The stock and commodity markets remain volatile. Prices are driven by the war in Ukraine and the Corona pandemic. In recent days, commodities have been on the rise again. Brent oil is trading at around USD 120 per barrel, and gold is again setting its sights on the USD 2,000 mark. But even in this difficult-to-navigate environment, equities can make gains. Bayer shares, for example, have developed positively in recent weeks. And analysts see up to 50% upside potential for the DAX company. The invasion of Russia has also accelerated the move toward renewable energies. Hydrogen plays a central role in this. Nel has been able to profit from the fantasy in recent weeks and has now also announced a new order. Gold explorer Barsele Minerals has catch-up potential. According to a study, the share already had a lot of potential at a gold price of USD 1,350.

    Barsele Minerals a takeover candidate?

    The Canadian exploration company Barsele Minerals is currently focusing on a project in Sweden. Compared to competition in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia, this significantly reduces political risks. The Barsele Gold project is located 600km north of Stockholm. Several large gold deposits are located nearby, including Bjorkdal (Elgin Mining), Faboliden (Dragon Mining) and Svartliden (Dragon Mining). In recent years, 404 drill holes have been drilled at the Barsele project with a total length of 155,000m. The 2019 NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate indicated approximately 2.5 million ounces of gold. Currently, work is underway to expand this. The next milestone is to increase the resource estimate to 3.5 million ounces of gold.

    Barsele has a strong partner at its side in the development of the project. Barsele holds 45% of the project. The senior partner with 55% is Agnico Eagle. The billion-dollar company is leading exploration on the property. An attempt by Barsele to take over the 55% failed a few months ago. But it remains exciting; perhaps Barsele itself becomes a takeover candidate because the valuation is low. The Royal Bank of Canada already valued the Barsele project at USD 375 million a few years ago. Barsele's market capitalization is around USD 50 million. The share is also traded on German stock exchanges. Important for the valuation: The basis for the valuation at that time was a gold price of USD 1,350. Today, the troy ounce is solidly quoted between USD 1,900 and 2,000. Barsele shares should therefore have room for improvement.

    Bayer shares with up to 50% price potential

    According to analysts, the Bayer share also has room for improvement. The stock of the DAX company has already performed well in recent weeks and is currently trading at just under EUR 60. UBS has a target price of EUR 90 and sees a potential of 50%. Accordingly, the analysts recommend Bayer's stock as a buy. Due to the glyphosate legal dispute, the stock has long been decoupled from the fundamental value. However, it is now time for this risk discount to be removed. The development in the agricultural division continues to be very dynamic. Important news is expected in April. Then it should become more clear how the Group is coping with the expiration of the patent for the anticoagulant Xarelto. Deutsche Bank also sees a share price potential of over 20%. Bayer has achieved an attractive price in the sale of the "Environmental Science Professional" business around professional pest control. Therefore, the analysts confirmed their buy recommendation with a target price of EUR 75.

    Nel: Minister for Economic Affairs Habeck again creates share price fantasy

    One can certainly not speak of a valuation discount for Nel. Instead, the share is driven by a lot of fantasy. Because when it comes to hydrogen, investors can hardly ignore the Norwegian Company. And hydrogen is becoming more than ever the central building block of the energy transition - especially in Germany. Economics Minister Habeck emphasized this once again during his visit to the Arabian Peninsula. Against the backdrop of the Russian attack on Ukraine, the development of a hydrogen economy could happen much faster than previously planned, Habeck said. According to his ideas, green hydrogen, produced without CO2 emissions based on renewable energies, should enable decarbonization in the steel and chemical industries, for example. Germany should then be able to do without fossil energies in the long term. Nel should benefit from the massive investment in hydrogen technology and has taken at least one small step with its latest order. The Company is to supply modules for a planned hydrogen station in Le Bourget, France. The customer is HysetCo, which operates hydrogen taxis in the Paris region. According to the Company, it operates the largest hydrogen taxi fleet globally. Nel manager Martin Pfandl said, "We are pleased to have been selected by HysetCo as a hydrogen refueling station equipment supplier. We look forward to supporting HysetCo in developing hydrogen mobility infrastructure in France."

    Bayer and Nel are clearly in a short-term uptrend. That said, Nel is no bargain and has yet to grow into its billion-dollar valuation. The opposite is true for Barsele Minerals. The explorer is developing an exciting gold project with a strong partner and is anything but highly valued.

    Mitigating Risk, Capturing Opportunity: Pan American Silver and Franco-Nevada – Upside Potential at Globex Mining

    • Mining
    • Gold
    • Commodities
    • Silver
    • royalties

    In this volatile market environment, commodity investors are once again turning more heavily to safe havens to reduce their risks. While established producers like Pan American Silver are solidifying their market position by operating large mines in North and South America and taking full advantage of rising silver and gold prices, the royalty model has proven its worth on the financing front. Industry leaders such as Franco-Nevada have demonstrated for decades how a broadly diversified portfolio of royalties can generate consistent cash flows without having to bear the risks of active mining. Globex Mining operates in the same strategic niche with a portfolio of over 270 projects and 107 royalties, consistently focusing on politically stable jurisdictions such as Canada and the US. The combination of a strong cash position, stakes in partner companies such as Pan American Silver, and the steady generation of new royalties paints a clear picture: Globex Mining operates like a smaller-scale version of Franco-Nevada, offering investors both stability and growth opportunities. Since this agile project generator is even active in critical metals like antimony, investors should take a closer look at the company.

    Oil Prices Be Damned: SpaceX IPO in Focus - Alphabet, First Hydrogen, and Oklo in the spotlight

    • Hydrogen
    • SMR
    • cleantech
    • Space

    The time has come! Last week, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX had filed an application for a stock offering with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite all the headwinds facing the capital markets, Elon Musk is convinced that he will raise up to USD 75 billion with the initial public offering of the space technology startup. Only just under 5% of all shares are expected to be freely tradable. This is already causing major ETF providers to break out in a cold sweat, as they must somehow replicate the new market heavyweight - with an initial valuation of nearly USD 2 trillion - as a "MAG 8" stock. The target date for the stock offering is June. It remains to be seen whether the current market climate can even handle such a massive offering. It is unlikely to be a surefire success. Alphabet has already positioned itself with a stake acquired in 2015. We calculate what that might mean this summer and present some other good ideas.

    Power Metallic Mines: World-Class Asset at a Bargain Price – Revaluation Underway

    The Iran conflict is currently dominating the stock markets. What lies ahead, and how hard will the energy shock hit the global economy? What remains certain is just how fragile commodity supplies and supply chains are. Western governments are pushing to regionalize critical supply chains and thereby reduce dependence on politically unstable regions. Copper and platinum group metals are high on the industrial policy agenda, as they play a significant role in electrification, the hydrogen economy, digitalization, and high-tech. This is exactly where Power Metallic Mines comes into play. The Canadian company owns a large, high-quality polymetallic project in Canada with the potential to become a major, long-term supply source for Western industries. Analysts expect the stock to rise by nearly 200% over the next 12 months!
