    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.

    War on the horizon, cold winter, and unresolved energy issues! CHAR Technologies has the answers

    Despite all the geopolitical uncertainties, the capital markets are experiencing the largest and most powerful commodity rally of all time. This is driving up input costs for industry, further fueling already stubborn inflation. The fact that tariffs, wage increases, and high resource prices are affecting store shelves also implies significantly higher interest rates in the near future. Investors should consider alternatives and, especially for highly valued stocks, set tight stop-loss limits. However, with regard to unresolved energy issues, there are innovative solutions that can even be purchased on the stock market. Cleantech specialist CHAR Technologies has an interesting business model that makes sense in all weather conditions. A closer look reveals good medium-term prospects.

This boom is driving demand for high-performance batteries and essential raw materials such as graphite to unprecedented heights. Anyone who wants to identify the structural winners of this megatrend should keep an eye on three key players: e-mobility pioneer BYD, raw materials specialist Graphano Energy, and chip giant Intel.

    Flight to substance: How Chevron, Hapag-Lloyd, and RE Royalties are weatherproofing portfolios

    Many investors are currently experiencing a vague sense of unease when they look at their portfolios. On paper, the returns of recent years look fantastic, driven by an unprecedented boom in artificial intelligence (AI). But when taking a closer look, one can see the cluster risk: The MSCI World, once synonymous with broad diversification, is now effectively a technology fund. Giants such as NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft dominate the indices to such an extent that a correction in the tech sector would drag down the entire portfolio. In this phase of market saturation, with valuations running high and global politics seeming more unpredictable than ever, investors are returning to an old virtue: cash flow. Dividend stocks are back in vogue – not as a boring addition, but as an indispensable anchor. We analyse three companies that promise stability in this environment: the indestructible energy giant Chevron, the logistics group Hapag-Lloyd, and the Canadian energy specialist RE Royalties, which has established a particularly smart model.
