    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.

    The AI tech high-flyers! Up to 3,500% dream returns with D-Wave Quantum, Power Metallic, Nvidia and AMD

    Hard to believe, but unfortunately true! Without a single setback, share prices in the AI, high-tech, and strategic metals sectors have been rising unabated for months now. This has led to dream returns, some of which are in the triple digits. The curtain call for this party seems a long way off, while underinvested investors are sitting on billions in idle cash. There is no conclusive advice for such a situation. Fundamental analysts have been sounding the alarm for months, noting that the well-known Shiller P/E ratio, at over 42, has long since broken through the band of irrational exaggeration. But who cares? Here is a selection of stocks that face daily demand, forcing constant appreciation. Of course, as with any party, it only ends when the last guest turns off the lights.

    • Lithium

    In the third quarter of 2025, the global market for electric mobility continued to develop dynamically: over 4.2 million new electric vehicles were registered, an increase of around 28% compared to the previous year. While China confidently maintained its leading position as the largest single market, Europe also grew strongly with double-digit growth rates. Driven by manufacturers such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen, NIO is also slowly entering the scene. At the same time, more and more capital is flowing into innovative battery technologies to meet rising demand in the long term. NEO Battery Materials is emerging as a specialist in the innovative battery solutions business. This rapid development illustrates how closely technology, raw material markets, and the electric mobility boom are intertwined. We present some ideas for investors.
