Clear signals at BYD, Globex Mining and Plug Power
The growth rates of electric car companies continue to be enormous, as the recently published sales figures of the Chinese market leader BYD show. The trend will likely continue at least until the end of this decade. According to a forecast by Statista, there will be 116 million electric vehicles worldwide in 2030, representing an increase of 1,800% since 2020. However, the transformation of the transport sector is causing an enormous demand for industrial metals. For some critical raw materials, demand is already outstripping supply.

Nuclear off, secure energy now! Altech Advanced Materials, Varta and BYD - Up 700 % and no end in sight?
The nuclear reactors are now off! As though there was enough energy far and wide, the Berlin government ensemble decided to phase out nuclear energy. The reaction of the electricity suppliers followed immediately. On Monday, April 17, E.ON raised its electricity prices by 43%. Meanwhile, the coalition government cannot be deterred from suggesting to citizens that electricity prices will decrease in the long term. It will now be difficult for private households to behave in a climate-friendly way and still be able to consume. There are plenty of solutions for battery storage, but what is affordable and reliable? We take a look at an industry with a future.

Plug Power stops sell-off? BYD is grabbing lithium, and Defense Metals is doing well
In Germany, the last nuclear power plants have been taken off the grid, and in North America, one battery factory after another is being built. Hydrogen is also booming. The Fraunhofer Institute, however, sees few opportunities in the passenger car sector. Experts list the lack of a filling station network and the relatively high prices for hydrogen as disadvantages compared to battery technology. Plug Power, among others, is working on improving the refuelling situation. The operating business of the Americans is in deep red. Can the Q1 figures stop the sell-off of the share? BYD shares, on the other hand, made significant gains yesterday. The Chinese are fully committed to e-cars and have entered into a lithium partnership in Chile for the necessary batteries. It is interesting to note that only a few days ago, the government of the South American country announced that it would nationalize lithium production. Is China thus grabbing the huge lithium deposits in Chile? The battle for raw materials is coming to a head. Defense Metals should profit from this. The rare earth project is located in legally secure Canada and is considered extremely promising.

BYD overtakes Volkswagen! Do Manuka Resources and Varta benefit from battery demand?
Changing of the guard in the world's largest car market: for the first time since the 1980s, the Volkswagen brand is no longer number 1 in China. BYD sold more vehicles in the Middle Kingdom than VW in the first quarter. And while BYD sold only electric models, the German manufacturer also sold combustion engines. If the world's largest car market is to be a blueprint for Europe and the USA, Volkswagen, BMW & Co. are in for hard times. But the latest sales figures also show that demand for batteries is not going to collapse any time soon, as one or two experts predicted for this year. Those who want to bet on the raw materials for batteries should look at Manuka Resources. The Australians also have a second hot iron in the fire with gold projects. And what is the German battery pioneer Varta doing? Next week should be exciting.

E-car surprise in China: Mercedes-Benz, BYD, Grid Metals
E-cars? Yes, please! At least, that is the case for Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius. He sees his company clearly focused on the electric drive - regardless of technology openness. This seems to be paying off at Mercedes: In the first quarter, the Swabians sold almost twice as many e-cars as in the previous year. But how far can this growth go? What do the absolute figures say? We make the comparison and outline investment opportunities.

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - Which Greentech stocks are poised for a boom?
Greentech focuses on technologies and solutions that protect the environment and are sustainable. Since the car industry wants to focus on electric mobility in the future, a race for the best battery has begun. With new technologies, electricity storage systems can be built to store surplus renewable energy instead of letting it go to waste. Electric vehicles have gained popularity through continuous development as they can be used to get around with zero emissions. Growth opportunities are plentiful in this segment. We, therefore, take a look at three companies in the sector.

Winners in electromobility: BYD, First Phosphate, Leoni, Tesla
Electromobility is unbearable. The US electric pioneer delivered 422,875 vehicles in the first three months of the year. This figure slightly exceeded analyst forecasts of 421,000 units. In the Gigafactory in Grünheide, 5,000 electric cars are coming off the production line every week, making about 250,000 per year. If Tesla has its way, there could be 1 million e-cars annually in a few years. But Tesla is not the only winner in electric mobility. BYD is also convincing in terms of sales, and analysts are raising the price target. More e-cars also mean more batteries. First Phosphate wants to profit from this. Once the current capital increase is completed, there is an opportunity to get in. A cable manufacturer should also be in a good position, but unfortunately, shareholders at Leoni face a total loss.

Opportunities for latecomers: Rheinmetall, BYD, Almonty Industries
The Rheinmetall share has been on a rollercoaster ride since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Recently, however, the share price has risen significantly. We explain the further perspective, provide alternatives, and shed light on a possible insider tip. In advance, it should be noted the opportunities beyond well-known stocks are great. However, investors need to consider a few details.

Winners of the supercycles - Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, BYD
Rare earths are indispensable for the production of high-tech products in the defence industry and electromobility due to their unique physical and chemical properties. China controls around 80% of the global output and thus has a key role in the global supply chain. Dependence on China poses a security risk, as the country could restrict access to rare earths or use them for political purposes. Therefore, diversifying supply chains and exploring alternative sources of rare earths is of great importance to ensure long-term security of supply.

Scarcity threatens energy transition - BYD, Canadian North Resources, Encavis
Critical raw materials are becoming increasingly important with the global challenge of climate change and the need to drive the transition to renewable energy. However, these raw materials, which are essential for manufacturing technologies such as solar cells, batteries and electric motors, are limited and often difficult to access. Securing a stable and sustainable supply of critical raw materials is, therefore, one of the key challenges of climate change.
