BYD overtakes Volkswagen! Do Manuka Resources and Varta benefit from battery demand?

  • Mining
  • Vanadium
  • Electromobility
  • Batteries

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

  • Mining
  • Electromobility
  • Lithium
  • Nickel
  • Commodities

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?

  • Batteries
  • Electromobility
  • GreenTech

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
  • phosphate

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.

Winners of the supercycles - Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, BYD

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • armaments
  • Electromobility

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

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Batteries
  • Electromobility

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.

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.
