Who benefits, who suffers? The raw materials crisis in e-mobility: BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen
The future of mobility is being decided in the battery factory. Innovative battery cells promise longer ranges and lower costs, but the road to getting there is marked by a fierce race for scarce raw materials and technological supremacy. This tension between disruptive progress and geopolitical risks creates unique opportunities for companies that navigate the transformation strategically. Today, we take a closer look at how BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen are currently positioning themselves.

Volkswagen in a tight spot: Why European Lithium and Standard Lithium are now the more valuable players
The global electric vehicle revolution is facing its biggest test yet. China's looming export restrictions on critical battery raw materials threaten to destabilize Western manufacturers' supply chains from 2025 and increase production costs. But it is precisely these geopolitical tensions that are catapulting independent lithium producers into the spotlight. While established giants are fighting for their security of supply, agile players are benefiting from this power vacuum. The strategic maneuvers of Volkswagen, European Lithium, and Standard Lithium reveal who the real winners of this upheaval will be.

Gerresheimer, dynaCERT, Volkswagen – Exciting developments!
News drives prices. However, the pendulum can swing in both directions. For informed investors, the correct interpretation of events is crucial. Often, this then leads to lucrative entry and exit signals. Gerresheimer was the latest to be hit, but which stock could be next? However, there are also stocks that are due for a realignment, offering opportunities for rising prices.

German-Canadian raw materials alliance: Graphano Energy, Volkswagen, Magna International
February 1, 2025, came as a shock to many Canadians. On that day, US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and repeatedly suggested the country could become a US state. In response to these trade barriers, Canada sought to reduce its dependence on the US. An obvious partner is the EU. The two economies already entered into a strategic raw materials partnership in 2021. In this article, we explore the prospects for joint supply chains for electric vehicle batteries and highlight which companies stand to benefit.

Rethinking energy! Siemens Energy, First Hydrogen, VW, and BYD for the winning portfolio
For a long time, it seemed that nuclear energy was disappearing from the global energy mix, but now there are clear signs of a change of course. The US, in particular, is pushing for a restart. The government has adopted an ambitious plan to quadruple nuclear power capacity. The focus is on small modular reactors (SMRs) - compact reactors that can be used in decentralized locations, are considered efficient and safe, and can also be built more quickly than conventional large-scale power plants. In addition to their role in domestic energy supply, SMRs are considered an important export product for allied countries looking to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. At the same time, they offer the possibility of being flexibly combined with renewable energy sources, such as supplementing solar and wind farms to ensure base load capability. E-mobility also depends on a secure power supply. Which companies are attracting the most investor interest?

How Volkswagen, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex aim to conquer the trillion-dollar energy transition market
Electrification is driving an unprecedented demand for raw materials. Lithium, cobalt, and rare earths are the new oil - essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and our climate-neutral future. But global dependencies and trade conflicts threaten to disrupt supply chains. Those who secure strategic supplies will dominate the transition. Today, we look at three companies that are benefiting from the energy transition – Volkswagen, Power Metallic Mines and Nordex – and analyze their current situation.

Buying frenzy – Indices are heading upward! Another 150% possible with Palantir, European Lithium, VW, and BYD
The NASDAQ and DAX 40 indices are basking in sunshine. A veritable buying wave is sweeping across tech stocks, especially Palantir Technologies. The share price continues to rise, driven by an almost irrational demand for AI and outstanding business performance. At the same time, short positions on this stock are rising sharply to over 50 million shares - a warning sign of potential short-covering scenarios. There is currently no sign of the typical summer slump. On the contrary, the stock markets are climbing from one high to the next as if the tariff decisions were a blessing for the global economy! In contrast, BYD is experiencing weaker-than-expected sales performance in July. Quarterly figures are down, and the stock is coming under considerable pressure. There is also plenty of movement in the commodities sector, as the US seeks stable supply chains. But where can these be found?

Penny stocks with multiplier potential: Volkswagen, CATL, Pasinex Resources
The whole world is talking about critical metals. Base metals are falling through the cracks a little in the short term. But it is definitely worth considering base metals like zinc from an investor's perspective. After all, they are called "base" metals because they are urgently needed across many sectors and consumed on a large scale. According to the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), zinc is the fourth most mined metal in the world. What sounds like abundance is not the case. The International Zinc Association reports that annual zinc consumption will increase by around 700,000 tons by 2030. It is questionable whether supply can keep pace. Stocks like Pasinex Resources could benefit from this imbalance thanks to a unique business model.

This could be explosive for e-mobility! Watch out for BYD, Pasinex Resources, VW, and Mercedes
The latest quarterly results from the automotive sector have led to further disillusionment. High costs, ever-changing technological requirements, and stricter regulations are leading to declining margins. For two years now, Chinese manufacturers like BYD have been making weekly deliveries by ship to the affluent EU market. Initially highly praised and selling several thousand units quickly, everything now appears to be stalling, as huge stockpiles are suddenly piling up. Investors should keep a close eye on developments. Anyone thinking about modern batteries, for example, cannot ignore the critical metal zinc. Here are a few ideas for your portfolio.
