    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.

    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.

    From ore to energy: How BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Siemens Energy are benefiting from the energy transition

    The global energy transition is not only sparking hope but also a race for scarce raw materials. Nickel, cobalt, copper, lithium, and rare earths are becoming the backbone of batteries and wind turbines, while geopolitical tensions over supply chains are driving up prices. Those who position themselves in time could benefit from the redistribution of global power. This is particularly exciting for companies that either secure access to these resources, develop technologies for their use, or play a decisive role in the value chain, such as BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Siemens Energy.

    Massive UNDERVALUATION?! Bayer, SFC Energy, Veganz Group

    Massive undervaluation of Veganz shares? The transformation from a vegan food supplier to a foodtech company is increasingly taking shape. The first shipment of oat milk, produced using a revolutionary process, is about to be delivered to the US, and analysts see EUR 160 million in revenue potential. The real question is: When will the target price and the share price rise? Bayer shares have risen surprisingly strongly this year. Investors have largely ignored problem areas. But now a rating agency is pointing out the weaknesses, and analysts remain cautious. Investors were bullish on SFC Energy. Then came the forecast adjustment, and the share price plummeted. Now, a multi-million euro order is helping to stabilize the situation.

    Electrification is driving an unprecedented demand for raw materials. Lithium, cobalt, and rare earths are the new oil - essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and our climate-neutral future. But global dependencies and trade conflicts threaten to disrupt supply chains. Those who secure strategic supplies will dominate the transition.
