After the DAX reached a new all-time high, the signs are pointing towards a correction due to the ongoing lack of agreement regarding the debt ceiling in the US. The ongoing consolidation phase offers an opportunity to further optimize one's portfolio, especially with selected individual stocks. In the area of critical raw materials for the energy turnaround, disproportionate price gains await in the long term after the price losses of the past months.

    JinkoSolar - A lot of movement

    One of the world's largest solar product manufacturers is currently a hive of activity. JinkoSolar is building a vertically integrated value chain of solar energy products, from silicon ingots, wafers and cells to solar modules.

    In the process, Chinese subsidiary Jiangxi Jinko, in which JinkoSolar holds a 58.62% stake, announced that it plans to divest its 100% stake in Xinjiang Jinko. The sale of the stake is expected to reduce operating costs, increase production efficiency and optimize the plant mix. The sale of JinkoSolar's unit is to be made to Ziyang Major Industry Equity Investment Fund, which is backed by authorities in the southwestern province of Sichuan, and Dong Shihong, Chairman of Suzhou Shijing Environmental Technology Co Ltd but is subject to antitrust review. The sale price is USD 622.10 million.

    On the investment side, a massive investment plan of USD 8 billion has been set for Jiangxi Jinko, the main operating subsidiary of JinkoSolar. For example, an investment framework agreement was signed with the Management Committee of the Transformation Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone to build a 56 GW complex to produce monocrystalline silicon ingots, silicon wafers, high-efficiency solar cells and modules.

    JinkoSolar has a market capitalization of USD 2.34 billion with a share price of USD 46.13. The majority of analysts at Reuters see a median price target of USD 68.05.

    Power Nickel - Clear appreciation of the project

    Powerful movements are also taking place at the up-and-coming nickel exploration company Power Nickel at its NISK project, located in the southern area of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory in Quebec, where numerous mining projects with ever-improving infrastructure have settled. The Canadians, who are expected to benefit disproportionately from the transformation of the transport sector in the coming years, have an option agreement to acquire up to 80% of the project, which has already proven high-grade mineralization of nickel, but also copper, cobalt, palladium and platinum. From an ESG perspective, NISK is considered a flagship project and, according to the experienced management, aims to be the world's first carbon-neutral nickel mine during the exploration process.

    Following the recently announced final drill results from the autumn program and initial results from the 2023 winter programme, power Nickel has been able to confirm further occurrences of high-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralization in the main NISK zone. In addition, approximately 800m east of the Main Zone, another Ni-Cu-Co-PGE zone has been identified within the same rock sequence.

    A new high-grade copper-platinum mineralized zone has now been discovered around 5 km northeast of its primary NISK deposit. This is all the more significant as the high-grade platinum and palladium originated from the underlying ultramafic unit and has been remobilized into the tonalite unit in which the mineralization lies. As the mineralization is remobilized, there is potential for discovery in a wider target area near the ultramafic host rock.

    "Power Nickel recently conducted an airborne EM survey over this 5.5 km section, and preliminary review of the data revealed several promising signals that warrant further exploration and possibly drilling in our fully funded programs in the third and fourth quarters of 2023, which will commence towards the end of July," CEO Terry Lynch announced.

    The news flow is expected to continue in the coming weeks. In the second quarter, for example, the terms for the spin-off of non-core assets into a separate company will be announced, which should once again provide additional share-price fantasy. In addition, the airborne EM survey and metallurgical study are expected to be released by the end of June. The 15,000 m drilling program is scheduled to commence in the third quarter. At that time, management says it also expects to update National Instrument 43-101, Canada's main resource assessment guideline. A pre-feasibility study is then expected to follow in the first half of 2024.

    Power Nickel has a market capitalization of CAD 29.48 million and is trading at CAD 0.24 after a consolidation.

    CTS Eventim - Exploding profits

    The concert promoter, which was still suffering from the Corona pandemic a year ago, was able to present the end of the lockdown in black and white in its figures for the first quarter of 2023. The bottom line was a fourfold increase in profits to EUR 43.7 million. Group turnover rose to around EUR 366 million in the reporting period, compared to EUR 139 million a year earlier. In the first quarter of 2019, the last year before the pandemic, revenues amounted to EUR 282.7 million. In 2023, internet ticket sales so far stood at 18 million tickets, a significant growth of 58% year-on-year.

    What caused disgruntlement among investors was that despite the outstanding opening quarter, management is sticking to its full-year forecasts, which are expected to be roughly the same as last year. Earnings, on the other hand, are expected to "rise significantly" if the handsome Corona subsidies are excluded. The share price fell by around 4% to EUR 62.75. After the announcement of the figures, the analysts of Baader Bank repeated their target price of EUR 67 and reiterated their "add" rating.


    Concert promoter CTS Eventim quadrupled its profit in the first quarter. In contrast, JinkoSolar is investing in the future with an 8 billion strong investment plan. Power Nickel reported excellent drilling results and, according to management, is considered undervalued in the peer group.

    Attention: Uranium despite the energy transition! Does this fit together? Plug Power, Nel ASA, Kraken Energy and Renk Group in focus

    It feels like a paradox. The EU aims to be largely climate-neutral by 2050. The main focus is on mobility, heat and energy generation. As a core country of the EU, Germany is taking the political lead in the necessary measures. While France, Poland, Finland and the Czech Republic are actively expanding nuclear energy, this form of energy is virtually taboo in many other countries. Germany has been able to increase its renewable energy sources to over 50% with billions in subsidies at the expense of the taxpayer and the price of energy. Yet, Berlin still has to buy cheap electricity from abroad and also use coal and gas to stabilize the grid. It all sounds kind of crazy, but it gets really interesting when the wind isn't blowing and the sun is only to be found behind the clouds. Which shares should be considered in this mixed situation?

    Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Bayer AG - Arming up for defense with these stocks

    • Mining
    • Tungsten
    • armaments
    • Pharma

    The European Union is providing the defense group Rheinmetall with a total of EUR 130 million for ammunition production. The German company is one of six EU projects that are being funded in a special program to stockpile enough artillery pieces and secure supply chains. Here, Almonty Industries comes into play. Almonty specializes in the exploration, extraction and production of tungsten in two European countries, including Spain and Portugal. Tungsten is used in particular for ammunition. Almonty Industries also operates five mining projects, one of which is the largest tungsten project in South Korea. The increasing demand for the critical metal will soon cause the price of tungsten to skyrocket, as defense is becoming increasingly important for the countries and continents involved in the face of geopolitical tensions worldwide. Defense is also a topic at Bayer. The cancer drug Nubeqa supports the body's immune system in the fight against prostate cancer. Following the recent pipeline flop with Asundexian, the drug has great blockbuster potential and could bring billions of euros into the Company's coffers. Read more about why this is so important for Bayer at the moment.

    Shares in Focus: TUI, Rheinmetall, and Defense Metals with good reasons for price increases

    • Mining
    • RareEarths
    • armaments
    • travel

    The TUI share was one of the top performers on the German stock market yesterday. The EUR 7 mark was exceeded, making things exciting on the chart. Analysts expect significantly higher prices for the tourism group. Rheinmetall shares are among the top performers of the year. An end to the price increase is not in sight. The armaments group has announced a new order worth billions. The manufacture of armaments, aircraft, cruise ships and numerous other high-tech products would not be possible without rare earths. However, most of these come from China and Russia. This makes the Defense Metals share interesting. The Company is making great strides with its rare earths project in Canada. The share should also benefit from this progress.
