Takeover fever 2023? BioNTech, Barrick Gold, Standard Lithium, Manuka Resources

  • Mining
  • Vanadium
  • Lithium
  • Biotechnology
  • Gold

The pharmaceutical sector was already in takeover fever last year. BioNTech partner Pfizer, among others, made several acquisitions. The hunger for acquisitions is likely to continue in the current year as major pharmaceutical and biotech companies are looking to fill up their pipelines. The current year could also be exciting for gold stocks. In 2022, companies failed to keep pace with the positive gold price. Producers of raw materials for the energy transition could also get into takeover fever. Manuka Resources could benefit from the latest two trends. The Canadians have just carried out a capital measure to advance their projects. Corporations could also target specialists like Standard Lithium. Rumours that Tesla is looking at lithium projects have been doing the rounds for a long time. And what about Barrick Gold and BioNTech?

Electricity price brake and "Lehman Moment" - Barrick Gold, MAS Gold, Standard Lithium

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Lithium

The German government plans to spend around EUR 65 billion on the third energy aid package. But how big the total package will end up being is unclear. Above all, the intervention in the electricity market is "incalculable," according to economist Michael Hüther. Will this result in a new "Lehman moment"? We focus on the risks of the aid package and shed light on how investors can respond.

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.

Inflation, gold and silver - The pot is bubbling: Barrick Gold, Manuka Resources, First Majestic, Standard Lithium

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Commodities

The set-up for rising precious metals could not be better at the moment. Due to the enormous price surges for energy and technical equipment, the operating costs of mines are increasing, and exploration is also becoming more expensive. In the medium term, this should lead to declining production in the precious metals sector, especially since prices have been falling significantly for some time. However, physical availability is not given at the low spot prices, as an ounce of silver is currently still traded between EUR 23 and EUR 28. The converted spot price would be around EUR 19. We have interesting commodity stocks in focus.

Is Elon Musk making a move on Standard Lithium? News from Newmont and Tocvan Ventures

  • Lithium
  • Gold
  • Mining

The sentiment of investors in lithium and gold stocks could hardly be more different at the moment. Shares such as Standard Lithium and Livent are recovering significantly from their interim phase of weakness. The entire sector is benefiting from positive comments by Tesla founder Elon Musk. There is also speculation that the wealthiest man in the world could take a stake in Standard Lithium. It would make perfect sense for Tesla. In contrast, all hope seems to be fading in the gold sector. Heavyweights like Barrick Gold and Newmont are trading near 52-week lows. The latest setback was Newmont's numbers. However, the dividend yield is now tempting, and there are also positives from the gold sector. Canadian explorer Tocvan Ventures reported convincing drill results.

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.

Standard Lithium, Power Nickel, Varta - Shares for the e-mobility of the future

  • Electromobility
  • Lithium
  • Nickel

Decarbonization is a done deal among the major industrialized nations. Fossil fuels are to be used less and less, thus reducing emissions. The climate targets can only be achieved through a show of strength. The revolution began in early 2021 when the major car companies said goodbye to internal combustion engines. The future belongs to electric vehicles, which rely on batteries or rechargeable batteries. Since then, the prices for lithium, nickel and the like have skyrocketed. Smaller companies that want to take advantage of the imbalance in supply and demand also benefit from this. Today, we take a look at three companies that could be important for the mobility of the future.

BASF, Standard Lithium, Almonty Industries, BYD - Industrial shares in focus: Now it matters!

  • Tungsten
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

Poland and Bulgaria no longer receive gas from Russia because they cannot pay in hard rubles. Feat: No one has larger stocks of this exotic currency because until now, all energy deliveries could be paid for in foreign currency. The situation has reached a new level of escalation between the Russian government and resource-hungry Central Europe. With further arms deliveries, this political issue will become even more acute. We look at existing dependencies and the dangers for German industrial stocks.

Nel, Standard Lithium, Power Nickel: Shares for the electric boom

  • Nickel
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

BYD and Tesla are celebrating new delivery records in 2022 - and the trend continues to rise. German automakers are also trying to keep pace with electromobility with new models. But success has long since ceased to depend solely on technology and brand; the supply of raw materials is increasingly becoming a critical factor. Lithium and nickel, in particular, are in short supply, and prices are going through the roof. The shares of Standard Lithium and Power Nickel, among others, are benefiting from this. While Standard Lithium has been able to win groups as partners, the spin-off of Power Nickel's gold activities is providing additional share price potential. Hydrogen also has great potential, regardless of whether it will play a role in cars in the future or not. With the latest cooperation with the energy supplier Iberdrola, Nel is taking a further step to secure a piece of the pie.

Lithium explosion: BYD, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium - Explosives for e-mobility!

  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

Whether e-mobility, aircraft technology or renewable energies, virtually all high-tech segments seek suitable energy storage. The development driver is climate protection, which will put mobility and energy generation and distribution on a new footing in the future. In order to bring e-mobility to a level of efficiency similar to the most modern diesel technology, on the one hand, significantly more environmentally friendly battery production processes are required, as well as a massive increase in performance. The electric boom is thus creating an incredible pull for battery metals, above all, lithium. With a 500% increase in 24 months, the price of the white metal recently reached a new high. But producers are scarce!
