ARI Motors, Volkswagen, BYD – E-mobility between urban niche, China strategy, and ethical boundaries
Electromobility is changing the automotive industry at all levels – from agile small vans for city centre operations to vehicles used on the factory premises of large corporations: cost-efficient solutions are in demand. The German manufacturer ARI Motors is conquering the niche of inner-city deliveries and artisan businesses with its small and nimble electric vehicles. Meanwhile, the industry's big players are fighting for market share in China. Volkswagen is expanding its strategic partnership with Chinese EV pioneer Xpeng to develop new EV models for the Asian market and roll out a nationwide network of 20,000 fast-charging stations. Chinese automaker BYD, however, is making headlines in Brazil – not for its innovations but for a scandal involving questionable working conditions during the construction of a new factory.

Plug Power share price explodes! Golden times ahead for Siemens Energy and F3 Uranium?
The saying "those declared dead live longer" applies to the stock market - and seemingly to Plug Power. The hydrogen stock rose by almost 50% in the first few days of trading, although it has recently struggled to maintain this level. Is this the breakthrough, or is it going down again? Siemens Energy and F3 Uranium could be on the verge of golden times. Both are benefiting from the boom in data centres. In the past few days alone, billion-dollar investments have been announced in the US. To supply energy to the data centres for artificial intelligence, grids and nuclear power plants are needed. However, analyst sentiment is weighing on the price of Siemens Energy. In contrast, F3 Uranium appears ripe for a breakout from the sideways movement, with the potential for its stock to double.

Bayer, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – Turnaround Candidates for 2025 Under Review
After the year-end portfolio window-dressing in December, the new year starts with the hunt for the right stocks for 2025. Special attention should be given to turnaround candidates, meaning stocks that underperformed last year. These companies have faced challenging times and have often already begun addressing their issues through strategic realignment. Sometimes, market conditions for a sector can improve significantly from one year to the next, and then the stocks of these companies often rise disproportionately. Identifying the right stocks requires thorough research. We look at three potential turnaround candidates.

Super Rally 2025: Artificial intelligence, crypto and the hunger for energy! TOP performance with MicroStrategy, XXIX Metal, BYD and Mercedes
The sudden cancellation of the government environmental bonus for e-vehicles at the end of 2023 has led to a significant drop in the number of electric vehicles being registered. However, interest in electric vehicles remains, albeit constrained, partly due to the high prices of many electric models. New government measures are expected to boost electric mobility again starting in 2025, with potential incentives of up to EUR 3,600 – though the implementation will likely only happen after the elections. What is being treated as an election promise for Germany has become the norm for the rest of the world. The increasing demand for energy driven by the electrification of various sectors, from high-tech and artificial intelligence to the crypto arena, which is even now being considered as a "reserve currency," highlights how quickly the world is changing in this disruptive environment. However, what all economic and political trends have in common is the need for access to strategic metals, especially copper! Where are the opportunities for investors?

MicroStrategy, Almonty Industries and XPeng make headlines
The markets continued to rise in the first trading week of the new year. The DAX has managed to climb past the 20,000-point mark. Bitcoin is also working on reclaiming the magical USD 100,000 mark. For some market experts, this is just the beginning of an unstoppable run for the world's largest cryptocurrency. Less covered in the media but significantly more critical is the Western world's focus on securing vital raw materials. One company is on the launchpad and could soar to new heights after production begins.

RESCUE for Lilium!? HYDROGEN WINNERS dynaCERT and thyssenkrupp nucera instead of Nel and Plug Power Share!
dynaCERT and thyssenkrupp nucera have emerged as new hydrogen favourites in the past year. dynaCERT's shares almost doubled in the second half of the year, and there is a good chance that a new multi-year high will be reached in 2025. The technology is convincing customers, and new major orders would justify a revaluation. thyssenkrupp nucera has already proven that it can operate profitably - a milestone that former favourites Nel and Plug Power have yet to achieve. Similarly, Lilium filed for insolvency just before Christmas, but now investors, including Frank Thelen, are expected to inject millions. Is this the rescue?

Lilium, Saturn Oil + Gas, D-Wave Quantum – Big opportunities in the new stock market year
Companies in the artificial intelligence sector were undoubtedly the stock market stars of the past stock market year, 2024. This trend will also likely remain in favour with investors over the next 12 months. In addition, quantum computing stocks have come to the fore in recent weeks, and some have multiplied. After a weaker year overall in 2024, oil producers will likely become interesting following the correction. The future US president, Donald Trump, strongly advocates for fossil fuels, prioritizing them far above alternatives like wind power or photovoltaics.

Volkswagen undervalued! What about European Lithium and BYD?
Looking at the market for electric vehicles in Germany, the outlook seems bleak. However, taking a broader view, the global picture tells a different story. Battery production is also steadily rising, driving a growing demand for lithium. Currently, the lithium supply is still sufficient, but experts predict that by 2030 demand will exceed supply. The reason for this is not only the automotive industry but also the demand for energy storage for renewable energies. We take a look at three companies and their current situation.

Biotech-Rally 2025: Evotec, BioNTech, Vidac Pharma, Pfizer and Bayer are on the buy list
For two years, there was almost no movement in the biotech sector. Not even the trend of falling interest rates that began in 2024 could persuade investors to make larger investments. Meanwhile, AI and high-tech stocks continued to perform well, driving the Nasdaq 100 index up by over 30%. However, in the last quarter of 2024, some bombed-out life sciences stocks saw significant markups, and new takeover rumours also began circulating. Whether the sentiment can continue to rise in the coming weeks is something we will explore further. Let's take a closer look at our top picks for 2025.

Automotive revolution: BYD leads the way in electric power, First Hydrogen focuses on hydrogen, and Porsche loses market share
The mobility revolution is in full swing. Whether in the automotive or energy production sectors, innovative CEOs and daring engineers worldwide are working on environmentally friendly drives and energy sources. The Chinese automaker BYD impressively demonstrates the success of its aggressive pricing strategy and a broad model range from hybrid to electric vehicles. It is only a few sales figures away from the top dog Tesla, then BYD is number 1 worldwide. The innovative company First Hydrogen is even going one step further in its planning. In addition to its hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, it plans to build several mini-reactors to produce hydrogen. These mini-reactors will be used by tech giants like Google in the future. While it used to be ahead of everyone else, Porsche is currently driving with the handbrake on. Last year's sharp drop in share prices is forcing the Company to change its strategy. Even its largest market to date, China, is collapsing. Find out here what the Stuttgart-based company is banking on this year.
