The correction in most technology stocks last month was short and painful. Stocks in sectors that have been hyped in recent months, such as hydrogen, electromobility and e-commerce, lost more than half of their market value at their peak. The most important price barometer for high-tech stocks, the Nasdaq 100, corrected from over 13,800 points to just under 12,200 points at its low. Since then, a dynamic countermovement has set in, which should soon lead to new highs. Take your chance now to invest in attractive stocks!

    wallstreet:online - In the midst of growth

    One of the winners of the Corona Crisis were online brokers. Many people, especially the younger adults, used #WirbleibenzuHause to get involved with shares, funds, ETFs and Co. According to the German Stock Institute, there were 28% more shareholders in 2020 than the year before. Especially among those under 30, stocks seem to be right on trend at the moment. A total of 600,000 young adults ventured into the market, an increase of almost 70% compared to the previous year. In addition to the pandemic, neobrokers, with their mobile-first strategy, were the main reason a new generation of investors established itself in the capital market.

    In the mobile sector, Smartbroker, founded in 2019 and belonging to wallstreet:online AG wants to catch up with the neobrokers. Through an innovative smartphone app, the Berliners wish to increase both customer growth and transactions made significantly. Thus, the number of customer deposits is expected to increase by 120,000 to 200,000 this year. Despite the rapidly growing portal business - wallstreet:online is the absolute market leader with sites such as wallstreet-online.de, finanznachrichten.de and ariva.de - Smartbroker is set to become the growth driver of the future. As early as 2021, 40% of the Group's total revenue is to be generated from the transactional business and around 60% from advertising income.

    The analysts at GBC AG expect wallstreet:online AG to generate an EBITDA of almost EUR 20 million in 2021 and see the stock as a buy candidate with a price target of EUR 29. Currently, the share price is still in the consolidation phase and is quoted at EUR 18.70 after the all-time high of EUR 29.70 in mid-February. The bottoming phase will be completed once the resistance at EUR 21 has been overcome. In the long term, the growth stock offers good opportunities for above-average returns.

    Palantir - Buy the dip!

    Rarely do investor opinions differ as strongly as they do with the US data analysis Company Palantir Technologies' stock. For some, it is the next big thing after Tesla, and for others, it is far too expensive and too opaque. On "WallStreetBets," a forum on the Reddit community, Palantir even overtook GameStop as the "most discussed stock" at times. The US Company, which lost more than 30% of its value in recent weeks due to its weaker-than-expected quarterly figures and the end of the lock-up period for existing shareholders, was now able to announce another significant government contract.

    The Company has signed a five-year contract worth USD 89.9 million with the National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA, part of the United States Department of Energy. In return, Palantir will provide digital security and analytics capabilities for an NNSA nuclear security project. Under the terms of the contract, NNSA will use Palantir for "effective knowledge management and data-driven decision making" as part of a more extensive security, analytics, forecasting and evaluation reporting project, also known as SAFER.

    The positive news sent shares trading up as much as 4% to the current USD 23.44. From a chart perspective, a sustained break above the USD 25 mark would be a liberating blow.

    NanoRepro - The winner of a sustainable trend

    Being in the right place at the right time is especially true for NanoRepro AG. Before Corona, the Marburg-based Company was active in the field of self-diagnostics and had 25 rapid tests in its portfolio - including an HIV test, two pregnancy tests and five others purely for medical use. Corona and its entry into the field of rapid antigen tests rewrote the Company's history.

    CFO Stefan Pieh has released forecasts for 2021. This sees at least EUR 250 million sales volume based on Corona's B2B rapid antigen tests to date and its partnership with ViroMed. Possible larger orders from abroad or orders in the currently not yet approved saliva test for the end customer area are only included to a small extent in this scenario.

    Overall, a sales volume of EUR 400 million is possible. In addition to its operational activities, which are currently strongly focused on the sale of Corona's rapid antigen tests, NanoRepro is presently evaluating several promising products from the medical/healthcare sector for the expansion of its business base after "Corona." In our opinion, NanoRepro's business model with Corona rapid tests should continue for a long time. Life without a mask and testing seems unlikely at the moment, even after the virus has been contained. One should use more significant setbacks to enter the share.

    Tungsten, Weapons and Growth: Almonty, Rheinmetall and Deutz Under Review. Is This an Opportunity in a Megatrend?

    • Tungsten

    The stock market is not linear. Greed and fear, excessive optimism or excessive scepticism—all of these drive markets. Only the future will tell what is cheap or expensive today. The stocks mentioned above are at precisely this point. Secure supply chains, access to raw materials and defence readiness are high on the agenda of Western governments. These long-term trends play strongly into the hands of defence companies and raw material producers. Almonty, in particular, as a producer of the critical raw material tungsten, holds a leading position in the sector. Where do the greatest opportunities lie for investors now?

    Who Profits When Patents Expire? The Billion-Euro Race Between Formycon, Fresenius and Pfizer

    • Biosimilar
    • FDA
    • Milestone
    • Cancer therapy
    • Pharma
    • Patents
    • Investments

    When patent protection for high-revenue biopharmaceuticals expires, a billion-euro market for follow-on products emerges. Michael Sen, head of the German healthcare group Fresenius SE, cites an impressive figure. By 2035, this could generate around EUR 180 billion in revenue. In particular, biosimilars, biotechnologically produced follow-on medicines that are highly similar in composition to the original medicine and equivalent in quality, efficacy and safety, are forecast to grow significantly. Moreover, biosimilars can strengthen competition and reduce treatment costs. Formycon stands out as a pure play. The company recently reached a crucial milestone. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the marketing authorisation application, the first publicly known application of its kind, for FYB206, a biosimilar candidate to the cancer medicine Keytruda, for review. Keytruda generates around USD 32 billion in annual revenue, making it the world's highest-revenue medicine. Fresenius is strengthening its positioning in the biosimilar sector through an acquisition. Pfizer needs new growth drivers. Who is best positioned for the year-end rally?

    Every Crisis Creates an Opportunity: Nordex Stumbles, Jungheinrich Struggles, and RE Royalties Looks to Have Found a Bottom

    • Investments
    • Trading Opportunity
    • Technical Analysis
    • Rebound

    When market participants suddenly lose their nerve, and industrial heavyweights like Jungheinrich plunge to new multi-year lows despite bulging order books, a key question for private investors, among others, is whether this is a dangerous crisis with further downside ahead or an attractive entry opportunity. Nordex, too, has recently struggled to build on its successes from earlier this year. The share is trapped in a consolidation phase and has now returned to its level from late February, when it broke out upwards on high volume and with a long green weekly candlestick. Is this an attractive entry point for investors desperately seeking stable, high-yield alternatives in the future-oriented renewable energy market? Find out why scepticism could prevail regarding well-known German names and why a pioneer in royalty financing could be on the verge of the next major share price surge following a technical “textbook pattern”.
