The crisis divides the economy: On the one hand, some industries are forced into change or disappear from the market. On the other hand, there are also winners of the crisis: shares in the healthcare sector profit from the increasing demand for healthcare or laboratory products. Chip manufacturers are happy about full order books and are beneficiaries of the growing digitalization. The megatrend of the past few years has gained additional momentum due to the pandemic.

    Sartorius: What follows after a 120% return on investment?

    The shares of the Goettingen-based Company, Sartorius, were quickly named as a beneficiary of the pandemic. Indeed, the share price performance of the past years looks very impressive: The share price climbed like clockwork. Sartorius manufactures single-use products for the production of drugs and other laboratory supplies. At a time when millions of people are tested for a Covid-19 infection every week, and the race for a vaccine is entering a hot phase, the share price appears attractive.

    The Company is also optimistic and recently increased its forecast. Although Sartorius has an ambitious valuation, additional business due to the pandemic is very likely. On a one-year horizon, the share price climbed nearly 120%. Although the dividend is only available in homeopathic doses, this is not important for investors. The share is a solid growth stock in a promising industry - but it is also a bit expensive.

    Intel: chip giant does not get off the ground

    In contrast, the Intel share is not expensive and currently offers an entry in the low double-digit price-earnings ratio range. Chips from Intel are found in many desktop PCs and laptops. The chip giant is also involved in many other areas and is indirectly considered an attractive investment in the leisure sector - gaming has long been a billion-dollar market, and the fastest chips often come from Intel. The chip manufacturer also covers topics like the Internet of Things.

    In the year, there were rumors that Intel might in future rely on contract manufacturers from Taiwan for the production of chips. These plans have been rejected as it is vital to customers that high-quality chips come from Intel. The processors rightly have the reputation of being of high quality and often cost a little more than, for example, competing products from AMD. The share price trend shows the fact that digitization alone as a buzzword is no longer sufficient to attract investors. Intel shares have lost 26.2% over the past twelve months. Despite a low valuation and a stable dividend yield of well over 2%, the share currently shows no momentum.

    Royal Helium: Investment in booming industries with a difference

    Shareholders of the Canadian Company Royal Helium cannot complain about dynamics - the value has been volatile for months. The Company is searching for the noble gas helium in the south of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The gas is used as a propellant or packing gas and, is also used in medicine and chip manufacture. It is also known as a carrier gas for balloons and airships. Royal Helium operates in a traditional production area for the gas and expects long-term growth from its production.

    As analysts from Cormark Securities report, the growing demand for helium could lead to a supply shortfall in the coming years, which will become even more significant. In the USA, about one-third of the need for helium comes from the medical sector. The noble gas is used in magnetic resonance imaging equipment. Other significant areas of application in the USA are carrier gas (17%), laboratory instruments (14%) or chip production (5%). In total, the analysts distinguish more than eight areas of application.

    Given the market perspective around helium, the analysts of Cormark Securities see a price target of CAD 0.80 for the share - that is about 100% above the current price. Given the market capitalization of only about EUR 12.8 million, the share must be considered highly speculative. However, rapid price increases are possible, especially with such small caps. While shares like Sartorius are already expensive and stocks like Intel are not picking up speed, Royal Helium could be worth considering for speculative investors. After all, the helium market is also profiting from the booming healthcare and semiconductor industries.

    Supply chains on the NASDAQ! Critical metals sold out? What is next for Almonty - Caution advised with Rheinmetall, Deutz, and RENK

    Snip-Snap! In and out of the markets! At the moment, all stock market wisdom applies, because there is nothing more unpredictable for investors than the current US president. And who would have thought that the critical metal supply chains would suddenly become a major driving force behind the NASDAQ rally? Just as Xi Jinping threw rare metals into the ring as a bargaining chip, Donald Trump blew a fuse. Punitive tariffs of up to 100% were suddenly on the table, and the markets went into a tailspin. Yet just one trading day later, everything is put into perspective, and the markets have to find their new valuation point – no easy task. Yesterday, nervousness returned, as reflected in a sharp rise in the volatility index. What should investors be keeping a close eye on now?

    The global defense industry is facing a fundamental supply crisis. Antimony, a largely overlooked metal that is indispensable for high-performance electronics, armor-piercing alloys, and flame-resistant propulsion systems, is becoming a key strategic factor. Prices are skyrocketing, and massive supply bottlenecks are emerging. This shortage is hitting defense giants and suppliers hard, forcing them to radically rethink their procurement strategy. Today, we take a closer look at the current situation of the RENK Group, the explorer Antimony Resources, and the largest US defense contractor RTX.

    With the Green Deal, the European Union has committed itself to the most ambitious sustainability program in its history. Through multi-billion-euro funding instruments, from the EU taxonomy to the InvestEU Fund and the Innovation Fund, Brussels is directing capital specifically toward green technologies, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure. For investors, the triggers are clear: stricter climate regulations, rising CO₂ prices, and the increasing commitment of institutional investors to comply with ESG standards are creating structural demand for green projects. Those who invest early in low-emission business models benefit twice over - from political support and growing social acceptance. So what makes companies like Deutsche Bank, Nordex, and RE Royalties the winners?
