The US election fever is boosting stocks! Mercedes, VW, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lufthansa and TUI are all incredibly cheap!
The stock market is booming! While the NASDAQ has established itself with P/E ratios above 30, the German stock market shows historically low valuations. Europe is in crisis, which is depressing valuations. As a result, international funds now have an overwhelming share of US stocks. For example, the well-known MSCI World: 72% of the index comprises US stocks, with the "Magnificent Seven" now accounting for around 20% of the list. For investors who are invested in these stocks, it has been a long celebration – but right before the US election, it also poses a significant concentration risk. It may be time to rethink, take profits from the top stocks, and consider a value-oriented portfolio with single-digit P/E ratios.

Altech Advanced Materials, McDonald's, Volkswagen - Innovation and crisis resilience open up lucrative investment opportunities
In the current economic situation, investors are presented with promising opportunities in companies that stand out due to their innovative strength and skilful crisis management. Particularly attractive are companies that invest countercyclically in research and development and thus emerge from crises stronger than before. Altech Advanced Materials, with its innovative battery technology, shows how companies can tap into new market opportunities through research and development. McDonald's, on the other hand, is struggling with a food safety issue that requires rapid crisis management to restore consumer confidence. Volkswagen has to deal with the consequences of a personnel scandal in its most important foreign market, China. We take a look at the details.

Volkswagen and Bayer with problems – 123fahrschule, on the other hand, with great growth potential
As the German economy undergoes a profound transformation, traditional industries are facing significant challenges. Giants like Volkswagen and Bayer are experiencing difficult times with shrinking margins and structural changes. Volkswagen, Europe's leading automaker, is struggling with falling profits in its core brand despite high group earnings and is planning rigorous cost-cutting measures that could jeopardize jobs. Similarly, Bayer is being forced to make extensive job cuts and reorganize. However, in the midst of these crises, new opportunities are also emerging: companies like 123fahrschule are using innovative strategies to thrive in the education sector. Today, we take a closer look at these three companies.

The DAX is on a high, with potential for 100% gains in turnaround stocks like TUI, Lufthansa, 123fahrschule, BYD, and VW!
Despite geopolitical uncertainties, slow economic growth, and still high inflation, the market outlook is improving. It is important to remember that stock markets look 6 to 9 months ahead. Expectations are growing that inflation will significantly decrease, and interest rates will likely drop. The central banks are increasingly under pressure due to the sluggish economy. After months of a tech rally, the focus is now turning to lagging stocks. In the automotive sector, we are looking at VW and BYD, and the tourism sector is also picking up again. The digitalization expert in the German driving school sector, 123fahrschule SE, also appears highly promising. Each of these stocks has the potential to deliver more than 100% gains over the next 24 months. Here is our analysis.

Top stocks performance check: Plug Power, Nel ASA, Altech Advanced Materials, VW, and BYD
A fierce battle has broken out in the automotive market. Habeck is considering reinstating the 2023 environmental subsidies due to a sharp drop in electric vehicle sales, but important market shares have already been lost. In the area of energy transition, Germany is progressing slowly, while nuclear energy is experiencing a global renaissance. Fortunately, innovative concepts are repeatedly emerging from small and medium-sized companies that are helping advance Germany as a business location. While hydrogen continues to play a peripheral role, Altech Advanced Materials has now launched the first prototype of a sodium chloride solid-state battery. For dynamic investors, this presents an explosive environment with extraordinary return opportunities.

Volkswagen, First Hydrogen, Lufthansa – Future Technologies for Transport in Focus
The monumental task required to convert entire industries to renewable energies is clearly taking shape. This week, the who's who of the German automotive industry came together for a virtual auto summit. Volkswagen is sticking with hybrids, while politicians want to make the e-vehicle more appealing to citizens. However, the proper infrastructure is lacking. The future could look quite different for the hydrogen market. First Hydrogen is a commercial vehicle supplier that wants to revolutionize the logistics industry with its hydrogen van. The outstanding range of the so-called FCEV, reaching 650 km with only one refuelling, demonstrates that this technology can be far more promising than battery-electric vehicles. Lufthansa customers are realizing that environmental protection costs money. On the one hand, the Company wants to charge fuel surcharges in the freight business, and on the other hand, flight connections are to be reduced in order to withstand the price war with competitors. We provide the details.

Environmental funding is back, now 100% with e-mobility stocks! VW, Mercedes, Prismo Metals, BYD and NIO
E-mobility has become a political issue in Europe because, despite the punitive tariffs imposed, thousands of new vehicles reach the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Hamburg every week. Prices are up to 30% lower than comparable EU models. Due to the current sales crisis, the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs visited the crisis-ridden VW Group. There, he assured that he wanted to help and promised new funding for electric vehicles. However, it is not that simple because subsidies require the approval of the EU. This week, Habeck has been invited to the crisis summit of the automotive industry. This could represent the turning point for the struggling automotive industry. Valuations in the sector are at their lowest in years. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Commerzbank, Prismo Metals, Volkswagen - Interest rate decision winners and losers
The European Central Bank has cut interest rates for the second time this year, and the US will likely follow suit. This means pressure for banks but a positive outlook for precious metals. However, this could be a huge opportunity for the beleaguered automotive industry: Cheaper financing for consumers makes car loans more attractive and leads to rising sales figures. Lower interest rates could rev up the car manufacturers' engines and get the industry back on track. We will therefore take a closer look at Commerzbank, a precious metals and copper company, and finally, Volkswagen.

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?

Rheinmetall and Saturn Oil + Gas are making money - What is next for Volkswagen?
The stock market is a place of constant change. For a long time, Volkswagen was regarded as one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, while Saturn Oil & Gas and Rheinmetall led a somewhat shadowy existence. At times, it was not even possible to buy shares in defense companies through some banks. However, the tide has turned. The companies from Düsseldorf and Canada are now making a lot of money and have developed very well. In contrast, Volkswagen, a big name in the automotive industry, is currently struggling with serious problems. In our article, we shed light on what these developments mean for investors and examine what opportunities and risks exist.
