Royal Helium, Siemens Healthineers, Eckert & Ziegler - Is helium coming after hydrogen?
Hydrogen as an investment topic is on everyone's lips. No other chemical element has such a large occurrence in the universe (outside the earth's crust). But it could also be lucrative to look at the second most abundant element in the universe: helium. Helium has the lowest melting and boiling points of all elements. It is used in low-temperature technology, especially as a coolant for superconducting magnets, e.g., medical technology for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) equipment. We present investment ideas associated with helium, ranging from the noble gas extraction to its use in certain products. Which stock has the most potential?

ROYAL HELIUM LTD - share price tripled within a few weeks
Royal Helium is focused on exploring and developing a 400,000-hectare helium project in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Last week, the Company reported that the first of three helium exploration wells, Climax-1, was successfully drilled to the planned depth of 2,600 meters. The Company will evaluate test data within the next three to four weeks. In the meantime, Royal Helium is starting the second exploration well (Climax-2), which is expected to be completed in several weeks.
Last December, Royal Helium raised the necessary funds for the exploration program through an oversubscribed capital increase. The issue price was only CAD 0.22 per share, the exercise price of the linked (whole) warrant with a term of 2 years was CAD 0.35.
Compared to the capital increase, the share price has almost tripled. The shares are currently trading around CAD 0.65, giving the Company a market value of CAD 57 million. Royal Helium is one of the largest helium lessees in the country. Thus, if positive, the test results of the exploration wells will substantially impact the share price. Royal Helium's valuation still has some room to run.
