ThyssenKrupp Nucera, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen Stocks: Buy or Wait?
In light of global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, hydrogen is coming into focus as a promising alternative in the transportation sector. The quick refueling times and greater ranges of hydrogen are particularly enticing, potentially solving the challenges of electromobility. Fleet operators must also become active, especially in response to the savings demanded by the government. Despite the clear potential for more sustainable mobility, hydrogen companies currently find themselves in a challenging situation on the stock markets, plagued by market uncertainties and the challenges of a nascent technology. Today, we look at three companies whose business is based on hydrogen.

Takeover fever in the biotech sector! Will MorphoSys now be followed by Defence Therapeutics, Evotec and Bayer?
It has happened: Novartis is bidding for MorphoSys. Once again, a long-lasting and persistent rumour mill eventually confirms itself. Those who remained loyal to MorphoSys despite heavy selling last fall have now made a profit of over 300%. If we turn the analytical magnifying glass on the sector, we can see that the speculative biotech stock market segment has started to move again since the challenging year 2023. Hopes of falling interest rates in the near future, along with several other M&A hopes, have led to steady inflows into listed bio-ETFs, resulting in fund managers having recently adjusted their weightings upwards. We analyze which stocks are currently making the loudest noise.

Defense Metals, BYD, Rheinmetall - No high-tech technology without this resource
In today's technology-driven world, rare earths have become indispensable building blocks for modern high-tech applications. From high-performance electric vehicles, which promise environmentally conscious mobility, to sophisticated equipment in the defense industry, whose importance increases in times of geopolitical tensions - rare earths are everywhere. These elements, often invisible yet crucial, enable the functionality and efficiency of devices and systems used in our daily lives, such as smartphones. Rare earths have become a silent backbone of technological innovation and security policy, whose availability and control can play a decisive role in economic success and strategic superiority.

Renk, Manuka Resources, and Airbus with explosive news
Germany's leading index, the DAX, managed to surpass the 17,000-point mark significantly this week, reaching a new all-time high at 17,198.50 points. After a weak IPO year in Germany in 2023, in which only three companies dared to go public, the Renk Group set an exclamation mark with a rocket launch. Whether the high level of the DAX can be maintained will also depend on Allianz, Fresenius and Heidelberg Materials, which will publish their figures for the past financial year in the coming week.

Almonty Industries, thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall: Three metal industry shares in focus
The metal industry contributes globally to the development of various sectors through continuous innovation driven by mining, R&D and technological advances. Tough times lie ahead for thyssenkrupp. During the Annual General Meeting, CEO Miguel López emphasized that energy costs for steel production will account for up to half of total costs. Quo Vadis, Germany, as a business location? So, let's take a look at South Korea, another renowned steel producer. The tungsten mining company Almonty Industries is positioning itself as a pioneer here, aiming to cover 7% of the global market. Its strategy involves mining in democratically governed countries and establishing first-class trade partners such as the US and South Korea. Given the geopolitical tensions, in which 90% of tungsten production comes from China and Russia, investors should analyze Almonty more closely. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall, an arms manufacturer, is enjoying full-order books and, for the first time, is exploring a completely new technology division for its portfolio expansion.

MorphoSys and Cardiol Therapeutics in upward mode, while Bayer and Pfizer are in slow mode
The biotech sector has made a very differentiated start to the new year. While the old favorites are barely moving, the second-line stocks MorphoSys and Cardiol Therapeutics are making a real splash. At Bayer, the bad news just won't go away, and despite a successful major takeover, Pfizer has not yet found its forward gear. After a rally of almost 15% in December, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI) has taken a pause in the current year. Now, everyone is waiting for the first interest rate cut by central banks. Inflation is already falling, and the negative economic data for the Eurozone is increasing. The ECB would normally be in demand. What should investors urgently keep an eye on?

The Nel share is tumbling, Nordex is gaining momentum, and dynaCERT is building strength
Is there a 70% upside potential in the Nordex share? This is what analysts are suggesting based on the convincing preliminary figures. But is this development sustainable? Shareholders are hoping for convincing quarterly figures from Nel, even though no major orders have been reported for some time. The share is in a clear downward trend, and analysts have recently drastically reduced the price target for the hydrogen pure-play. While the shares of Nel, Plug Power & Co. are stumbling, dynaCERT is showing relative strength. In an industry environment that is anything but positive, the shares of the Canadian hydrogen company are forming a base.

Manuka Resources, Delivery Hero, Siemens Energy: Project innovations for significant growth
Vanadium is a critical raw material that is considered an important addition to conventional lithium-ion batteries due to its high energy density. It is used in electric vehicles as well as in vanadium redox flow batteries for long-term storage of renewable energy. Manuka Resources is on the verge of developing a vanadium area off the coast of New Zealand and is securing fresh capital for this purpose. Delivery Hero is also talking about opening up new regions. Expanding international business for the Berlin-based platform operator is one of the priorities for 2024. Siemens Energy is also focusing on expansion. The Germans are heading far west, to 'the land of the free and the home of the brave'...

TUI, Royal Helium, thyssenkrupp nucera - Significant increases create room for improvement
The reporting season for the full year 2023 has already passed its peak and is entering its final phase this week. Many companies were able to defy the weakening economic environment, delivering positive surprises in both the publication of the figures for the past financial year and in the forecasts for 2024. Tourism stocks, in particular, which have weakened in recent months, could experience a rebound as a result. Following the correction, analysts also see considerable potential in companies from the renewable energy sector.
