Batteries are the solution to the climate dispute! Varta and BASF explode, while BYD and Power Nickel step on the gas!

  • Mining
  • Nickel
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies

After months of losses, battery-related stocks are in high demand again. Varta and BASF are leading the way with up to 50% gains! Varta is delivering initial results from its restructuring efforts, reigniting investor enthusiasm. The China market leader in e-mobility, "Build Your Dreams" (BYD), has also made decent gains since its spring weakness. The Canadian company Power Nickel is preparing to supply the battery market with high-grade nickel. Which share should be preferred now?

Nucera IPO boosts Greentech shares: Varta, Manuka Resources, BASF and ThyssenKrupp on the buy list

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • renewableenergies
  • GreenTech

Many companies have set themselves the goal of contributing to offsetting man-made emissions and combating climate change. One proven means is gradual decarbonization, for example, in the energy-intensive heavy industry sector. The IPO of ThyssenKrupp's hydrogen subsidiary, Nucera, is important from this perspective because the newly raised funds will be used to advance green steel production. It is a German project that could set an international precedent. We take a deeper look into an emerging sector.

Blackout! Energy shares urgently sought: Plug Power, Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - Solar, wind or hydrogen?

  • Batteries
  • renewableenergies
  • Energy

Now things are becoming clearer. Germany is unlikely to experience an energy shortage like a blackout, and gas supplies for the winter also seem secure, given a 20% drop in gas consumption compared to the average figures from 2018 to 2021. However, household prices remain significantly above the long-term average. Currently, energy suppliers are not passing on the purchasing advantages from the Leipzig power exchange to their customers. Wholesale gas prices have fallen by 85% since mid-2022, but these lower conditions are not reaching customers. What opportunities are there for resourceful investors?

New record prices every day, but where is the perfect battery? Varta, First Phosphate, Volkswagen in focus

  • Commodities
  • Technology
  • Rare Earth Elements
  • Battery Metals
  • E-Mobility

Without the next evolutionary step in traction batteries, it will probably be a long time before e-mobility can replace the combustion engine market. Short service life, limited flexibility and high production and disposal costs stand in the way of an economic approach, even if the red-green government likes to downplay these facts. In the end, politics has also failed to provide electricity in an appropriately "sustainable" manner and at an affordable price. Therefore, anyone who wants to promote ecology through politics must ensure that electricity prices are halved, and all currently required fossil components are eliminated from the energy mix. Otherwise, the enlightened consumer may revert to purchasing fuel-efficient internal combustion engine vehicles, even if they eventually have to import them into the EU at some point. Where are the opportunities for dynamic investors?

More than 100% with energy storage! Varta and Plug Power curious, BYD and Power Nickel mix up the battery sector!

  • Mining
  • Nickel
  • renewableenergies
  • Electromobility

There you go! In the last trading week, Varta and Plug Power turned up the heat and posted a price gain of almost 20%. After a long sell-off, this is the first technical rebound of the Fallen Angels. Long-term investors are wondering if there has been a fundamental change. Momentum traders are not interested in balance sheets, because rising prices attract buyers. We look at the shaken energy storage sector. Are there arguments for a buyback?

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Freyr Battery - Different Outlooks

  • Electromobility
  • Battery
  • Renewable Energy

The continuous development of batteries plays a crucial role in the success and efficiency of renewable energy and electromobility. Batteries are a key element that can effectively store electricity from renewable energy sources and retrieve it when needed. Several companies have taken on the development of innovative systems. However, the results vary widely.

ThyssenKrupp, Power Nickel, Varta - Is nickel becoming scarce?

  • Mining
  • Nickel
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies

Nickel is a versatile metal that plays an important role in various industries. One of the largest applications of nickel is in stainless steel production, where it provides hardness, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. Nickel has also always been a crucial factor for batteries. Since the rise of electromobility, the metal has gained even more significance. Due to its ability to store high energy densities, it contributes to improving performance. Using it in the cathode achieves higher capacities and longer lifetimes, which is essential for electric cars. Given the growing trend towards electromobility, nickel is becoming an important raw material for the energy transition.

Caution with TUI and Varta! Smartbroker Holding with 85% price potential!

  • Investments
  • travel
  • renewableenergies
  • Batteries

At around EUR 6, the TUI share is trading at an all-time low. Is now the time to buy into the tourism group? One analyst warns against it and believes the share price could fall by a third. Caution is also advised with Varta. The former German battery hopeful is fighting for survival. Analysts halve the price target and recommend selling the share. And the shareholders' association SdK is also sounding the alarm. A total loss cannot be ruled out. Instead of catching a falling knife, focusing on shares in an upward trend, such as Smartbroker Holding, is worthwhile. The share is one of the current year's high flyers, and analysts believe further price increases of over 80% are possible. Thanks to the new app, EBITDA could increase more than tenfold.

Analysts euphoric - Varta, First Phosphate, Freyr Battery

  • Mining
  • phosphate
  • Batteries
  • renewableenergies

Battery technology has made significant progress in recent years. Companies are investing heavily in research and development to create batteries with a more extended range, faster charging time and longer life. However, with the growing interest in electric vehicles, the demand for raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and phosphate is increasing enormously. The existing supply is already reaching its limits due to the high demand. Profiteers are the producers of the scarce goods.

Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen - The battle for the battery of the future

  • Batteries
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies

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.
