Almonty Industries, ThyssenKrupp, Varta - Earning from growing tungsten demand

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • renewableenergies

In 2021, 79,000 metric tons of tungsten were mined worldwide from existing mines. In 2015, production was still 89,400 tons. One might think that demand has declined and production has been cut back, but the opposite is true. According to the British Geological Survey report, demand will increase between 3% and 7% per year and will soon exceed available supply. But now, demand could increase significantly in the short term because US Department of Energy DOE researchers have found a way to charge electric cars in 15 minutes. This involves using a molybdenum tungsten niobate alloy as the cathode material instead of graphite. So we take a look at three companies around tungsten.

Sharp price movements at Uniper and Varta, E.ON and Tocvan Ventures on the launch pad!

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • Energy

The Federal Network Agency reports this week that German gas reserves will be sufficient for 9 to 10 weeks. According to Adam Riese, this means that without new supplies, a bottleneck would be imminent from mid-February. Gas buyers are still hoping that European partners will support our supplies accordingly. In the winter months, however, they will need a large proportion in their own countries. Therefore, we are entering this winter with question marks, which has now returned with the first snow. In the current environment, some stock movements appear with special movements, for example, the 100% rally of the state-owned company Uniper.

Batteries: The new premium class - BYD, Almonty Industries, Varta

When it comes to everyday products, we all have clear ideas about prices. For a long time, the EUR 2 mark, for example, was considered an average price for a piece of butter. But as soon as it becomes more expensive, it is worth a headline in a newspaper with big letters. It is a different story with cars or other high-quality products. Thanks to high-quality workmanship and technology, customers are willing to pay more than the actual market prices. In economics, the difference between the high price and the market price is called producer surplus. We present three companies that want to skim off this producer surplus.

When news moves prices, chart analyses and analysts' assessments are invalidated in one fell swoop. Today, momentum is building for the hydrogen stock dynaCERT. The reason: The Company, together with its new distribution partner, has announced deliveries to renowned mining groups. Among them are Vale, Nexa Resources and Antamina, one of the ten largest mining companies in the world. Is this a breakthrough for HydraGEN™ technology? We shed light on the exciting situation surrounding dynaCERT and also use the examples of MorphoSys and Varta to explain how investors can react when everything suddenly changes.

COP27 shares sought: BASF, Infinity Stone, Varta, VW - Billions for the energy turnaround!

The meeting of the heads of government in Egypt was proclaimed as a COP27 climate conference, but most of the representatives arrived in a somewhat environmentally hazardous manner with specially ordered aircraft. It can be seen on the Internet on the fringes of the important conference, and climate activists have therefore turned their eyes very strongly in the direction of the prominent participants. Different sources report between 300 and 600 planes around Sharm el-Sheikh airport. What a farce. The word "energy turnaround" seems to have been greatly overused in the public eye since the beginning of the war at the latest, so a coherent implementation of the proclaimed goals should also take place at the very top. The industry, meanwhile, has picked up the ball and is making rapid progress. Which shares can gain traction in the process?

Plug Power after the horror numbers, and what are Varta and Altech Advanced Materials doing?

  • Batteries
  • Electromobility
  • Investments

Climate change, high gas and oil prices and the dependence on "difficult" energy suppliers: There are many reasons why hydrogen and electromobility are among the undisputed topics of the future. Accordingly, shares from these sectors are popular with investors. Plug Power is one of the favorites. The Americans have disappointed (again) with their latest quarterly figures, but the share price is still rising, and analysts are also positive. Battery specialist Altech Advanced Materials is also currently doing well. The cooperation with Fraunhofer in the field of solid-state batteries is taking shape. Varta, on the other hand, is currently working on bottoming out, but analysts advise selling.

Varta, Kleos Space, ThyssenKrupp: Wrongly valued? It cannot be!

What a wild ride! The US technology exchange NASDAQ fell by a full 33% in the last 12 months, while the German standard share index DAX fell by only 16%. That is astonishing because the leading German index usually reacts disproportionately to the US growth stocks. Ultimately, however, it is becoming clear that foreigners dominate German share prices. After all, if the euro's currency losses are considered, both indices are back on par. The euro has, after all, also depreciated by 15% since a year ago. Some high-tech stocks in Germany lost significantly more than average. We take a closer look.

Microsoft is the leader in PC operating systems, and phones without buttons are the absolute standard. We look at three stocks and analyze where today's castles in the air could become tomorrow's Cash Cows.

The great race to catch up: Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - Who will build the best battery?

  • Batteries
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies

The first major city in Germany is getting serious. From February 2023, diesel-powered vehicles in the Euro 4 emissions class will no longer be allowed to be used within the inner ring in Munich. This is a big step, as around 140,000 motorists will be affected by this exclusion. In the future, these drivers will have to park their vehicles at the city limits in order to use public transportation to get to the city center. This will have far-reaching consequences for businesses and restaurants, as on-site purchases of a larger nature will become extremely inconvenient for the owners of these vehicles. Politicians are betting everything on e-mobility, but what about developing powerful and environmentally friendly batteries?
