Timing is half the battle! Watch out for defense stocks: Renk, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and dynaCERT in focus!
Despite a red-green government, defense stocks are in demand again in Germany. After years of pacifism, Berlin's traffic light government is now firing up arms investments everywhere with conviction. The aim is to make the war in Ukraine a success for Europe by supplying weapons - an interesting experiment and an entirely new direction in the German political spectrum. The underfunding of the German Bundeswehr has been rightly recognized, and now an additional EUR 100 billion is to be allocated under the Basic Law. The stock market picks up on this trend and values the sought-after armaments higher and higher, and international exports are now more legitimized than ever. That is how quickly times change. This brings fantasy to the share price and a windfall for resourceful investors. Where do further opportunities lie?

Infineon, Saturn Oil + Gas, Block - Things are heating up here
Last week, all eyes were on chip giant Nvidia, which once again surprised Wall Street with a positive performance and a net profit increase of almost 770%. In Germany, Allianz also made headlines with a record profit and a significant dividend increase. In contrast, a report that could significantly impact the future of green technologies, with positive signals for the oil and gas industry, went somewhat unnoticed.

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Hydrogen: the game changer in transportation
The rapid development of electromobility has undoubtedly brought many advantages. However, there are some questions regarding its suitability for use in commercial transportation. The issues concerning the weight of the batteries, the long recharging time, and the limited range cannot be ignored. In view of these facts, it is questionable whether electric vehicles can completely replace diesel fuel in commercial transportation. There is a need for further technological advances, such as hydrogen propulsion. Although hydrogen has not yet received the same level of attention as electric vehicles, its potential suggests that it can solve the current problems.

Will GreenTech soon be back in vogue? Nel ASA, Klimat X, Nordex, and Plug Power are under analyst scrutiny!
Despite new record highs in global stock markets, the GreenTech sector has yet to show any gains. The hydrogen sector, in particular, which was hyped in 2020/21, has been struggling for the past three years. With share price losses of 70 to 90%, investors are hopeful that a bottom could be reached in the foreseeable future. We analyze whether this could already be the case and present an alternative in the form of Klimat X. Business is running smoothly here, and the CO2 savings are even certified.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Renk - Golden times everywhere?
The world is full of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. These are ideal conditions for gold, which is still considered a safe haven. There are now several factors that point to a sustained upswing in gold prices. One factor is the increased involvement of central banks, which are increasing their reserves to an extent not seen for decades. Another factor is the discussion within the BRICS nations about introducing a new currency backed by gold as a counterweight to the dominant US dollar. Therefore, today, we look at two gold companies and shed light on Renk, a representative of the defense industry, which is also experiencing golden times.

Top news: BYD, Bayer and Globex Mining
Bayer shocked investors yesterday with the announcement of its dividend cut, which shouldn't have been much of a surprise. The Company is burdened with high debt, endless legal fines, and an empty pharmaceutical pipeline. In an initial reaction, analysts have lowered the share price target. BYD, on the other hand, is doing well operationally. Only the share price is not picking up. Will a share buyback turn the share price around? For those who want to profit from the commodity boom with reduced risk, then Globex Mining's stock is attractive. The news flow is strong, and those who act quickly can still register and follow the live presentation of the mining incubator at the 10th International Investment Forum, IIF, today.

Sell Varta shares? Nel and Altech Advanced Materials with new opportunities
The bad news for Varta seems to be unending. First, a cyber attack paralyzed the Company. Now, analysts are lowering their thumbs and recommending selling the share. Estimates for the years 2024 and 2025 have been lowered. As a result, Altech Advanced is increasingly becoming the German battery hopeful. Even though Altech's share price has declined significantly in recent months, the Company is on track operationally. The current year will be exciting. Things also remain exciting for hydrogen shares. While Nel and Plug Power & Co. still need to prove the future viability of their business models, they are receiving billions in support.

ThyssenKrupp Nucera, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen Stocks: Buy or Wait?
In light of global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, hydrogen is coming into focus as a promising alternative in the transportation sector. The quick refueling times and greater ranges of hydrogen are particularly enticing, potentially solving the challenges of electromobility. Fleet operators must also become active, especially in response to the savings demanded by the government. Despite the clear potential for more sustainable mobility, hydrogen companies currently find themselves in a challenging situation on the stock markets, plagued by market uncertainties and the challenges of a nascent technology. Today, we look at three companies whose business is based on hydrogen.

Takeover fever in the biotech sector! Will MorphoSys now be followed by Defence Therapeutics, Evotec and Bayer?
It has happened: Novartis is bidding for MorphoSys. Once again, a long-lasting and persistent rumour mill eventually confirms itself. Those who remained loyal to MorphoSys despite heavy selling last fall have now made a profit of over 300%. If we turn the analytical magnifying glass on the sector, we can see that the speculative biotech stock market segment has started to move again since the challenging year 2023. Hopes of falling interest rates in the near future, along with several other M&A hopes, have led to steady inflows into listed bio-ETFs, resulting in fund managers having recently adjusted their weightings upwards. We analyze which stocks are currently making the loudest noise.
