Hydrogen losing, oil stocks gaining: Plug Power, Shell and Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil + Gas
Hydrogen is considered the future, but is it too early for pure-play stocks to enter? Companies like Plug Power and Nel are expected to continue posting substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Both are valued in the billions, and both will likely have to carry out a capital increase before they reach break-even. By contrast, oil companies are earning brilliantly. Shell prioritizes margin over revenue, which is winning over analysts. Similarly, Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil & Gas is receiving praise from analysts. Their performance in the second quarter was slightly above analysts' expectations. Will the Canadians soon pay a monster dividend?

Is the breakthrough coming? BYD, Plug Power, dynaCERT share in check
Shares related to the energy and mobility transition have not had it easy in recent months. But will the autumn bring a liberation blow? The negative sentiment could be a good contraindicator. BYD recently published convincing figures. However, analysts foresee fierce competition in the coming years. Plug Power has recently seen its price targets plummet. Does that mean the worst is behind us? At dynaCERT, the AEM electrolyser for green hydrogen is becoming a big seller. More and more industrial companies are testing it. Now, green hydrogen is also expected to contribute to green steel production in Canada.

Plug Power, Almonty Industries, JinkoSolar - Will the doubler come after the Crisis?
Currently, there are several hotspots of crisis around the world. There is the war between Russia and Ukraine, the efforts of the BRICS countries to free themselves from the supremacy of the US dollar, and the smoldering dispute between the US and China. Relations between the latter have deteriorated in recent years, partly because the US fears growing Chinese influence. However, the BRICS nations are blessed with raw materials that the West desperately needs. The list of critical metals is long. This is also true for Europe, which has had an energy problem above all since the Ukraine conflict. Efforts are being made to solve this. We have picked out one company from each of the various focal points.

DAX consolidates, Artificial Intelligence stutters and Hydrogen in rebound? Plug Power, First Hydrogen and Nel ASA in focus
The summer has so far not brought much joy to the bulls on the international markets. After a strong NASDAQ performance of plus 30% at the beginning of the year, the tech index is increasingly facing rough waters. Not even the solid earnings of the AI giant NVIDIA could prevent the 1,500-point correction since early July. The German benchmark index DAX 40 also plunged from 16,529 at its high to below 15,800 points. Chart technicians point to the critical zone of 15,450 to 15,650, which the market could approach in the next few days. This is where the continuation of the bull market since September 2022 will be decided. A brief look at the hydrogen sector provides clarity.

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?

Plug Power, JinkoSolar, Altech Advanced Materials: Only one share is strong
The stock market is currently on shaky ground. In such times, it is worth considering stocks that show relative strength. Which renewable energy company falls into this category? Hydrogen specialist Plug Power disappointed again with its latest quarterly figures. And now analysts are also losing patience. In contrast, JinkoSolar has increased its half-year profit by over 300%. However, the shares of the Chinese solar group are trading lower than they have in a long time. The shares of Altech Advanced Materials - also listed on XETRA since July - are among the German stock market stars of 2023 with a plus of 250%. But is there more in store? After all, the Company aims to revolutionize the battery market and even outshine the new Tesla battery.

Hydrogen scams and hard facts: Nikola, Plug Power, First Hydrogen
The somewhat macabre story behind a dead cat bounce is quickly explained: When a stock rises rapidly after a long sell-off, investors from the bear camp often refer to it as a dead cat bounce. The underlying idea is the somewhat tongue-in-cheek saying that even a dead cat would bounce off the ground if dropped from a great height. The best example of such a dead cat bounce is currently shown by the share of the hydrogen specialist Nikola. While investors are discussing the Company from the US, a success story is emerging in the background around a second-tier company.

Commerzbank, Viva Gold, Plug Power - What is next for the markets?
While the FED will probably take a break after its last interest rate hike to 5.5%, the ECB could be forced to turn the interest rate screw further, as inflation is only slowly declining. From May to June, the inflation rate in Germany climbed to 6.4%, only to fall back to 6.2% in July. The banking crisis seems to have been overcome after the turbulence between early February and mid-March. An end to the interest rate hike could have a positive effect on the gold price. Another catalyst is the meeting of the BRICS countries on August 22-24, which could decide on a new gold-backed currency. For growth companies, higher interest rates are poison as borrowed money is now much more expensive. We have selected one company from each segment.

Plug Power, dynaCERT, Varta - Optimistic about the future
Amid global efforts to meet climate targets, renewable energy has established itself as the centerpiece of the energy transition. Since the beginning of the decade, listed companies in this sector have felt a tailwind fueled by billions in subsidies from policymakers. But the current horizon is cloudy. Unexpected delays and deep red figures dominate the scene. Nevertheless, drastically lower market valuations could open the door to potential long-term returns for investors.

Clean energy clearly in buy mode! Plug Power, Siemens Energy, Regenx Tech, Nordex - Clean returns instead of summer blues!
The energy turnaround will be challenging, as is now well-known in Berlin. Those who wish to completely abandon fossil energy supply must make significant investments in the future. Alternative technologies for energy generation are already on the horizon, but the implementation up to the grid connection is complicated and requires resources. Unfortunately, the anticipated reduction in CO2 savings will only materialize after more than 15 years of operation, so the expected positive environmental scenario is also a long way off. It is also evident that high-quality and rare raw materials must be transferred to a circular economy, as their availability is limited. Where are the opportunities for investors in the long process of energy rebalancing?
