Horror for Nel share! Nordex and First Hydrogen impress!
Nel ASA is plunging - both operationally and in its stock performance. The hydrogen pioneer is shocking the capital market with massive job cuts and a production stop at its main plant. What are the reasons? Is there any improvement in sight? On the day of the Nel crash, First Hydrogen delivered a positive highlight. As a result, the share price even rose slightly. The technology company belongs to the new generation of hydrogen specialists. Its fuel cell commercial vehicles have passed the practical test, and the stock appears ready for a re-rating. Analysts believe that Nordex shares could make a comeback. The Company is considered one of the promising German midcaps. Operationally, things are going well, too, with a new major order from North America recently reported.

Bayer, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – Turnaround Candidates for 2025 Under Review
After the year-end portfolio window-dressing in December, the new year starts with the hunt for the right stocks for 2025. Special attention should be given to turnaround candidates, meaning stocks that underperformed last year. These companies have faced challenging times and have often already begun addressing their issues through strategic realignment. Sometimes, market conditions for a sector can improve significantly from one year to the next, and then the stocks of these companies often rise disproportionately. Identifying the right stocks requires thorough research. We look at three potential turnaround candidates.

Automotive revolution: BYD leads the way in electric power, First Hydrogen focuses on hydrogen, and Porsche loses market share
The mobility revolution is in full swing. Whether in the automotive or energy production sectors, innovative CEOs and daring engineers worldwide are working on environmentally friendly drives and energy sources. The Chinese automaker BYD impressively demonstrates the success of its aggressive pricing strategy and a broad model range from hybrid to electric vehicles. It is only a few sales figures away from the top dog Tesla, then BYD is number 1 worldwide. The innovative company First Hydrogen is even going one step further in its planning. In addition to its hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, it plans to build several mini-reactors to produce hydrogen. These mini-reactors will be used by tech giants like Google in the future. While it used to be ahead of everyone else, Porsche is currently driving with the handbrake on. Last year's sharp drop in share prices is forcing the Company to change its strategy. Even its largest market to date, China, is collapsing. Find out here what the Stuttgart-based company is banking on this year.

Bull's eye in 2025: Nuclear energy and hydrogen! Watch out for Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Mercedes and BMW
The production of hydrogen using nuclear energy is seen as a promising way to create a flexible energy carrier in a climate-neutral manner. Especially in areas where renewable energy sources are insufficient or a continuous power supply is required, hydrogen demonstrates its strengths. The carbon footprint of hydrogen from nuclear energy is comparable to that of renewable sources such as wind and solar since nuclear power plants operate almost emission-free. Unlike wind or solar energy, nuclear power can generate electricity around the clock because it is not dependent on weather conditions. This helps to avoid so-called dark doldrums, such as the one recently experienced in Germany on Friday. In countries such as France and Japan, nuclear energy is already considered an option for hydrogen production to advance the decarbonisation of industries. Which stocks are coming to the fore as a result?

New hydrogen hype in 2025? Nel ASA, thyssenkrupp nucera, Plug Power, and First Hydrogen
Is nuclear-based hydrogen fueling a comeback for the industry? The growing energy demand for AI and other technologies is straining electricity grids. Shares of First Hydrogen have surged 17% following its announcement to venture into small nuclear reactors for hydrogen production, yet the Company is still valued at less than CAD 20 million. Nel is to build a pilot plant in South Korea to produce hydrogen from surplus nuclear power. However, the valuation of the Norwegian company still seems too high. Plug Power shareholders might face turbulent times in the coming weeks as short-sellers position themselves. By contrast, thyssenkrupp nucera is recommended as a "Buy". Which hydrogen player will take off in 2025?

Rivian, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen AG – Expansion continues
In terms of sales, the automotive industry is the largest manufacturing sector and by far the most significant industrial sector in Germany. However, German carmakers are currently in crisis and unable to escape the negative headlines. They are falling behind, especially when it comes to vehicles with alternative drive systems. In recent years, companies excelling in this area have emerged, offering enormous potential for share price growth due to their promising future prospects.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – Hydrogen could save the European automotive industry
The European automotive industry is at a crossroads: Amid the transition to zero-emission drivetrains and growing competitive pressure from China, manufacturers are looking for technological alternatives beyond battery-based solutions. Hydrogen propulsion could play a key role here. Particularly in applications such as heavy-duty commercial vehicles or long-distance mobility, hydrogen offers advantages that push BEVs (battery electric vehicles) to their limits. In addition, the technology enables a diversification of the European drive system landscape and reduces dependence on scarce raw materials such as lithium or cobalt.

Make Trump love hydrogen – why not? Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, thyssenkrupp and nucera
- Even though Trump ignores or denies climate change, he has an advisory team focused on the future of the US. After all, the Republican Party wants to continue to govern even after the Donald era. However, the current election result is weighing on the entire green tech sector, so investors should selectively take advantage of the current sell-off. After all, the technologies will not disappear but continue to develop in the background. Hydrogen propulsion systems still play a niche role but could become more important due to technological advances and infrastructure investments. Their future depends heavily on how effectively renewable hydrogen can be produced and made available and how costs develop compared to other zero-emission technologies. First Hydrogen is demonstrating how the logistics and transportation sector could develop under the EU's "Net Zero 2050" target! Sentiment is low, so investors should switch in time to benefit from the impending rebound.

First Hydrogen, BYD, Porsche - Two newcomers challenge the old guard
Germany is establishing itself as a pioneer in hydrogen mobility with an ambitious 9,700 km hydrogen network and 17 specialized hydrogen centers. The Company First Hydrogen is taking advantage of this momentum and is positioning itself in the German market with its field-tested commercial vehicles at exactly the right time. With an impressive range of 630 km per tank fill and successful fleet trials in the UK, First Hydrogen is making strides. At the same time, Hungary is developing into a strategic hub of European e-mobility. With BYD and BMW setting up operations and the battery manufacturer CATL investing EUR 7.3 billion, a major center for electromobility is emerging here. Once the undisputed star in the automotive sky, Porsche is experiencing a decline in revenue of 5.2% to EUR 28.56 billion and is struggling with a falling operating return. The important Chinese market, particularly, is causing concern for the Stuttgart-based company, where sales figures fell by a third in the first half of the year.

Siemens Energy unstoppable! BYD in a trade war? First Hydrogen share set for a price jump?
More and more analysts are suggesting it might be time to sell Siemens Energy stock. After all, the share is one of the top performers this year, with a price gain of more than 200%. What are the arguments in favour of selling? In contrast, anti-cyclical investors could add First Hydrogen shares to their portfolios. With plans to roll out hydrogen solutions for commercial vehicles across Europe, First Hydrogen's stock appears to have stabilized and represents the new generation in the hydrogen sector. Meanwhile, BYD is growing strongly. The Chinese are aiming for an aggressive expansion in Europe, but what do the new punitive tariffs mean? Is a trade war looming?
