Supply Chain Collapse in Battery Raw Materials: Why Panasonic, Porsche, and Others Are Increasingly Dependent on HPQ Silicon's Silicon Technology
While the majority of investors are still focused on fluctuating energy prices, experienced investors have long been positioning themselves in the niche market of advanced silicon anodes. The reason is clear: traditional graphite anodes are reaching their performance and capacity limits in electric vehicles—particularly in the premium segment. Anyone aiming to enable driving ranges of well over 500 km combined with ultra-fast charging for spontaneous long-distance travel will ultimately have to rely on a shift in cell chemistry toward high-purity silicon. However, since the industrial-scale production of this raw material relies on an extremely energy-intensive, environmentally harmful supply chain that is almost entirely controlled by China, global market leaders like Panasonic are under pressure to reorganize their supply chains. This is precisely where the innovative company HPQ Silicon could become highly relevant.

Is Gold Headed for USD 10,000 as a Survival Strategy? Caution Advised for TUI, Lufthansa, DRC Gold, and Porsche
What do Ed Yardeni, Chris Wood, and Thomas Kaplan have in common? In recent months, all three have mentioned a USD 10,000 price target for gold. Mr. Yardeni, founder of Yardeni Research, sees a global debasement of currencies and believes this target could be reached between 2028 and 2029. Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at the research firm Jefferies, considers a five-digit valuation for the yellow metal possible within about five years. His reasoning includes a structural bull market, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing central bank purchases. Finally, Thomas Kaplan of the Electrum Group also regards this target as realistic if gold is rediscovered as a monetary reserve. All of these arguments are understandable, though whether such a scenario will actually materialize remains uncertain. However, many of the factors cited are already evident today. We therefore look beyond the immediate horizon, broadening our view to include tourism and luxury goods - sectors that currently stand somewhat in the shadow of surging gold prices, yet remain no less interesting.

Is the industrial heart of Europe dying? Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, AJN Resources
Uncertainty in Germany is greater than ever: Increasingly, companies in the automotive industry are cutting jobs. According to industry experts at EY, around 51,100 jobs were lost in the automotive industry within a year, corresponding to around 7% of all jobs. Companies in other sectors are also making cuts. Most recently, Lufthansa also laid off staff. This bad news is accompanied by a worrying mood of doom and gloom among the German population – especially in the traditionally wealthy southwest of the country. In this article, we explain how the industrial giants Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are faring and why more and more investors are turning their attention to gold stocks as a result.

Auto crisis in Germany – Here is the solution: European Lithium, BMW, and Porsche
Fear is spreading through the German automotive industry. The latest figures from Porsche and BMW have been poor. Sales figures in China are collapsing, and tariffs on exports to the US are eating into profit margins. At the same time, buyers remain cautious when it comes to electric vehicles – whether due to the uncertain economic situation or the lack of convincing models, which are also quite expensive. The fact is that the German auto industry's next steps must be in the right direction. Those who invest in time could benefit in the long term. We explain the role lithium from Europe will play in the future of the automotive industry.

First Hydrogen, BYD, Porsche - Two newcomers challenge the old guard
Germany is establishing itself as a pioneer in hydrogen mobility with an ambitious 9,700 km hydrogen network and 17 specialized hydrogen centers. The Company First Hydrogen is taking advantage of this momentum and is positioning itself in the German market with its field-tested commercial vehicles at exactly the right time. With an impressive range of 630 km per tank fill and successful fleet trials in the UK, First Hydrogen is making strides. At the same time, Hungary is developing into a strategic hub of European e-mobility. With BYD and BMW setting up operations and the battery manufacturer CATL investing EUR 7.3 billion, a major center for electromobility is emerging here. Once the undisputed star in the automotive sky, Porsche is experiencing a decline in revenue of 5.2% to EUR 28.56 billion and is struggling with a falling operating return. The important Chinese market, particularly, is causing concern for the Stuttgart-based company, where sales figures fell by a third in the first half of the year.

First Hydrogen, Delivery Hero, Porsche - New markets, new challenges, and optimistic analysts
The markets are on the move. Delivery Hero is charging its B2B customers in South Korea to pay more to cushion a potential fine of three million euros. While food is delivered by bicycle in urban areas, there are numerous delivery services that deliver goods to their customers by van. Whether Amazon, Hermes, or DHL, innovations are urgently needed here, as purely electric vehicles can usually only handle short distances. First Hydrogen could be the answer. The Company is developing emission-free vehicles for logistics that can cover 630 km on a single fuel tank. First Hydrogen is thus positioning itself as an innovative player in the still-young hydrogen market. Porsche, on the other hand, is struggling with declining sales figures, particularly in China. However, analysts remain optimistic, thanks to a positive margin trend and another decisive factor.

Porsche, First Hydrogen, Mercedes-Benz: Which shares offer growth potential in the transformation phase towards clean energy?
The German automotive industry is facing drastic changes, one of the biggest transformation phases in history. The "Green Deal" is forcing car manufacturers to completely overhaul their requirements and supply chains. Porsche announces the introduction of hybrid drive in its popular 911 models, and the Macan is set to be offered entirely as an electric vehicle. However, CEO Blume links the transition to an important condition. Forecasts by McKinsey show that clean hydrogen will account for a significant part of the global energy supply by 2030. In this context, First Hydrogen is playing a decisive role in the development of zero-emission transportation solutions. First Hydrogen is developing emission-free vehicles and green hydrogen production in Vancouver, Montreal and London. In partnership with AVL Powertrain and Ballard Power Systems Inc., the Company is working on hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles with a range of over 630 km. Around 8,000 Mercedes-Benz employees in Germany are currently experiencing the fact that the green transformation can be painful. We provide the details.

The 2024 share rocket without e-funding - BYD, Defense Metals, Porsche and Volkswagen
With the supplementary budget 2023, the fate of the e-funding was sealed. On December 16, the purchase premium hammer came down in an "ad hoc announcement" from Berlin: The funding of up to EUR 4,500 for the purchase of a new e-vehicle has expired with immediate effect. This was announced by the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). The deadline for applying for the funding ended on December 17, 2023, meaning that e-mobility is now a thing of the past. Only the reduced tax rate under the company car scheme and the general exemption from vehicle tax remain. Consumer advocates are complaining about the unequal treatment of different mobility concepts that have prevailed for years, and the Federal Constitutional Court will likely have to deal with this issue in due course. Time for investors to rethink - where are the opportunities in the investment year 2024?

E-mobility - Tesla in crisis! BYD, Almonty Industries, Mercedes, Porsche - Who is the best performer in 2023?
The year 2022 ended with a sell-out at Tesla. Not that the shelves for Tesla vehicles were ransacked - no - the Elon Musk share advanced to the negative leader in the car performance list with a 70% loss. First, there was the egocentric's Twitter takeover, which could only be contested by sales in Tesla shares. Then many funds followed the downward trend, selling heavily until just before Christmas. The news of the construction of a Tesla infrastructure in Turkey helped the stock to a quick revival at the beginning of the year. But who has the best cards among automotive stocks in 2023?
