PayPal, Star Navigation Systems, Palantir - Fully on course
Since the start of generative AI around Chat GPT, Google Bard & Co at the latest, artificial intelligence has become mainstream. There are many beneficiaries of the hype, above all, the graphics card specialist Nvidia, which exceeded the average expectations of analysts by about 50% with its current sales forecast. The reason for these numbers surpassing the consensus was the Company's "incredible orders" for data center upgrades. In addition to Nvidia, lesser-known companies are also benefiting from the revolution based on information and communication technology.

After Lanxess shock, now time to invest in gold? Barrick, Manuka Resources, Evonik
Now into gold shares? The recent profit warnings from the chemical sector should not be underestimated. After all, chemicals are an important early indicator of a possible recession. Lanxess recently shocked the stock market with a profit warning. Before that, the British specialty chemicals producer Croda, among others, had already issued a warning. Are BASF and Evonik the next spoilsports? Analysts are becoming increasingly sceptical, and share price targets are plummeting. A recession would catch many investors off guard. Therefore, gold shares are worth a look again. Heavyweight Barrick is ailing on the chart but remains a solid investment. Manuka Resources has an interesting story. Investors are in for an exciting few months.

Second hydrogen wave launched - Plug Power, dynaCERT, Ballard Power
It is well known that green hydrogen has been identified by both industry and politicians alike as a key element for the energy transition. At the beginning of the decade, shares in the sector became the new darlings of the stock market and were given advance praise and valuations in the billions. However, the sector is still struggling with problems such as the high price of gas and the still undeveloped infrastructure. As a result, even market leaders in the sector have lost more than 50% of their stock market value. This presents a long-term opportunity to participate in the future market of hydrogen.

A lot of movement can be expected here: Covestro, Globex Mining, and Nikola - The focus is on 100% returns!
Greentech is politically promoted and booming. Many stocks are traded on the stock market with this fantasy. But what is really technologically feasible? Those seeking to switch from fossil energy to electric forms often overlook the sometimes poor efficiency in converting fossil primary energy sources to electricity from the socket. Truly green solutions are defined per se by applications that improve the overall energy balance of the goods moved or even achieve a net-zero impact. Access to cheap raw materials, especially high-tech metals, is a prerequisite for all endeavours. We look forward to interesting price movements in the sector.

Biotech comeback! Profit with BioNTech, Morphosys and BioNxt Solutions
Biotech shares have not been among the favourites on the stock market in recent months. After the Corona hype, they were overshadowed by BigTech and especially AI. Sartorius, BioNTech and Co. have corrected strongly. But in the meantime, there are strong signs of a comeback - led by Morphosys. The share of the German biotech veteran has doubled since the beginning of April. MediGene and Evotec have also recorded price jumps. Are BioNTech and BioNxt Solutions next? Morphosys also continues to be praised by analysts. But Goldman Sachs wants to end the party.

Financial System 3.0 saved? Deutsche Bank, Defiance Silver and Nvidia - Artificial Intelligence conquers the banking world!
We cannot help but feel a little uneasy when we see the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, even as mere users, as demonstrated, for example, by ChatGPT. However, Big Data and related analysis tools have been used by large IT companies for years and accompany our daily lives in the background. Currently, the behaviour of financial institutions and the actions of central banks are of particular interest. They must pull out all the stops to smooth out the distortions caused by inflation, war and the interest rate explosion. A tried and tested means in the past was the creation of liquidity, but that is no longer working. Where do the opportunities for investors lie?

Volkswagen, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Dependence on China
Without rare earths, the energy transition fails. There would be neither electric cars nor wind turbines without the critical raw material, which has long been on the list of critical metals in Europe and the USA. But these applications are only the tip of the iceberg because this metal is also needed in the defense industry, smartphones, MRIs and many other high-tech devices. China processes the mined rare earths and has a near monopoly. Now that demand is increasing due to the energy transition and the BRICS countries are slowly breaking away from the US, alternatives should be sought. Today, we look at three companies that cannot do without rare earths.

Lanxess, Smartbroker, Helma Eigenheimbau - Great opportunities in uncertain times
The stock market is still defying negative omens such as recession, the strict monetary policy of the central banks and escalating geopolitical risks. Just a few days ago, for example, the German leading index DAX recorded a new all-time high. However, the negative voices concerning significant global stock market setbacks are increasing. Nevertheless, some companies have the potential to significantly outperform the market due to special situations.

Blackout! Energy shares urgently sought: Plug Power, Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF - Solar, wind or hydrogen?
Now things are becoming clearer. Germany is unlikely to experience an energy shortage like a blackout, and gas supplies for the winter also seem secure, given a 20% drop in gas consumption compared to the average figures from 2018 to 2021. However, household prices remain significantly above the long-term average. Currently, energy suppliers are not passing on the purchasing advantages from the Leipzig power exchange to their customers. Wholesale gas prices have fallen by 85% since mid-2022, but these lower conditions are not reaching customers. What opportunities are there for resourceful investors?
