Raw materials are the key to new technology. Whether silver, copper or other metals - many technologies, such as electric cars and solar panels, drive demand for metals. As these technologies triumph, so does the demand for raw materials. Using three stocks as examples, we explain how investors can profit.

    JinkoSolar: Where will it go from here?

    The JinkoSolar share is a real hot potato - in a positive sense! In the past three months alone, the stock has climbed by an impressive 47%. The reason is the great demand for solar modules and the good products of JinkoSolar. The Company scores high on both durability and efficiency. Both are points that are important to potential buyers of solar modules. The third factor is price. Here, too, the world market leader JinkoSolar is perfectly positioned. We remember the price war around solar modules about ten years ago. At that time, more and more German companies slid into bankruptcy. The reason: The Chinese were simply cheaper. At the end of this price war and the concentration of suppliers in Asia, JinkoSolar is the winner.

    With demand for solar panels continuing to grow, the Company is perfectly positioned. Despite the recent price gains, the stock still has some room to run. From EUR 55, however, the value could increasingly encounter resistance. Whether JinkoSolar will reach the EUR 74.10 mark from last year again so quickly is questionable. The Company is well-positioned, but the stock is also known for its volatility.

    Barsele Minerals: A plan - 18 months to go

    Barsele Minerals is another volatile stock. The Company partnered with mining giant Agnico Eagle to develop the Barsele project in Sweden. Barsele holds 45% of the project and Agnico Eagle 55%. A letter of intent now allows the young Company from Canada to take over the entire project. Barsele would have to raise CAD 45 million, and Agnico would have to sign over a 14.9% stake in its shares. In addition, there would be options to buy a further 6 million shares at CAD 1.25 per share. Agnico Eagle believes in the project's success and is convinced that it is better off with Barsele Minerals. The young Company plans to drill 30,000 meters over the next 18 months and upgrade the project to make it easy for Barsele to finance the complete takeover.

    The Barsele project represents promising gold deposits within an attractive infrastructure in northern Sweden. Sweden itself is a sought-after mining location and shines with corporate taxes of only 22%. In addition, the high environmental standards of the country meet the desire of many investors for sustainably mined raw materials. Since Agnico Eagle has entered into a letter of intent, which provides for a large part of the payment for the project in shares of Barsele Minerals, investors can take this as a sign of confidence. Currently, the stock is trading at CAD 0.75. There is still a lot of air until the exercise price of the options to be granted to Agnico Eagle with a strike price at CAD 1.25. Key data around Barsele looks promising. Investors should have the value on their radar.

    Newmont: Is Europe becoming attractive for the giant?

    Investors always have the Newmont share on their radar. The world's largest mining group generates around three-quarters of its sales with gold. In addition, there is a lucrative copper business. Newmont has benefited from rising commodity prices in recent quarters. Although the dividend yield is only around 2% and the share price potential is also limited for a big ship like Newmont, the share can be a solid addition to a portfolio for cautious investors. Since the Company has also been working on its costs recently, Newmont should be able to ride out fluctuations in the commodities market.


    Since companies like Newmont always have to replace their mined raw materials, the Company could even play a role in the constellation between Barsele Minerals and Agnico Eagle. Currently, the giant is not yet represented in Europe. As a promising project in a sought-after mining destination, Barsele Minerals could attract the interest of other majors. JinkoSolar, on the other hand, is not a takeover candidate. First, the Company itself is well-positioned, and second, it is already expensive. It is more likely that JinkoSolar will use its shares as a takeover currency.

    Take note! The stock market is (still) ignoring key developments at Desert Gold, Evotec, and Mutares!

    • Mining
    • Gold
    • Commodities
    • Africa
    • Biotechnology
    • Defense

    The past few weeks have been challenging for stock market traders. However, investors should not dwell too long on missed opportunities; they still exist across a wide range of industries and for various reasons. Desert Gold, Evotec, and Mutares currently stand out. These companies have one thing in common: their groundbreaking progress has so far been ignored by the stock market and is only partially reflected in their prices. This opens up lucrative opportunities for forward-thinking investors. Analysts see significant upside potential for all three stocks. Who is leading the race?

    The gold sector is in the throes of price, takeover, and IPO fever! Lahontan Gold is becoming a money-printing machine!

    • Nevada

    Things are heating up again in the gold sector. The price per ounce is marching toward USD 4,700. Experts believe a year-end price of around USD 6,000 is possible, with the trend continuing upward. The takeover carousel is also spinning again. A billion-dollar merger is in the works in Australia, and it could even lead to a bidding war. Meanwhile, Barrick Mining wants to take its US operations public because the company believes they are undervalued. The heart of "North American Barrick" is Nevada Gold Mines, a key driver behind the expected valuation of more than USD 60 billion. The IPO is drawing the attention of global gold investors to Nevada's world-class mining jurisdiction. There, Lahontan Gold is currently in what is likely the most value-creating phase of the entire corporate cycle: the transition from explorer to producer. As early as next year, the company aims to produce gold at a cost of USD 1,200 per ounce and "print money."

    Alarm bells are ringing at BioNTech! Billions at Hensoldt! Buying opportunity at North Arrow Minerals!

    • Biotechnology

    "Buy first, then kill," was how Tübingen Mayor Boris Palmer reacted to BioNTech's planned site closures. The reason is that, within this framework, virtually all sites of the recently acquired CureVac are set to be shut down. A CureVac co-founder has also made serious allegations, and BioNTech shares are declining. At the same time, there may be an opportunity for rising prices with a gold gem. While the gold price continues to consolidate, there are arguments in favour of an investment in North Arrow Minerals. The company has repositioned itself and is now focusing on an interesting gold project. Just a few kilometres away lies the multi-million-ounce Harmony Gold Kalgold open-pit mine. Meanwhile, Hensoldt has outperformed its industry peers, Rheinmetall and RENK, so far this year. Yesterday, it became clear that there are indeed good reasons for this. So, should investors buy now?
