    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.

    Top performers for 2026 wanted! Siemens Energy, Globex Mining, JinkoSolar, and Nordex in focus

    The 2025 investment year is nearing its end, with gains of just under 20% in both the DAX 40 and NASDAQ 100 indices. These two benchmarks remain the focus of attention for European investors, as they represent the benchmark for portfolios in their respective areas. Asset managers did not have an easy time of it until the middle of the year, as they had to switch back to "normal mode" very quickly after Trump's tariff correction in April, despite all the uncertainties. This meant bringing their clients' portfolios back into "risk-on" mode, which is very nerve-wracking in the current environment. Excessive government debt, never-ending geopolitical conflicts, and creeping inflation are leading to higher interest rates, which are considered poison for growth-oriented equity investments. Where can money be made in 2026? With today's selection, we attempt to navigate our way forward through the fog.

    Batteries are currently the number one topic of conversation. Driven by electromobility and the expansion of renewable energy, demand for high-performance storage systems is skyrocketing. But this enormous growth also has its downsides, as raw material shortages and unstable grids could slow the boom down. Three players are strategically positioning themselves in this field of tension between enormous opportunity and existential challenge: electric vehicle pioneer BYD, raw material explorer Graphano Energy, and energy integrator E.ON.

    "Green" is no longer a mark of quality on the stock market, but rather a minimum requirement. However, those who mindlessly invest in anything with a solar panel or wind turbine in its logo will often have learned a costly lesson by 2025. The sector is becoming more differentiated: on the one hand, the industrial heavyweights are struggling with price wars and supply chains. On the other hand, specialized financiers are emerging who are closing precisely these gaps and often operating more profitably than the manufacturers themselves. Anyone seeking real returns must now make a clear selection: between mass-market players, turnaround candidates, and intelligent niche specialists.
