IPO underpricing measures the difference between the price subscribers have to pay for new issues, i.e. the issue price and the prices then traded on the stock exchange. This phenomenon was first addressed in studies some 50 years ago. In sum, IPO underpricing exists worldwide. However, depending on the market phase, country and market capitalization size, this effect can look very different. It is, therefore, wrong to conclude that every IPO is a success. We separate the wheat from the chaff. Which stock is a clear buy?

    Siemens Energy - Analysts see 40% upside potential

    Siemens Energy was created through a spin-off from Siemens AG last year. Since the IPO on September 28, 2020, the parent company still owns 35.1%, and Siemens Pension-Trust e.V. still owns 9.9% of the spin-off. The first traded price was EUR 22.01; currently, the shares are trading at around EUR 25.50. The DAX-listed Group is thus valued at EUR 18.6 billion. Since the IPO, the shares have traded in a range of EUR 18.37 to EUR 34.49.

    Siemens Energy is active worldwide along almost the entire energy value chain and employs around 91,000 people. Its product range includes gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, transformers and compressors. With a 67% stake in Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, Siemens Energy is also one of the global market leaders in the renewable energy sector. Siemens Gamesa is one of the largest wind power producers globally and recently reported a jump in profits.

    The list of Siemens Energy's strategic initiatives and cooperation is immensely long and includes Salzgitter, RWE, Uniper and the Japanese Mitsubishi Group. The Company is still in the red. But already in the next fiscal year, according to analyst consensus, the Company will generate sales of EUR 30.2 billion and make a profit. The 2022 P/E ratio is currently 32, which is a high value, but it will drop noticeably in subsequent years. Experts forecast a net cash position of EUR 3 billion for the coming fiscal year. On average, analysts attest the stock an upside of a good 40% to EUR 36.

    QMINES LIMITED - Significantly undervalued compared to competitors

    At the beginning of May, QMines, the Australian-based exploration company, made its stock market debut on the ASX for AUD 0.30 per share. Its flagship project is Mount Chalmers, a high-grade historic copper and gold mine. The project has an existing resource and several high-priority exploration targets that offer significant growth potential. The Company has planned an aggressive exploration program to test a number of these targets, increase the existing resource, and enhance shareholder value. In addition, the Company owns three other projects.

    At the end of May, the Company published excellent drill results on the main Mount Chalmers project. In total, the first test bores were carried out over almost 1,600m. Maximum values ​​of 13.4% copper, 6.1 g/t gold and 31 g/t silver were found. Further drilling over 3,000m was started. The share price subsequently jumped significantly but is currently back within sight of the IPO price of AUD 0.30 at AUD 0.34. The good drilling results increase the probability that the official resource estimates will be significantly higher in the medium term. With a market capitalization of AUD 38 million, the stock is not expensive, given the potential. Analysts believe that the stock is significantly undervalued compared to its competitors and believe that the shares have a potential upside of around 50%!

    AUTO1 GROUP SE - Putting more horsepower on the road

    At the end of February, the leading European digital automotive platform for online buying and selling used cars entered the scene. Through its established platforms: wirkaufendeinauto.de, AUTO1.com and Autohero, AUTO1 Group offers consumers and professional car dealers throughout continental Europe a quick and easy way to sell and buy used cars without time-consuming price negotiations. The Group is present in more than 30 countries with more than 80 brands and all price categories. Analysts forecast sales of EUR 4.1 billion for the current fiscal year, rising to EUR 5.7 billion in 2022. The Group will still be in the red in both 2021 and 2022. However, this does not stop analysts from granting the share an average upside potential of a good 50% to EUR 54.50.

    Recently, the Company announced an innovative expansion of its financing mix with the issue of a digital bond as a security token offering (STO). According to the Company, this is the first STO in the German automotive sector. The offering has a maximum volume of EUR 4 million with a one-year maturity and an interest rate of 5% per annum. Professional investors only can subscribe to the digital bond with a minimum subscription amount of EUR 200,000. With this instrument, the Group provides vehicle dealers with liquidity by enabling them to finance the purchase of cars through to resale to the end customer. Everything is mapped digitally. The share is currently trading at around EUR 35, with a market capitalization of EUR 7.4 billion. The first traded price was just under EUR 46.

    Roadmap to Production Is Set: Those Who Ignore Lahontan Gold Now May Regret It Later

    The Canadian company Lahontan Gold is steadily advancing from explorer to mine developer in Nevada. Financing is secured, drilling is underway, and the roadmap is clearly defined. Those taking a closer look now can see a pattern of disciplined execution and tangible progress. This is not a speculative bet on a geological miracle, but rather the implementation of a concrete and well-structured plan. The coming months could demonstrate that a historic mining district can indeed be transformed into a new gold producer.

    150% Opportunity and Risk at the Same Time! Kobo Resources on the Verge of Gold, TUI, easyJet, and Lufthansa Attractively Valued

    • Aviation

    With extreme volatility expected in 2026, one thing remains clear: gold serves as a portfolio stabilizer. In an environment of rising inflation, increasing interest rates, and soaring commodity prices, precious metals have performed strongly so far. Due to the Iran conflict, travel and tourism stocks in particular have come under pressure, as they are affected by weaker travel demand, tighter household budgets, and ultimately higher fuel costs. But those who look beyond the immediate horizon recognize that crises are temporary, and fear-driven valuation discounts can create medium-term buying opportunities. For risk-conscious investors, these scenarios present investment opportunities that would not be expected under normal circumstances. For instance, Deutsche Lufthansa is currently trading at around 30% below its book value, while TUI is trading at a P/E ratio of about 5. Is this irrational? In the short term, perhaps not. In the long term, however, it may well be. As the saying goes: buy when the cannons thunder.

    Is the Gold Price Falling? Buy the Dip! Why Barrick Mining, Desert Gold Ventures, and Agnico Eagle Mines Now Offer Attractive Entry Points

    Following the recent decline in the gold price, alarm bells are ringing for many investors. But those who look closely will recognize a familiar market dynamic. Every overheated rally is typically followed by a healthy consolidation phase. It is precisely this correction that may create a rare window of opportunity for strategically positioned investors, as the precious metal's fundamental upward momentum remains intact thanks to expectations of interest rate cuts and central bank purchases. Those willing to take a contrarian view at this stage could benefit disproportionately from the next recovery phase. Three industry players with different strategic profiles illustrate how current uncertainty can be transformed into potential returns: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle.
