NEL, Enapter, Daimler: Where hydrogen still offers opportunities

And what about hydrogen? CDU/CSU chancellor candidate Armin Laschet not only earned the laughs of Tesla boss Elon Musk when he asked about the appropriate technology for the mobility revolution, but the German media also mocked the CDU chairman. Yet hydrogen as an energy carrier is far from being out of the question, at least for trucks, ships and trains. Hydrogen could also be used as a power source in remote regions. Reason enough to take a closer look at a few stocks.

    NEL: Will the stock come back?

    For a long time, the NEL share was considered the star on the trading floor. Even today, it still has a great return of 280% over a three-year period. But over the course of a year, the share has already suffered a loss of around 30%. What is the reason for this? For a long time, the specialist's shares in the production, storage and transport of hydrogen were considered the absolute growth darlings of the markets. For this reason, too, the stock received advance praise: Investors were anticipating a future that was not yet at all tangible. For months this went well - until the tide turned and hydrogen stocks were considered overvalued.

    Since then, NEL has also been on a downward trend, interrupted by a few interim bursts. Whenever the Company publishes quarterly figures, skeptics feel confirmed: The meager sales still do not fit the Company's valuation. Most recently, however, the stock was able to find a bottom twice, around EUR 1.30 and is currently trading around EUR 1.40. The sell-off phase currently seems to be interrupted. However, this does not yet mean that the turnaround will happen now. Both bulls and bears should look very closely at NEL from now on because something will happen soon!

    Enapter: Technology lowers hydrogen price

    Things are currently much calmer at the German hydrogen specialist Enapter. The share has lost about 9% in the past month, but the stock still has the image of a solid German industrial company. Enapter specializes in making hydrogen cheap, which is precisely the key to the success of the energy carrier. To this end, the Company has patented its electrolyzers and designed them to be modular. That means that several units can be combined with each other.

    Most recently, two analyst firms called for a target price of EUR 34. Both Pareto Securities AS and First Berlin recommend the share as a buy. Especially the high order intake in the first half of the year gives hope that the Company is hitting a nerve in the market and can grow strongly, according to First Berlin. Another factor in Enapter's favor is that the Company plans to start mass production at its site in North Rhine-Westphalia next year. Enapter already manufactures in Pisa, Italy. The stock combines German engineering with future technology. The focus on low production costs for hydrogen is right. The share is exciting.

    Daimler: Planning for 2027

    Daimler, in its truck division, could use hydrogen. Although the die seems to be cast in favor of lithium batteries in passenger cars, hydrogen could play to its strengths in commercial vehicles. In May, Daimler started a test run with a new hydrogen prototype. The goals are clear: ranges of 1,000 kilometers are desired - under safe and comfortable conditions. The hydrogen truck is also to undertake test runs on the road before year end. The prototype is seen as an important step toward series production and it could go into series production in 2027.

    Although there is still a lot of time before then, the stock market likes to anticipate such visions of the future. Freight carriers who are climate-neutral are likely to enjoy advantages soon - and, above all, will be able to travel more cheaply. The Daimler share has also recently become cheaper. Over three months, the share price fell by 8.5%. The momentum is thus somewhat gone. However, in the long term, the stock has a future - Daimler, like other German automakers, has left the valley of tears.


    If you want to back hydrogen, you have to think from the perspective of potential customers. Here, the price often plays a decisive role. Enapter is perfectly positioned with its technology to gain market share and make hydrogen green and cheap. In contrast to NEL, the value is also still considered an insider tip.

    After the Trump trades and the subsequent rally, is the Trump hammer coming next? After the stock markets reached historic highs in recent weeks, a sharp correction followed on Monday. The reason for this was the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, Mexico, and China. The consolidation could continue to expand, given that the Buffett Indicator, which looks at the market capitalization of all US companies in relation to economic output, is at an all-time high. Nevertheless, there are undervalued value stocks that could escape the downtrend.

    The Chinese language model DeepSeek is stirring up the AI market. The entire tech sector is reacting nervously and showing significant price losses. Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving indispensable in many areas. Large language models like ChatGPT are already helping to solve complex tasks, and their further development promises enormous advances for the economy and society. The new Chinese language model is seen as a serious challenge to US dominance in AI and threatens the dominance of the hyped US companies. The AI assistant introduced on January 10th recently overtook rival ChatGPT as the top-rated free software application in Apple's App Store in the US. A shot across the bow for Nvidia and associated companies. Some green energy stocks are also coming into focus. Is it time to jump on board now?

    "Drill Baby Drill," said Donald Trump in his inauguration speech. The US wants to produce more oil and natural gas domestically, but while oil is still in demand, the US already has enough natural gas today to export. What should be done with the gas when the storage facilities are full? One option is to use the surplus gas to produce blue hydrogen. The national energy emergency declaration will reduce regulatory hurdles, paving the way for projects like blue hydrogen production. As a result, the price of blue hydrogen will decrease. This is reason enough to look at three companies banking on hydrogen within their business model.
