The winds across global equity markets have grown noticeably stronger, bringing sharp moves in both directions. Technology and automotive giants that have long been accustomed to success are feeling the full force of this turbulence. Faced with declining share prices and geopolitical uncertainty, investors are increasingly looking beyond the mainstream for fresh opportunities. While companies such as SAP and BYD are fighting to defend their lofty valuations, intriguing second-tier players are quietly positioning themselves for growth. This raises a legitimate question: should investors allocate capital into "fallen angels" such as SAP and BYD, or focus on lesser-known growth stories with potentially greater upside? We examine the current market environment and take a closer look at three very different companies. Discover why software heavyweight SAP and electric vehicle pioneer BYD are facing challenges, and why Canadian agtech company MustGrow Biologics could be approaching a breakout. One thing is certain: the stage is set for an exciting summer in the markets.

    SAP Is Desperately Searching for a Bottom

    SAP, Europe's flagship software company and once the undisputed leader, has lost significant ground in recent months. From its impressive record high of EUR 283.50 in February 2025, the price has since slipped to just over EUR 130. That represents a steep decline of over 50%. The reasons for this sell-off are manifold, but cannot be dismissed. Perhaps the sell-off is already a bit exaggerated, but it could become even more so in the coming weeks—who knows? For one thing, the uncertain trend in chip prices is making investors nervous. Hardware costs for cloud infrastructures could rise, as contract manufacturers like TSMC have announced price increases.

    In addition, concerns about the future surrounding the rapid spread of artificial intelligence (AI) are weighing on the entire software sector. Many investors simply fear that established solutions could be displaced by new AI tools.

    Meanwhile, there is absolute radio silence on the operational front. The company is in the so-called "quiet period" ahead of its quarterly earnings report on July 23. Analysts see significant potential again at the current discounted level. Although the research firm Jefferies lowered its price target to EUR 210, it clearly maintains its "Buy" rating. Long-term glimmers of hope, such as a planned EU tax reform, could also save the complexly structured group billions in the future. Nevertheless, the technical picture remains severely weakened for the time being. From a technical analysis perspective, it is even possible that the stock could slide toward EUR 120—or, in an extreme scenario, even toward EUR 100. Nothing can be ruled out during such a market phase. Investors who believe in SAP's future—even amid AI—could enter the market in stages as prices continue to fall. Very exciting!

    BYD Makes a Push in Europe, but the Market Reacts Coolly

    From SAP's virtual data cloud, we now shift to the real world of vehicles on the road, as the Chinese EV group BYD is also currently facing a tough time on the stock market. Shares are languishing on European exchanges near their 52-week low, hovering around the EUR 8.50 mark. In fact, it is not far from the all-time low of EUR 7.62 set in August 2024. Yet the company is posting rather impressive operating figures. In May 2026, BYD sold over 160,000 vehicles outside of China, setting an all-time record.

    Nevertheless, the European Union's impending tariff policy on plug-in hybrids is significantly dampening investor sentiment. The automaker, however, is not particularly deterred by this and is planning a massive model offensive. At the British Goodwood Festival of Speed, BYD is making a major impact, unveiling no fewer than eight new models for the European market. These include not only vehicles for the mass market but also the premium brand Denza and the luxury segment Yangwang. In addition, the Shark pickup fills an important gap in Europe. Strategically, BYD is doing almost everything right, but the significant first-quarter profit decline and the relentless price war in its home market of China continue to keep stock market investors cautious. A clear breakout has yet to materialize. Nevertheless, at the EUR 8 to 8.50 level, the stock becomes attractive for a rebound trade. The RSI has reached 20 and is already signaling that an upward correction toward EUR 10 could occur soon.

    MustGrow Biologics: Fresh Capital and Positioned for a Potential Breakout

    While billion-dollar stocks such as SAP and BYD are battling strong headwinds in some cases, an interesting development is emerging in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. MustGrow Biologics specializes in sustainable agricultural technology—an area considered critical for the future, given the steadily growing global population and rising food demand. The company uses patented technologies to derive natural biopesticides and organic fertilizers from the mustard plant. At a time when synthetic agricultural fertilizers and chemicals are increasingly subject to regulatory pressure, MustGrow's core products, TerraSante and TerraMG, which is pre-registered, are perfectly in tune with the spirit of the times.

    The latest news underscores the company's strong fundamental performance. In May 2026, the mustard-derived organic biofertility product TerraSante received registration in additional key US agricultural states. This opens up access to major markets for high-value crops. This expansion is supported by strong strategic partners. In the key EMEA market for biological crop protection, MustGrow is working exclusively with industry leader Bayer, which is estimated to invest USD 35 to 40 million in development and commercialization efforts.

    In June 2026, management delivered another major milestone. The company successfully closed its non-brokered LIFE private placement, issuing approximately 7.48 million shares at a price of CAD 0.50 per unit, and raising gross proceeds of roughly CAD 3.74 million. In addition to the common shares, the units include a warrant entitling buyers to purchase one additional share for CAD 0.70 over the next five years. This fresh capital is expected to be used to expand TerraSante production and support general working capital requirements. The capital structure remains relatively lean, with approximately 70.4 million shares outstanding. At a market capitalization of around CAD 30 million, the company still appears to offer considerable room for growth.

    From a technical analysis perspective, the setup at MustGrow Biologics appears increasingly attractive. The stock has reached the lower boundary of its trend channel at approximately CAD 0.40 to 0.41 (see chart below), an area that represents significant support. This could provide the foundation for renewed upward momentum. Following the successful financing and with fresh capital behind it, the shares may well be positioned for a rebound. Initial upside targets of CAD 0.50, or even CAD 0.60, are therefore back in focus. Should the stock successfully break through these levels, a move toward the CAD 0.75 to 0.80 range cannot be ruled out from a technical perspective, as this corresponds to the most recent significant high. At current levels, the risk-reward profile appears favourable for investors considering an entry position.

    Following the successful placement, the stock could use the support of the trendline to initiate a rebound!

    In summary, the market currently shows little, if any, tolerance for major missteps. SAP must prove with its operating figures at the end of July that margins are holding steady and the cloud narrative remains intact. Until then, anything is possible. On the downside, investors who believe in the long-term prospects of the software giant may consider building a position gradually during periods of weakness.

    At BYD, global expansion plans face fierce domestic price competition and regulatory hurdles in Europe. The company is growing, but the market demands significantly higher profitability. At EUR 8–8.50, bold investors could buy the stock for a rebound trade, targeting EUR 10.

    The current situation at MustGrow Biologics appears increasingly attractive following the recent share price weakness. The company operates in a promising long-term growth market, continues to secure key regulatory approvals, and has successfully strengthened its financial position. With Bayer as a strong strategic partner and the stock trading near the lower end of its long-term trend channel, MustGrow has established a compelling starting position. For informed investors with a higher risk tolerance, the stock may warrant a closer look at current levels.

    E-Mobility in the Grip of Energy Prices! Things Are Heating Up for VW, Porsche, Mercedes, BYD and Phenom Resources

    Filling up currently feels like a painful visit to the dentist — but without much hope of a cure! Yet despite all the gloom, there are also winners. Against the backdrop of rising energy prices, European e-mobility has entered a dynamic yet fiercely competitive phase in recent months. The historic price shock at the pump is prompting consumers to rethink their spending while driving a boom in new battery electric vehicle registrations. In Europe, electric vehicles now appear on the horizon as a subsidized solution, while gasoline and diesel prices march from one all-time high to the next. However, the charts so beloved by stock market traders are difficult to apply to gas station products. As the operating costs of internal combustion engines soar, electric vehicles are rapidly gaining appeal as an alternative. This is particularly good news for Chinese automakers, who are pushing into Europe with an aggressive market strategy and challenging the established, traditional brands. Even the import tariffs imposed by Brussels on pure-electric vehicles can barely slow the advance from the Far East. The local automotive industry is thus under unprecedented pressure to transform and compete. Where exactly should investors be looking?

    Gas Prices Above EUR 2.50? Nel ASA, Bayer, MustGrow and K+S in the Spotlight

    The ongoing debate over rising energy costs and the transition toward a greener economy is increasingly reaching gas stations and supermarket shelves. If gasoline prices remain sustainably above EUR 2.50, agricultural producers in particular will come under enormous pressure. Food production remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, as tractors and harvesters are traditionally powered by agricultural diesel. Higher fuel prices therefore directly increase the cost of producing and transporting our daily food. At the same time, the agricultural sector faces the enormous challenge of reducing its reliance on conventional chemicals and fertilizers and finding more sustainable alternatives. This transformation requires innovative approaches at the intersection of the energy and agricultural sectors. Companies such as Nel ASA are therefore moving into focus, as green hydrogen can play a key role in decarbonizing the agricultural sector and producing cleaner fuels. Specialists such as MustGrow Biologics are also gaining importance by developing biological crop protection products designed to replace chemical alternatives. The traditional fertilizer giant K+S is likewise a key player in the rapidly evolving sector of sustainable food. Where are the opportunities for investors?
