Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, Encavis - New technologies cannot do without this critical raw material
What do metal alloys, magnets, phosphors, ceramics, glass, catalysts and chemical processes need to function well? Rare earths - a critical raw material that is primarily processed in China. Without this raw material, there are no smartphones, computers, wind turbines or electric vehicles. There have been tensions between China and the United States for some time. If these tensions escalate and China stops its rare earth supplies, the Western world will have a problem. As demand for rare earths continues to rise, it is important to ensure sufficient supplies to meet the growing demands of the technology industry.

ams OSRAM, Meta Materials, Microsoft - Disruption within reach?
Disruptive technologies are new solutions that replace the previous success of existing technology, product or service or displace them entirely from the market. ChatGPT holds this potential. An AI that can change the way we search online and, in doing so, sweep Google out of the market. Innovations from Meta Materials also have such a market opportunity in aerospace, 5G, automotive and optics. In optics, the currently beleaguered ams OSRAM AG is on the trail of an innovation expected to hit the market as early as 2025.

BYD, American Lithium, Altech Advanced Materials: Shares in rally mode
The rally at the beginning of the year on the stock markets has surprised many investors. Among the winners are the shares of BYD, American Lithium, and Altech Advanced Materials AG. All three are already showing significant double-digit price increases after the first few weeks. And the chances are good that the positive developments will continue. That is because they are benefiting from the boom in electric mobility. In the current year, BYD is relying heavily on foreign expansion outside its home market of China. The first vehicles have now been delivered in India. In the future, the Chinese carmaker's batteries could contain lithium from American Lithium. In any case, the Canadian company has published a promising resource estimate, and the IPO of the uranium division may become the next share price driver. Altech Advanced Materials is working on a new generation of batteries with the Fraunhofer Institute. More and more investors are discovering the Altech share. The market capitalization is not high.

Banks bet 5,000 tons of gold - explosive power? Deutsche Bank, Alerio Gold, Commerzbank
Anyone investing in gold is betting on an alternative asset class - the precious metal is seen as a reserve currency in a world dominated by banks and large financial institutions.

BioNTech, Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Biotech stocks facing a revival?
The BIO Deutschland association represents the German biotech industry. According to an announcement on January 18, financing of biotech companies plummeted by 2/3 in 2022. Overall, the sector raised only EUR 920 million in equity. During the Corona pandemic, many biotech stocks did well. Subsequently, profit-taking occurred and rising interest rates put additional pressure on stocks. That could change in 2023. Meanwhile, some companies are valued low, and so these companies appear on the radar of investors from the United States. According to Handelsblatt, Water Street, an investment company focused on pharma and biotech, has already invested EUR 1 billion, mainly in Germany. A total of EUR 6 billion is to be invested.

More than 100% possible: Analysts on Nel ASA, Saturn Oil + Gas and the Tesla chaser BYD
Hydrogen specialist Nel ASA is entering the new year with a tailwind. The Norwegian company's stock has already gained more than 20% this year. Operationally, the Company aims to make significant progress in 2023 after a challenging previous year. A new order was reported to match this. And then analysts are also raising the price target. Analysts see over 100% price potential in the oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas. The experts assess the recent acquisition of the Canadians as positive and see a significant undervaluation compared to the peer group. In addition, analysts at Commerzbank see a rising oil price. For e-cars, Tesla has triggered price reductions. BYD is also affected by this. Things are also likely to get more uncomfortable in the primary market of China in 2023. Nevertheless, BYD should continue to grow in the current year.

Are E-cars facing the end? Mercedes-Benz, dynaCERT, NEL
What constitutes mobility is changing. There are also many mobility terms. It is increasingly difficult for automakers to position themselves. Except for BMW, all major manufacturers are now focusing exclusively on battery-powered e-cars. The trend is even so intact for decision-makers at major corporate headquarters that type designations introduced for e-cars are facing extinction. But not all automakers are convinced that e-cars are the way to go.
