Disappointments and surprises: Nikola, Plug Power, First Hydrogen
Hydrogen and electromobility are megatrends. But not all shares from these sectors deliver what they promise. Nikola has recently disappointed. After the share price multiplied in June and July, it halved in August. And now Nikola has shocked shareholders again. Investors have also been unhappy with Plug Power in recent months. The hydrogen specialist just cannot get a handle on its margins. Is there hope for both again after the recent sell-offs? In contrast, First Hydrogen has surprised on the upside. A customer is enthusiastic about the test of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Will a major order follow now, along with a rediscovery of the stock?

Adyen - a warning signal for NVIDIA and Co? Power Nickel as an alternative
Growth is the fuel of the markets. When business is booming, and additional excitement is generated, stocks can turn a small fortune into a large one. For example, those who invested in the shares of the Dutch payment service provider Adyen in 2019 saw their investment more than quadruple by 2022. However, since last week, the stock has been plummeting. We explain why Adyen serves as an example for potential upcoming crashes and specifically targets the chip sector - could giants like NVIDIA be heading for a crash soon? Additionally: What investment alternatives are available?

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Daimler Truck - Into the future with hydrogen
Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier for the future that can be produced from renewable sources such as green electricity. Hydrogen can be used in various sectors such as industry, heating, or transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy security. Transport, in particular, emits a lot of emissions, making it a crucial focal point for action. The German federal government has already adopted a national hydrogen strategy to promote the development and use of hydrogen. There are similar efforts in the US and Europe. We look at three companies harnessing the power of hydrogen.

Climate change or just a heat wave? - BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, and Redcare Pharmacy deliver!
Whether this consistently warm summer already documents a pronounced climate change is questionable. The older ones among us remember that there were already very hot summers before and that even in the last 30 years, there was rarely snow at Christmas. However, human life is simply too short for significant conclusions. Therefore, long-term weather records have to be consulted. There will probably be a slight increase in average temperatures, but we will get little information about when the next ice age will hit us. For many politicians, the current weather trends fit perfectly into the chain of arguments in favor of radical legislative proposals. Perhaps, however, the caprices of the weather are only the offshoots of the approaching El Nino. The stock market also follows changing trends; after the flood, an ebb could now be imminent. Selection remains key!

Full speed ahead - Continental, Globex Mining, Rheinmetall
Jackson Hole casts its shadow ahead. On Thursday, leading central bankers, including ECB Chief Christine Lagarde, will meet again to discuss the further interest rate strategy, taking into account the current inflation figures and the still looming recession. Positive signals concerning an easing of monetary policy could thus help the markets back into rally mode.

BYD, First Phosphate, JinkoSolar - Benefiting from the growing energy storage market
The electrification of the world is an important step in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and achieving climate goals. Energy storage systems and batteries are essential to balance the fluctuating generation from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. They can store excess electricity and release it when needed. One promising technology for electricity storage and rechargeable batteries is lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are safer and cheaper than traditional lithium-ion batteries and have a longer service life. Moreover, the first automakers are exploring the usability of LFP batteries. The market for energy storage is growing rapidly. We take a look at three companies that stand to benefit from developments in the energy storage market.

China's shadow banks send first shock waves: Deutsche Bank, Allianz, Viva Gold
To many market observers, China was considered the true powerhouse of financial markets. Even when US growth was reaching its limits due to crises, the Chinese continued scoring points with growth rates well above the 5% mark. But the situation has changed. China is increasingly becoming a problem case. The Chinese real estate market is in a predicament. The situation surrounding project developer Country Garden could, much like in the case with Evergrande before, make waves internationally and put German financial institutions in a difficult situation.

Meyer Burger, Saturn Oil + Gas, CureVac - Incisive events
The past week in the stock market, due to the earnings season for the year's first half, brought surprises on both sides. Some companies were able to shine despite uncertainties on the economic and geopolitical side and face a golden future due to a significant undervaluation. Speaking of the future: Due to weaker market conditions, one company after another is leaving the old contingent to take advantage of better conditions overseas.

The correction wave is rolling: Adyen, Almonty Industries, Nel ASA - is a 100% turnaround quickly possible?
Looking back, 2023 has been an exceptionally good stock market year. However, there has been no noticeable momentum for a few weeks now; instead, major players are trying to maintain the high level. However, the profit warnings are piling up, which we should have received for months, given the economic weakness. But the executives are taking time to lower their forecasts, hoping things improve. The fact that stocks still trended upward for months despite huge interest rate increases is due to the reawakened NASDAQ bull market with the trending topics of Artificial Intelligence and Greentech. But just hoping for falling interest rates is not enough. Now sentiment has also turned, and prices are falling. Time for us to take a look at some of the "Fallen Angels". Who will manage the turnaround?
