    FREENET AG - Differences in self-perception and external perception

    Anyone who bought shares in Freenet AG 1, 3 or 5 years ago is in the red. This fact is even more surprising, as the overall market performed much better. Mobile communications are the core business of the northern Germans. Since 2016, when the underperformance of the share started, the Group began to build up the second pillar, TV and media. Home entertainment (music and video offerings) and smart home applications are part of this.

    According to its self-image, the Group is establishing itself as a "digital lifestyle provider" by combining the two business areas. Even if a multi-brand strategy (discount to premium) addresses the large customer group of 13 million in a differentiated manner, the question arises about how profitably the Company can manage the second pillar given the strong global providers (especially streaming providers).

    On the plus side, the Company has significantly reduced its debt in recent months. The recently presented figures for the past fiscal year did not contain any major surprises. But many analysts do not see real growth in 2021 but rather a further decline in profits. Freenet sees things differently and wants to pay a dividend of EUR 1.50 per share and buy back its shares. The Freenet share is an example of how a well-sounding field of activity, such as that of a "digital lifestyle provider," does not necessarily produce happy shareholders.

    REVEZ CORPORATION LTD - IP = DNA

    The Singaporean Company was founded in 2010 and has since been at home in the areas of IP (intellectual property), innovations and the establishment of various brands. The holding Company sees itself as a "hub" where innovative concepts and solutions are created to lead to implementing a strategy superior to the competition.

    Thus, the core of the Company's philosophy is to focus on IP. Intellectual Property, which includes industrial property rights such as patents, utility models, trademarks, design rights, copyrights, etc., is synonymous with corporate DNA. The Group operates in the market with four brands, which are independent but generate synergies in the "hub".

    The Singaporeans are active in many innovative business areas, including multimedia, information and communication technology, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and cyber security. With a stock market value of around SGD 40 million, the title of the profitably operating Company is exciting.

    SIEMENS AG - Market Leader in IoT Solutions

    The large corporation is active in numerous business areas, often in one of the top ranks. Key areas include automation and digitalization in the process and manufacturing industries (Digital Industries) and intelligent infrastructure in buildings and decentralized energy systems (Smart Infrastructure).

    With the next "stage" of the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT), the focus is now shifting to communication between networked devices. The resulting flood of data must be intelligently channeled and used. With the IoT-as-a-Service solution MindSphere, which uses advanced analytics and AI, the Group is a global leader. The cloud-based open IoT platform helps companies connect products, plants, systems and machines.

    Siemens is truly a top dog in many business sectors. Investors here are investing in a stable and well-positioned blue chip.

    Things are heating up with Alibaba and Credissential, while Palantir and SAP ride the AI boom

    The stock market is picking up speed. In addition to the high-tech and AI fantasy, there are rumors of peace in Ukraine. European equities that are likely to play a role in any reconstruction are attracting a lot of attention. Cement maker Heidelberg Materials has been performing well for weeks, and Siemens is also gaining daily. Outside of geopolitical considerations, SAP remains the only German cloud of hope to be a long-running success. Is a correction possible here? It is difficult to imagine at the moment, so attention is turning to lagging stocks or stocks that have already fully exploited their momentum. For those paying close attention, divergences are visible!

    The course for the future of AI was set this week in France, where 1,500 representatives from politics and business gathered for the international AI summit. The AI revolution is driven by immense energy and semiconductor demand that Europe, with its current energy policy, cannot fulfil. The commodities rally for energy generation is gaining momentum to power the immense data centers. Ideal timing for the explorer Globex Mining, which, with its portfolio of strategic commodities, is a mineral bank for investors. With a strong diversification of commodities and precious metals, there is something for practically every energy requirement. Intel, on the other hand, could experience a recovery through cooperation with TSMC. The stock suffered a 60% decline last year. Quantum computing pioneer D-Wave demonstrates that practical applications of the technology are already in use today. In an open letter, CEO Baratz addresses investors.

    AI is revolutionizing the business world and, for good reason, transforming entire industries. Palantir is setting new standards in data analysis by integrating Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk for his X platform. The Canadian tech company Credissential is also pursuing a platform approach. Here, the AI-supported solution is developing a comprehensive package for buying used cars online in the US market. In addition to the vehicle, the software is being developed and marketed to a predominantly young audience and Credissential is building its software to offer appropriate insurance, transfer costs, and other relevant add-ons. Once implemented, the company expects an improved conversion rate by connecting to the digital marketplace. Deutsche Bank is currently facing a fine of EUR 10 million. Employees sold financial derivatives to small and medium-sized companies in Spain, whose risks was largely not communicated.
