The second biotech series is catching up - BioNxt Solutions, Core One Labs, BB Biotech
The months-long correction hit the capital-intensive biotech sector particularly hard. Shares, mainly from the second tier, sometimes had to absorb markdowns of more than three-quarters of their market value and are trading far below their cash holdings. These upheavals are, of course, prompting the big players to acquire new developments at bargain prices and thus significantly increase the value of their portfolios.

Electromobility on the verge of a new era - Freyr Battery, First Phosphate, Nio
In recent years, electromobility has become increasingly important. This is due to the increased demand for environmentally friendly vehicles and the progress in battery technology, which enables a longer range and shorter charging times. The development of new battery technologies remains an essential factor for the future of the industry. Even more existential, however, is access to the raw materials needed, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and phosphate.

Outstanding long-term opportunities - Plug Power, Myriad Uranium, JinkoSolar
Hydrogen, photovoltaics and nuclear power are three promising options for achieving a CO2-free energy supply. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel and as energy storage. Photovoltaic enables the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity, and nuclear energy provides a reliable and emission-free energy source. Despite the outstanding long-term opportunities, companies in these sectors have been in a correction on the stock market for months. For many, however, the bottom has now been reached.

Airbus, Lufthansa, Star Navigation Systems - Which share will take off?
When travelling through airports these days, one feels transported back to 2019: many passengers are being drawn abroad again. A report published last autumn by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) shows that the number of flights rose sharply again in 2022. For the future, experts expect passenger numbers to continue to rise and thus also more flights. But how can investors invest in this trend? We present three options.

BYD overtakes Volkswagen! Do Manuka Resources and Varta benefit from battery demand?
Changing of the guard in the world's largest car market: for the first time since the 1980s, the Volkswagen brand is no longer number 1 in China. BYD sold more vehicles in the Middle Kingdom than VW in the first quarter. And while BYD sold only electric models, the German manufacturer also sold combustion engines. If the world's largest car market is to be a blueprint for Europe and the USA, Volkswagen, BMW & Co. are in for hard times. But the latest sales figures also show that demand for batteries is not going to collapse any time soon, as one or two experts predicted for this year. Those who want to bet on the raw materials for batteries should look at Manuka Resources. The Australians also have a second hot iron in the fire with gold projects. And what is the German battery pioneer Varta doing? Next week should be exciting.

Nuclear Power - No Thanks! E.ON, GoviEx Uranium, BASF - Questionable energy transition made in Berlin
Renewable energies are in focus! All well and good - Germany is repositioning itself. The focus is to be on hydropower, wind and solar energy. But these energy sources have little baseload capacity because hydroelectric power plants use "cheap" night electricity to pump water uphill, and reliable wind is probably only available offshore and not in the middle of Saxony. That brings us to the sun: On average, in our latitudes, it shines for about 146 hours a month, but in Alicante, it is 349 hours. Of course, large rooftop systems pay off for well-located households and one's e-mobile, but we cannot get a nationwide basic supply going with them. In the supply crisis, Berlin is relying on coal and gas power generation for now, but the much-touted climate neutrality is likely to be postponed to the next millennium. What should investors now keep an eye on?

Orestone Mining, Nikola, Volkswagen - Where solid work still counts for investors
The global demand for electric transport vehicles is increasing, and with it, the demand for precious metals such as gold and silver. Whether in cockpit electronics or as an application in luxury BEVs, companies like Orestone Mining Corporation are well-positioned to serve the global markets. In contrast, all that glitters is not gold at Nikola Motors. The share price continues to plummet as the management team seems good at only one thing: Burning money. One of the accused confessed this week on the subject of the combustion engine in the Volkswagen Group's Dieselgate scandal. Accordingly, the target price of VW shares has now been adjusted.

BioNxt Solutions, Bayer, Morphosys - Using high-speed technology to beat cancer in men
Cancer drugs dominate the global pharmaceutical market and register a significant share. While the global market was worth around EUR 128.6 billion in 2019, it is expected to be around EUR 159.3 billion in 2022. This is reason enough for pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer and Morphosys to advance their research in these areas. Men are particularly affected by specific types of cancer. But what good is the best therapeutic agent if the effect is not achieved immediately? This is precisely where BioNxt Solutions comes in, with a unique coating technology for the rapid release of active substances.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen - Funding paves the way for green hydrogen
After the USD 750 billion US climate package, the European Union followed suit with the Green Deal Industrial Plan to remain competitive. At the end of March, the "EU Renewable Energy Directive" was rewritten with the goal of sourcing 45% of total power from renewables by 2030. This will add more speed to the expansion of renewable energies, which will ultimately also help hydrogen technology. The more green electricity is available, the cheaper green hydrogen becomes. At least EUR 100 billion are to be made available as subsidies by 2030. Today we look at 3 companies that could benefit from the subsidies.

Plug Power crashes, SMA Solar share plus 60%, and when will Almonty Industries start?
What is going on at Plug Power? Hydrogen shares are not among the investor favourites at the moment, but all dams are breaking at the US company. The share is now trading below USD 10 and EUR 9. Is an improvement in sight? The situation is different at SMA Solar. The share price of the German solar company is higher than it has been for 10 years. This year alone, it went up more than 60%. Time for a breather? The Almonty Industries share has taken such a breather in recent weeks. However, the tungsten producer is doing well operationally, and analysts see almost 200% upside potential as the Company faces a milestone.
