    MiMedia: Cloud technology meets smartphone integration – an investment with strong growth potential

    Everyone knows it, and everyone uses it: The smartphone camera - to capture and share beautiful moments. In addition to the hardware, the appropriate software offers tech-savvy investors an exciting investment case. The New York-based MiMedia Holdings (pronounced like the English "my") provides a patented platform for managing digital content such as photos, videos, and documents. The cloud-based software is available as an app, which can be downloaded from platforms like the Google Play Store for Android devices. It offers users a simple and intuitive storage solution for their digital memories.

    With over 5.56 billion internet users worldwide (as of January 2025), accounting for 67.9% of the world's population, the demand for seamless and secure media storage is https://datareportal.com/global-digital-overview?utm_source=chatgpt.com text: higher) than ever before. That is why 2025 will be a strategically important financial year for the listed start-up. MiMedia's business model is based on two main revenue streams: Mobile advertising and cloud storage subscriptions. With an average advertising revenue of USD 4 per device for 30 million devices, the Company generates high margins and recurring revenues. In addition, mobile advertising rates of over USD 12 are particularly lucrative. With over 35 million devices to be preinstalled in the next two years, MiMedia expects significant revenue potential. In the US market alone, gross revenues of over USD 125 million are forecast.

    "Our high-margin, recurring revenue model, coupled with global expansion opportunities, sets the stage for unprecedented growth," emphasizes CEO Chris Giordano. MiMedia plans to expand its reach further and develop partnerships in Southeast Asia and Africa. South America is also within the tech company's coverage. Thanks to its partnership with Walmart Latin America, MiMedia has preinstalled its software on new smartphones and equipped existing devices with an over-the-air update for over 18.3 million subscribers of the Walmart brand "Bait" in Mexico.

    This strategic partnership opens up access to one of the fastest-growing markets for digital services. The combination of global expansion and a scalable business model makes MiMedia an attractive investment opportunity for investors.

    Porsche AG: Dividend proposal of EUR 1.91 per preference share for fiscal year 2024

    Porsche SE had a challenging fiscal year 2024. **The Company result after tax was clearly negative at minus EUR 20 billion, mainly due to extremely high impairment losses of EUR 19.9 billion at Volkswagen AG and EUR 3.4 billion at Porsche AG. However, these write-downs did not impact the Company's liquidity or net debt, which stands at EUR 5.2 billion as of year-end 2024 (prior year: EUR 5.7 billion).

    Adjusted for these impairment losses, Porsche SE achieved a group profit of EUR 3.2 billion after tax. Despite the difficult framework conditions, the Company sees potential in the consistent implementation of strategic programs at its core investments.

    The dividend for fiscal year 2024 remains stable at EUR 1,904 per ordinary share and EUR 1,910 per preference share. This corresponds to a total dividend payout of approximately EUR 584 million. The lower dividend proposal compared to the previous year's dividend is due to the expected lower dividend inflow from Volkswagen AG. The Annual General Meeting, which will take place on May 23, 2025, will decide on the dividend proposal of Porsche AG.

    Xiaomi accelerates electric vehicle offensive with billion-dollar placement

    Another player in the automotive sector that one would not expect to find there at first glance is the Chinese technology company Xiaomi which has raised USD 5.5 billion through a share placement to advance its ambitious plans in the electric vehicle production segment. The Company issued 800 million shares at a price of HKD 53.25 per share. Originally, 750 million shares were planned, but due to high demand, the placement was expanded during the bookbuilding process. More than 200 investors participated in the transaction, with the largest 20 investors acquiring approximately 66% of the offered shares.

    The proceeds from the placement will help Xiaomi accelerate the expansion of its business and R&D. Since entering into electric vehicle production last year, the conglomerate has already made progress. In 2024, Xiaomi's EV division generated revenues of RMB 32.1 billion (USD 4.4 billion). For 2025, Xiaomi is almost doubling its vehicle delivery target (planned to be 350,000 units) and is also preparing to export its vehicles internationally from 2027. Xiaomi could also be an exciting partner for MiMedia, as the Company is the world's third-largest smartphone manufacturer.


    The New York-based tech company MiMedia stands out with its patented cloud storage solution that is integrated directly into smartphones. With a clear growth strategy and strong partnerships, particularly with Walmart in Latin America, MiMedia offers a scalable business model with high revenue potential and attractive margins for investors. Despite a challenging fiscal year 2024, Porsche SE is showing stability and a forward-looking approach. The adjusted profit after tax of EUR 3.2 billion and the proposed dividend of EUR 1.91 per preference share could make Porsche stock an exciting proposition for dividend investors. Xiaomi is ambitiously driving forward its expansion in the electric vehicle sector and using the USD 5.5 billion it raised in the capital procurement to finance the further development of its EV division. The planned international expansion starting in 2027 makes Xiaomi an innovative player in the automotive sector.

    Commodity rush at Almonty Industries, sell-off at SAP and Gerresheimer – where it is worth getting in now

    Three companies, two setbacks – and one strategic opportunity. While Almonty Industries is successfully ramping up its tungsten project in South Korea and positioning itself as a Western commodity pillar, SAP and Gerresheimer have recently experienced difficult stock market phases. The cloud company fell well short of its quarterly targets and lost 17%, while the pharmaceutical equipment supplier is struggling with its third consecutive decline in revenue despite booming GLP-1 therapies. Almonty, SAP, and Gerresheimer are prime examples of how different strategic importance and market volatility can be at present. We analyze the current situations.

    Why Silver North Resources is benefiting from Xiaomi and Broadcom's hunger for silver

    Megatrends are shaking up the economy. The AI boom is driving energy demand to dizzying heights. A single data center now consumes as much electricity as 100,000 households. At the same time, the old trading order is crumbling, and an inconspicuous metal is becoming a key strategic resource: silver. The sixth consecutive supply deficit is turning exploration projects into a question of power, because without silver, there would be no smartphones, no chips, and no energy transition. The value chain from Canadian explorer Silver North Resources to ecosystem builder Xiaomi to chip giant Broadcom shows how you can benefit from this situation.

    Europe steps on the gas! E-mobility and secure supply chains - Avrupa Minerals, BYD, VW, and Stellantis

    • Automotive

    The stock market year has gotten off to a turbulent start, but a new megatrend is gaining traction: critical metals! While 2025 was dominated by AI and high-tech stocks, raw material suppliers, essential for maintaining industrial competitiveness, are increasingly moving into focus. Over the past 12 months, they have been able to offer investors dream returns in the three- to four-digit range. At the same time, there has been hardly any growth on the NASDAQ since the beginning of the year. Former high-flyers like Palantir, Nvidia, and Strategy are currently trading below their 2025 highs. International commodity stocks dealing with the issue of "Western supply chains" have now moved up the list of top performers. Without strategic metals, the secure production of electrical infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and defense technology is not possible. It is therefore worthwhile for investors to rethink their tech portfolios and add good commodity stocks to their watch lists. Meanwhile, the automotive sector, under pressure for months, could be stabilizing after the sobering results of 2025. We take a closer look at the key players.
