Altech Advanced Materials, Tesla, E.ON - Accelerators of the Future in Europe

  • Innovations

  • renewableenergies
  • Electromobility

Germany's automotive industry is in a state of upheaval. With an annual turnover of EUR 411 billion, solutions are urgently needed to drive electrification forward. E.ON, as one of the largest utilities, is investing billions in European infrastructure for this purpose. The Company is also increasing its dividend. Heidelberg-based Altech Advanced Materials is launching stationary battery storage systems on the market at the beginning of April. It has also published the results of the current feasibility study for its second pillar: a special coating for silicon battery anodes that ensures greater power and longevity. These are exactly the sticking points that customers have been complaining about so far. Tesla also relies on silicon batteries in its models. This week, Elon Musk visited the German plant in Grünheide, and has some good news in store...

E-mobility versus combustion engines: Tesla and BYD stumble, Mercedes-Benz and Globex Mining in Vogue!

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility

The Tesla plant in Brandenburg is discharging polluted wastewater into the canals. Permissible limits for phosphorus and nitrogen are exceeded by up to six times. Elon Musk has not yet reacted to the accusations, as he is busy planning the expansion of his production facility. If the authorities were to take action here, the plant could also be subject to a production stop until the harmful sources are eliminated. Once again, environmental protection and the climate debate clash with the self-interest of foreign producers seemingly not on the radar of existing EU regulations. The water debate is nothing new. Since the plant in Grünheide went into operation, local communities have had to contend with a drop in the groundwater level because the plant draws an impermissible amount of water. For those finding Tesla unsympathetic due to these issues, look for other opportunities in the automotive sector!

From record production to billion-dollar deals: Prospera Energy, Occidental Petroleum and Tesla in the spotlight

  • renewableenergies
  • Energy
  • Oil
  • Electromobility

The world is undergoing an energy transition, and pioneering projects in Saudi Arabia demonstrate the significant role of renewable energy. Energy companies like Prospera Energy are experiencing record production with over 1,500 BOE/D. Value appreciation and a focus on reserves make Prospera Energy an attractive investment candidate, especially given the rising global demand for oil and gas. Warren Buffett is backing precisely these types of companies, such as Occidental Petroleum (OXY). The planned acquisition of CrownRock for USD 12 billion promises a significant increase in sales for the oil and gas company. Berkshire Hathaway is, therefore, increasing its stake in OXY by 5.2 million shares. While Tesla faces challenges with its electric vehicle (EV) doors, BYD is outperforming in the global BEV market. The Chinese car manufacturer has already overtaken Tesla in terms of market share, recording a 68% increase compared to the previous year. The future of electric mobility could lie in Chinese quality and reliability and, above all, in oil and gas companies. Where is the next profit leap?

The IAA is just around the corner, and e-mobility is faltering - Where is the super battery? BYD, Tesla, Varta and First Phosphate in focus

Professor Ferdinand Dudenhöffer sees electric mobility on the decline. Despite the EU's ban on internal combustion engines from 2035, the switch to electric drive will take even longer than expected. In a recent interview, he sees the declining subsidies as of September 1 of this year as a possible showstopper. The reason: most purchases of e-vehicles are tax-motivated, and the increased interest rates have made expensive electric cars less competitive in leasing models. In addition, there are the technical limitations in safety, range and operating time compared to the mature, fuel-efficient combustion vehicles. So the challenge is to invent clean, efficient and safe battery technology. Where are the opportunities in this highly dynamic industry?

Hydrogen ahead of e-mobility! Nucera rises, Tesla falls - What are First Hydrogen, Nel and Plug Power doing?

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • renewableenergies

The complete renewal of the energy landscape is gobbling up trillions. While the EU wants to spend at least EUR 300 billion over the next 10 years on e-mobility, wind and solar power, there are now already many private investors jumping on the bandwagon. Joe Biden's Inflation Act includes, in addition to some social issues, the energetic renewal of the superpower USA, which has been purely fossil-fuel driven for decades. In the hydrogen sector, the profitable H2 subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Nucera has ventured into the market. With a capitalization of EUR 2.7 billion, a clean start has been made. It will be interesting to see how strongly the parent company ThyssenKrupp can profit from the revaluation of its subsidiary. We analyze the opportunities in the volatile hydrogen sector.

Winners in electromobility: BYD, First Phosphate, Leoni, Tesla

  • Electromobility
  • phosphate

Electromobility is unbearable. The US electric pioneer delivered 422,875 vehicles in the first three months of the year. This figure slightly exceeded analyst forecasts of 421,000 units. In the Gigafactory in Grünheide, 5,000 electric cars are coming off the production line every week, making about 250,000 per year. If Tesla has its way, there could be 1 million e-cars annually in a few years. But Tesla is not the only winner in electric mobility. BYD is also convincing in terms of sales, and analysts are raising the price target. More e-cars also mean more batteries. First Phosphate wants to profit from this. Once the current capital increase is completed, there is an opportunity to get in. A cable manufacturer should also be in a good position, but unfortunately, shareholders at Leoni face a total loss.

A 100% rocket launched - Who builds the best battery? Tesla, First Phosphate, BASF and Varta

  • Batteries
  • renewableenergies

The Tesla investor day is getting closer. On March 01, the eccentric visionary Elon Musk will again address his disciples, this time from the new Gigafactory in Austin/Texas. Analysts went into the presentation of the annual figures with cautious expectations because many negative rumors were surrounding Elon Musk's electronics company: Fewer sales? Cars on stockpile? It came as no one had expected. Elon Musk delivered and, at the same time, taunted all the shorties who wanted to push his stock below USD 100 before the end of the year. It was a big mistake because the Texans even exceeded the analysts' estimates, and then there was no stopping them. Up 100% in only 6 weeks, and Cathie Wood can celebrate success with her ARK funds again. But Tesla is not alone among the 100% movers.

Unknown and better than Tesla? BYD, First Phosphate, Varta

  • Electromobility

BYD wants to have sold a whopping 1.86 million cars in 2022. That is about 500,000 more than competitor Tesla. Despite this, Elon Musk's company is still considered an e-car giant. Why is that? Certainly, the focus on Western markets has to do with the fact that many investors from the US and Europe still favour Tesla. We look at why thinking outside the box can pay off and how it can help investors seize opportunities.

  • Silver
  • Electromobility

The Nel share has performed amazingly well in recent months. From mid-October to early February, it increased by around 70% to EUR 1.70. Since then, the stock has been taking a well-deserved breather. Will the rally continue? According to Goldman Sachs, the air is getting thin. But there is also positive news. There is also that of BYD. The Tesla hunter is building another battery factory, and analysts are raising their estimates after solid figures. Manuka Resources wants to present strong drilling results. For this purpose, a new drilling program near an existing mine has now been approved. In addition to gold and silver, high-grade copper deposits, zinc, and lead are expected. In addition, a complete reassessment is still possible.

In a true football thriller, the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated their opponents Philadelphia Eagles, just before the end of the game. But it was not just on the field that fans were treated to a spectacle. The commercials during the billion-dollar live broadcast were also eye-catchers, as they are every year. One Super Bowl commercial was a good fight against Tesla's "Full Self Driving" (FSD) mode. Software entrepreneur Dan O'Dowd invested a total of USD 598,000 in his "Dawn Project" campaign. According to its homepage, its goal is to make computers safer for humanity. In the case of Tesla's FSD installations, the campaign sees this as not guaranteed and even judges them to be life-threatening for other road users. From Tesla's side, the content of the commercial was described as "fake". Exciting to see how this case will turn out. We turn away from e-mobility and look at the opportunities for hydrogen.
