Contrary to the well-known saying "Sell in May and go away", this year's merry month was a good time to enter the market. After marking a new interim low in the German benchmark index at 13,277.50 points in the first week, the DAX ended May with a rich green reversal candle above 14,000 points. Since then, it has continued to build on the positive development by jumping above the 14,500 point mark. Stronger recoveries can also be seen in the individual sectors, which have suffered significant losses in recent months.

    Nel ASA - Crucial level

    The conditions for the increased use of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are excellent; Russia's invasion of Ukraine has accelerated the transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energies, which German politicians like to call "freedom energies". However, it was more wishful thinking than reality that the corresponding share prices would explode due to the excellent prospects for the future. The market leaders in their respective sectors, such as Plug Power, Nel ASA or even Ballard Power, tended to further reduce their still very ambitious valuations in the course of the general tech correction. For example, the Norwegian hydrogen producer Nel ASA fell to an interim low of EUR 1.10 in mid-May. Only then did a stronger countermovement to currently EUR 1.41 set in. An important resistance area, which should be overcome to the upside, is now the interim high at EUR 1.48. After that, the way to the level of EUR 1.60 would be clear, at least in the short term.

    The share price was given a tailwind by an order for an alkaline electrolysis system from Glencore Nikkelverk in Kristiansand. The green hydrogen from the electrolyzer system will be used to produce hydrochloric acid. The order is worth more than EUR 3 million. Delivery of the equipment is scheduled for mid-2023. Glencore Nikkelverk is wholly owned by the Swiss Glencore group of companies. The Norway-based company is the largest nickel producer in the Western world.

    dynaCERT - Chance for long-term bottoming out

    The consolidation at dynaCERT has lasted much longer than at the Norwegian hydrogen specialist Nel ASA. Shortly before the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in February 2020, the Canadian energy company, which manufactures and sells technologies for reducing carbon emissions, marked an all-time high at EUR 0.93. Currently, the share price is working on bottoming out at EUR 0.10. The stock market value is just under EUR 40 million. Delays in distribution caused by the pandemic and disrupted supply chains were why dynaCERT has still not succeeded in the global roll-out of its worldwide patented Carbon Emission Reduction Technology.

    The HydraGen product is used in combustion engines, currently still with a focus on heavy vehicles. Here, the electrolysis unit produces water and oxygen and thus optimizes fuel combustion, resulting in both a reduction in fuel consumption and a reduction in emissions of up to 19%. With HydraLytica, intelligent software has been developed that records and analyzes consumption. The fleet companies can thus convert the CO2 saved into corresponding certificates and sell them. In this context, the potential for the next few years would be enormous, at around 100 million vehicles, due to the CO2 reduction targets that have been set. As a result, sales expanded globally to 38 countries at the end of last year. In addition, the production facilities were modernized during the pause due to the pandemic, which means that around 2,000 units can currently be produced per work shift.

    The CEO of dynaCERT, Jim Payne, wants to drive sales through partnerships. The new sales partner, Simply Green Distributors Inc., will help with this and be responsible for the Canadian oil and gas market. Simply Green has already informed dynaCERT that several major transportation and oil and gas companies in Western Canada are testing the HydraGEN technology. Several sales successes have already been celebrated with H2Tek, another commercial partner. In total, dynaCERT announced the sale of seven of its HydraGEN technology-equipped unit types. The devices are to be deployed in Peru, Argentina and Brazil. Sales of the patented technology are still progressing slowly. However, if larger numbers are called for, dynaCERT could be on the verge of a long-term rebound.

    RWE - Top deal ahead

    Like a rock in the surf, the share of the energy giant RWE ran from high to high despite the market correction and the invasion of Russia. At EUR 43.82, the share price now ended for the time being. The share took a more than healthy breather. Therefore, the setback potential could extend to the high from January 2021 at around EUR 38.65. In the long term, RWE is likely only to reduce the overheating.

    Fundamentally, the energy supplier seems to be doing everything right. With the purchase of a gas-fired power plant in the Netherlands from Vattenfall, the Essen-based company caused quite a stir. However, this purchase has two striking advantages. Firstly, "Magnum" is hydrogen-capable, and secondly, it is strategically located close to RWE's hard coal and biomass power plant in Eemshaven. According to RWE, the purchase price would be an enterprise value of around EUR 500 million. Magnum could be converted to run on up to 30% hydrogen. "In addition, there is the possibility of converting the gas-fired power plant completely to hydrogen as the sole fuel by the end of the decade," RWE said.


    Despite the acceleration of the energy transition, hydrogen stocks corrected sharply in recent months. At dynaCERT, the roll-out is pending. Nel ASA offers potential when overcoming an important resistance. RWE is interesting in the long term but has already run hot in the short term.

    Despite all the prophecies of doom, the world's stock markets are continuing their upward trend; neither the strict monetary policy of the central banks nor the geopolitical uncertainties have slowed them down so far. Among individual stocks, several companies have reported positive surprises in recent weeks, which should lead to further price increases in the long term. Due to the general correction in recent months, there are attractive entry opportunities, especially in the technology and mining sectors.

    The stock market is not a one-way street. Some investors have recently experienced this firsthand. Because in the "ups and downs" of sentiment, new trends are constantly emerging. The biotech sector, for example, has been falling for more than a year, and the charts keep reaching new lows. In 2020, cannabis stocks made a splash, with the related index, POT, increasing tenfold since 2018 to about 1100 points. However, yesterday it reached a new all-time low with 45.5 points or a 95% loss. Currently, investors are trying to ride the wave of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI), with stocks like C3.ai, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Palantir all performing well in 2023. A new megatrend is underway here that, according to experts, will continue for several years. How long this boom will yield returns is unknown, but these stocks are currently performing strongly.

    At the beginning of May, analysts at Bank of America declared a new "super cycle" for basic and raw materials. What they mean by this is that a whole series of important materials will be in great short supply for years. The prime example is the red metal copper. The price of the industrial metal has almost doubled in the past 12 months. It is currently quoted at around USD 8,350 per tonne, not far from the historic high of USD 10,750. During the pandemic, the metal briefly fell to USD 4,500. Currently, however, forecasts are once again pointing upwards. Bank of America expects the price to more than double again to around USD 18,000 in the next three years. We take a look at some hot stocks.
