The markets are correcting on a broad front. Hydrogen and fuel cell stocks, which have been booming for months, are taking a breath of fresh air. In a long-term trend, this is good and quite the norm. It is time to take a look at the fundamental aspects once again, in addition to the chart support zones and trend formations. Some companies have managed to position themselves broadly and can continue to grow solidly in the future. Others have only swum with the current and will go down in time. Now it is time to put the pearls into the account.

    Photovoltaics more in demand than ever

    According to a forecast by the International Energy Agency (IEA), photovoltaics will become the world's largest generator of electricity in the coming years. According to this, the solar industry is expected to grow by 13% every year until 2030. In turn, this means that in 2030 the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems will cover one-third of the world's electricity demand.

    This assumption is quite realistic. On the one hand, states are finally promoting more investments in solar energy, and on the other hand, photovoltaics is now cheaper than generating power from coal or gas. The International Energy Agency even goes so far as to say that solar energy will outstrip hydropower. The increasing drought caused by climate change and cheaper technology are the main reasons for this, it says.

    World market leader still exciting

    However, the world market leader of solar module manufacturers had to record heavy losses yesterday. From the all-time high of around USD 90 after the start of the trading day, the stock closed down about 12%. However, we must remember that four weeks ago, JinkoSolar was still trading at just under USD 20, but has now quadrupled this figure.

    There is no denying that the share still has some potential for correction, with an upward trend of around USD 70. However, in terms of its fundamental valuation compared to its peer group, JinkoSolar is anything but expensive.

    Megaproject in Europe

    Fundamentally, things are going like clockwork at the Chinese Company founded in 2006 and based in Shanghai. Jinkosolar announced a joint venture with Juwi earlier this week. JinkoSolar is supplying 204 megawatts of bifacial modules for a Juwi project in Greece. Juwi's Greek subsidiary will use the modules to complete the Kozani solar park in northern Greece. The project is Juwi's largest photovoltaic project to date and, according to JinkoSolar, will also be one of the largest solar parks with bifacial modules in Europe once completed.

    Plug Power - Caution

    Further in correction mode are the papers of hydrogen and fuel cell companies. The very well-positioned US manufacturer, Plug Power, is now entering the broad and essential support zone around USD 14. Here one should watch the price behaviour very closely. However, the long-term upward trend is still intact.

    In search of favourable entry opportunities

    Countercyclical investing is part of the business strategy of John Jeffrey, the experienced CEO, and Chairman of Saturn Oil & Gas. He has been looking for further acquisitions since the collapse of the oil market in March 2020. The CEO believes that the acquisition of assets from competitors offers significant advantages over the Company's drilling program. It will be interesting to see whether Saturn Oil & Gas can demonstrate the first successes in the coming weeks.

    Organically on the trail

    In everyday business, things were promising until the Corona situation. In the 2019 production year, Saturn Oil & Gas was by far the cheapest oil producer in Canada. At around USD 12 per barrel of oil, production costs were significantly lower than those of the big, well-known oil players, which all had production costs of well over USD 30 per barrel. The Company's largest properties are in West Central Saskatchewan. The oil fields offer good access to the underground deposits of Viking Light Oil.

    Orphaned Oil Wells Turn into Billion-Dollar Market: Chevron and Clean Harbors Under Pressure; Zefiro Methane in Focus

    Methane emissions from decommissioned and abandoned oil and gas wells in North America have been drastically underestimated for decades. Scientific studies by McGill University show that actual emissions in Canada are seven times higher than official figures, while in the US they exceed government estimates by about 20%. Since methane has a greenhouse effect approximately 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide over a twenty-year period, plugging these leaks is a top priority. Through the bipartisan US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), billions in government subsidies are flowing into the remediation of abandoned and orphaned wells. This situation makes it easier for energy companies to act and creates a stable demand environment for specialized environmental service providers. We present a company that is currently fully focused on growth.

    Zefiro Methane vs. BP & Shell: One Industry, Two Business Models—Only One Is Unaffected by Oil Prices

    Despite tensions in the Middle East, oil and gas prices are falling—a seeming paradox. The reasons are a weakening global economy and overflowing storage facilities, which currently more than offset any geopolitical risk premium. While traditional energy giants like BP and Shell are suffering from the price decline as their production profits shrink, a specialized provider is operating in a completely different way. Zefiro Methane earns revenue by eliminating methane emissions from orphaned wells. This is a business driven by climate protection laws, not oil prices. It is precisely this contrast between Zefiro Methane, on the one hand, and the oil multinationals BP and Shell, on the other, that opens up exciting prospects for investors.

    Do Market Leaders Still Outperform the Market? Is Zefiro Methane in the Fast Lane, While SAP and TeamViewer Continue to Stumble?

    Stock market investors are betting on tomorrow's winners. But will today's market leaders remain among them? How are AI, digitalization, the energy transition, and geopolitical uncertainty changing the landscape? SAP is trying to leverage its strong position in enterprise software to position itself as an AI winner. However, the stock's performance reflects investors' skepticism. The market views TeamViewer even more critically and wonders whether the company can defend its top position against the industry's corporate giants. Zefiro Methane is a different story altogether. The Canadians impress with a strong position in a multi-billion-dollar market. Zefiro addresses one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time—reducing methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells. This business segment is not only socially relevant but also benefits from regulatory tailwinds and rising investments in climate protection. The significantly undervalued stock remains under the radar of investors.
