Electric Vehicle Sales Are Booming: Taking a Closer Look at Albemarle, Rock Tech Lithium and BYD
The electric vehicle market is booming and may have received an additional boost from the conflict in the Persian Gulf. However, the global picture remains mixed. The strongest growth is taking place in the world's largest automotive market: China. There, the electrification rate has now surpassed the 50% threshold. More than one in two newly registered vehicles in the country is a plug-in. EV growth of 10-15% is forecast for this year. Germany, the world's third-largest automotive market, has also returned to a dynamic growth path following a weak 2024. Sales figures for 2025 stood at more than half a million electric vehicles. If plug-in hybrids are included, total sales exceed 800,000 units, representing an increase of over 40%. The United States, the world's second-largest automotive market, remains the exception, showing weaker development, largely due to political headwinds from Washington. The share of newly sold electric vehicles in the overall market there is estimated at just 7%-8%. Globally, however, battery-powered vehicles remain on the fast track to success, accounting for roughly 25% of the market. In addition, a new sales record was reached in 2025, with more than 20 million electric vehicles sold worldwide, up 20% year over year. This momentum is reason enough to take another look at attractive stocks in the sector. Today, we examine the shares of Albemarle, Rock Tech Lithium, and BYD.

Lithium Makes a Comeback: Processing Is a Bottleneck for Mercedes-Benz and Siemens Energy – Rock Tech Lithium Breaks the Monopoly
With scarce raw material reserves in the West, a more restrictive trade policy, and China still holding a monopoly on raw material processing, the situation surrounding battery-grade raw materials calls for action. After the price of lithium hit a preliminary low in June 2025, "white gold" saw a robust recovery of around 180% by February 2026, reaching a high of USD 10.48 per pound. The real bottleneck, however, is not extraction, but the chemical refinement into high-purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate for battery applications. Since a comprehensive investigation by the US Department of Commerce now classifies lithium supply security as a matter of national security, the development of resilient domestic processing infrastructure has moved to the forefront of industry priorities. The German-Canadian company Rock Tech Lithium plays a crucial role.

Canopy Growth, Globex Mining and Rock Tech Lithium with strong signals
Now that the precious metals gold and silver are taking a breather after a rally, other markets are becoming the focus of investor interest. In addition to copper, which is likely to reach new highs in the medium term due to supply shortages, lithium, an industrial metal essential for electromobility, continues to work on bottoming out. However, the highlight of the past week in terms of volatility was cannabis stocks, which are expected to remain in focus in the coming weeks.

Rock Tech Lithium, Klimat X Developments, Plug Power - Which GreenTechs have potential?
GreenTech companies have become increasingly important in recent years as they focus on developing and disseminating technologies that promote environmental protection. One example of this is lithium refinement, which is required for the production of batteries for electric vehicles. Another crucial topic is CO2 certificates, which companies can purchase to offset their emissions. Hydrogen technology is also becoming increasingly important, as it is seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. We have selected a candidate from each sector and are examining their potential.

Rock Tech Lithium, Altech Advanced Materials, Continental - There is a lot of movement here
The final few weeks of the year are packed with activity. Before the Christmas tree is decorated and the goose is on the table, several companies are planning significant capital measures for the future. The general conditions appear favorable, as the German leading index, DAX, is on the verge of reaching a new all-time high. Technology stocks have also switched back into rally mode in recent days, boosted by the expected loose monetary policy.

Screaming for a turnaround - Siemens Energy, Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium
The future belongs to green energy to achieve climate neutrality by the middle of this century. Despite political support, hydrogen, wind and solar stocks have suffered significant losses in recent months. The raw materials required for this have also slumped due to the threat of a global recession and are now at a two-year low, as in the case of lithium. In the long term, demand for critical raw materials will likely rise sharply again, heralding a new upward trend.

E-car flash in the pan or summit rush? The key players: Varta, Rock Tech Lithium, Almonty Industries
After a challenging climb, we often reap the rewards of our efforts - this is just as true on the stock market as it is after a day in the Alps. While clear skies, Alpine delicacies, and traditional hut festivities might be limited to holidaymakers, a lucrative reward beckons permanently on the stock exchange after thorough research. We look at how investors can navigate the recent price fireworks in e-car shares.

Gold rush mood at Manuka Resources and Rock Tech Lithium, and Bayer writes billion-dollar losses
Australian gold and silver explorer Manuka Resources has successfully shipped its third gold shipment to Australasia's leading independent precious metals assayer, ABC Refinery. Shares in Manuka Resources rose nearly 8% following the news. In addition, the Company now plans regular weekly shipments as it processes various stockpiles from its Mt Boppy gold project. Bayer AG is reporting losses of billions of dollars due to write-downs in its Monsanto agriculture division, again fueling breakup rumors. The group is struggling with significant declines in its glyphosate-based weedkiller business, which is weighing heavily on its finances. A promising newcomer on the commodities horizon is emerging right in Germany's Brandenburg region. There, Rock Tech Lithium is working to develop battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate by building and operating lithium hydroxide production facilities.

K+S, Almonty Industries, Rock Tech Lithium - Europe arms itself against shortage situation
European industry is transforming, with the ban on combustion engines from 2035 being just one example. The energy transition is creating an increased need for critical materials and raw materials to make the changeover in industry possible. The European Commission has also recognized this and launched a Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). This is intended to optimize and diversify supplies. Recycling and research into resource efficiency are also on the agenda. We, therefore, look at three companies involved in critical raw materials.

Allkem, Grid Metals, Rock Tech Lithium - Gigantic movements
It is called the white gold. Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used energy storage devices in electric vehicles. The soft alkali metal offers high specific energy, which means it can store a lot of energy per unit weight, which enables electric vehicles to have a greater range. Due to the growing demand resulting from the transformation in the transport sector, there is a disproportionate demand for the critical raw material. Supply, on the other hand, is severely limited.
