Defiance Silver Corp., BASF, Ballard Power - Precious metals drive renewable energy to peak performance
Silver is essential to booming industries and is characterized by high conductivity of heat and electricity. Defiance Silver Corp., a Canadian exploration company, has achieved the broadest and highest-grade mineralization to date in its drilling at the San Acacio project in Mexico. Results from 4 of the 6 drill holes confirm the promising potential in the Veta Grande area. Meanwhile, BASF is collaborating with a Chinese green shipping partner to deploy its onboard CO2 capture system for decarbonization. Ballard Power is considering just the opposite. The Canadian battery manufacturer has doubts about China being a reliable partner. The call for money in the form of government subsidies makes them hesitant.

Climate protection as an investment: BASF, Commerzbank, GoviEX Uranium
Fewer CO2 emissions, more climate protection. Every DAX-listed company is committed to more sustainability in some form or another. But what is the truth of these promises? And are the supposed climate shares a sustainable investment at all? We do the check and take a detailed look at three exciting stocks from different sectors and regions.

Turnaround stocks with a 300% chance do not come along every day - BASF, Defiance Silver and TUI
Whenever the stock market reaches new highs, investors look for lagging stocks. This is not so easy because a weak price performance has its reasons. But often, things are simply overlooked. We present three stocks with a good story to tell but have been left behind. BASF, Defiance Silver and TUI were conspicuously undercut. And amid all the turbulence in the financial system, silver is stealthily making its way upwards and easily overcoming the USD 25 mark. Watch out at the edge of the platform!

Buy or sell? TUI, BASF and Defence Therapeutics
BASF share a buy or sell? Analyst opinions on the chemical giant diverge widely. The DAX-listed company has just reported quarterly figures, but it did not provide clarity about the prospects. However, some speculate on a forecast increase. Analysts have not commented on TUI for quite some time. After the turbulence surrounding the capital increase, new impulses are being sought, perhaps through a deal with the German government? There is plenty of impetus for rising prices at Defence Therapeutics. The biotech high-flyer of the past months is increasingly positioning itself as a partner to BioNTech, Moderna and Co - and perhaps even a takeover candidate.

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?

Nuclear Power - No Thanks! E.ON, GoviEx Uranium, BASF - Questionable energy transition made in Berlin
Renewable energies are in focus! All well and good - Germany is repositioning itself. The focus is to be on hydropower, wind and solar energy. But these energy sources have little baseload capacity because hydroelectric power plants use "cheap" night electricity to pump water uphill, and reliable wind is probably only available offshore and not in the middle of Saxony. That brings us to the sun: On average, in our latitudes, it shines for about 146 hours a month, but in Alicante, it is 349 hours. Of course, large rooftop systems pay off for well-located households and one's e-mobile, but we cannot get a nationwide basic supply going with them. In the supply crisis, Berlin is relying on coal and gas power generation for now, but the much-touted climate neutrality is likely to be postponed to the next millennium. What should investors now keep an eye on?

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.

Watch out for these Greentech and battery stocks: Varta, Manuka Resources and BASF in turnaround
Tesla is currently considering building its own battery factory in the US. The Company wants to operate the plant itself, and the battery giant CATL is to contribute the latest technology. For Tesla, the Texas location would be a welcome addition to its assembly plant for electric vehicles. After the decision to phase out internal combustion vehicles in the EU from 2035, international pressure remains high to finally initiate climate change. E-mobility is seen as a pathfinder. Innovations are needed in the battery sector because the performance parameters are not yet convincing. However, there are many profitable conspicuous features for shareholders in the round trip through the industry.

BASF, Almonty Industries, Plug Power - The world is in upheaval
The Western world wants to break away from fossil fuels. These efforts have intensified since the Ukraine conflict. Europe, in particular, has realised how dependent it was on gas supplies from Russia. Globally, however, there is also a dependence on China for certain raw materials. This could be one of the reasons for the tensions between the USA and China, in addition to the conflict over Taiwan. The BRICS countries Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have moved closer together in the last year and want to establish their own currency. With Iran, Argentina, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Algeria, six more countries are interested in joining. The world is in a state of upheaval. Therefore, we look at three companies that are part of it.

Market failure! Highs and lows at BASF, Myriad Uranium, Vonovia
We all know efficient markets from the textbook. There, buyers and sellers always come together - and in the end, there is no apple left over. In reality, markets are highly complex and are sometimes dependent on external factors that can change everything overnight. Today we look at BASF's business in China, the real estate market and the emerging market for uranium.
