The big turnaround 2024: Hydrogen with Nel, Plug Power, ThyssenKrupp Nucera and dynaCERT
While the DAX 40 and NASDAQ indices are climbing to new all-time highs, hydrogen stocks are sinking further and further into the ground. But there is hope! With the exception of the OPEC states, around 200 countries have spoken out in favor of phasing out fossil fuels at the COP28 Climate Conference in Dubai. This should give the signatory governments a good opportunity to restart their state subsidy programs in favour of alternative energies in the coming year. Now is the time to re-examine the battered sector. Nel ASA and Plug Power have recently reported declining order volumes, while dynaCERT and Nucera are performing well operationally. We are looking at a sector that has the potential to gain several hundred percent in 2024.

After the COP28 Climate Conference: Hydrogen, solar or oil? Plug Power, Nucera, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar in focus
It could have gone better! The COP28 Climate Conference in Dubai is over, the results sobering for many, for others within the realm of expectations. While large parts of the world are calling for a stricter approach to reducing fossil fuels, the countries in the Gulf region want to continue their successful business model of the last 150 years. Oil is not going out of fashion, and its production will continue to be abundant and delivered to buyers through various channels. Hydrogen and solar energy, like wind power, are essential energy sources, but they will not replace existing structures; at best, they will supplement them. Even nuclear energy, which has been widely frowned upon, is now seen as a climate solution by countries such as Poland, France and Finland and is being drastically expanded. Where are the opportunities for investors?

COP28 a toothless tiger? Nel ASA, Klimat X, Nvidia, and Plug Power in the climate change check!
Another earth-shattering climate conference is behind us. The outcome was as sobering as it was predictable. Around 200 countries were able to agree on measures to reduce fossil fuels, but the Gulf states insisted on their right to continue the business model of oil and gas production that has been successful for decades. This makes it clear that the availability of fossil fuels will continue on a large scale because the BRICS states, such as Russia, China, India and Brazil, will continue to exploit their fossil resources unabated. Incidentally, international conflicts only work with fuels and not with battery-powered drives. So, if you consider the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East with their accompanying environmental destruction, there is no need to invent bans on European diesel vehicles. However, there are a few glimmers of hope for a greener future...

Star investor Buffett bets on oil: BYD, Plug Power, Shell, Prospera Energy
While the world was watching the Dubai Climate Conference, Warren Buffett invested in oil. The star investor increased his stake in Occidental Petroleum to 27% via Berkshire Hathaway. There is also the possibility of increasing the stake in the US oil company to 33%. The move came after Occidental shares had lost 20% in just a few weeks. This anti-cyclical move is typical of Buffett and shows that oil stocks like Shell are exciting. A similar turnaround story to Occidental is Prospera Energy. Things are expected to get interesting for the Canadian oil producer next year. This is likely also the case for BYD and Plug Power. Chinese companies want to attack the Japanese market, among other things. Like so many hydrogen companies, Plug Power has to address the question of the profitability of its business model.

Rock Tech Lithium, Klimat X Developments, Plug Power - Which GreenTechs have potential?
GreenTech companies have become increasingly important in recent years as they focus on developing and disseminating technologies that promote environmental protection. One example of this is lithium refinement, which is required for the production of batteries for electric vehicles. Another crucial topic is CO2 certificates, which companies can purchase to offset their emissions. Hydrogen technology is also becoming increasingly important, as it is seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. We have selected a candidate from each sector and are examining their potential.

Climate conference and Venice turns green! Oil remains in demand; goodbye hydrogen? Nel ASA, Prospera Energy and Plug Power in Focus
Too little, too slow, too half-hearted! Climate activists in Italy have drawn attention to themselves with a spectacular campaign. The "Extinction Rebellion" group members painted the famous Grand Canal in Venice fluorescent green. Some activists abseiled from the Rialto Bridge over the central canal of the northern Italian lagoon city on Saturday afternoon and poured dye into the water. Their action was intended to protest against the "ridiculous progress" made at the COP28 World Climate Conference in Dubai. "We are tired, we have had enough of being taken for fools by our governments and knowing that our future is in danger while politicians do nothing," they said in a statement to the press. How do we tackle the energy issues of the future? A look at selected energy stocks paints a clear picture.

Infineon, First Hydrogen, Plug Power - Opportunities upon opportunities in decarbonization
Once again, 2023 was a stock market year to forget for companies in the renewable energy sector. Share price falls of around 70% for market-leading companies were the rule rather than the exception. However, decarbonization is underway, demand is rising, and the potential is huge. As a result, there are tremendous long-term opportunities for disproportionately high share price gains in selected stocks.

Snow chaos and climate madness, who is playing in the Premier League of the energy transition? Nel ASA, Power Nickel and Plug Power under the microscope
Snow chaos and new record highs. While the DAX 40 demonstrates itself as the world's best blue-chip index, the German economy is currently navigating downward. It is not the earnings outlook that is presently driving share prices but the hope of lower interest rates. Meanwhile, the endless climate debates in Dubai continue. Among realists, however, there must be fears that the local oil lobby will not let a German know-it-all put a stop to the lavish margins with fossil fuels. There will, at least, be a friendly Arab nod to the 2050 climate goals and exclusive indulgence for the high-ranking German delegation. Whether this justifies federal expenditure of more than EUR 50 million is something we will leave uncommented. More important is a look at the top titles of the upcoming energy transition - where is the next 100 percenter lurking?

More than 30% with Plug Power, Siemens Energy, and Globex Mining! What is next?
Is the Plug Power share about to triple? Despite being one of the disappointments of 2023 along with Siemens Energy, both shares have risen in recent days. And analysts see further upside potential. The price target for the hydrogen specialist, in particular, is surprising. On the other hand, Globex Mining is performing well operationally throughout 2023. The shares of the mining incubator from North America have gained over 30% in value this year, outperforming commodity giants such as Barrick Gold. The Canadians' recent transaction shows that the business model has potential and is appealing to investors.

DAX on record course, hydrogen sell-off! Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel ASA and Daimler Truck on the test bench
The DAX is soaring because most investors expect interest rates to fall. Based on the assumption of slower growth, investors are again focusing on cyclically sensitive stocks at the turn of the year. According to the expectation curves for ECB and FED interest rates, the first downward adjustments are already expected in Q2. The key factors here are the slight fall in inflation and the central banks' desire to cushion the potential downturn. Despite all the euphoria, the desire to buy is currently bypassing the hydrogen sector. Representatives of the sector are the stock market losers of 2023. Is there still a possibility of a quick rebound in 2024? We do the math.
