NEL ASA, Saturn Oil & Gas, VARTA - which energy share is the best?

  • Energy

Energy sources and storage facilities are topics of the present and future. The more modern a society is, the higher the priority of cleanliness and moral innocuousness. Mobility in rich countries is undergoing change. In conurbations, the aim is increasingly being pursued to electrify motorised transport. Electricity flows into the grid from predominantly nuclear power plants as well as power plants using fossil fuels and can be used to produce hydrogen as an energy storage medium or to charge batteries. The share of electricity from renewable energies has increased worldwide from 18.6% to 25.1% in the years from 2008 to 2018.

    Costs are carried by customers

    The restructuring of the energy network in Germany has its price. For private households, the cost of a kilowatt hour rose by an average of 6% per year between 2000 and 2019. A price increase for electricity from 13.94 cents to 30.43 cents, i.e. an increase of 118%, had to be borne by citizens on average in Germany.

    In the coming years, Germany's nuclear and coal-fired power plants are to be completely shut down and the share of renewable energies further increased. If there should be supply gaps in the grid because renewable energy sources are not sufficient, there will be electricity imports from abroad.

    Dependence on OPEC increases

    Shifting the generation of nuclear and coal-fired power to neighbouring countries does not make life on earth any cleaner or safer. In this context, energy policy must be critically reviewed. The state subsidy for electric cars will further increase the demand for electricity, although it is foreseeable that the national supply will continue to decline.

    While Western banks and funds are currently reducing their involvement in oil and gas production for image reasons, dependence on OPEC is increasing. The OPEC countries, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia, have around 80% of the oil reserves. The oil demand of modern society, which strives for security and prosperity, is constantly increasing and now amounts to around 100 million barrels of crude oil per day.

    Diversification is necessary

    Hydrogen has the potential to become the energy carrier of the future, because it can be stored and refuelled similar to petrol and diesel. The refuelling process takes a few minutes and the range of the vehicles is comparable to that of vehicles with conventional fuels. NEL ASA manufactures systems that produce hydrogen and can be used to refuel vehicles. However, the energy balance is only truly green if the electricity used to produce hydrogen comes from renewable energy sources. It is similar with the charging of VARTA batteries.

    Saturn Oil & Gas is an oil producer from Canada, the country that has the highest standards and environmental requirements in the world for producing the world's most important energy source. The company is growing and profitable, the share is still relatively unknown with corresponding price potential. In the future, the origin of crude oil will become increasingly important, which is why this company in North America is particularly exciting. A well diversified portfolio consists of an energy mix.

    Is the 1,000% stock Bloom Energy picking up speed again? It took some time for the market to digest the quarterly results. But now, the energy high-flyer seems ready to break out of its sideways trend. For RE Royalties, an upward movement is actually long overdue. The share has been trading sideways since February. Yet this renewable energy royalty company is benefiting from the energy boom in the US. On top of that, there is a dividend yield of around 10%. Will a revaluation happen in the coming months? For SFC Energy, the revaluation is already in full swing. The share has already gained 10% this week. A flurry of announcements at the Paris defence trade show is fueling buying sentiment.

    Is RENK ushering in a new era? At the defence trade show in Paris, the company, together with a partner, unveiled an autonomous tank. This shows that RENK intends to offer more than just transmissions in the future. This is certainly the right move. Can the stock benefit from it? Power Metallic Mines aims to capitalize on the copper supercycle. To that end, the company is developing what is likely one of the world's most exciting multi-metal projects in Canada. Several milestones are expected to be reached in the coming months. Analysts see more than 100% upside potential. Analysts are also bullish on Siemens Energy. The stock appears to have already recovered from its minor correction. Most recently, the CEO dismissed concerns regarding a potential AI concentration risk. Customers are even applying pressure. Could the DAX stock rise to EUR 250?

    Innovative Nuclear Power Drives AI Computing! Oklo, NuScale, American Atomics, and Siemens Energy

    And right back to square one! While capital markets were braced for a correction in early June, two major events completely shifted the landscape. First, Elon Musk successfully listed his flagship venture, SpaceX, on the stock market at a staggering USD 1.7 trillion valuation. Second, US President Donald Trump announced a breakthrough resolution to the Iran conflict. This created the ultimate breeding ground for market optimism: stocks, gold, and silver surged upward, while interest rates and oil prices plummeted. Lower inflation revives the possibility of interest rate cuts in an already bubble-like tech environment, drawing vivid comparisons to the dot-com era of 2000. Today, it is the soaring profits of semiconductor manufacturers that are driving the markets. Whether artificial intelligence (AI) will start turning a profit anytime soon is highly debatable. US investment bankers are anticipating a fee bonanza worth tens of billions of dollars from the next wave of trillion-dollar IPOs. The prerequisite: the party must continue. Anyone who does the math carefully will realize that, amid all the euphoria, cheap electricity has become the lifeblood of the tech industry. This is where nuclear energy is regaining its relevance. For investors, the key question is which stocks to include in their portfolios now.
