The fuel for corporate growth is often an investment. With new products or the development of previously untapped potential, the next expansion steps can be taken. But first, the initial step must be taken, i.e., raising or acquiring the necessary funds. We present three companies that have raised a lot of money this year and have excellent prospects in 2021.

    NORDEX SE - high order backlog

    Nordex Group develops, produces and distributes onshore wind turbines. The range of services extends from the production of one turbine to the turnkey installation of an entire wind farm. The Nordex Group has installed more than 30 GW of wind power capacity in over 40 markets.

    At the beginning of December, the Company raised EUR 200 million as part of a capital increase. These funds are intended to achieve the Company's medium-term strategic goals and strengthen its balance sheet. In the past fiscal year, the northern German Company generated sales of EUR 3.3 billion. The current order backlog of EUR 7.9 billion underlines the momentum of business development. In addition, a higher margin can be achieved by using the latest product platform.

    Since the capital increase, the share price has gained almost 20%. Investors are convinced of the Group's growth prospects. The high order backlog shows that Nordex can continue to increase its sales substantially.

    FOKUS MINING CORPORATION - The share price has multiplied, what now?

    Fokus Mining is a Canadian exploration Company dedicated to finding precious metal deposits in the province of Quebec. Focus is on the Galloway project and in particular the exploration of the so-called Golden Triangle. The shares have made a brilliant rally this year and rose from CAD 0.05 to currently CAD 0.33, the high in summer was even CAD 0.46.

    Given the sharp rise in the share price, the warrants with an average exercise price of CAD 0.27 are now in the money. As a result, the diluted (i.e. when the warrants are exercised) market capitalization is approximately CAD 29 million compared to a market capitalization of approximately CAD 19 million without this effect.

    The Galloway property is located less than 30 km west of the Rouyn-Noranda mining district and has good infrastructure. The project comprises 3 concessions and 95 claims totalling 2,668 hectares. The property is located on the Cadillac-Larder Lake fault, a zone that the Company says has enabled numerous mines to produce more than 100 million ounces of gold over the past 100 years.

    Within the project, Fokus Mining has defined four zones. The Morris, GG and Hendrick zones form the "Golden Triangle" due to their arrangement. The fourth zone, Hurd, is located 1.7 km away.

    A total of 40,000 meters of drilling are scheduled to be drilled in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate the property's economic potential. The Company has raised sufficient funds for this purpose this year. We are eagerly awaiting new drilling results.

    GLOBAL FASHION GROUP SA - targeting regional markets

    Global Fashion Group addresses different regional markets through four established e-commerce platforms. The Luxembourg-based Company aims to establish itself as a leading fashion and lifestyle provider in growth regions, with a total of one billion potential consumers. Currently, the product range comprises 10,000 global, local and own brands. The customer base is growing dynamically and comprises presently 15.4 million people.

    The strategic logic is to position the Company in markets with large populations that have below-average e-commerce penetration. The regions defined are LATAM (Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia), CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus), SEA (Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Taiwan, Hong Kong) and ANZ (Australia, New Zealand). The regional focus markets are assigned the different platforms Dafiti, Lamoda, ZALORA and THE ICONIC, adapted to regional specifics.

    In order to drive further growth, a capital increase with a volume of EUR 120 million was placed in mid-November. Investors who took advantage of the price of EUR 7.30 per share at the time were already almost 30% ahead yesterday. The market capitalization of the SDAX-listed Company is EUR 2 billion. In the current fiscal year, the Group could achieve sales of around 1.3 billion and a small operating profit. According to corporate planning, the Group should then also be in the black next year.

    Big Dividends from Mercedes, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco

    • Volatility

    The stock markets are entering a challenging phase. Stock market history shows that in years with US midterm elections, the preceding months are often volatile and regularly result in losses. August and September, in particular, tend to show significant weakness. This does not necessarily mean the pattern will repeat, but recent market developments are sending warning signals. Optimism is running very high, which makes indices vulnerable to corrections. The latest Bank of America fund manager survey made this clear: professional investors' cash allocation currently stands at just 3.5%, a historically low level. In other words, funds have relatively little capital available to deploy into purchases during market setbacks. One alternative during such phases is high-dividend stocks, which also offer long-term opportunities. That is why today we are taking a closer look at Mercedes-Benz, RE Royalties and British American Tobacco.

    250% Opportunity with a Newcomer vs. Gold Giants: Barrick, Agnico Eagle and Kobo Resources in Focus

    When inflation erodes purchasing power and global debt mountains rise, it is traditionally time for humanity's oldest safeguard against crisis: GOLD. In the current turbulent environment, the precious metal is once again proving its historic role as an indestructible rock in the storm. While paper currencies are being gradually devalued by ongoing inflation, the intrinsic value of the precious metal remains intact. This fundamental confidence is currently being bolstered by unprecedented momentum, as central banks worldwide are buying up physical gold at a record-breaking pace to make their own foreign exchange reserves crisis-proof. Those who wish not only to protect their wealth amid this shift in the monetary climate but also to actively profit from the rising demand for gold will find the most exciting opportunities among producers and explorers. The stocks of giants Agnico Eagle and Barrick Mining offer the perfect combination of operational excellence, first-class mine locations, and defensive dividend strength. For more speculative investors, the agile explorer Kobo Resources offers a highly attractive "multibagger" opportunity in West Africa. It is worth taking a closer look.

    When an economy lives beyond its means, many ultimately pay the price: the currency loses value, the economy suffers, and the stock market becomes more volatile. In the US, the national debt now stands at nearly USD 40 trillion, as Handelsblatt warned in its Wednesday edition. According to the report, the US Treasury is increasingly attempting to address the problem by issuing debt securities with ever-shorter maturities, with all the associated risks. Alarm bells have long been ringing in the financial markets. Those looking to protect their wealth should consider tangible assets. Gold could once again become an attractive option—we present an exciting opportunity and shed light on the current state of the financial system.
