Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Pfizer – Dementia, cancer, obesity: The race for the billion-dollar markets
The pharmaceutical industry is in the throes of a major upheaval – it is no longer just about research but also about big money. Whoever is ahead now secures not only fame but, above all, extremely lucrative markets. Looking at how companies are currently driving forward mergers or acquiring startups, it is clear: The battle for the next blockbuster drugs has long since become a billion-dollar gamble. There is a lot of activity, especially in areas such as cancer, dementia, and obesity. Everyone wants to be the first to patent the golden active ingredient. We take a look at three companies that are researching the next blockbusters.

Defense and critical metals – the pressure is rising! Where are Rheinmetall, Renk, Hensoldt, and XXIX Metal headed?
Since August 2023, the Chinese government has continuously issued export control measures for high-tech metals that are important for the semiconductor industry and green technologies. The sharp rise in energy commodities is hindering electrification projects. Copper is indispensable for these projects and will become one of the key raw materials in the coming years, around which innovations revolve. The red metal is an essential component of a completely new energy infrastructure, and trends such as Web 3.0, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are exacerbating the scarcity situation. The tech giants, worth billions, want to invest because they need the infrastructure for their business. In Europe, the defense industry is on the verge of reaching new all-time highs. A closer look is required.

Palantir, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold – WATCH OUT: These stocks are on the move!
The tech industry celebrates Palantir as an AI pioneer: With a 390% price increase in 2024 and a forecast of USD 3.75 billion in revenue in 2025, the Company is convincing with its government and commercial AI solutions – but the P/E ratio of 600 raises sustainability questions. Meanwhile, First Nordic Metals is building on exploration momentum in the Scandinavian gold sector: new anomalies and cost-efficient drilling techniques are driving the stock. Barrick Gold, in turn, combines robustness (19% revenue growth) with geopolitical challenges in Mali and long-term, large-scale projects. We take a look at which companies offer potential and where valuations could be too high.

Shooting star Rheinmetall continues to rise - Greentech stocks like Nel, dynaCERT, and Plug Power are in the starting gate!
With the start of the security conference, they were back – the defense stocks. Rheinmetall thus exceeded the EUR 800 mark for the first time. The DAX 40 index is also doing brilliantly, currently at 22,600, well ahead of the NASDAQ. Now, rumors of peace talks are circulating, but the stock market is still not quite believing it. The losers of recent months were, not least, due to the re-election of Donald Trump, the greentech stocks. They were simply ignored in the face of the "climate change deniers" from the White House. But the charts no longer reached new lows. This is reason enough for us to refocus on these stocks. dynaCERT made its first leaps with the VERRA certification, but there is still much more potential. Selection remains key!

TUI stock weak after numbers – Nova Pacific Metals and Super Micro Computer fare much better
The latest quarterly figures from TUI disappointed investors. Despite optimistic booking forecasts, the share price corrected by up to 17% within two days after the expected revenue targets were missed. This raises questions about the sustainability of the travel Company's comeback, which most recently wanted to appeal to new customer groups with low-cost offers. Nova Pacific Metals and Super Micro Computer present a very different picture. Nova Pacific's share price rose by over 80% within three days. Super Micro is raising hopes of a turnaround despite delisting risks due to a new auditor and attractive AI prospects – supported by a low P/E ratio of 10. We take a closer look at the three companies.

Coinbase, Almonty Industries, Tomra Systems – These 3 high-flyers promise returns
The earnings season for the full year 2024 is in full swing, with quite a few companies significantly outperforming analyst forecasts. Another topic currently keeping the world in suspense is US President Donald Trump's "America First" policy. As can be seen from the negotiations with Ukraine, the "new sheriff in town" is concerned with securing rare earth deposits. When it comes to the metal tungsten, however, the US government seems to be already one step ahead, and a lesser-known company is likely to emerge as the winner here.

Things are heating up with Alibaba and Credissential, while Palantir and SAP ride the AI boom
The stock market is picking up speed. In addition to the high-tech and AI fantasy, there are rumors of peace in Ukraine. European equities that are likely to play a role in any reconstruction are attracting a lot of attention. Cement maker Heidelberg Materials has been performing well for weeks, and Siemens is also gaining daily. Outside of geopolitical considerations, SAP remains the only German cloud of hope to be a long-running success. Is a correction possible here? It is difficult to imagine at the moment, so attention is turning to lagging stocks or stocks that have already fully exploited their momentum. For those paying close attention, divergences are visible!

SHARE PRICES are falling at Plug Power, Nel, and Hensoldt! BUY RECOMMENDATION for BMW partner European Lithium!
Buy opportunity or bankruptcy? Shares in Plug Power, Nel, and Hensoldt are under pressure these days. The former hydrogen favorites are facing one piece of bad news after another. After mass layoffs at Nel, the next catastrophe comes from Plug Power. Investors are also getting nervous about Rheinmetall, Renk, and Hensoldt. Is a correction looming? Analysts believe the correction at Hensoldt should be seen as a buying opportunity. At BMW partner European Lithium, analysts even see potential for a multiple increase in value. The stock, which focuses on lithium and rare earths, has gained traction, and the current consolidation offers an exciting entry opportunity. Even peace in Ukraine could benefit these companies.

Globex Mining, Intel, D-Wave: AI Revolution Drives Resources and Semiconductor Market
The course for the future of AI was set this week in France, where 1,500 representatives from politics and business gathered for the international AI summit. The AI revolution is driven by immense energy and semiconductor demand that Europe, with its current energy policy, cannot fulfil. The commodities rally for energy generation is gaining momentum to power the immense data centers. Ideal timing for the explorer Globex Mining, which, with its portfolio of strategic commodities, is a mineral bank for investors. With a strong diversification of commodities and precious metals, there is something for practically every energy requirement. Intel, on the other hand, could experience a recovery through cooperation with TSMC. The stock suffered a 60% decline last year. Quantum computing pioneer D-Wave demonstrates that practical applications of the technology are already in use today. In an open letter, CEO Baratz addresses investors.

ACQUISITION?! Renk, BioNTech, and Biotech Highflyer Vidac Pharma
Is Renk about to be taken over? Quite possible. The Company, known for its transmissions for the Leopard tank, has a new major shareholder. And it turns out to be none other than KNDS – the maker of the Leopard 2 tank. The Renk share price reacted with a jump of 10%. Is there more to come? Vidac Pharma is also frequently mentioned as a potential takeover candidate. Like BMW, the Company is working on a "new class". But in this case, it is to save human lives. To this end, last year's biotech highflyer aims to revolutionize cancer treatment. Experts believe that a multiplication of the share price is possible. BioNTech is also fighting cancer. In addition to its own research, the German company is strategically focusing on acquisitions. Another one has just been completed. What is next?
