Defense Metals, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares for the energy transition
The energy transition is a major challenge for the world, as it requires transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In order to switch to renewable energies in the long term, large quantities of critical raw materials such as rare earths and lithium are needed. However, these raw materials are important not only for the energy transition but also for numerous other applications in modern industry. Rare earths are particularly important for the production of powerful magnets used in electric motors and generators. Lithium, on the other hand, is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Today, we look at three companies that can help drive the energy transition.

BYD, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Energy transition reloaded! This is what matters now
If you order a new photovoltaic system today, you cannot avoid products from China. Even German brands often work with Chinese partners and benefit from local technology at favorable prices. But the energy transition is facing a turning point: The gap between East and West is getting deeper and deeper. We look at what this means for companies in the sector and where opportunities could arise.

Bank failure and new heaters! Nordex, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Greentech shares in the focus of investors
German Economics Minister Habeck wants to stick to his controversial plans to ban the installation of new oil and gas heating systems from 2024. In press releases, he describes the "heat turnaround" as mandatory. However, criticism of the plan is getting louder rather than quieter. What other countries do not even discuss is to be implemented here as quickly as possible due to a lack of fossil raw materials. The government in Berlin is worried about the climate targets set by law and still believes in the prosperity-securing transformation of the German economy and private households. The financing side of these projects is being forgotten because not everyone will be able to afford the purchases. FDP parliamentary group leader Dürr sent Habeck's plans back to the "assembly hall" for the time being on the talk show "Anne Will" because of various construction defects. The crux of the matter is energy availability, which is crucial for a green transformation. Which values now belong in the portfolio?

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, BASF - Rearmament in the defense industry, restructuring in the chemical industry
A new chapter can begin for Ukraine's defense. Rheinmetall will supply the country with border surveillance technology. Analysts raise the share price target from EUR 240 to EUR 300. A solution to the conflict with Russia is not in sight, so demand for rare metals urgently needed in armaments is rising all the higher. This is where Defense Metals comes into play. The Canadian explorer has initial data from the crushing samples and can now better estimate the costs for the feasibility study. BASF is also concerned with costs. The Company put its red pen to work and cut 2/3 of its jobs, especially at a site in Germany. A planned agar project in the US has also been suspended until further notice.

Beware of Plug Power and Tesla. Better to bet on BYD and Defense Metals?
Caution is advised with e-car pioneer Tesla: Over the weekend, a video of an accident involving a Tesla and a stationary fire truck made the rounds on the Internet. This could once again bring the US authorities onto the scene. They had just ordered a "recall" for more than 360,000 vehicles. The reason was an increased risk of accidents. Tesla has to install an online update of the driver assistance software. And then Charlie Munger had also spoken out clearly for BYD and against Tesla. It was almost ridiculous, said the partner of Warren Buffett, how strongly BYD had asserted itself against Tesla. While Tesla is lowering prices, BYD has raised them. Experts also advise caution for Plug Power. Chart-wise, the stock is still battered, the estimates for the coming years seem ambitious, and a capital increase to finance the expansion is hardly avoidable. At the same time, electromobility and hydrogen are absolute topics of the future. Are investors therefore better off betting on BYD and Defense Metals?

Rare earths are increasingly important: Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, Volkswagen
Der Spiegel, Die Welt, Münchner Merkur - in the past week alone, many media reported on the role of rare earths in the energy transition. The conclusion everywhere: rare earths are not rare but urgently needed. Mining sites, therefore, urgently need to be developed - ideally in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. We focus on three companies in urgent need of rare earths or considered up-and-coming producers.

Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, Encavis - New technologies cannot do without this critical raw material
What do metal alloys, magnets, phosphors, ceramics, glass, catalysts and chemical processes need to function well? Rare earths - a critical raw material that is primarily processed in China. Without this raw material, there are no smartphones, computers, wind turbines or electric vehicles. There have been tensions between China and the United States for some time. If these tensions escalate and China stops its rare earth supplies, the Western world will have a problem. As demand for rare earths continues to rise, it is important to ensure sufficient supplies to meet the growing demands of the technology industry.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, Lynas - Time is running out!
Heavy weapons for peace. Tanks, submarines and fighter jets for Ukraine, whatever the cost. This scenario is the bitter reality right now and is being promoted across the board by Western politicians. It may not sound very understandable, but in order to guarantee peace, the world continues to arm itself. Companies in the armaments industry, now declared to be sustainable investment opportunities, are booming. With the seething conflict in Taiwan, tensions are again on the rise. With its raw materials, such as rare earth metals, China has the power to act. The West is frantically trying to reduce dependencies, which is impossible to achieve in the short term.

Gas is becoming scarce and raw materials increasingly expensive: Uniper, BYD, Defense Metals, and Nordex in focus
Five years ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the transportation revolution. Last week, it finally happened: Pepsi was the first company to receive the keys to the new Tesla e-truck called the "Tesla Semi." It is said to have a full 500 miles, or 800 km, range and can be charged in less than an hour with the appropriate high-voltage current. Because fossil fuel energy supplies are becoming more and more expensive, electric innovations are now entering all areas of business. But electricity from the socket also needs its sources. For this, in turn, all countries worldwide are making efforts to get GreenTech off the ground, i.e. the climate-neutral generation of electricity. Only then can e-mobility be said to benefit the environment. What is urgently needed for this are inexpensive energy and metal raw materials.

Is this patent causing a rare earths quake? Nordex, Defense Metals, BYD
Wind power is a crucial component of the energy transition. Rare earths are used to increase the efficiency of wind turbines and electric motors. Dysprosium and terbium, in particular, are in demand. But although rare earths are anything but rare, they are only found in a few regions worldwide. Scientists at Darmstadt Technical University have now developed processes to use rare earths more efficiently. We explain the technology and shed light on three stocks related to rare earths.
