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.

    Gold and chip correction, Nvidia in purgatory! Micron Technology, Infineon and DRC Gold in focus

    • Chip sector

    • Critical metals

    • Artificial intelligence

    Jensen Huang resigns! An unprecedented leadership scandal at AI pioneer Nvidia is keeping international financial markets on tenterhooks and triggering a massive chain reaction. After CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with a Chinese executive who, according to US intelligence agencies, allegedly worked as a spy for Beijing, a second alleged relationship with a vice-president of the company has now come to light. While the FBI investigates and Nvidia's board of directors considers removing its long-serving visionary, he is taking the consequences himself. The chip giant is losing USD 1 trillion in market value in just 20 trading days. Yet this deep crisis of confidence in the industry leader does not spell the end of the AI boom; instead, it shifts the balance across the entire semiconductor market. Competitors in the chip sector now sense their big chance to wrest valuable market share and data centre orders from the beleaguered market leader. At the same time, the espionage allegations surrounding highly sensitive US processors highlight just how fiercely the technological power struggle between Washington and Beijing is being fought. Even gold, the perennial winner, is stumbling, falling below a key technical level at USD 3,880. Which stocks should investors be watching now?

    Lahontan Gold, Aixtron and TeamViewer have one thing in common: their shares are under pressure. However, their prospects may be better than their current market valuations suggest. While Lahontan Gold is banking on the reopening of a gold mine in Nevada, Aixtron has announced a strategically significant order intake. TeamViewer's lowered revenue guidance, meanwhile, has shaken investor confidence. Investors are increasingly questioning whether the software specialist can translate its sales efforts into new customers and sustainable growth. Where is there genuine share price upside, and where would investors be better off staying on the sidelines?

    Artificial intelligence and electromobility are simultaneously driving demand for chips and metals. Data centres need memory chips and plenty of copper for power and wiring, while electric vehicles need batteries and copper as well. In early November, Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT reported progress on a new DRAM architecture. Shortly before that, BYD had reported more than 300,000 all-electric vehicles in a single month for the first time in October. If the trend continues, memory chips, copper and electric vehicles will benefit from the same demand. We therefore take a closer look at Micron Technology, Power Metallic Mines and BYD.
