Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen - The battle for the battery of the future
The energy transition will not succeed without batteries, and electromobility cannot be implemented without them either. South Korea plans to invest USD 15 billion in the development of solid-state batteries for electric vehicles by 2030 in order to secure a long-term competitive advantage in the global market for electric vehicles. China is already the pioneer in electric cars and batteries for these vehicles. Experts in the American automotive industry fear a dependence on China for batteries and their raw materials. Since the automotive industry has embraced electromobility and the energy transition is being pushed forward faster, the field of battery development has become tremendously important. Therefore, today we will look at three companies dealing with this issue.

Attention in the battery sector: Varta in sellout, Mercedes, Power Nickel and IBU-tec with good prospects!
What a debacle for Varta! While many manufacturers worldwide are looking for clean battery solutions, things continue to go downhill for the company in Ellwangen. The linchpin of mobile electrification is the development of a super battery. The conventional battery market is dominated by the Chinese group CATL with a 38% share, followed by BYD. But there are also many smaller technology companies in Germany, such as Altech Advanced Materials and IBU-Tec, that are getting involved in the battery market. We go in search of sector highlights.

Correction in Greentech shares Varta and Nordex - Manuka Resources becomes a gamechanger
The goals of the climate protectionists are being delayed. With the Building Energy Act unlikely to arrive until 2025, the construction of the Tesla Gigafactory in Brandenburg will also be further delayed. Tesla has determined that the 300 hectares of factory space officially approved in 2022 is not quite enough. However, the latest planning for 400 hectares is meeting with resistance, especially from environmental groups. The municipalities are accused of planning chaos and failure to comply with environmental regulations. The climate-neutral future requires tremendous efforts because time is pressing. The stock market also seems to have run too far on many issues and urgently needs a break from its permanent upward trend. Pay attention to the following stocks.

Mercedes-Benz, Canadian North Resources, Varta - Shortage of battery resources
Electromobility and the energy transition are essential to creating a more sustainable future. However, we need raw materials such as copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium to achieve these goals. These resources are an obstacle for many companies. Therefore, car companies are trying to secure access to these scarce resources to secure supplies for their production. In some cases, they are even developing their own batteries. The best example is Volkswagen, which wants to build 6 battery factories in Europe. So today, we look at Mercedes-Benz, analyze a possible supplier with Canadian North Resources and conclude with Varta, Germany's largest battery manufacturer.

Nuclear off, secure energy now! Altech Advanced Materials, Varta and BYD - Up 700 % and no end in sight?
The nuclear reactors are now off! As though there was enough energy far and wide, the Berlin government ensemble decided to phase out nuclear energy. The reaction of the electricity suppliers followed immediately. On Monday, April 17, E.ON raised its electricity prices by 43%. Meanwhile, the coalition government cannot be deterred from suggesting to citizens that electricity prices will decrease in the long term. It will now be difficult for private households to behave in a climate-friendly way and still be able to consume. There are plenty of solutions for battery storage, but what is affordable and reliable? We take a look at an industry with a future.

Price-moving news at Nel ASA, Power Nickel and Varta
The first-quarter earnings season is currently at its peak. In addition to RWE, which doubled its quarterly profit, Deutsche Bank also reported further growth in profit. Surprisingly strong results were also reported from the second tier. As a result, there are interesting opportunities to enter the market, especially for stocks still lagging behind.

The batteries of the future: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen
Affordable e-cars that offer all the comforts and safety - even though many car industry commercials already sound like this, the reality is quite different. E-cars are still expensive, and the charging process forces travellers to take a mandatory break that is more or less relaxing, depending on their schedule. But technology is advancing. Batteries will soon be able to do much more than they do today. We introduce three companies that want to drive innovation.

Tesla, BYD and Volkswagen are all looking for the perfect battery. First Phosphate, BASF and Varta in focus
The battery is becoming the linchpin of e-mobility. As the batteries age, their performance diminishes, which will soon affect this technology's first buyers. Although there are fewer wearing parts on an electric vehicle than on a conventional combustion engine, the battery is one of the most expensive components. Therefore, its replacement is anything but cheap. Meanwhile, big manufacturers like Tesla, BYD and VW are working on the ultimate battery with increased power and range. Volkswagen is investing EUR 10 billion in a new gigafactory near Valencia. The sector is betting on the new mobility, and the industry is adapting accordingly. Which shares have their noses in the wind?

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

Significant upside potential - Varta, Manuka Resources, BASF
Undeterred by the geopolitical and economic uncertainties, the world's stock markets have so far only known the way up. The German DAX index even reached a new high for the year of 15,832 points. The precious metal gold and Bitcoin also reached new highs for the year. Despite the ongoing rally in the financial markets, there are still attractive entry opportunities in lagging stocks.
