recently struggled to maintain this level. Is this the breakthrough, or is it going down again? Siemens Energy and F3 Uranium could be on the verge of golden times. Both are benefiting from the boom in data centres. In the past few days alone, billion-dollar investments have been announced in the US. To supply energy to the data centres for artificial intelligence, grids and nuclear power plants are needed. However, analyst sentiment is weighing on the price of Siemens Energy. In contrast, F3 Uranium appears ripe for a breakout from the sideways movement, with the potential for its stock to double.

    Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, RWE - How three energy giants are redefining the future of global energy supply

    Only a few days remain until January 20, 2025. The day the new US president will be sworn in and can push ahead with another energy turnaround. In North America, energy companies like Saturn Oil & Gas are expanding, and their products are driving the economy. With its blueprint strategy, Saturn ensures continuous value creation and is investing around CAD 320 million in further oil drilling projects for 2025. The clear financial strategy also provides more flexibility for the coming year. In Europe, the shift toward renewable energies continues. Nel ASA boasts full order books thanks to demand from Asia, but analysts remain cautious given the lack of hydrogen supply infrastructure in Europe. However, the new EU supply chain law could reshape the market conditions in favour of Nel ASA, as initial threats from Qatar indicate. As a global player, RWE continues to do business where it is most lucrative. The Company has achieved a milestone in the US, and in Italy, RWE is bringing a fresh breeze to the energy sector. Where investors should act now.

    Myriad Uranium - Uranium prices are exploding! What is the outlook for Nel ASA and RWE?

    Uranium is increasingly coming into focus. Recently, the largest uranium producers, Kazatomprom and Cameco, revised their production forecasts downward, and this at a time when the world needs more energy. Data centres for quantum computing, crypto mining, artificial intelligence, and electromobility are driving the world's hunger for electricity. At the same time, some large tech companies are researching modular nuclear reactors, which could further boost the demand for uranium. While the uranium sector is performing well, 2024 has been a tough year for hydrogen and renewable energies. We look at one company from each sector and examine the prospects for 2025.
