100% chance of peace in 2025: Ukraine, Israel & Syria! Rheinmetall, Renk, Almonty and Palantir in focus
The DAX ran a little hot in December, with a new all-time high of over 20,522 points. Shortly before Christmas, it fell back to 19,850 points. Some say healthy; others say a turnaround. The fact is that the 2024 investment year was only positive for a fraction of the listed stocks despite the recessionary environment. They come from the high-tech, artificial intelligence, banking and defense sectors. With the renewed escalation of Russian attacks at the turn of the year, hopes for peace have been postponed for the time being, leaving defense stocks with their dearly paid-for charm. Producers of strategic metals are again coming into focus because, for Western industrial nations, the task is to secure supply chains as best as possible. Where are the opportunities for investors at the turn of the year?

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Super Micro Computer – Portfolio realignment: What should be in the portfolio?
At the end of the year, many investors critically review their portfolios in order to align them with the challenges and opportunities of the year ahead. This phase, often referred to as "window dressing" or year-end rally, offers investors the opportunity to review their investment strategies, take profits, offset losses in a targeted manner or tactically reweight positions. At the same time, the new year represents a fresh start, with a renewed focus on future developments, macroeconomic trends and long-term goals. We take a look at three interesting stocks and analyse the opportunities for the coming year.

New elections in 2025 – A tailwind for electric mobility: VW, Mercedes, ARI Motors, BYD and Stellantis
The traffic light is history, and new elections will be held on February 23. If the current polls are to be believed, a centre-right coalition could emerge. A 180-degree turn in economic policy would be needed for Germany as a business location to stop the exodus of industry abroad. However, this requires signs of a consistent refocusing on burning issues. Citizens are burdened with high price increases, and e-mobility urgently needs new incentives. International investors have long since turned their backs on European markets and are investing primarily in the US. The very low valuations in this country, which have rarely been observed over a longer period of time, offer hope. There is a good chance of a noticeable turnaround in the automotive sector in particular.

Takeover candidates 2025: Plug Power, Evotec, Desert Gold
Will Plug Power be taken over, or is there a risk of a sharp drop in the share price? The latter is possible in the coming weeks, and shareholders must be careful. A hot takeover candidate in the gold sector is Desert Gold. Analysts see significant upside potential, and the Company is convincing with an exciting mix: production is expected to start in 2025, the resource has increased to 2 million ounces, and gold producers with deep pockets are active in the neighbourhood. At Evotec, a takeover attempt – albeit an amateurish one – has already failed this year. Will financial investor Triton make a serious bid in 2025, or will Deutsche Bank prove right with a target price of EUR 4?

CAUTION advised for Rheinmetall! COMEBACK for Bayer and Saturn Oil + Gas?
Christmas came a week early for Rheinmetall. Germany's largest defense company has secured further orders worth EUR 1.7 billion. However, investors are reacting cautiously, as a slump could be imminent. In contrast, the downside risk for Saturn Oil & Gas appears limited, with significant upside potential. As one of North America's most cost-effective oil producers, Saturn aims to generate total free cash flow of up to CAD 475 million over three years. Analysts’ targets represent a tripling of the share price. And what is Bayer doing? The Leverkusen-based company is trading close to its multi-year low. However, one analyst outlines an interesting scenario.

Christmas is fast approaching: Tesla is breaking all records – 100% with BYD, NIO, 123fahrschule or VW?
What an investment year 2024 has been! Just three days ago, the NASDAQ 100 index was up over 30%. Now, in the middle of the week, there was a strong 'one-day reversal' – the first significant weakness in months. Those who boldly invested in high-tech stocks enjoyed even larger gains, such as Nvidia soaring by 180% or Palantir Technologies surging 340%. In some sectors, however, performance was dismal. European automotive stocks, for instance, dropped an average of nearly 20%, grappling with fundamental adjustment pressures and a dramatic decline in margins. Tesla and BYD, on the other hand, demonstrated how effective stock marketing works in the automotive sector, posting gains of 82% and 39%, respectively, this year. The big question now is: what is next for 2025?

Future technologies: How Rheinmetall, Power Nickel and Super Micro are shaping the digital revolution
Digitization is spreading rapidly across all areas of the economy – from the military to the energy transition and artificial intelligence. Rheinmetall has received a major order from the government to digitally upgrade the Bundeswehr, with EUR 2 billion allocated for this project. Junior explorers such as the Canadian company Power Nickel, which is planning the first carbon-neutral nickel mine in North America, will also benefit from this. Nickel is an essential component of electronic components and storage media. In the booming AI sector, the Company Super Micro Computer is well-positioned and plans to expand its production in Malaysia despite the threat of a Nasdaq delisting. We provide the details.

Mercedes-Benz, XXIX Metal, D-Wave Quantum - Copper shortage: Is a bottleneck looming due to new technologies?
Copper is an elementary industrial raw material whose importance is steadily increasing due to technological innovations and global megatrends. In particular, the rapid expansion of electromobility, the development of quantum computers, and artificial intelligence are driving demand to new heights. Electric vehicles require many times more copper than conventional vehicles with combustion engines due to batteries, engines and charging infrastructure. At the same time, demand is increasing in data centres and networks that rely on high-performance cables and cooling systems. Experts predict that global copper demand will increase by millions of tonnes by 2030 – and with it, new challenges for production and supply.

Evotec, Rheinmetall, Vidac Pharma: Buy recommendation, cancer revolution, or price collapse?
Analysts see significant potential for multiplication with Vidac Pharma's stock. It has already been one of the standout performers in the biotech sector in the second half of the year. The Company aims to revolutionize cancer treatment and has published the next top news. Analysts also see further price potential for Rheinmetall. However, shareholders should brace themselves for a possible significant correction in the share price of Germany's largest defense contractor. By contrast, opinions on Evotec remain divided. Is the share price at risk of halving again after a year to forget? Or is now the time to buy in?

RWE, F3 Uranium, Super Micro Computer – Profiting from the world's growing hunger for energy
Global energy demand is skyrocketing, fuelled by technological progress and the enormous appetite for electricity for electric vehicles and AI-powered data centres, whose consumption could more than double by 2028. At the same time, the energy transition faces unresolved challenges: Weather-dependent wind and solar energy supply electricity in an unreliable manner, bureaucratic hurdles slow down the expansion, and without sufficient storage, alternatives for the base load are lacking. Given these developments, nuclear power is increasingly seen as the only reliable option for both satisfying the growing hunger for energy and ensuring a stable and climate-friendly energy supply in the long term.
