With share price gains of over 1,000% in a short period of time, Bloom Energy and Siemens Energy are among the winners of the AI-driven energy boom. Analysts have recently raised their price targets for the DAX-listed company. Or is a 40% crash looming? Analysts see around 200% upside potential for A.H.T. Syngas. The energy rally has so far completely bypassed the small-cap company. Yet there are good reasons for a rising share price. In addition to energy stocks, investors are now also flocking to everything related to semiconductors. This is leading to sharp spikes in the charts for companies like LPKF Laser, Infineon, and SÜSS MicroTec, and is drawing short sellers into the fray.

    1,000% with Bloom Energy and Siemens Energy

    Energy companies are among the clear winners of the AI boom. The booming expansion of AI data centers is now even causing power supply conflicts in the US. In Nevada, an energy provider recently made headlines because capacity is increasingly being reserved for the growing needs of large data centers. According to media reports, this could cause tens of thousands of households around Lake Tahoe to lose their current electricity supply.

    Among the biggest winners of this trend over the past 52 weeks are, for example, Bloom Energy and Siemens Energy. Siemens Energy's stock has gained over 1,000% since May 2024. For Bloom Energy, you only have to go back 10 months to achieve this performance.

    Following the release of second-quarter results for fiscal year 2025/2026, Siemens Energy once again received "Buy" recommendations. JPMorgan raised the stock's fair value from EUR 200 to EUR 225. The recommendation remains "Overweight." The long-term outlook is said to remain excellent.
    Berenberg also continues to recommend buying Siemens Energy shares. Analysts were surprised by the high order intake. They believe the stock is capable of reaching EUR 200. This is not much above the current level of EUR 180. But rather conservative price targets are already a tradition at Siemens Energy.

    It is also a tradition that mwb research is pretty much alone in the bears' camp. In September 2024, the "Buy" recommendation for Siemens Energy shares was withdrawn. Since then, "Hold" and "Sell" ratings have alternated. Currently, the firm also sees downside potential of over 40% for the high-flyer of recent years on the German stock market. This is because the price target set by mwb analysts stands at EUR 100.

    This is because the solid fundamentals are already priced in. The company impresses with sustained strong growth momentum, a rising dividend, and an accelerated share buyback program. However, this is already factored into its market capitalization of EUR 155 billion. Expectations have now outpaced the fundamentals. Furthermore, historical trends indicate a cycle that will eventually catch up with the market. There is really no question of overvaluation when it comes to the next stock.

    A.H.T. Syngas: Revenue and Profit Growth Confirmed

    It can really only be a matter of time before the stock market discovers A.H.T. Syngas Technology and the share price skyrockets. As a specialist in decentralized biomass power plants, the company is clearly benefiting from the energy boom. And the fact that it uses biogenic waste to produce electricity, heat, and, in the future, hydrogen as well, is also in line with current trends. This is evident in the company's growth plans. Management recently reaffirmed these targets at an investor conference. According to these plans, the company aims to increase revenue from EUR 2.25 million to EUR 9.24 million in the current year. By 2028, revenue is projected to reach EUR 23 million, leading to an operating profit (EBITDA) of EUR 2.13 million.

    The plausibility of these plans is supported not only by the project volume of more than EUR 30 million, but also by the analysts at GBC Research, who believe A.H.T. Syngas is capable of achieving this strong development. The experts currently see the fair value of the stock at EUR 8.50, while the shares are trading at around EUR 2.70.

    And the latest announcement also shows that A.H.T. Syngas is on a growth trajectory. According to the report, several projects are progressing as planned, with Poland in particular seen as an attractive future market due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and abundant biomass resources. Together with its long-standing partner, Innotec Energy, A.H.T. is working on 17 projects there. While Innotec, as the general contractor, handles project development and acquisition, A.H.T. provides the technology, engineering and planning services. For the 2026 fiscal year, the company anticipates a realizable order volume of at least EUR 10 million.

    The partnership receives additional momentum with Innotec Energy becoming a shareholder in A.H.T. In doing so, the Polish partner is deepening the existing collaboration while also sending a positive signal regarding future growth prospects. The company views this as confirmation of its project pipeline and its positioning in the field of sustainable energy generation.

    LPKF Laser and SÜSS MicroTec: Short Sellers Active

    In addition to energy stocks, investors are now also flocking to everything related to semiconductors. This is also leading to increasingly sharp spikes in the charts for German stocks. For example, LPKF Laser has skyrocketed from under EUR 6 to over EUR 24 since early April. SÜSS MicroTec has risen by 80% in this short period, while Infineon has risen by over 70%. The rally is not for the faint of heart.

    Goldman Sachs recently raised its price target for Infineon significantly. Analysts now expect Germany's largest semiconductor group to reach not EUR 53, but EUR 75. At LPKF Laser, Voleon Capital Management increased its short position from 1.39% to 1.49%. Connor, Clark & Lunn Investment Management reported a short position of 0.51% in the German technology company for the first time.

    Going short in the current environment can also backfire. JPMorgan Asset Management, for example, is likely to feel the effects of this. They have reduced their short position in SÜSS MicroTec from 1.37% to 0.98%. Given the stock's price performance, this is unlikely to have been profitable.


    In the energy and semiconductor boom, some stocks have become overheated. But there are also buying opportunities. A.H.T. appears to be one such opportunity. If the price target set by GBC analysts is reached, investors could earn more than 200%. Siemens Energy is a core investment in the energy sector. The charts for LPKF Laser, Infineon, and others are screaming for a breather.

    BYD, Power Metallic Mines, Intel: Electric Vehicles and AI Data Centers Are Driving a Copper Crisis

    The future runs on electricity, relies on AI, and is being held back by an unassuming metal. Copper, the "red gold" of the energy transition, is becoming a bottleneck. While data centers for language models and autonomous fleets are ramping up their capacity, the supply from mines is drying up. The London Metal Exchange recently reported a 150,000-ton deficit, a reversal of 350,000 tons within a year. Those who do not rethink their strategy now will miss out on the biggest redistribution since the oil shock. We are therefore taking a closer look at BYD as a representative of electric vehicle manufacturers, Power Metallic Mines with its polymetallic deposit rich in copper, and Intel as an indirect consumer of copper through its AI infrastructure.

    Critical Metals Riding the Wave of Industrial Demand! NASDAQ Hits 30,000, and Almonty Gears Up for the Russell 1,000

    Another milestone for Almonty Industries CEO Lewis Black. While the tech rally is pushing the NASDAQ 100 index above 30,000, the tungsten manufacturer is being added to the Russell 1000 Index following the June expiration, based on revenue and valuation criteria. This also entails membership in the somewhat broader Russell 3000 Index, as shown in the FTSE Russell list. This has far-reaching implications! Index-based ETFs must adjust their asset weightings in line with the indices they track within a specified timeframe. For Almonty stock, which has not been represented there until now, this means additional demand from institutional investors - as if the buzz surrounding the only relevant publicly traded tungsten stock were not already big enough. So the party is likely to keep going strong!

    The rapid expansion of renewable energy is colliding with the insatiable appetite for electricity driven by artificial intelligence. This collision is creating a demand gap in the electricity sector unlike anything seen before. While data centers are popping up worldwide, the expansion of wind and solar power plants can barely keep up. The result is a structural shortage of clean electricity. Investors can benefit from this perfect environment. Those who bet on the right companies now can benefit disproportionately from this convergence of megatrends. That is why we are looking today at Siemens Energy as a technology supplier, RE Royalties as an innovative financier, and NextEra Energy as the largest producer of green energy.
