The world is sliding from the Corona Crisis into the energy crisis. While climate change also threatens prosperity and stability, a conflict of goals is now emerging between sustainable action and safeguarding industry livelihood. What is at stake: Energy is becoming scarce in China. German industry is also urging the prospective coalition leaders in Berlin to reduce energy costs urgently. Saudi Aramco boss Amin Nasser stresses the importance of investing in new oil wells. And what happens? Oil companies are adorning themselves with wind farms that are, at best, fig leaves in the face of concrete energy needs. We present three stocks for turbulent times.

    Gazprom: Good business to the east and west

    When people talk about a brutal winter in Germany given rising gas prices, the name of the Russian oil giant Gazprom comes up in the second sentence, if not earlier. Germany is still dependent on Russia - and thanks to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, it will remain so for quite some time. The dispute over the pipeline's completion has been settled. Russia is now trying to smooth the waters in the aftermath and dispel any fears that Germany has become susceptible to blackmail because of Nord Stream 2. Only recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave assurances that he would expand gas supplies to Germany if necessary.

    Gazprom, which plays a decisive role in the export of gas, is likely to profit in this case. But Gazprom is not dependent on Germany alone. In parallel, it is currently working on a pipeline to the east to sell its energy in China as well. Since Gazprom accounts for 18% of the world's gas production, the Company is perfectly positioned for the current situation. In particular, its business with China, for which it recently commissioned a gas processing plant that also produces helium, has great potential. The share is and remains promising - but the value will not be a multiplier.

    Osino Resources: Things can go very fast here

    Osino Resources has more potential to become a multiplier. The Company operates in Namibia and is advancing the Twin Hills gold project there. While there are many smaller gold developers in the investment universe that have their appeal but must also be considered highly speculative, Osino Resources offers a more balanced risk-reward profile. That is because the Company is already turning a much bigger wheel compared to many smaller companies. Currently, they are planning a 75,000-meter drill program. In the second quarter of this year, they published a resource estimate of 430,000 ounces (indicated) and 1.47 million ounces of gold (inferred) at grades of around 1.0 g/t. With the new drill program, the resources are expected to increase significantly once again.

    The fact that the team around Osino CEO Heye Daun in the Damara belt in Nambia knows precisely what it is doing is also proven by the fact that the team was already responsible for the neighboring Ojikoto mine and sold it to B2Gold for CAD 180 million a few years ago. With Twin-Hills, this feat should succeed again, as Heye Daun confidently presented at the International Investment Forum a few weeks ago. (Click here for the video of the presentation). Since the analysts at Sprott Equity Research are also positive about the stock and are calling out a price target of CAD 2.55, which currently corresponds to more than a doubling, investors should take a closer look at the share given possible upheavals in the market. Gold can play an essential role in a portfolio as inflation protection and crisis insurance.

    Deutsche Telekom: Share fails to perform

    If you already have gold and oil in your portfolio, you could also add a cash cow. The idea is obvious: Companies that provide people with basic services generate regular income and usually have the pricing power to pass on inflation. One such company is Deutsche Telekom. The Bonn-based Company has long been more than just a German company - it has recently been doing particularly well in the USA. As a result, the Group also raised its forecast for 2021 and now expects an EBITDA of EUR 37.2 billion. This outlook has caused the share price to rise by around 24% on a one-year horizon. Most recently, however, the share price fell, contrary to the market as a whole. The stock is not really picking up speed given rising prices.


    There are many beneficiaries of the energy crisis. Shares like Gazprom should continue to benefit from the market environment. However, some of the situations are already priced in, especially for the major companies in the oil sector. While classic cash flow stocks, such as Deutsche Telekom, have not yet benefited from the market environment, smaller gold companies with promising projects and a foreseeable roadmap to sale or production could be an interesting niche. Osino Resources is a gold stock with potential.

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

    Selected small caps can offer compelling opportunities beyond the market's biggest names. Analysts see significant upside potential in several companies, citing attractive catalysts and long-term growth prospects. Desert Gold is approaching the start of gold production, a milestone that GBC analysts believe could drive a substantial re-rating of the stock. At Steyr, the first potential acquirer has emerged. Although the talks were not successful, this is nonetheless an encouraging strategic signal. Here, too, analysts recommend buying. Meanwhile, could Stabilus' latest strategic robotics partnership mark the beginning of a turnaround? Which of these stocks could be the next to break out?

    A Chip Crash Was Inevitable, a Gold Revival Is on the Horizon! AMD, Infineon, and SanDisk Are in a Sell-Off; Lahontan Gold Is on the Rise

    What a bombshell in the tech sector! The abrupt plunge in semiconductor stocks has unexpectedly shaken up the industry and forced the NASDAQ into a correction. After a rally lasting several months, valuations were starting to look ambitious, while signs of an economic slowdown were emerging. A reassessment of fundamentals appears to be underway, as in an environment of persistent inflation and high volatility, investors' desire for stability and preservation of value is once again coming to the forefront. Gold has historically served this role many times as a classic "safe haven", safeguarding real purchasing power through crises. The tactical strategy is to realize some or all of the gains from overheated, cyclical technology and semiconductor stocks and reallocate them to precious metals and related instruments. While chip and memory stocks react strongly to market sentiment, an exposure to the gold sector provides a stable anchor with long-term opportunities. Now is a good time to act!
