Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Nikola - Hydrogen on the rise
With the development towards a clean and efficient logistics industry, hydrogen is gaining importance as a forward-looking energy carrier. Continuous innovations in fuel cell technology and storage systems are making it increasingly competitive. This technological progress, coupled with government incentives to expand the necessary infrastructure, is paving the way for widespread adaptation in the logistics sector. Pilot projects are already validating the practical suitability and paving the way for more extensive implementation in the logistics sector. Recently, there have been positive signals from the three hydrogen companies we are looking at today.

Bitcoin and Stromer need the energy transition! BYD, Edison Lithium, Nikola - Is it time to buy low?
Despite recent declines in electric mobility, the development of traction batteries is breaking new ground. Sodium is under discussion to replace toxic lithium. The new technologies also mean that cobalt and nickel are no longer required. Former lithium companies are changing their business models, but the raw material will still be urgently needed for at least another decade. We are looking at a market that is about to change course. Where do the opportunities lie for agile investors?

BYD, Edison Lithium, Nikola - Electromobility continues to advance
The German government's decision to stop the environmental bonus has caused a drastic decline in new registrations of electric cars in Germany. After almost 55,000 battery-powered vehicles in December, the number dropped to 22,500 in the first month of the year. According to ADAC, citing data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, the percentage share of electric vehicles in total new registrations plummeted from 22.6% to 10.5%. By contrast, the situation outside Germany looks considerably more positive. Around 1,120,000 new registrations were registered in the US in 2023, representing a growth of 54%. China remains by far the largest market, with 6.66 million electric vehicles sold, and the growth curve continues to rise at 24%.

BYD, First Hydrogen, Nikola - Mobility in transition, which shares have long-term potential?
The mobility landscape has changed drastically in recent years. Traditional internal combustion engines are increasingly being replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives such as electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells. These changes will also have far-reaching implications for transportation, altering how we move. Which technology will prevail? We look at three companies with different approaches to the topic and assess which companies are well-positioned for the future.

Hydrogen bull market ahead? Are Nel, Nikola and First Hydrogen shares ready for entry?
This year's sell-off in shares related to the energy and mobility transition sectors is tempting investors to enter. This is because the market trend remains positive. For example, the promotion of hydrogen in the US and Europe has taken concrete shape. The EU, Norway and the UK alone want to multiply electrolysis capacities from the current 143 MW to 138 GW by 2030. So, it should only be a matter of time before the next hydrogen boom. Robert Campbell is also confident, stating: "We are entering a renewables supercycle." This comes from the CEO of First Hydrogen at the International Investment Forum. The Canadian company is developing hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles and is approaching a significant event. At Nel, the focus is on the upcoming quarterly figures, among other things. Can the Norwegians perhaps surprise? Nikola has reported a milestone, but the stock has given up almost all of its gains from the summer.

Nikola, Klimat X and BYD make significant steps forward
The current stock market year has so far been one to forget for companies in the Greentech industry. Whether hydrogen, wind or solar energy, the still mostly loss-making hopefuls have not yet been able to deliver on their lofty goals for a climate-neutral world. However, the potential in the coming decades is enormous. According to experts, the trade in CO2 certificates alone is expected to increase eightfold by 2030.

Nikola, Saturn Oil + Gas, BASF - A Buy in difficult times?
These are challenging times on the stock market. Central banks have not announced the end of interest rate hikes, which is poison for growth companies. In addition, extreme weather conditions are affecting the production of some companies, and there are geopolitical tensions to consider, including the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the simmering dispute between the US and China. Recently, there have also been tensions between China and Germany. Following critical statements by Foreign Minister Baerbock to China's Xi Jinping, the German ambassador was summoned. Energy shortages are becoming increasingly significant for many companies in Germany. Today, we look at three companies suffering from the problems described.

Make a return instead of sitting on the sidelines! Nel ASA, Desert Gold or Nikola Motors - Who belongs on the buy list?
Despite the bull market, the hydrogen sector is feeling the global investment slump, not to mention precious metals. Once again, the US Federal Reserve has issued warnings on the inflation front, but this time, after 11 consecutive hikes, it has not turned the interest rate screw. The refinancing rate remains at 5.5%, but the accompanying wording has greatly unsettled the markets. Capital market rates shot up, reaching a whopping 4.55% for 30-year US Treasury bonds - the highest level in 10 years. We take a look at values that have fallen sharply. Where can adequate yields be expected?

Disappointments and surprises: Nikola, Plug Power, First Hydrogen
Hydrogen and electromobility are megatrends. But not all shares from these sectors deliver what they promise. Nikola has recently disappointed. After the share price multiplied in June and July, it halved in August. And now Nikola has shocked shareholders again. Investors have also been unhappy with Plug Power in recent months. The hydrogen specialist just cannot get a handle on its margins. Is there hope for both again after the recent sell-offs? In contrast, First Hydrogen has surprised on the upside. A customer is enthusiastic about the test of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Will a major order follow now, along with a rediscovery of the stock?
