Several ingredients are needed to make the energy transition and electromobility a sustainable success. First and foremost, raw materials such as copper and lithium. Then there is a need for energy sources such as solar and wind, and finally, a suitable infrastructure. Therefore, within the megatrend, there are various starting points for profiting with corresponding shares. We have three promising stocks in our bag. Who will win the race in 2022?

    Nevada Copper - Production expansion within reach

    A few days ago, Nevada Copper gave a positive outlook on the further development of the Pumpkin Hollow copper project. But not only on an operational level are the signs pointing to growth; the general conditions for the copper producer also remain positive given a strong increase in demand for raw materials.

    "The Company continues to build on the operational improvements made over the last two quarters, accelerating the development and production ramp-up," said Randy Buffington, president and chief executive officer." According to the Company, the deployment of additional equipment, more manpower, and more efficient operational processes resulted in the highest development rates achieved this year. "We are on track to complete 1,100 feet of lateral development this month, which will position the Company to mine the first layer of the high-grade Sugar Cube as planned next month," the Company leader said.

    The Pumpkin Hollow copper project in the US state of Nevada has significant reserves and resources of copper, gold and silver. In addition to ongoing high-grade production at the underground mine, an open pit project is in the development stage and moving toward a feasibility study. In recent months, there have been several unplanned shutdowns of underground production, which put the share price under pressure. Nevertheless, the Canadians were recently able to secure a considerable CAD 114 million through a capital increase and further financing commitments. The Company is currently valued at around CAD 300 million. The majority of analysts classify the title as a doubler. Drilling data from the high-grade zone should boost the share price significantly in 2022.

    Nordex - 2022 will also be a challenging year

    It was not a good year for Nordex shareholders. The share certificates are again approaching the course lows of the year. The northern German manufacturer of innovative onshore wind turbines is still suffering from the effects of the Corona pandemic. These are problems with supply chains, logistics and sharply increased raw material prices.

    The Group also lowered its operating profit expectations for the full year for these reasons. Nordex recently quoted a target EBITDA margin of 1.0%, down sharply from 4.0 to 5.5%. In plain language: the Group will make a loss on the bottom line in 2021. A company statement says: "It should be noted that the further development of the pandemic consequences will continue to affect business development unpredictably and that the assumptions underlying this forecast are therefore subject to greater uncertainty than under normal circumstances."

    There is also disruption on the demand side. Joe Biden's billion-dollar social and climate package is wobbling. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin recently announced that he could not approve it, drawing enormous criticism from his own party. The House of Representatives had already passed the package in November with a slim Democratic majority. The other chamber of Congress, the Senate, has yet to give its approval, and here, every vote counts. It remains to be seen whether Manchin can be swayed. The climate package provides more than USD 500 billion to fight the climate crisis, including investments in renewable energy and tax incentives for purchasing electric cars.

    E.ON - Outperforming the DAX

    With a price increase of more than 30% in 2021, the DAX stock has left the German benchmark index behind. However, analysts now consider the stock exhausted with a 2022 P/E ratio of 14. Current developments such as the scheduled shutdown of three nuclear power plants in Germany at the end of 2021 and 2022 have long since been priced in. At the end of 2021, the Gundremmingen C (Bavaria), Grohnde (Lower Saxony), and Brokdorf (Schleswig-Holstein) reactors with a total capacity of more than 4000 megawatts will be shut down. The Grohnde and Brokdorf nuclear power plants are owned by E.ON. According to the Working Group on Energy Balances, nuclear power accounted for just under 12% of the electricity generated in Germany in 2021.


    The big picture with energy transition and electromobility opens up numerous investment opportunities. However, the devil is in the details. Nordex will continue to suffer from the difficult conditions next year. After a very good performance in 2021, the E.ON share should develop more in line with the overall market in 2022. We rate Nevada Copper as the most promising. The rising copper price and the expansion of production should boost the share price.

    Copper massively missing - what to do? Nordex, Orestone Mining, JinkoSolar - Greentech shares in the focus of investors

    • Mining

    The energy transition in Europe can only work if critical metals such as copper, lithium or nickel remain available. For an almost complete electrification of road traffic from 2035 onwards, quantities of copper 3 to 7 times the current consumption are required. At present, however, hardly any new mines are coming on stream. It will therefore be exciting to see which copper source the EU will soon tap in order to supply industrial sites with the coveted metal. So the EU Council of Experts should urgently look for a few mining consultants and have the current decisions verified by the Fairy Tale Department. How do we manage it after all?

    Barrick Gold, Alerio Gold, Newmont - Can these stocks defy the interest rate scare?

    What is next for gold? Since the beginning of November, gold prices have risen rapidly by over USD 300. Inflation figures in the US fell significantly during these months. Last week, therefore, all eyes were again on the inflation data in the US. Inflation fell in January, but not as much as experts had expected. Interest rate fears are already spreading again, pushing the indices down. If interest rates continue to rise, this will draw investors away from the gold market. However, state banks continue to buy gold. In January, Turkey purchased 68 tons of gold. We take a closer look at three gold companies.

    Copper on the rise: Kodiak Copper, BASF and JinkoSolar benefit

    • Copper
    • renewableenergies

    Global copper demand is estimated to double by 2035, requiring new mines, mine expansions and technological improvements at existing mines to boost production. One beneficiary of this boom is Kodiak Copper. Assay results from the recently completed drilling in late 2022 have increased the known mineralized envelope at both the Gate & Prime Zone discoveries at its British Columbia project. At the 6th International Investment Forum on February 15, CEO Claudia Tornquist will share more about this with interested investors. BASF is also taking steps to bridge the looming copper shortages due to high demand. A new cooperation is expected to accelerate copper mining. JinkoSolar, on the other hand, as a user of the highly sought-after metal, has struck another new deal. Hedge fund managers are excited.
