Encavis, Manuka Resources, Rheinmetall - Vanadium: From metal to energy source
The energy transition presents us with the challenge of efficiently storing renewable energy. A key raw material in this process is vanadium, which is used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and is mainly known for its role in steel production. These batteries are characterized by their longevity, with up to 20,000 charging cycles without any significant loss of performance, and their safety as they are non-flammable. In addition, their scalability allows them to be used both in large-scale grid storage and in the private sector. By storing electricity from wind and solar power, VRFBs are a critical element in supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy supply and ensuring the availability of steel alloys that can also be used in the defense industry.

Novo Nordisk, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Rally after the breakout?
Biotechnology has been revived after a disappointing stock market year in 2023. In addition to the interest rate cut fantasy, which should benefit the capital-intensive and innovative sector in particular, the current wave of acquisitions should lead to further price rises. Although the broad Nasdaq Biotech Index has only risen by 3% since the beginning of the year, it is currently facing key resistance levels. If these are broken through, the momentum northwards could accelerate.

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Apple shares - Who are the game changers in the market?
As the demand for consumer goods continues to grow, the number of diesel trucks on the roads is also increasing. Just 1.5 years after laying the foundation stone, Daimler Truck is clearly focusing on commercial vehicles powered by battery and fuel cell technology at its site in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. Until then, bridging technologies will continue to expand. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed a pioneering method to reduce the environmental impact of diesel trucks and HGVs. With this innovative technology, hydrogen is fed directly into the engines, resulting in significantly lower harmful emissions such as CO₂ and nitrogen oxides. This technology has already been tested worldwide and is considered a decisive step in the fight against climate change in the transportation sector. The technology can also be used in other transportation sectors, such as shipping or mining. And when it comes to the automotive industry, Apple must recognize that not everything the Cupertino-based company touches turns to gold...

Buy recommendations for TUI and Saturn Oil + Gas share - Aixtron share price targets tumble
TUI was among the daily winners yesterday. The tourism group's share price rose by more than 5%. The reason was positive analyst commentary. The price target was raised, providing significant upside potential from the current level. Experts also recommend buying Saturn Oil & Gas. After a successful capital increase, the target price for the oil producer's shares was raised. Analysts see over 100% upside potential and scope for high dividends. At Aixtron, analysts' price targets are tumbling. There is even a sell recommendation. However, not all analysts are pessimistic; some see an opportunity in the price slide of the past few days.

Sustainable investments in focus: Occidental Petroleum, Carbon Done Right, Plug Power - Which stock offers the greatest advantage for a net zero economy?
True sustainability is a delicate balancing act for investors seeking high returns. Companies worldwide still need fossil fuels to keep their businesses running and growing. The US oil and gas producer Occidental Petroleum is no exception. The Company, in which Warren Buffett also invests, is doing a lot to reduce its carbon footprint. On the other hand, Carbon Done Right is sustainable through and through. Its business model involves the reforestation and greening of forests and rainforests to trade real CO2 certificates for companies such as Amazon and Microsoft. Thanks to innovative AI, Carbon Done Right is finally bringing the desired transparency to the carbon market by monitoring tree growth via satellite. Meanwhile, Plug Power relies on in-house hardware and expects a restructuring of tech companies to favour its CO2-friendly solutions. Who truly has the edge when it comes to sustainable measures and returns?

Bitcoin soon at USD 100,000? The music is also playing at Rheinmetall, Renk, Manuka Resources and BYD!
The stock market is not a one-way street. While Bitcoin reaches new highs daily, many stocks are still on the sidelines. Only 21% of all listed shares reached a new high in 2024, yet the Nasdaq 100 and the DAX 40 index are at their all-time highs. Only a few stocks are gaining favour with investors; others are being left behind. The current focus is on high-tech stocks that enable ever-greater computing power, such as in mining or artificial intelligence. In addition to gigantic amounts of data, mining requires trillions of computing operations to be carried out in a very short time. There are rewards in the form of new bitcoins for confirming transactions on the blockchain, but they will be halved by the next "halving" event in April. Armament values, on the other hand, seem to be heating up. So how much time is left to reap further leaps in returns?

Hydrogen news: Nel shares "Sell", Thyssenkrupp Nucera "Buy", and First Hydrogen convinces customers
Are Nel shares at risk of another price slide? The Norwegians failed to impress with their figures for the fourth quarter and the full year 2023. Incoming orders, in particular, are a cause for concern. Analysts see further downside potential for the share, but there are also optimists. In contrast, the hydrogen newcomer First Hydrogen, which specializes in commercial vehicles, is convincing. In the UK, there was no loss of range even during use in the cold season. Owners of Tesla, Volkswagen and the like can only dream of this. If concrete orders follow, the share should be able to take off. Analysts see potential for Thyssekrupp Nucera shares. The development in the first quarter was convincing. However, investors should also scrutinize the developments in the German hydrogen hopeful.

Cardiol Therapeutics is on the upswing - When will BioNTech and Evotec follow suit?
In the world of biotechnology, the stock market often resembles a rollercoaster ride where investors and companies need to be firmly strapped in. The volatility of biotech companies can include dizzying highs and lows driven by the research and development of new medical treatments and therapies. A single positive report of clinical trial results or regulatory approval of a breakthrough drug can send a company's share price soaring, sending investors and companies into euphoria overnight. This happened recently with Cardiol Therapeutics. When can Evotec and BioNTech announce a success?

Globex Mining, Rheinmetall, Fisker - Correction nearing its end
The German economy is shrinking, and there is no sign of an end to the downward spiral in the current year. Only the defense industry, which was dubbed socially harmful before the Ukraine conflict, is acting as a growth engine, with shares in the sector rushing from one high to the next. The growing and likely continuing demand for defense goods is increasing the need for critical metals. After a prolonged correction, copper, lithium, and others may now have completed their bottoming out.

100% opportunities with Nel, Plug Power, Royal Helium - Hydrogen is turning now!
How will the energy transition in Europe really unfold? Hydrogen is a tricky matter. The raw material is considered an alternative building block for a green future and, according to experts, could become one of the most important energy sources in the coming decades. Nevertheless, there is a lack of green energy sources for its environmentally friendly production. Even under the best conditions, producing electricity from green hydrogen still costs around twice as much as from oil, coal or natural gas. Since 2022, consumers have had to cope with cost increases of over 50% in energy and are unlikely to be able to use hydrogen in a meaningful way. The necessary decisions for economic implementation, therefore, lie with politicians. H2 shares have lost around 85% in the last 24 months. In addition to a technical rebound in hydrogen, investors should also take a closer look at the technical gas helium.
