Almonty Industries, K+S, E.ON - These companies benefit from the energy transition
The situation on the energy markets remains tense. The German Minister of Economics received a rejection from Qatar. Alternatives are urgently needed, such as solar and wind power. Almonty Industries is well positioned to source materials for these energies. The world's leading supplier of tungsten can become a decisive player in the market for the hunt for raw materials. Rising prices are benefiting the Company in this regard. The changed prices, in turn, play into the hands of fertilizer producer K+S. Higher average prices in both customer segments compensated for increased costs. In Western Europe, prices fell due to demand, which led to increased sales in Eastern and Northern Europe. Energy network operator E.ON warned of "valuation risks for investments" when publishing last year's results in March and surprised with the current results.

Pathfinder Ventures, TUI, Lufthansa - Which tourism shares are worthwhile?
The tourism industry has suffered losses in recent years due to the pandemic. Be it staff shortages like at Lufthansa and at the airports, with the resulting chaos of cancelled flights and passengers waiting for hours at check-in. This volatility is reflected in the shares. On the other hand, the growth of Pathfinder Ventures, a Canadian company specializing in campgrounds for RVs in the most beautiful places under the maple flag, is developing pleasantly positively. Pathfinder Ventures is upgrading its facilities and expanding by buying up more sites that are already well-attended. We look at the details.

Alarm at Plug Power, problems for Nordex is good for Alpha Copper
It is the summer of renewable energy stocks. Russia's attack on Ukraine, high oil and gas prices, and climate change are just a few arguments why investors are so electrified by the sector. However, there is also a lot of advance praise being handed out. That is the case with Plug Power. When a company makes more losses than sales, alarm bells start ringing. But the Plug Power share is taking this surprisingly well. According to analysts, Nordex continues to suffer from high purchase prices, and an impending copper shortage will not reduce the problems. Alpha Copper should benefit from scarce copper. Drilling programs are giving the share a tailwind.

BYD, Edison Lithium, Albemarle - It is getting problematic
The electrification of transport and the replacement of the combustion engine are essential to achieve the proclaimed climate goals of politics. Batteries are one of the main components of electromobility. According to a study by the consulting firm Roland Berger, the global market for lithium-ion batteries will grow by 30% per year until 2030. But electric car manufacturers are already struggling with the scarce metal lithium. Prices are skyrocketing and demand is far outstripping supply. Lithium producers are likely to continue to be the primary beneficiaries in the coming years.

Gold? What matters is what you make of it: Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Amazon
"Perfect time to buy gold?" That was the question posed by Handelsblatt a few days ago while at the same time providing good arguments for the precious metal. Although the interest rate turnaround could once again weigh on gold in the short term, the focus could then turn to the future. Experts believe that gold has opportunities again in the medium term. The experts at Goldman Sachs see the precious metal at USD 2,500. We explain how investors can invest in gold and whether there are other inflation investments.

Oil will still be needed in 100 years! Fill up with these stocks: Shell, BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, BASF
With a view to the future energy supply, major question marks remain, especially in Europe. The dependency on Russia is historical, and the future relationship with the largest owner of raw materials in our latitudes will probably be rather frosty from a European perspective. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently presented a plan to break away from fossil fuels from Russia and, at the same time, accelerate the energy transition. But to become completely self-sufficient, the European Union would need to invest nearly EUR 300 billion in infrastructure and energy supply relationships by 2030. Meanwhile, there are secret winners in this predicament who are making a killing in the current environment.

Rare opportunities - Raytheon, Defense Metals, MP Materials, Rheinmetall
Heavy weapons for peace! This statement should make every pacifist's stomach turn, but in reality, this is the scenario currently playing out. It may not sound very comprehensible, but in order to guarantee peace, the world continues to arm itself. Companies in this industry, such as Rheinmetall, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, are bullish. With the conflict in Taiwan simmering, tensions are again rising. China holds the reins of power with its raw materials. The West is trying desperately to reduce its dependencies on China, but this cannot be achieved in the short term.

BioNTech, BYD, Altech Advanced Materials: Excitement is rising
So much for the summer slump. The stock markets are generally friendly at the moment, and many shares are reacting with significant price swings to news, both negative and positive. Like with BioNTech, the share price fell sharply after an impressive rally after the quarterly figures. There are good reasons for rising prices in the coming weeks. BYD is also going full throttle operationally. The e-car manufacturer is reporting one sales record after another, and details are emerging about the launch in Germany to knock Tesla off its electric throne. E-cars, possibly also from BYD, are expected to incorporate battery technology from Altech Advanced Materials in the future. The Company is working on revolutionary technology, and new details are expected by the time of the AGM.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva - Will biotech stocks continue to rally in the fall?
The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index formed a double bottom in mid-June and has since rallied, breaking the downtrend. However, there is still over 32% potential to the past highs. The highs are due in part to the sales from the Corona Crisis, but even though currently the issue is not as present despite higher case numbers, that could change in the fall. The new Protection Against Infection Act provides for mask-wearing and further vaccinations. The profits from these sales are often invested in the development of new therapies, such as cancer research. These areas hold a lot of potential for rising share prices. We take a closer look at three biotech companies.

From hands off to comeback: Rheinmetall, MAS Gold, Siemens Energy
When the government announces the big move, investors had better wait for the results first. Since the Rheinmetall share presented quarterly figures a few days ago, the stock has turned negative. The reason: the order books have not filled as quickly as expected immediately after Chancellor Scholz's turnaround speech. In uncertain times, we take a look at shares between hype and opportunity and highlight three shares with a unique economic cycle.
