The molecular revolution: Why A.H.T. Syngas wins where BASF invests billions and EQTEC paves the way

While policymakers preach electrification, practitioners in heavy industry know that process heat and chemical raw materials require molecules. This is where synthesis gas (syngas), an old acquaintance, is celebrating a spectacular renaissance. Syngas is the backbone of modern chemistry, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide without which neither fertilizers, plastics, nor synthetic fuels could exist. Market forecasts from research firms like MarketsandMarkets and Grand View Research paint a similar picture: the global syngas market is expected to grow at high single- to double-digit rates through 2030, expanding from several dozen billion US dollars today to a significantly larger market. Three parallel developments are currently taking place in this gigantic growth market. While chemical giant BASF validates the demand and EQTEC proves the large-scale feasibility, German technology specialist A.H.T. Syngas Technology (A.H.T.) is disrupting decentralized applications. We analyze the market and the key players.

Forget the automakers: Deutsche Telekom, RE Royalties, and BASF are the new anchors for your income in 2026

The message sounds promising: EUR 52.9 billion for shareholders. But those who rely on the familiar dividend stars could be in for a nasty surprise in 2026. While global distributions are crawling along and growth has halved to 2.7%, a quiet power shift is taking place in portfolios. Former dividend kings, like the automakers, are hitting the brakes, while banks and financiers are setting the pace. For investors, this means paying closer attention. A closer look at Deutsche Telekom, RE Royalties, and BASF shows where the real opportunities for 2026 might lie.

Siemens Energy shares - Sell? BASF and American Atomics in the AI energy boom!

  • Uranium

Will Siemens Energy shares soon reach EUR 200? Looking at the reaction of the stock market and analysts, there can be no doubt about it. The record-breaking figures published have further fueled the euphoria. The energy hunger from the AI boom is ringing the cash registers. American Atomics also wants to profit from this in the future. While gas-fired power plants currently seem to be the first choice for data center operators, the industry is betting on nuclear energy in the long term. American Atomics plans to mine and enrich uranium directly in the US. Incidentally, France is also heavily committed to nuclear power. One of the largest electricity consumers in Germany is BASF. The high energy prices in Germany are challenging the industrial giant, prompting it, among other things, to expand operations to India.

Megatrend decarbonization: CHAR Technologies in the lead, BASF and Evonik stumbling?

  • decarbonization

Rising prices, security of supply, and ambitious climate targets are shaping the energy transition. Energy has become a strategic resource. CHAR Technologies converts biological waste into long-lasting carbon products such as biocarbon or biochar, which permanently bind carbon and remove it from the natural carbon cycle. The Canadian company is thus addressing several megatrends at once. Energy-intensive industries such as chemicals have recently been able to breathe a sigh of relief, as the EU appears to be planning to issue free emission allowances for longer than predicted. Nevertheless, the challenges remain considerable. Which companies will ultimately convince investors?

BASF under PRESSURE! BUY RECOMMENDATIONS for BioNTech and WashTec shares!

  • carwash
  • Technology
  • chemicals
  • Biotechnology

Market leadership, increased efficiency, dividends, and share buybacks - all good reasons to buy WashTec shares. Analysts at M.M. Warburg share this assessment. Their earnings estimates for the coming years may even be too conservative. Unfortunately, nothing about BASF is conservative; rather, it is disappointing. The chemical company has once again failed to meet analysts' forecasts. Its strong free cash flow is based on lower investments, which is also not a good sign. How are analysts reacting? BioNTech is facing a groundbreaking year. Analysts see potential for share price growth. News from the bulging product pipeline is likely to have a significant impact on the share price.

Antimony shock for Airbus and BASF: China's export restrictions make Antimony Resources a strategic winner

  • chemicals
  • Defense
  • CriticalMetals

2025 will go down in economic history as the year when a largely unknown semi-metal sent global industry into a state of alert. Antimony, long overshadowed by popular battery metals such as lithium and cobalt, suddenly emerged as one of the most strategically critical and supply-constrained metals. Aggressive export restrictions imposed by China, which historically controlled over 80% of global processing capacity, have put Western supply chains under significant pressure. What market observers refer to as the "antimony shock" is no longer a theoretical threat, but a harsh economic reality. According to industry analyses, market participants were already talking about significant supply deficits in 2025 – estimates are in the high five-digit ton range. We analyze the market and present a potential beneficiary.

Return opportunities in 2026: A.H.T. Syngas Technology, BASF, Siemens Energy – Hidden potential here!

  • Energy

Renewable energy remains an attractive and structurally driven investment trend. The Paris climate targets and the commitment of many countries to climate neutrality by 2050 are increasing political and regulatory pressure. In addition to pure energy generation, availability, costs, and the production of energy directly at the point of demand are increasingly becoming the focus of industry and investors. Stocks such as Siemens Energy, which are benefiting from strong and sustained growth trends, performed brilliantly last year. Second- and third-tier companies positioned in promising segments, such as A.H.T. Syngas Technology, have so far received little attention from the market. Analysts believe the stock has significant catch-up potential. How can investors best position themselves?

The critical resource: How Antimony Resources protects Rheinmetall and BASF from shortages and why it has upside potential

  • Mining
  • antimony
  • CriticalMetals
  • chemicals
  • Defense

Without antimony, there would be no flame retardants, modern electronics, or precision ammunition. However, the global availability of this critical metal is increasingly under threat. This is yet another sign of the comprehensive raw materials crisis that is forcing entire industries to radically reorganize their supply chains. It is precisely here, where a triad with enormous potential is emerging: Antimony Resources' access to the source positions itself as a potential supplier to Rheinmetall and BASF, who depend on this indispensable material. We take a closer look at the three companies.

Second hydrogen wave with Linde, BASF, dynaCERT: Why 2026 will be the year of truth

fundamentally from the hype cycles of 2020 and 2021. Back then, enthusiasm was driven largely by visionary PowerPoint presentations rather than real-world progress. The transition to 2026, however, marks the start of a new industrial reality. Investors who have followed the sector for years now recognize a clear shift in market dynamics - one based less on hope and more on regulatory certainty and technological maturity. As Der Aktionär correctly notes, a new tailwind is emerging for industry. We explain what improved framework conditions and the market launch of large-scale plants in Europe could mean for the shares of Linde, BASF, and dynaCERT.
