Artificial Intelligence – Fabulous profits with Xiaomi, Credissential, D-Wave, and Palantir
It is incredible how politics can sometimes drive markets. US President Donald Trump had broken away from Ukraine aid due to a dispute with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the alarm bells were immediately ringing in Europe. Defense stocks went through the roof, and EU governments scrambled to come up with new special packages to rearm NATO countries, totaling up to EUR 800 billion. The flustered chaos must have amused Vladimir Putin. However, a correction is also currently taking place in the long-hyped AI stocks. Some of the losses here are quite painful. The stock market seems to have discarded its "one-way street decree". Accumulated profits should be secured as quickly as possible. We delve deeper into the context.

Bayer, BioNxt Solutions, Novo Nordisk – The pressure is on
The biotech sector has started the new year with momentum, and the acquisition wave is heating up, as confirmed by Johnson & Johnson's acquisition of Intra-Cellular Therapies for USD 15 billion. The trend will likely continue as major pharmaceutical companies are under massive pressure to strengthen their portfolios. After all, drug patents worth over USD 200 billion will expire by the end of the decade. This will force the giants to make strategic acquisitions.

Is a 100% rally on the horizon? Evotec, D-Wave, and AI pearl NetraMark
The sell-off in the tech sector continues at the beginning of the week. If sentiment changes, a 100% rally could start. At least, that is what analysts at D-Wave expect. Overall, analysts take a positive view of last year's quantum star. The development of the AI pearl NetraMark is also positive. With its NetraAI platform, the Company aims to revolutionize the development of drugs. The first customers are in place, and the latest study data is promising. Even in the current sell-off, the stock wants to go up. The positive news is currently evaporating at Evotec. The stock is threatening to fall below EUR 6. Are there further write-offs?

Olalla! And here comes the consolidation! Are these already buying opportunities for SMCI, Benton Resources, Palantir, and Meta?
Whenever investors use the term "one-way street", the market tends to correct. This time, several factors were at play, such as failed peace efforts, rising debt, increasing interest rates, and the threat of tariffs from the Trump administration. All four points have a long-term recessive effect, as they weaken consumer sentiment and purchasing power due to higher interest rates and product payments. In the short term, they also weigh on overheated growth portfolios. It is, therefore, worthwhile to take a closer look at the well-known protagonists. After all, buying opportunities arise time and again – timing is key!

Renk Group, Almonty Industries, Hensoldt – NATO calls for an arms race!
In a world where geopolitical fires are shaking the global security architecture, an industrial arms race is forming behind the scenes. While NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week once again emphasized the "urgent need" for accelerated arms production – from drones to satellites – European states are setting record sums in motion: Germany is loosening its debt brake for a EUR 500-billion special fund, and the EU is planning military loans of 150 billion. But who will benefit if Europe wants to reduce not only its defense budgets but also its dependence on US arms deliveries? Three companies are in the spotlight whose stocks have long been surfing in the wake of the arms race. Where is it worth getting in?

Alibaba, naoo, Amazon: Where innovation leads and profits rise
In early March 2025, Alibaba made a move with its AI model QwQ-32B, which is set to challenge DeepSeek. The stock immediately rose by 8.4%, and even institutional investors like Berkshire are getting involved. Markets are buzzing and are fueled by user interactions on social networks. A hidden gem in the USD 234 billion social media market is naoo AG. The Swiss company focuses on local networking and rewards users with an AI-based point system that they can use at local businesses. With 75,000 users and 6.5 million impressions, interactions are increasing rapidly. Amazon is focusing on real-time streaming of computer games in its AWS division. With GameLift Streams, they have been conquering the gaming market since March 2025, bringing games directly to billions of devices – a cost-efficient game changer for developers and investors.

Attention: IPO fever, now it's really starting! Hensoldt, Power Metallic, Renk, and thyssenkrupp
Before the election and after the election. At the beginning of the year, there was still a fight over the debt brake, but with the US pulling out of Ukraine aid, it seems that anything goes. Last week, in addition to an ECB interest rate cut, an EUR 800 billion package for armaments and infrastructure was proposed. This caused the DAX 40 index to surge, especially defense and construction stocks, which gained an average of 30%. Hensoldt and thyssenkrupp even made a giant leap upwards. The new all-time high for the index is now 23,475 points. Could there be an IPO from Essen soon? The probability for TKMS is increasing. However, it remains to be seen whether the significant premiums are sustainable; on Friday, there were initial sell-offs. Our specialty title, Power Metallic (formerly Power Nickel), continued to rise. We are looking into the crystal ball.

BYD, European Lithium, Lufthansa – It is high time to act
For the first time in history, the German leading index DAX was able to surpass the magic mark of 23,000 points last week, thanks to the possible new Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the sudden lifting of the debt brake. However, the problems remain. Since the start of Donald Trump's second term in office, the global economic order has been in jeopardy. Trade wars and punitive tariffs are on the agenda. Europe must be able to act independently of its big brother in the future, both in terms of security and the supply of raw materials.

thyssenkrupp, Globex Mining, Super Micro Computer – Defense, critical raw materials, and the AI boom drive profits
As the world moves towards a new era of tariffs, resource wars, and technology hegemony in 2025, there are three companies that can profit from the current hot topics. The EU has not only expanded its list of critical raw materials but has also announced billion-euro investments in domestic supply chains. This shows how important access to critical raw materials is for keeping one's economy running. Thyssenkrupp is taking advantage of the demand for high-security technology for maritime projects, Globex Mining is controlling key raw materials for high-tech projects and decarbonization, and Super Micro Computer is cooling the servers that are making the AI boom possible in the first place.

100% RALLY! And now? Renk, Salzgitter, and AppLovin partner MiMedia
Can it continue to go up after a 100% rally? There is a lot to suggest that the still largely unknown MiMedia stock could keep going. The cloud pearl is on the verge of a revenue leap and is relying on AppLovin to monetize its cloud services – itself an AI highflyer but now overvalued. MiMedia, on the other hand, wants to start scaling in the current year. Salzgitter caused a stir on Wednesday with a share price jump of over 15%. Even though profits were taken yesterday, analysts see further upside potential for the stock. Could a revaluation be possible? There are good reasons for profit-taking after Renk's 10% rally this year, but the stock wants to keep rising. Deutsche Bank recommends buying, but there is a big catch.
