Evotec, Royal Helium, Nel ASA - Turnaround candidates under review
With the recent rise in shares in Power Nickel, following a bonanza find in its exploration work, the topic of "turnaround candidates on the stock market" is once again coming to the fore. Such companies, which get back on track after significant price falls, offer investors enormous profit potential. The recovery after a deep crisis can represent a second chance for investors but requires a keen sense of market analysis and timing. The success of the investment depends largely on the right selection and timing of entry. We take a look at three candidates.

Covestro, Globex Mining, and Deutz with significant momentum
The rising demand for industrial metals from the renewable energy sector and the increased demand from the defense industry due to the current geopolitical shift pose significant challenges for the Western world. In addition to exploring its own deposits, an improvement in trade relations with China would be desirable. However, following the visit of the Minister of Economic Affairs to China's most important trading partner, this wish has receded into the distant future.

Shaping the future of energy: Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, and SMA Solar in focus
The European Commission has launched a hydrogen bank to reduce harmful emissions in Europe. Financial incentives are being used to finance hydrogen projects worth hundreds of millions. Plug Power can score points with its knowledge advantage and secured a 25-megawatt deal for its electrolyser systems with a company in the EU. However, fossil fuels remain an essential part of the global economic infrastructure. Saturn Oil & Gas is pleased to announce the completion of a fresh acquisition in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Investors, in turn, are pleased with the Company's liquidity and further debt reduction. Investors in SMA Solar AG are less pleased. Following a profit warning, the share price plummeted, and analysts are disgruntled. Does this mark the end for the German solar industry? Chinese companies are still gaining ground. Where is it worth investing?

300%-Opportunity, problems, and the German Chancellor: Bayer, BioNTech, and Cardiol Therapeutics
Bayer is making positive headlines for a change. Following takeovers in cell and gene therapy, the Company is investing in Berlin and has brought the renowned Charité Hospital on board. Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz gives the go-ahead for the project. Can the share benefit from this? The sell-off in Cardiol Therapeutics shares after positive study results was a surprise. Analysts are enthusiastic, raising price targets and seeing 300% potential. On the other hand, BioNTech shares are currently not an obvious buy. And now there are also problems with the FDA in the US. This is causing alarm among shareholders and impacting the share.

Plug Power, Carbon Done Right, Evotec - Turnaround after the price slump
After the price surges in recent weeks, there were initial signs of a temporary top formation in the major US indices, including the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq. It is hardly surprising, given that these indices have been in overbought territory since the upward trend that began in November. Once again, it is crucial for investors to pick the winners of the coming weeks despite a possible correction.

IPOs, Takeovers and Mergers - Here we go again! Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Nel ASA, and Cavendish
Every day, new records on the NASDAQ make investors' dreams come true, but at the end of last week, there were the first signs of a correction, with top stock Nvidia losing 10% from its peak. This is a minor setback after a rise of almost 100% since mid-April. The IPO market is also picking up again as newcomers want to seize the opportunity. The Norwegian hydrogen pioneer Nel ASA successfully floated its filling station subsidiary on the stock exchange. This creates more transparency within the Company and fills the coffers. While Varta has issued another revenue warning, Altech Advanced Materials is launching its new battery technologies. In terms of achievements, "Made in Germany" is still "top", but the right stock selection remains the trump card.

Bank quake?! Is Deutsche Bank affected? Desert Gold and Barrick Gold as safe havens!
Europe could be facing a new banking quake. The reason for this lies in French government bonds. Since the French President called for new elections, one has been able to read a lot about a possible shift to the right, but the real problems have hardly been reported so far. France's national debt ratio is 110% of gross domestic product, making it the highest in Europe. French bonds are worth less because risk premiums have risen by almost 60%. As a result, interest rates are rising, and accordingly, the value of government bonds is falling. As a result, all banks that hold these government bonds are suffering book losses. Deutsche Bank could also be affected by this. Additionally, we are looking at gold companies that are considered safe havens.

Biotech: What counts is selection! Bayer, Vidac Pharma, Formycon, and Evotec in focus
The biotech sector has so far been unable to keep pace with the high-tech-heavy NASDAQ. However, there are now signals from the central banks that a turnaround in interest rates is imminent. This is because, on the one hand, the US economy is weakening, and on the other hand, inflationary pressure appears to be easing. With lower interest rates, life science companies can refinance themselves more cheaply. Due to the different dynamics, it is now important to fish out the pearls. We select attractive entry levels.

Apple, Kraken Energy, Palantir - Network effect for market expansion, who is ahead?
Network effects play a decisive role for companies in securing and expanding market share. Apple is strengthening its consumer credit business through its partnership with Affirm. This will allow the Company to further expand its mobile payment solution in the US while it struggles with regulatory challenges in the EU. Kraken Energy is a US-based uranium exploration company strategically positioned in the global energy industry. With a focus on high-value projects such as the Apex Uranium Mine in Nevada, Kraken Energy is capitalizing on the increasing global demand for nuclear energy resources. Palantir, on the other hand, is actively expanding its business towards B2B customers, particularly through AI-driven data analysis. Which of the three companies is ahead in terms of network effects?

Opportunities upon opportunities: sell AI now! Nel ASA, Royal Helium, Plug Power, and BYD
19,887 is the new record high of the NASDAQ 100 index. Dream returns from Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft could accelerate the stock market's growth into the summer once again. This could also make the second quarter of 2024 a good month for equities, as the saying "Sell in May and go Away" does not seem to apply this year. However, there are plenty of lagging stocks with great potential. They are currently on one side, as the attraction of the "Magnificent Seven" is too strong. We take the euphoria as an opportunity to take a closer look at a few promising stocks.
