No, Donald Trump was not the focus of attention this week, even though the US president invited people to a parade to celebrate his 79th birthday. Instead, the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel dominated the last few days of the trading week. So far, investors seem relatively unimpressed by the flaring conflict. Energy stocks, especially oil producers, have risen sharply, which could signal an end to the correction of the past few months.

    Novo Nordisk – Continuing upward

    While the Danes were the celebrated stock market stars last year, becoming the most valuable company in Europe, the euphoria has evaporated dramatically in recent months. Between June 2024 and April 2025, Novo shares fell by a whopping 62% to an interim low of USD 57. Since then, the price has rebounded, currently standing at USD 79.83. The 200 EMA is around USD 83, and the downward trend that has formed since the all-time high is also in this range. A sustained break could take the share price to the horizontal resistance level at USD 112.52.

    Novo Nordisk has recently made two significant announcements. Firstly, after consultation with regulatory authorities, the Company announced that it would be moving its experimental weight loss drug Amycretin into late-stage development.

    Second, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced earlier this week in Paris that Novo and the US tech giant will be working together. The partnership is related to the agreement between Novo Nordisk and the Danish Center for AI Innovation (DCAI) to use "Gefion", Denmark's national AI supercomputer. The AI specialist announced this on Wednesday at the VivaTech conference in Paris.

    The collaboration will focus on developing customized AI models and AI agents to support Novo Nordisk in both early drug discovery and clinical development. In addition, there are plans to use advanced simulations and physics-based AI technologies.

    dynaCERT – Expansion in sight

    The hydrogen specialist's share price has been trading sideways in the CAD 0.15 range for months. However, a lot is going on behind the scenes that will likely lead to stronger movements soon. The Company, valued at CAD 71.32 million, has been listed on the OTCQB Venture Market in the US since June, which should lead to an early increase in liquidity for the stock.

    From a fundamental perspective, the signs continue to point to expansion. With its patented HydraGEN™ product line, developed over many years, dynaCERT has built up an effective tool for increasing the efficiency of combustion engines. Depending on the area of application, HydraGEN™ enables fuel savings of between 5% and 19%, which is a clear advantage for buyers in times of high energy prices and growing sustainability requirements. In addition, dynaCERT's HydraLytica™ analysis software enables the documentation of emissions savings, for example, of CO2 and nitrogen oxides, which can be used to generate tradable emission credits.

    Following the successful "bauma 2025" trade fair, pre-production of 1,000 units was started to meet the expected demand from transport companies, logistics providers, and construction equipment operators. With rising energy prices, experts expect oil prices to remain well above USD 100 despite the current correction, which should lead to stronger demand for HydraGEN™. With an investment of USD 6,000 per unit, the payback period is less than a year in some cases.

    Verbio – Trump gives hope

    Biofuel producer Verbio bucked the trend in the past trading week. With a gain of around 13% to EUR 10.91, the SDAX stock ranks at the top of the leaderboards. If the horizontal resistance level at EUR 11.35 is broken, Verbio shares are likely to make another attempt at their previous high for the year of EUR 13.03.

    After the quarterly figures were announced, the research firm Jefferies reiterated its rating of "Hold" and a price target of EUR 10.50. The Zörbig-based company thus fell slightly short of expectations due to lower profitability in the biodiesel business.

    Nevertheless, thanks to Donald Trump, Verbio offers considerable potential. The old and new president of the United States plans to increase the promotion of biofuels. The new regulations presented by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide for an increase in the blending quota for biofuels to 24.02 billion gallons. This represents an increase of just under 8% over the previous year and marks a new record. Conventional fuels such as gasoline and diesel will be affected, with larger quantities of biofuels such as ethanol or biodiesel to be added in the future. At the same time, the EPA plans to restrict the use of imported biofuel components.

    Verbio already operates a production plant in the US state of Iowa, in the city of Nevada. Verbio also plans to expand its production capacities in the United States. The Company is also active in Canada, where it produces biodiesel.


    Biofuel producer Verbio could benefit from increased subsidies in the US. Novo Nordisk announced two promising developments. dynaCERT increased pre-production of its devices due to high demand.

    The storm in the pharmaceutical sector continues to gain momentum! Expiring patents and struggling healthcare systems are shaking up old, high-margin blockbuster drugs, as societal changes and government budget constraints shake the foundations of costly pharmaceutical development. As patents expire, many generic manufacturers find themselves in a race against time. Market shares are being reshuffled, heralding a new era of growth. Amid this dynamic rally, four well-known industry players are positioning themselves on different fronts to capitalize on the market shifts. After several difficult years, the Leverkusen-based pharmaceutical giant Bayer is fighting its way back with a completely revamped pipeline. Also in the fast lane is the German biosimilar hopeful from Munich, with its first products already on the market. At Hamburg-based drug discovery company Evotec, restructuring is still underway; the key driver is its state-of-the-art, AI-powered multivalent platform. Meanwhile, the Danish giant Novo Nordisk continues to ride the global obesity and diabetes wave, driving forward the next generation of its blockbuster drugs. Analysts do not have it easy, but there are plenty of opportunities for investors.

    The boom in weight-loss drugs is creating a billion-dollar market within the pharmaceutical industry, with an annual volume of USD 100 billion. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are battling for dominance, while Merck is also entering the fray, albeit still in the early stages. BioNxt Solutions aims to deliver established active ingredients via a dissolvable film, targeting enormous potential with a comparatively low-risk approach. For BioNTech, a substantial cash reserve will determine how much time the company has to deliver its next growth spurt. Where does the greatest stock-market opportunity lie?

    dynaCERT, Volkswagen and Plug Power: Between Breakthrough and Cost Pressure! Who Will Take Off and Who Will Fall Behind?

    Volkswagen shows how rising costs and intensifying competition can put even an industry veteran under pressure. Have the deep cuts and strategic adjustments come too late, and can closer partnerships help turn things around? Plug Power recently landed a notable major order. Yet its gross margin in the latest quarter came close to zero. dynaCERT is taking a very different approach. The Canadian company makes diesel engines more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly through retrofit technology. The innovative bridging technology has proven itself in numerous pilot projects, and commercialization is now gaining momentum. Analysts at the research firm GBC believe the stock is significantly undervalued.
