BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Pfizer - The cards are being reshuffled

  • Biotechnology
  • Covid19
  • Investments

The Corona pandemic is seemingly coming to an end after almost three long years. The return to normality, now in China and the rest of the world, is a relief for society and the economy. In contrast, vaccine manufacturers are losing a billion-dollar business that is difficult to compensate for with products in other areas of application. Nevertheless, the stock market valuations of the vaccine producers continue to be exorbitantly high, as does their drop in value.

Barrick Gold, Globex Mining, Rio Tinto - Commodity supercycle continues in 2023

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Commodities

2022 was the year of energy commodities. Goldman Sachs expects commodities to continue to deliver the best returns for investors in 2023, with increases of over 40%. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodity supercycle since late 2020. In 2023, the price of Brent crude oil is forecast to rise to USD 105 per barrel in the last quarter, and the price of copper is forecast to rise from around USD 8,400 to USD 10,050 per ton. The main argument is the low level of investment in the commodity sector, which is unlikely to meet demand. Therefore, today we look at three companies from the commodity sector.

Infineon, Manuka Resources, Barrick Gold- The acquisition wave is underway

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Commodities

In times of inflation, rising interest rates, skyrocketing energy prices and global recession fears, the consolidation process will likely accelerate significantly in many industries next year. Capital-intensive, as yet unprofitable companies with an innovative business model face major challenges if they are to retain their independence in the future. Larger groups are already digging in their heels to prepare their portfolios for the future. Especially in the precious metals sector, increasing acquisition activity has been observed in recent weeks.

Aspermont, Amazon, flatexDEGIRO - In the frenzy of customer growth

  • Growth
  • Digitization
  • Investments

Aspermont, Amazon and flatexDEGIRO combine rapid customer growth in digital times. As a digital publishing pioneer, Aspermont is a frontrunner for high-quality content in the mining, energy and agriculture sectors. Financials from the fiscal year 2022 prove it. According to insiders, Amazon is trying its hand at its own sports app. The Company recently suffered a defeat in the battle for streaming rights. Big tech giant google secured a lucrative NFL package. Likewise, flatex has secured the user accounts of DEGIRO. Since 2019 and now after the merger, the listed broker has recorded customer growth of 500%. That also makes BaFin sit up and take notice.

Nio, Altech Advanced Materials, Rheinmetall - Still on trend

  • Energy
  • Batteries
  • Electromobility
  • Defense

The prevailing themes from last year will continue to be in vogue in 2023. Due to the political strategy of achieving peace through heavy weapons, the order situation for defense companies should improve even further. In addition, electric carmakers should continue to top the sales figures from the fiscal year ending in 2022. In terms of the efficiency of the battery, which is essential for electromobility, several companies worldwide are fighting for the crown. One German company has two hot irons in the fire.

Top Asian Picks for 2023 in place of Tesla: Alibaba, Alpina Holdings, BYD, JinkoSolar: Invest in the best!

  • RealEstate
  • Investments
  • Asia
  • Electromobility

The Asian tech giants have not yet been able to break away from their downward trend in 2022. After losing almost 50% in 2021, e-commerce giant Alibaba again lost more than 15% at the end of the year, while other stocks such as Baidu and Tencent also posted double-digit losses. In the US, the once so-popular stocks were quickly removed from the funds. Currently, only die-hard fans are likely still invested. Fortunately, the tense situation has calmed down somewhat in recent weeks, and even the Chinese regulator is gradually realizing that the heavy monitoring of the digital economy is slowing down the growth prospects of its own economy. Some analysts have already downgraded Chinese GDP growth by a full 1.5 percentage points from 2022 to 2025. However, Asia can still score points in an international comparison. Where are the opportunities?

200% possible at ThyssenKrupp and Tocvan Ventures, and question marks at VW and BASF

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Electromobility
  • Energy

As we approach the end of the year, it is difficult to separate the real economic opportunities from the current war and crisis scenarios. The forecasting institutes are also poking around in the fog with their statements for 2023, with a still conciliatory economic development at the zero line being defined subject to falling interest rates and declining inflation. Under the sword of Damocles of a possible gas crisis starting in March, however, all predictions turn negative because Germany as an industrial location is already struggling considerably with the energy and electricity price increases. So how do you select a top performer for the portfolio?

Auxico Resources, BYD, Nordex - Energy transition in danger: shortage of critical raw materials

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • renewableenergies
  • Electromobility

The energy transition, i.e. the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon and renewable energy supply, is an important step in combating the climate crisis. However, some critical raw materials are needed for the expansion of renewable energies and whose scarcity can pose a threat to the energy transition. These include, for example, rare earths, cobalt and lithium, which are used in the manufacture of solar panels, wind turbines and electric cars. In this context, one should not underestimate the current dependence on China, which has a monopoly position, especially in rare earths. We therefore take a look at three companies around the energy transition.

Goodbye Tesla shares - Now bet on the hydrogen rally 2023: Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel, Ballard Power

  • Hydrogen
  • GreenTech
  • greenhydrogen

Tesla is experiencing a continued decline in demand in China. According to internal plans, the assembly lines at the production site in Shanghai will be at a standstill for almost two weeks in January. The US electric carmaker plans to produce at its main factory at the beginning of 2023 only, from January 3 to 19. Around the Chinese New Year, Tesla will stop the assembly lines. Tesla did not give an official reason for the surprising break. The Company, founded by Elon Musk, has yet to respond to press requests to comment on the production cuts after Christmas. The share has now lost 40% in 4 weeks and continues to go down unchecked. Last Saturday, Tesla had already largely stopped production in Shanghai for the rest of the year. The prospects for electric car makers are clearly darkening, and we look to alternatives such as hydrogen.

Outperformer stocks in 2023? BioNTech, Steinhoff, Saturn Oil + Gas, K+S

  • Gas
  • Biotechnology

Will energy stocks continue to be outperformers in 2023? In any case, in 2022, MSCI World Energy clearly outperformed MSCI World. In the case of individual stocks, Shell, for example, has gained over 45% in the current year. Jefferies recommends the stock as a buy with a target price of GPX 3100 (pence). Warren Buffett has also invested billions in the oil sector in 2022. Chevron and Occidental Petroleum are among Berkshire Hathaway's seven largest holdings. Energy, after all, is likely to be in demand in 2023. Those looking to bet on a laggard should look at Saturn Oil & Gas. The Canadian oil producer faces a milestone in 2023, and analysts see over 200% upside potential. BioNTech enters the new year with solid newsflow. And what is Steinhoff doing after the horror news?
