First Phosphate, Volkswagen, BYD – The automotive industry is in a flurry again
Donald Trump is wasting no time. On the day of his swearing-in, he signed several decrees and explicitly mentioned higher tariffs in his inaugural address. The new External Revenue Service will be responsible for working out exactly what these will look like. Trump wants to close the loopholes, such as imports via Mexico, in order to protect and strengthen his own economy. This is a disaster for the European automotive industry in particular because, after the difficulties in China, there is a risk of further losses in the second-largest sales market. In addition, vehicle manufacturers need more powerful batteries in their electric vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are becoming more and more popular for this purpose. However, there is a bottleneck here as well. We take a closer look at the automotive market.

The stock market boom continues – Power Nickel, BYD, Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy are soaring, and thyssenkrupp is turning a corner!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. Chart analysts see the DAX reaching 21,500 points as early as January! Yesterday, the stock markets in the US were closed for Martin Luther King Day, but Donald Trump was sworn in again as the 47th President. Storm clouds are currently a rarity, and corrections have been limited to just a few hours. Investors have to keep pace with this speed to achieve returns. Stagnation or even setbacks are seen only in Germany's GDP, which has declined for the second consecutive year. However, this is no obstacle for higher stock market valuations. Here is a selection of stocks that continue to cause a stir!

D-Wave, European Lithium, BYD – Silicon Valley, the Alps, China: The tech axis of the future
The digital revolution is advancing in quantum leaps: the Silicon Valley company D-Wave is accelerating conventional computing processes by a factor of 2,000 with its groundbreaking quantum computing technology. Analysts predict that its share price will double this year. The Austrian company European Lithium is profiting from the unbroken demand for the same raw material. With its property in beautiful Carinthia, the exploration and mining company has the potential to take the lead among European lithium producers. Automaker BMW is already on board, having invested millions. Analysts predict a growth of 500% for European Lithium shares. In this phase of transformation, shifts in power are also becoming apparent: BYD, originally a battery manufacturer and now China's largest electric vehicle producer, plans to take over two German Volkswagen plants – a symbolic turning point in European industrial history. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

ARI Motors, Volkswagen, BYD – E-mobility between urban niche, China strategy, and ethical boundaries
Electromobility is changing the automotive industry at all levels – from agile small vans for city centre operations to vehicles used on the factory premises of large corporations: cost-efficient solutions are in demand. The German manufacturer ARI Motors is conquering the niche of inner-city deliveries and artisan businesses with its small and nimble electric vehicles. Meanwhile, the industry's big players are fighting for market share in China. Volkswagen is expanding its strategic partnership with Chinese EV pioneer Xpeng to develop new EV models for the Asian market and roll out a nationwide network of 20,000 fast-charging stations. Chinese automaker BYD, however, is making headlines in Brazil – not for its innovations but for a scandal involving questionable working conditions during the construction of a new factory.

Super Rally 2025: Artificial intelligence, crypto and the hunger for energy! TOP performance with MicroStrategy, XXIX Metal, BYD and Mercedes
The sudden cancellation of the government environmental bonus for e-vehicles at the end of 2023 has led to a significant drop in the number of electric vehicles being registered. However, interest in electric vehicles remains, albeit constrained, partly due to the high prices of many electric models. New government measures are expected to boost electric mobility again starting in 2025, with potential incentives of up to EUR 3,600 – though the implementation will likely only happen after the elections. What is being treated as an election promise for Germany has become the norm for the rest of the world. The increasing demand for energy driven by the electrification of various sectors, from high-tech and artificial intelligence to the crypto arena, which is even now being considered as a "reserve currency," highlights how quickly the world is changing in this disruptive environment. However, what all economic and political trends have in common is the need for access to strategic metals, especially copper! Where are the opportunities for investors?

Volkswagen undervalued! What about European Lithium and BYD?
Looking at the market for electric vehicles in Germany, the outlook seems bleak. However, taking a broader view, the global picture tells a different story. Battery production is also steadily rising, driving a growing demand for lithium. Currently, the lithium supply is still sufficient, but experts predict that by 2030 demand will exceed supply. The reason for this is not only the automotive industry but also the demand for energy storage for renewable energies. We take a look at three companies and their current situation.

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.

Will the corks be popping in 2025, too? 100% with BYD, VW, Power Nickel, MicroStrategy and Bitcoin possible
Since the tech bubble of 2000, there has been no year in which profits were so concentrated in just a few sectors as in 2024. Bitcoin, high-tech, artificial intelligence, and armaments were the blockbusters, while other sectors such as biotech, pharmaceuticals and automotive lagged far behind or even ended the year in the red. Nvidia, Tesla, D-Wave, Super Micro Computer, Rheinmetall and MicroStrategy were the protagonists of an incredible spectacle. Now, these stocks have priced in a golden future, in some cases with P/E ratios of over 100, and no one can seriously predict how things will continue here. Historically, the subsequent crash in the three years following the reference year 2000 resulted in losses of over 90%. The important difference: whereas in the past stocks were listed without any fundamental value, today it is predominantly world market leaders in their particular niche. Investors are betting on the fact that there will be no competition in the long term. Where are the opportunities for investors at the turn of the year?

New elections in 2025 – A tailwind for electric mobility: VW, Mercedes, ARI Motors, BYD and Stellantis
The traffic light is history, and new elections will be held on February 23. If the current polls are to be believed, a centre-right coalition could emerge. A 180-degree turn in economic policy would be needed for Germany as a business location to stop the exodus of industry abroad. However, this requires signs of a consistent refocusing on burning issues. Citizens are burdened with high price increases, and e-mobility urgently needs new incentives. International investors have long since turned their backs on European markets and are investing primarily in the US. The very low valuations in this country, which have rarely been observed over a longer period of time, offer hope. There is a good chance of a noticeable turnaround in the automotive sector in particular.
