The DeepSeek quake has also shaken the shares of Germany's Siemens Energy. In response, numerous analysts have spoken out. Opinions on the upside target price differ widely. Could the share price halve despite strong operating performance? By contrast, analysts see an upside potential of over 100% for F3 Uranium. The Company offers one of the greatest opportunities among uranium explorers. F3 is active in one of the world's most promising uranium areas; the resource is already highly valued, and the takeover fantasy is increasing. In contrast, Nel currently offers little upside potential. One piece of bad news follows another. The latest investment should also not be viewed positively. New lows are looming.

    F3 Uranium: Analysts see over 100% upside potential

    F3 Uranium is one of the most promising investment opportunities in uranium exploration companies. In addition, there is takeover speculation, as the takeover of Fission Uranium – a neighbor of F3 – shows. This is the conclusion the analysts at Haywood Capital Markets reached in their initial study. They rate F3 shares as a "Buy" with a fair value of CAD 0.55 per share. With the current price of CAD 0.26, the upside potential is over 100%.

    The Patterson Lake North (PLN) project, which is being developed by F3 Uranium, is located in the west of the Athabasca Basin. Experts consider the Athabasca Basin in central Canada one of the world's most promising uranium deposits. This is already evident from deposits such as Arrow and Triple R. In addition, the Athabasca region is attracting more and more attention from the major mining companies, as evidenced by the recent acquisition of Fission Uranium by Paladin Energy. Incidentally, Paladin paid CAD 1.14 billion for the acquisition.

    The PLN project covers a total of 42,961 hectares. F3 is currently focusing on the high-grade JR zone discovered in 2022. From the analysts' point of view, the first-pass drilling to date indicates significant discovery potential. JR is a real gem and likely not the only one within the PLN project. They expect F3 to publish a first specific mineral resource estimate this year. The price target in Haywood Research is based on an initial resource estimate by analysts of 60 million pounds of uranium for the entire PLN project. Of this, the JR zone alone is expected to contain up to 30 million pounds of uranium. Overall, the estimate offers upside potential.

    Siemens Energy: What analysts are saying after the DeepSeek quake

    After the price plunge from EUR 60 to below EUR 48 on Monday, Siemens Energy's stock also regained ground yesterday. Following the DeepSeek quake, it is now trading at almost EUR 54 again. And what are analysts saying after the price slide?

    Overall, the experts stick to their opinions. These differ widely. Berenberg is particularly bullish. The analysts advise buying Siemens Energy shares and set a target price of EUR 70. The DeepSeek quake should not be overstated. The demand for grid infrastructure and flexible power generation is driven by many more topics than just artificial intelligence. The analysts expect the strong performance in the first quarter to continue. Given the medium-term cash flow potential, the stock is currently very attractively valued.

    The Siemens Energy bear is clearly Bernstein Research. Actually, the update reads positively. The latest quarterly figures are also assessed by the Bernstein analysts. They even expect Siemens Energy to raise its free cash flow guidance when it releases its half-yearly figures. However, they still only rate the stock as an "Underperform", which would have to halve again to reach the price target of EUR 22.

    Nel ASA: New multi-year low?

    The Nel ASA share price was unimpressed by the DeepSeek quake. However, the price trend was already a disaster beforehand. The only positive thing is that no new low has been marked since January 19 – so far, the NOK 2 mark has held.

    After Nel announced that it would lay off around 20% of its staff and temporarily shut down the alkaline production plant in Herøya, Norway, another piece of bad news emerged. Last week, Nel announced that it had acquired a 4.85% stake in Cavendish Hydrogen. Nel had only recently spun off the hydrogen refueling specialist and taken it public. Nel has not disclosed details about the stake, but it is likely a necessary move. Cavendish Hydrogen is also facing a crisis and has to lay off 45% of its employees.

    There are numerous issues at Nel. The Company needs concrete large-scale projects that can generate revenue in the short term, but there is no sign of that happening. Given its market capitalization of still around NOK 3.7 billion, it is likely only a matter of time before a new multi-year low is reached.


    At Nel, a short-term price rally could happen at any time, but the stock lacks sustainable positive drivers. There is no sign of a bottom in the chart. In contrast, F3 Uranium shares could develop very positively in the current year. Regular drill results are expected, the uranium price should move upwards again, and there is potential for takeover speculation. Siemens Energy may have even benefited from the recent price setbacks, as the share price had become very overheated.

    Palantir, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold – WATCH OUT: These stocks are on the move!

    The tech industry celebrates Palantir as an AI pioneer: With a 390% price increase in 2024 and a forecast of USD 3.75 billion in revenue in 2025, the Company is convincing with its government and commercial AI solutions – but the P/E ratio of 600 raises sustainability questions. Meanwhile, First Nordic Metals is building on exploration momentum in the Scandinavian gold sector: new anomalies and cost-efficient drilling techniques are driving the stock. Barrick Gold, in turn, combines robustness (19% revenue growth) with geopolitical challenges in Mali and long-term, large-scale projects. We take a look at which companies offer potential and where valuations could be too high.

    Shooting star Rheinmetall continues to rise - Greentech stocks like Nel, dynaCERT, and Plug Power are in the starting gate!

    • Hydrogen
    • GreenTech
    • renewableenergies
    • Defense

    With the start of the security conference, they were back – the defense stocks. Rheinmetall thus exceeded the EUR 800 mark for the first time. The DAX 40 index is also doing brilliantly, currently at 22,600, well ahead of the NASDAQ. Now, rumors of peace talks are circulating, but the stock market is still not quite believing it. The losers of recent months were, not least, due to the re-election of Donald Trump, the greentech stocks. They were simply ignored in the face of the "climate change deniers" from the White House. But the charts no longer reached new lows. This is reason enough for us to refocus on these stocks. dynaCERT made its first leaps with the VERRA certification, but there is still much more potential. Selection remains key!

    TUI stock weak after numbers – Nova Pacific Metals and Super Micro Computer fare much better

    The latest quarterly figures from TUI disappointed investors. Despite optimistic booking forecasts, the share price corrected by up to 17% within two days after the expected revenue targets were missed. This raises questions about the sustainability of the travel Company's comeback, which most recently wanted to appeal to new customer groups with low-cost offers. Nova Pacific Metals and Super Micro Computer present a very different picture. Nova Pacific's share price rose by over 80% within three days. Super Micro is raising hopes of a turnaround despite delisting risks due to a new auditor and attractive AI prospects – supported by a low P/E ratio of 10. We take a closer look at the three companies.
