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.

    After the outstanding stock market years of 2023 and 2024, many market participants assumed there would be a sharp correction on the stock markets at the beginning of the year. So far, however, both the DAX and the Dow Jones have proved the pessimists wrong and continued their upward trends despite increasing political and economic uncertainties. Although valuations in general, such as the Shiller P/E ratio, which is at the second-highest level in its history, already appear ambitious, there are still opportunities for disproportionate price increases in some companies.

    The energy transition and technological progress are shaping the global economic landscape in the first quarter. The German energy company RWE is investing in an innovative offshore wind farm control center on the German North Sea coast that will control the growing fleet of wind turbines from 2026. Renewable energies consume a lot of copper in their construction, bringing the explorer Nova Pacific Metals into focus. The Canadian company is preparing to start drilling at its strategically important Lara VMS project with a high copper content on Vancouver Island. The timing is ideal, as global demand for copper will increase to 50 million tons by 2035 – driven by energy transition projects like those of RWE, where a modern wind turbine alone requires 30 tons of copper. With secured financing of CAD 2.86 million and experienced expertise in the team, the chances for the drilling and further measures are excellent. The Chinese retail giant Alibaba is duly recognized as a global technology leader by the US Fortune Magazine and is ranked 3rd in the Internet Services and Retail category. What the publishers considered particularly important has to do with an AI highlight...

    Siemens Energy, XXIX Metal, Volkswagen – Is the energy transition in danger due to US tariffs?

    The euro is falling, mainly due to the recent interest rate cut by the ECB. This puts the interest rate difference at around 1.5%. At the same time, a trade war is looming due to the new US tariff policy. After America raised tariffs on imports from Canada to 25% and on energy to 10%, Justin Trudeau, in turn, raised tariffs by 25%. In addition, measures in the raw materials and energy sectors are being considered. For example, refineries may no longer process US oil. The Canadians supply 85% of their copper to the US. If supplies were to be stopped, this would potentially drive up copper prices and, at the same time, jeopardize the energy transition.
