Quantum stocks have come through Monday's AI quake relatively well. This shows that investors are differentiating and not blindly selling. D-Wave has proven good timing with a strategic move. Is the next purchase wave coming? Saturn Oil & Gas also appears ripe for rising prices. The Canadian oil producer is planning a massive free cash flow in the coming years and is buying back substantial amounts of new shares. The stock can be worthwhile for traders and long-term investors. TUI also makes a positive impression. The tourism Company's stock is currently gathering strength after the price rally in the second half of 2024. Buy now?

    Saturn Oil & Gas: Share price attracts entry

    Saturn management seems to be confident in its own share. Since October 2024, insiders have purchased approximately 440,000 Saturn shares. In addition, as of November 5, 2024, the Company has repurchased around 2.2 million of its shares since the summer of 2024. Currently, Saturn shares are trading at CAD 2.11, at the lower end of its multi-year sideways movement. For traders, this presents an opportunity to move towards the upper end at CAD 3. A longer-term investment in the stock could also be worthwhile, as there are good reasons why Saturn shares might break out of the sideways channel in the current year.

    The ambitious margin improvement targets of the oil producer serve as a price driver for the shares of Saturn Oil & Gas. In 2025, an average production of 38,000 to 40,000 oil equivalents per day should generate an impressive free cash flow of CAD 125 to CAD 165 million. This would correspond to a free cash flow per share of CAD 0.65 to CAD 0.85. By way of comparison, Saturn's shares are currently trading at CAD 2.11. The free cash flow is to be used, among other things, for the agreed share buyback program, the reduction of debt to CAD 700-740 million and opportunistic acquisitions.

    From 2025 to 2027, a cumulative free cash flow of CAD 450-475 million is expected to be generated. In terms of prospects, it is not surprising that Saturn shares are recommended as a "Buy" by four of the six analysts covering them, according to marketscreener.com. The median target price is CAD 4.42. To reach this level, the Saturn share price would have to more than double.

    TUI: Double-digit prices soon?

    TUI shareholders have been waiting for a sustained breakout above the EUR 8 resistance level since 2023. At the end of last year, it seemed that the time had come. The tourism Company's shares rose dynamically to just under EUR 9. But then they ran out of steam and fell to EUR 7.50 within two weeks.

    As has been the case for years, analysts tend to be cautious about TUI. Although the majority advise buying or adding to positions, the average price target of EUR 10.26 offers limited potential. Deutsche Bank is among the TUI bulls. Its analysts believe the tourism company is on the right track. TUI could even exceed market expectations in terms of sales. They, therefore, recommend the share as a "Buy" and see a fair value of EUR 11.

    D-Wave: Milestone in focus

    The stock proved its strength in Monday's AI quake. With a gain of over 5%, it almost made up for the previous day's losses. The management of the quantum computing specialist demonstrated good timing in the latest capital increase. Last week, the Company raised around USD 150 million in fresh capital by selling shares. The average issue price of the new shares sold on the stock exchange was USD 6.10. The Company announced that it now has cash reserves of USD 320 million.

    According to CEO Dr. Alan Baratz, the additional capital will enable D-Wave to implement its plan to achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow. The Company is considered one of the market leaders in quantum computing, with customers such as Siemens Healthineers, Lockheed Martin, and Mastercard.


    Saturn Oil & Gas shares are currently trading at the lower end of its trading range. However, the Company seems interesting not only for traders but also offers opportunities for longer-term investors due to its high planned cash flows and the ongoing share buyback program. The successful capital increase and stability during the AI quake indicate a continued positive development for the D-Wave shares. TUI seems ripe for a breakout above EUR 8, but the weak economic forecasts for Germany and Europe could sooner or later also impact the travel market.

    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.

    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.

    The earnings season for the full year 2024 is in full swing, with quite a few companies significantly outperforming analyst forecasts. Another topic currently keeping the world in suspense is US President Donald Trump's "America First" policy. As can be seen from the negotiations with Ukraine, the "new sheriff in town" is concerned with securing rare earth deposits. When it comes to the metal tungsten, however, the US government seems to be already one step ahead, and a lesser-known company is likely to emerge as the winner here.
