  • Sustainability

The motto "After me, the deluge" has had its day. Today, industrial companies have to take responsibility for their actions. That includes cleaning up pollution and offsetting CO2 emissions from production. Hence the trade in emission rights. It is also favorable for a company's image if it is sustainable and communicates this to its customers. We present three stocks that can score points with sustainability.

    Nordex: When will the wind change?

    The wind turbine experts at Nordex are perfectly positioned when it comes to the energy of the future. For years, Nordex has been erecting wind turbines primarily in the North Sea and therefore has expertise in all aspects of the future business. But is this enough for a successful share price performance? In recent quarters, the Company has made it clear that it has been working on efficiency and has developed a new platform to cut costs to this end. In the meantime, a large part of the new business is already being processed via this new Delta 4000 platform. But if you look at the operating margin, it is still only around 2.5%. In 2021 as a whole, this margin is expected to increase to a value of up to 5.5%. However, this is still not a liberating blow for Nordex.

    The share has been languishing for a year and lost almost 10% of its value in the period. There is no turnaround in sight in the short term, either. Nordex wants to gain a foothold in India and make a breakthrough there, but the market launch is likely to be associated with risks. Although Nordex is making an important contribution to the energy transition, investors remain skeptical. The stock is not very attractive in the short and medium-term.

    Memiontec: Secure earnings around water

    The situation is somewhat different for the water treatment specialists from Memiontec. Here, the share price rose by double digits during the past five trading days alone. Memiontec is based in Singapore and is mainly active in Indonesia, but also on the domestic market and in China. Memiontec supplies complete solutions for water and wastewater management and tailors these modular packages to individual customers. In addition to the national water authority PDAM, Memiontec also works with the infrastructure developer Jakpro and other companies in Asia.

    What makes Memiontec's business special is that the Company has expanded its range of services to include long-term maintenance contracts that ensure revenue even after a project has been completed. In addition, there are sales agreements relating to purified water, which often have a very long-term duration and can thus also be regarded as a stable pillar in Memiontec's business. Since clean water will be a central topic of the future and Asia, with its many urban centers is significantly dependent on clean water, the Memiontec share can be an exciting alternative for speculative investors. The Company has been on the market for twenty years and has built up a good business around water treatment.

    JinkoSolar: Are ESG risks lurking here?

    JinkoSolar is also doing good business - the prices are right, as is the quality. In addition, the Chinese Company should have fewer problems obtaining the necessary raw materials for production. But there is also a risk involved: Chinese mines are sometimes considered dirty and cannot be reconciled with many Western environmental protection and sustainability standards. If you look closely along the supply chains, you are likely to discover ESG risks in JinkoSolar's products as well - photovoltaics or not.

    Nevertheless, the share is currently exciting: The value is trading shortly before a resistance zone around EUR 60. Further tailwind from the overall market or the Company itself is necessary for the share to overcome this resistance. However, after the rally of around 75% in three months, investors should not expect too much. It may well be that JinkoSolar needs to gain momentum first.


    The Memiontec share has gone through a consolidation phase and recently broke out of this formation to the upside. Although the water specialist also still faces resistance at SGD 0.89, the chart picture here looks more promising in the short term than at JinkoSolar. While the chart of Nordex hardly makes you want to invest and JinkoSolar has already performed well, Memiontec could offer opportunities in the short term. With a market capitalization of around EUR 110 million, the share remains a small cap that is correspondingly speculative.

    War on the horizon, cold winter, and unresolved energy issues! CHAR Technologies has the answers

    • cleantech
    • renewableenergy
    • Sustainability
    • Energy

    Despite all the geopolitical uncertainties, the capital markets are experiencing the largest and most powerful commodity rally of all time. This is driving up input costs for industry, further fueling already stubborn inflation. The fact that tariffs, wage increases, and high resource prices are affecting store shelves also implies significantly higher interest rates in the near future. Investors should consider alternatives and, especially for highly valued stocks, set tight stop-loss limits. However, with regard to unresolved energy issues, there are innovative solutions that can even be purchased on the stock market. Cleantech specialist CHAR Technologies has an interesting business model that makes sense in all weather conditions. A closer look reveals good medium-term prospects.

    Flight to substance: How Chevron, Hapag-Lloyd, and RE Royalties are weatherproofing portfolios

    Many investors are currently experiencing a vague sense of unease when they look at their portfolios. On paper, the returns of recent years look fantastic, driven by an unprecedented boom in artificial intelligence (AI). But when taking a closer look, one can see the cluster risk: The MSCI World, once synonymous with broad diversification, is now effectively a technology fund. Giants such as NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft dominate the indices to such an extent that a correction in the tech sector would drag down the entire portfolio. In this phase of market saturation, with valuations running high and global politics seeming more unpredictable than ever, investors are returning to an old virtue: cash flow. Dividend stocks are back in vogue – not as a boring addition, but as an indispensable anchor. We analyse three companies that promise stability in this environment: the indestructible energy giant Chevron, the logistics group Hapag-Lloyd, and the Canadian energy specialist RE Royalties, which has established a particularly smart model.

    Double dividends for Amazon & Co.: How CHAR Technologies combines the business models of Clean Energy Fuels and Carbon Streaming

    • Sustainability
    • CO2
    • renewableenergy
    • cleantech
    • decarbonization

    The global energy landscape is currently undergoing a quiet but tremendous change. While electric trucks are still often discussed in the headlines, the titans of the logistics industry have long been making progress on a completely different track. Driven by the need to improve their carbon footprints immediately, giants such as Amazon and UPS are investing heavily in renewable natural gas (RNG). This trend has triggered strong demand for green molecules that can use existing infrastructure without having to wait for the expansion of the power grids. But parallel to this physical market, a second, purely financial sector is booming in the background: trading in certificates for the permanent removal of carbon dioxide. Investors are now willing to pay premiums for verified, high-quality certificates. The Canadian company CHAR Technologies is positioning itself in both of these markets. CHAR combines the best of both worlds. Its plants produce the RNG urgently needed by the logistics industry and, at the same time, generate the premium certificates that are currently the most expensive on the carbon market through the production of biochar.
