Traffic light madness! The turnaround at BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Nordex and Siemens Energy
The traffic light coalition departs – and the economy breathes a sigh of relief. Key future topics such as the energy transition, e-mobility and the energy storage market now have good prospects. With a redefinition of industrial policy in Germany, confidence is returning to small and medium-sized companies. With a constant stream of new regulations, high energy costs and excessive bureaucracy, the failed coalition had many things in mind – but not the economic well-being of Germany. A murmur is going through the fragile industrial complexes with the announced new election. We expect a surge of innovative ideas, especially in the areas of energy security and mobility. Check your portfolio!

BASF, F3 Uranium, Super Micro Computer – Affordable energy is the key to corporate success
The huge appetite for energy at BASF, particularly for chemical production, must be met, as must the rapidly increasing demand for electricity from data centers using artificial intelligence. Renewable energies cannot yet fully meet this demand, as demand in the field of AI is likely to increase significantly in the coming years. Nuclear energy is an attractive option here, as it provides stable, large quantities of CO2-free energy and could thus efficiently serve both BASF and the increasing demands of AI data centers.

50% upside potential and more! TUI, BASF, Saturn Oil + Gas
Is BASF a buy after the strategy change? Yes, say the analysts at DZ Bank. The dividend cut is considered the right move, and the stock has around 20% upside potential. Analysts see more than 50% upside potential at Saturn Oil & Gas. The Company was recently named the fastest-growing oil company in Canada for the second time. It is rare to see such a growth champion also praised as a value play, making the stock worth a closer look. And what about TUI? The stock is struggling with the EUR 7 mark, but Deutsche Bank sees upside potential.

Barrick Gold, Prismo Metals, BASF - Precious metals as a safe haven in a crash
Last week, the indices recorded a noticeable decline on Thursday and Friday. The Fear and Greed Index is approaching a state of extreme fear, indicating that market sentiment is dominated by uncertainty and panic. In such times, investors often flee to safe havens, such as precious metals, while selling almost all other assets. This shift can lead to further turbulence on the markets and demonstrates how strongly emotions and risk behaviour influence events on the financial markets. We therefore take a closer look at two precious metal companies and analyse BASF, a stock that has been hit harder by the crash.

Averting power outages, starting the battery revolution! BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, and VW
Varta is undergoing a complete restructuring and reorganization, likely leaving legacy shareholders empty-handed. The back and forth since 2023 has given the German SME sector an increasingly unsettling look. The environment is challenging, and only the strongest will survive the looming storm. Traces of Habeck's poor planning can also be seen in the energy transition. Instead of fully utilizing renewable energies, six new gas-fired power plants are now being planned, which will, of course, be powered by hydrogen. This draws investors' attention back to battery storage systems, as they are needed to successfully store surplus energy. Where do the opportunities lie for resourceful investors?

70% with Evotec shares? Caution with BASF? Almonty Industries tempts investors to get in!
Will BASF miss market expectations in the second half of the year? Analysts believe so. The chemical giant's revenues are already expected to fall in the second quarter. So, should one sell the shares now? The Evotec share was bought yesterday. Analysts believe that the profit warning from Sartorius should not be overestimated and see over 70% upside potential. However, patience is required. The Almonty Industries share also appears too favourable. The commissioning of a huge tungsten mine is imminent, and not only companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor and Rheinmetall need the critical metal for their high-tech products. So, when will the share break out?

Energy transition with the battery revolution! BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Siemens Energy and BYD
And once again, Nvidia! The NASDAQ continues to set the pace. In addition to good figures from the corporate sector, hopes of an imminent interest rate cut are currently providing a boost. This should happen as early as June. Despite persistent inflation figures, the financial community believes that the Fed should prevent or at least mitigate the impending downturn in the US economy by making loans cheaper. This is grist to the mill of the long-term bulls in the tech sector. As a result, the NDX reached a new all-time high and only just missed the next thousand mark at 18,996 points. Commodities, especially battery metals, are now also bullish. This is shifting the focus of potential alternative technologies for the lithium-ion standard. Which stocks in this sector are attracting attention?

Discount battle over: Commodities on the counter-offensive! Rheinmetall, Power Nickel, BASF and Varta in focus
Since the bombing of Israel by Iran, the clocks are ticking differently in the Middle East. The next stage of escalation has been reached. If Israel now uses the right to defense as an opportunity to initiate something bigger, it is here: the conflagration. Gold and silver are shining as safe-haven currencies and pulling long-neglected commodity shares through the roof. Now is the time to keep the sails in the wind and ride the long-awaited upward momentum. In the energy transition, strategically safer jurisdictions that can safely serve the growing hunger for commodities are still in demand. We highlight a few opportunities.

+100% and more with momentum stocks: AIXTRON, BASF, Exasol
Surprise! BASF shares have gained around 25% since mid-January. And the momentum could continue. Analysts see further upside potential. But there are also skeptical voices. In contrast, the Exasol share has only just taken off. The German AI hopeful has reported orders, the share has left the downward trend, and management is buying. Analysts believe the share could perform by more than 100%. At least it is certainly not expensive. Investors in AIXTRON are still waiting for the upward trend. Speculation has stalled the share price recovery for the time being. However, there are also optimistic voices from analysts.

BASF shares on the upswing, BioNTech sees breakthrough in cancer, and Defence Therapeutics benefits from study
Can BASF shareholders look forward to better times? One analyst is certainly hopeful. He believes that the chemical industry will recover in 2024. However, the price target gives pause for thought. The development of cervical cancer is also concerning. According to a new study, the number of cases has risen sharply in recent years, and with it, HPV infections. Accordingly, more HPV vaccines are urgently needed. The market volume is expected to more than double to over USD 15 billion in just a few years. Defence Therapeutics aims to become a profiteer. The biotech company is fighting cancer with its Accum™ platform. BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin also believes that humanity will get cancer under control, thanks in part to artificial intelligence. The Company is currently working on 30 cancer therapies. Is it a good time to invest now?
