Hydrogen – hope or hype? BMW, BASF and dynaCERT
Hydrogen was long hailed as the next big thing for the stock market. But now, disillusionment is setting in. The latest example: energy company RWE has withdrawn from a USD 10 billion green hydrogen project in Namibia. RWE cited sluggish demand in Europe as the reason for its decision. This development illustrates that while the hydrogen era is on the horizon, practical hurdles remain. For investors, the focus is shifting to transitional technologies that are already helping to reduce emissions. In this article, we examine three very different companies, BMW, BASF and dynaCERT, and explore how they are positioned between vision and reality.

Serbians don't want mines – Are Europe's battery supply chains at risk? BYD, BMW and European Lithium
A recent article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reveals that the vast majority of Serbians oppose lithium mining in the country. The Journal for International Politics and Society cites a survey according to which 55% of Serbians are against a lithium mine in the Jardar Valley – only 25% are in favor of it. The latest media report paints an even bleaker picture. According to the report, the various population groups in Serbia have rarely been as united as they are in their opposition to the mine. But what does this mean for European battery supply chains? Which companies will be penalized, and which will benefit? We analyze the situation.

Auto crisis in Germany – Here is the solution: European Lithium, BMW, and Porsche
Fear is spreading through the German automotive industry. The latest figures from Porsche and BMW have been poor. Sales figures in China are collapsing, and tariffs on exports to the US are eating into profit margins. At the same time, buyers remain cautious when it comes to electric vehicles – whether due to the uncertain economic situation or the lack of convincing models, which are also quite expensive. The fact is that the German auto industry's next steps must be in the right direction. Those who invest in time could benefit in the long term. We explain the role lithium from Europe will play in the future of the automotive industry.

More than 100% price gain! Volkswagen, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium! Comeback for EVs and lithium!
Lithium shares are staging a comeback - without much attention. Standard Lithium's share price has already more than doubled in the current year. The US-based company is delivering strong news. European Lithium has also performed well recently. And for good reason: not only is the Company developing a large project in Europe, but it also has access to rare earths in Greenland. Will this soon make it a partner of the EU in building up a strategic reserve? After all, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes need more and more batteries. While BYD and Tesla are currently struggling, German manufacturers are celebrating a comeback in the electric vehicle market, at least in Europe.

TAKEOVER WAVE in ARMAMENTS and LITHIUM? Hensoldt, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium
Is a takeover wave coming after the stock surge in the defense sector? Hensoldt's CEO has spoken out in favor of a consolidation of the industry in Europe. He plans to actively shape this process while also hiring thousands of new employees. At the same time, analysts advise selling Hensoldt shares. The share of European Lithium, on the other hand, is recommended for purchase. The Company is supporting BMW in its "Neue Klasse" and thus in the fight against competitors such as BYD. Trading has been suspended for days due to pending drilling results. There is also something going on at Standard Lithium in the US. Is the white gold on the verge of a comeback?

Watch out! VW and BMW are turning, Benton Resources is stepping on the gas, while Nordex and Siemens Energy are on the sidelines
For the German economy, a 180-degree shift in economic policy is needed to stop the ongoing migration of industries abroad. However, this requires signs of a consistent refocusing on burning issues, which neither the parties with a claim to the government nor the opposition can really present. International investors have refocused on European markets at the beginning of the year, as reforms are expected. The premature praise for Donald Trump has generated new highs in the US, but now the NASDAQ seems to be running out of steam. Germany, as the laggard in terms of economic growth, offers very low valuations that have rarely been seen for longer periods. We highlight some opportunities.

Bull's eye in 2025: Nuclear energy and hydrogen! Watch out for Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Mercedes and BMW
The production of hydrogen using nuclear energy is seen as a promising way to create a flexible energy carrier in a climate-neutral manner. Especially in areas where renewable energy sources are insufficient or a continuous power supply is required, hydrogen demonstrates its strengths. The carbon footprint of hydrogen from nuclear energy is comparable to that of renewable sources such as wind and solar since nuclear power plants operate almost emission-free. Unlike wind or solar energy, nuclear power can generate electricity around the clock because it is not dependent on weather conditions. This helps to avoid so-called dark doldrums, such as the one recently experienced in Germany on Friday. In countries such as France and Japan, nuclear energy is already considered an option for hydrogen production to advance the decarbonisation of industries. Which stocks are coming to the fore as a result?

BUYING RECOMMENDATION and DISCOUNT BATTLE! Nel ASA, BMW, Volkswagen, ARI Motors
"If you don't offer an e-vehicle for under EUR 20,000 by 2025, then I'm afraid you will fail," said the current Minister of Economic Affairs, Robert Habeck, to the then-Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess in 2019. Such a vehicle is still missing from the lineup of traditional German carmakers - but now ARI Motors delivers. The Company is already succeeding with an electric pickup. The valuation is favorable, and analysts see more than 300% upside potential. Is BMW sparking a price war? The premium manufacturer has enough problems already. Can a new manager bring a breath of fresh air? Meanwhile, Nel shares are sending a sign of life. Will the order for pink hydrogen turn things around?

Traffic light disaster brings new opportunities for e-mobility: VW, BMW, ARI Motors, BYD and NIO
The traffic light coalition has broken down – so right before left applies! In addition to the Berlin disaster, a relentless struggle has long since broken out in the automotive market. Habeck, for example, wants to get the environmental subsidy back in 2025 due to a sharp drop in electric vehicle sales, while important market shares of German industry have long since been lost. Germany is making only hesitant progress in the area of energy transition, while nuclear energy is experiencing a renaissance worldwide. Fortunately, innovative concepts are repeatedly emerging from medium-sized companies, driving Germany forward as a business location. With a new, forward-looking industrial policy, Germany could regain its leading position. For dynamic investors, this is an explosive environment with extraordinary opportunities for high returns.

Hydrogen 3.0 is coming – Where to get on board now? Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Plug Power, BYD, and BMW
Despite new highs in all major indices, hydrogen stocks are performing poorly. This is because preferences vary widely among countries in the global "net zero" discussion. Topics such as nuclear energy or even nuclear fusion are being discussed, while sales in the e-mobility sector are declining rather than increasing. Assuming that, at some point, the world will once again approach the issue of climate change with an open mind regarding technology, hydrogen technology has a clear place among the green alternative solutions. There is still a cost problem and a lack of courage to move forward faster. However, experienced stock market players know that after a 90% price loss, the sell-off will eventually end. The first signs are evident.
