Defense Metals, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares for the energy transition

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Tungsten
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility

The energy transition is a major challenge for the world, as it requires transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In order to switch to renewable energies in the long term, large quantities of critical raw materials such as rare earths and lithium are needed. However, these raw materials are important not only for the energy transition but also for numerous other applications in modern industry. Rare earths are particularly important for the production of powerful magnets used in electric motors and generators. Lithium, on the other hand, is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Today, we look at three companies that can help drive the energy transition.

E-cars - Out of a dream! BYD, BMW, First Phosphate

  • Mining
  • Phosphate
  • Electromobility
  • Sustainability

While German politicians are still discussing the end of the internal combustion engine, major car companies have long since made up their minds. The future is electric. But the mobility revolution is far from being a done deal! We explain where there are still pitfalls and why a small company from Canada could soon be sitting at the big levers to make the dream of clean e-mobility come true for everyone.

Buffett adds to oil stocks: Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, BYD

  • Mining
  • Oil
  • Electromobility

Star investor Warren Buffett has long been a fan of oil stocks. So it is no surprise that he is taking advantage of the current weak oil price to add to his favourite stock (after Apple): Occidental Petroleum. Berkshire Hathaway now holds around 23% of the US oil producer. Those looking to take advantage of the low oil price opportunity should also look at Shell and Saturn Oil & Gas. Numerous analysts recommend Shell and Saturn Oil & Gas is on its way to becoming a well-known producer after several spectacular takeovers. There is also news on BYD. Also a favourite of Buffett, but it is currently in a difficult market environment. Here is what recent media reports suggest.

Goodbye banks - the Greentech rally is on: Shares of BYD, Canadian North, Mercedes Group and BMW are in focus!

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility
  • GreenTech

Blunt, clear text - that is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had promised, in case governments still did not get it. The latest "State of the World Report" is clear. Hesitation is a thing of the past. The message: action is needed now and must be taken worldwide. This is the conclusion of the so-called synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was presented yesterday in Interlaken, Switzerland. Leading scientists have spent the past week wrestling with more than 650 government representatives to lay things out as transparently as possible. The conclusion is quickly formulated: Full throttle for the Greentech industry!

BYD, Defense Metals, JinkoSolar - Energy transition reloaded! This is what matters now

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility
  • Solar

If you order a new photovoltaic system today, you cannot avoid products from China. Even German brands often work with Chinese partners and benefit from local technology at favorable prices. But the energy transition is facing a turning point: The gap between East and West is getting deeper and deeper. We look at what this means for companies in the sector and where opportunities could arise.

JinkoSolar, Manuka Resources, BYD - Vanadium raw material as an insider tip

  • Mining
  • Vanadium
  • Batteries
  • renewableenergies

China and Russia are the two leading vanadium producers, with the Middle Kingdom producing 70,000 tons in 2022, more than 4 times as much vanadium as Russia. South Africa came in 3rd place with 3,000 tons. As a result, the metal has made it onto the list of critical raw materials in the US and Europe. In addition to common applications in steel production, catalysts and aerospace, the raw material is now coming into focus because of new vanadium redox batteries that can be used as energy storage devices and have a longer lifespan. The batteries are scalable, safer, and more environmentally friendly and can thus contribute to the energy transition. Commercialization is already starting, but vanadium is scarce.

Running out of fuel? BYD, Porsche, VW, Globex Mining - Metals in demand!

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility
  • Metals

In benchmarking, anyone who sees electromobility at the forefront cannot ignore a powerful battery. In the last 3 years, there have been no real leaps forward in development, but at least power compression in lithium-ion technology achieved a doubling of the range and, in parallel, also lowered the previously long charging times. This made an electric vehicle suitable for long-distance travel for the first time, even though faster discharge must be expected in winter due to non-engine services such as heating. But technological development continues, and BYD, as one of the world market leaders, sets technological standards. Which stocks are the favourites in the sector?

BYD with share price jump and sales figures: What are American Lithium and Tocvan Ventures doing?

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Electromobility
  • Silver
  • Gold

While the investor event at Tesla was eagerly awaited yesterday, the shares of competitor BYD were among the day's winners, with a price jump of over 5%. After the sell-off of the previous days, the share benefited, among other things, from good economic indicators in China. Operationally, there are also positive things to report. There is also good newsflow at Tocvan Ventures. The gold and silver explorer has completed a capital increase and presented promising drill results. The news flow should continue as the year progresses, and the share could celebrate a strong comeback. Investors are waiting for news at American Lithium. The recent sell-off seems to be over, and the stock is picking up again. When will the uranium IPO come?

Nuclear power, yes please! GoviEx Uranium, Rheinmetall, BYD, NIO - Important power for e-mobility!

  • Mining
  • Uranium
  • Defense
  • renewableenergies

Currently, 47 nuclear reactors in the Chinese pipeline are scheduled to come on stream within the next eight to ten years. In a global comparison, this puts Beijing at the top of the international planning list, followed by Russia and India. At last count, four nuclear power plants were under construction worldwide in 2020. In Germany, electricity generation from renewable energies continues to increase every year, while the electricity yield generated with the help of nuclear power continues to fall. This increases the costs for the German energy supply more and more, but the Berlin traffic lights are not interested in this. According to announcements by the German government, all nuclear reactors are to be shut down by April 2023 as part of the energy transition. What do investors need to pay attention to now?

BYD, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Battle of the drive systems

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility

In recent years, the debate about the future of mobility has focused heavily on conventional passenger cars. Yet it is commercial vehicles that are responsible for the majority of emissions. Here, the competition between electromobility and hydrogen as drive systems for trucks and vans is now moving into the focus of the discussion. While electromobility has been on the rise for several years, hydrogen is also gaining in importance as an alternative drive system. In contrast to batteries, fuel cell vehicles can achieve a significantly greater range with hydrogen. Another advantage of hydrogen as a propulsion system is the short refueling time. Today, we look at three companies that are taking different approaches.
