Rock Tech Lithium, Edison Lithium, Albemarle, Allkem - Defying the recession

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility

Fears of a global recession continue to grow, with prices for commodities such as copper, lumber, cotton and even grains correcting sharply. In contrast, the lithium price continues to hold at a high level after the explosive rise at the beginning of the year. The reason for this is the continued strong demand from the electric car industry. In China alone, sales of electric cars amounted to 3.2 million units last year, and 5 million vehicles are expected to be delivered this year. In contrast, the existing supply of lithium resources is scarce. In addition to existing producers, the primary beneficiaries of this shortage are the exploration companies, which have already been able to secure attractive properties.

Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares of the entire lithium value chain

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

Since all car companies have entered the e-mobility market, the demand for batteries for electric vehicles has skyrocketed. An all-out battle has broken out for the components needed for this, which is reflected above all in the price of lithium. While the price was around USD 5,000 per ton at the end of 2020, it was most recently quotes around USD 73,000. Experts even consider further price increases up to USD 100,000 possible because demand is significantly higher than supply. The German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources also comes to this conclusion. The lithium market promises to remain exciting in the coming years. Therefore, today we look at three companies along the value chain.

E-mobility before hydrogen! Watch out for Plug Power, Edison Lithium, Mercedes-Benz and Rock Tech

  • Lithium
  • Hydrogen
  • GreenTech
  • Electromobility

According to the traffic light coalition, subsidies for e-mobility will continue until about 2025 but will decrease by an average of about 30% annually. In the future, the top models will be subsidized even less, and the subsidy for hybrids will already expire at the end of the year. Vehicles costing over EUR 65,000 will no longer be subsidized at all. The environmental bonus tax pot comprises EUR 3.4 billion and will not be increased any further. However, it is important that hydrogen-powered vehicles also benefit from subsidies. Currently, however, there is a lack of models for the mass market. For the e-industry, there are still bottlenecks in battery technology and lithium availability. Against this background, the industry will still have a lot of work to do to get climate change in mobility on the road. Where are the opportunities?

Lithium circular economy and new deposits: Mercedes-Benz Group, Edison Lithium, Varta

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Batteries

Progress is continuously being made in the field of e-cars. However, companies can never get around one substance in electromobility: lithium. We explain where lithium comes from, what recycling options are available and how modern technology can get as much out of the "white gold" as possible, using the shares of Mercedes-Benz Group, Edison Lithium and Varta as examples. Let's go!

BYD, Edison Lithium, Albemarle - It is getting problematic

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility

The electrification of transport and the replacement of the combustion engine are essential to achieve the proclaimed climate goals of politics. Batteries are one of the main components of electromobility. According to a study by the consulting firm Roland Berger, the global market for lithium-ion batteries will grow by 30% per year until 2030. But electric car manufacturers are already struggling with the scarce metal lithium. Prices are skyrocketing and demand is far outstripping supply. Lithium producers are likely to continue to be the primary beneficiaries in the coming years.

How much lithium do BYD, VW, Tesla and Co. need? Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - Who can deliver quickly?

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

Parallel to the electric car boom, many raw material prices have also exploded. Lithium has risen 1200% in price in Chinese yuan since the beginning of 2021, and nickel has risen by 40%. Against the backdrop of continued high global demand for e-vehicles, many high-performance batteries will be needed. As a result, just about every automaker is planning with its own specifications on how to handle battery procurement. BYD, VW, Daimler and Tesla already have their gigafactories or are currently planning them. Lithium is one of a battery's most important raw material components, along with nickel, cobalt, graphite and copper. However, the quantities available on the markets are limited, as producers are also still thin on the ground. We shed light on a market that is determined by shortages.

Rock Tech Lithium, Edison Lithium, Standard Lithium - Demand for lithium is increasing faster than supply

  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

At an industry workshop on lithium price and supply risks hosted by the German Raw Materials Agency, it quickly became clear that lithium is facing a bottleneck. Demand in 2030 is expected to be between 316,000 and 558,000 metric tons of lithium. By comparison, only 82,000 tons were produced in 2020. The target of 15 million electric cars on Germany's roads is thus at risk. The Handelsblatt recently referred to calculations by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, which clearly show that there will not be enough lithium. Therefore, we take a look at three companies from the lithium sector that will benefit from the high demand.

Where is the next 749% lurking? Volkswagen, Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium

  • Lithium

While many commodities have priced in a recession these days, "white gold" is shining brighter than ever. Lithium, an important basic material for accumulators and batteries, is referred to as "white gold". As recently as 2020, the price of a ton of lithium carbonate was quoted at just over USD 8,000. Today, the coveted substance stands at a whopping USD 71,000. Here is how investors can profit from this trend and which companies need to dress warmly.

Extreme growth in demand for Ganfeng and Edison Lithium, XPeng and NIO with solid sales figures

  • Electromobility
  • Lithium

The auto industry faces a massive supply problem in the coming years. The reason for this lies in the exploding demand for lithium, an elementary raw material for electromobility. While the lithium market was 33,000t per year globally in 2015, it rose to 85,000t by 2022. By 2030, when the German government plans to have 15 million electric cars on German roads, experts predict an annual demand of up to 400,000t. There is already a clear shortage of supply. The profiteers here are the lithium producers. After a sharp correction in the lithium sector, new opportunities are opening up in the long term.

Mercedes-Benz, Edison Lithium, K+S - Strong gains from the start

  • Electromobility
  • Lithium
  • fertilizer

Mercedes-Benz AG scores with a good return on cars and vans in the first quarter of this year. Luxury and electric, in particular, are selling like hotcakes. Despite the pandemic, delivery problems and the lapsed Russian business, shareholders are benefiting from the current share price. To meet the demand for electromobility, areas with mineral resources such as lithium and cobalt are becoming increasingly valuable. These metals are used in batteries to power electric vehicles. The fertilizer company K+S is also providing drive in the agricultural sector. With its products, farmers generate almost twice as much crop yield. However, this disturbs a delicate balance, prompting the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education to take action.
