The mobility of the future will be diverse. In addition to internal combustion engines, vehicles with electric motors will also define future everyday life. This politically motivated development will be supported by subsidies and premiums in various areas. Investors who would like to participate in this trend have the opportunity to buy the shares of companies that will be part of this development. Besides the well-known car manufacturers, suppliers and plant manufacturers will also benefit from this trend.

    Electric mobility drives the copper market

    An electric car needs on average three times as much copper as a vehicle with a combustion engine. This simple example makes it clear that this raw material will be in great demand in the future. Even though around 35% of the world's copper demand can now be covered by recycling, a large proportion is still needed for global electrification and there are many examples. The anode of a lithium-ion battery is usually made of copper and the cathode of aluminum. In total, such an energy storage device consists of about 18% copper.

    Copper deposits for the market

    Experts predict that the share of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will rise to 19% by 2030 and could even grow to over 70% by 2040. Whether this estimate will prove to be true is uncertain, but the demand for copper will also increase due to other industries. Against this background, SolGold is an exciting investment opportunity as the company has already discovered 9.9 million tons of copper in Ecuador.

    Precious metals as a bonus

    In addition, SolGold has already reported 21.7 million ounces of gold and 92.2 million ounces of silver. From today's perspective, the mine life expectancy is projected to be 55 years, CEO Nick Mather stated in a recent interview. The market value of the company is currently less than CAD 900 million. Given that SolGold has a total of 13 projects and that the current market value of the precious metals is significantly higher, in a nutshell, investors have the opportunity to participate in a bank with an affiliated copper dealership.

    Technologies in the race

    A name that is often mentioned in connection with autonomous driving is NVIDIA. However, the market value of the processor specialist is now more than EUR 260 billion. In comparison, the plant manufacturer NEL ASA from Norway is still valued low at EUR 2.6 billion. The company plays an important role in building a hydrogen infrastructure. NEL's plants are used in the production of the energy carrier and are needed for the construction of a network of filling stations.

    Imagination vs. values

    At the end of the day, however, the investors themselves have to estimate how much future potential can still be exploited at these two billion-euro companies. In comparison, the chance/risk potential of the SolGold share is probably more attractive based on the values in the ground.

    Palantir is growing rapidly, Amazon is earning handsomely from its cloud, and HPQ Silicon is working toward a commercial breakthrough in its battery technology. Three companies, three different starting points – and plenty of potential. While the two US groups already generate billions in revenue, even modest orders could make a big difference for the small Canadian materials specialist. We take a closer look at these three exciting stocks.

    Silicon is the unassuming raw material behind almost every future technology. For one thing, it is found in processors that power data centres for artificial intelligence. In this area, Intel's management acknowledged in its quarterly results report on October 29 that demand exceeds supply. Next is the battery, where silicon is intended to improve the anode. At the end of the chain is the car, and at Volkswagen, orders for electric vehicles in Europe rose 39% after nine months. This could boost companies that process or refine silicon. Following the recent pullbacks in the three stocks of Intel, HPQ Silicon and Volkswagen, opportunities could open up, provided demand for silicon continues.

    Electrification requires better batteries and more powerful chips. It also depends on companies that can produce these technologies at competitive costs. HPQ Silicon is approaching this critical juncture. The company aims to increase energy density in battery cells, and its operational progress is gaining momentum. Commercialisation is the next major milestone. Most recently, the Canadian company announced an initiative to establish a US battery company with independent financing. BYD is bringing electric powertrains to the mass market but faces intense competition. Infineon supplies key power electronics components. Could the upcoming results boost the stock? Where are the most compelling opportunities for investors?
