BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, BMW – The Battle Between China and Europe in the Automotive Industry
The competition between Asian, especially Chinese, and European car manufacturers is intensifying, especially in the electric vehicle sector. China has overtaken Germany as the largest vehicle exporter, and brands like BYD dominate with technological advantages and lower prices. European manufacturers are under pressure and are responding with measures such as possible punitive tariffs and increased competition. At the same time, they are investing in research, development, and strategic partnerships. We look at the current situation of car manufacturers and present a company that could revolutionize the e-mobility market.

Caution: The next commodity rally boosts Globex but brings higher costs for VW, BMW, and BYD!
The price of copper exceeded the USD 9,000 mark again in September, and future prices remain stable above the USD 9,400 mark. This makes it clear to high-tech manufacturers and producers of alternative energies that the desired electrification will cause significantly higher costs than anticipated. Despite the global economic stagnation, commodity prices remain high. This is mainly due to the general increase in operating costs in mining operations. Energy, material, and personnel costs have seen the most significant increases in over 30 years since 2020. Major consumers of industrial metals, in particular, are now having to dig deeper into their pockets. For some, this is feasible, but for mass producers such as Volkswagen or BYD, this means increased pressure on margins. Where are the opportunities for investors?

100% gains with auto stocks! BYD and dynaCERT are already on the launch pad. Are VW, BMW and Mercedes low enough yet?
Growing market shares through progress and innovation. While Chinese e-mobility is vehemently pushing into Europe, local manufacturers face a strategic dilemma. After all, combustion engines are currently still in demand, but what will things look like in 10 years? European car manufacturers currently have to pursue an expensive dual strategy in order to generate revenue. This means that they must not lose pace with developments in the electric vehicle sector while the combustion engine business continues to run at full throttle. While BMW will start series production of fuel cell cars in 2028, the Canadian hydrogen specialist dynaCERT is already in full swing. Where are the opportunities for resourceful investors?

BMW focuses on hydrogen! Takeover (fantasy) at BYD, Nel and dynaCERT
BMW recently sold more electric vehicles in Germany than Tesla. However, the Munich-based company does not want to rest on its laurels and is working on various propulsion systems - including hydrogen! BMW plans to intensify its collaboration with Toyota on fuel cells, demonstrating that hydrogen technology remains in demand among global giants. This also fuels the takeover fantasy at Nel. Could the same be true for dynaCERT? The Company's hydrogen technology reduces emissions in diesel vehicles, and the new CEO has strong connections in Europe. And what is BYD doing? So far, the German market has not been fully penetrated, but now the Chinese company is looking to make a significant push.

Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW
The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.

E-mobility boom 2024, when will the German vehicle market take off? BYD, Edison Lithium, VW, BMW
The last word in e-mobility has not yet been spoken. While BYD is leading the sales list worldwide, Tesla is struggling with important supplier parts and has had to halt production temporarily. German manufacturers have used the last two years to catch up on technical backlogs and are preparing to score points in the "electric world", too. Last year, buyers were offered a state environmental bonus on top, but this was cancelled before Christmas. Now, the market has to prove that it can survive with fewer subsidies. Where are the opportunities for investors?

BMW celebrates battery technology, BYD is coming to Europe, and Power Nickel offers a 100% opportunity!
News from the world of electromobility: BYD is putting pressure on European car manufacturers and wants to start production in Europe soon. But where? Saarlouis seems to be losing the competition for the first Chinese location in Europe. There are new indications of this. BMW, on the other hand, is celebrating its new battery technology, aiming to achieve more range than Tesla while significantly reducing costs. But what do analysts have to say about the Munich-based automotive group's shares? Experts see over 100% upside potential for Power Nickel shares. The Company is developing a high-grade nickel project in Canada and plans to produce it in a climate-friendly way. Will the new resource estimate boost the share price?

E-car skepticism and charging station farce: BMW, BYD, dynaCERT
"Is it wise (…) to promote only this one technology without having access to essential battery raw materials?" BMW CEO Oliver Zipse recently expressed a somewhat critical stance towards electromobility in an interview with Handelsblatt. While BMW plans to launch the 'New Class' electric vehicles from 2025 onwards and take the lead in technology, even the BMW CEO acknowledges the strong competition from China. Let's look at what the automotive future could look like and where opportunities may be lurking.

AI reaches the old economy - Here is where it is happening now: Airbus, Star Navigation Group, BMW
Companies like Tesla and BYD have an advantage over BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and others thanks to their software. However, German industrial companies are increasingly hopeful they can catch up with the competition. The solution is Artificial Intelligence (AI). BMW and other companies aim to use software developers more efficiently and shift into high gear despite the shortage of skilled workers. There are also signs of an AI revolution in aviation. The mission: to reduce costs and increase safety. We look at what is at stake and how private investors can profit.
