When young founders develop business models, it is often a question of "purpose," i.e. the best possible (good) purpose of a company. For the new generation, money is no longer the only thing that counts. Instead, earning money and doing good are the watchwords. On the stock market, too, some companies make the world a little better. We look at three stocks and find out whether there is money to be made in them.

    SMA Solar: Thoughts after the profit warning

    The share of SMA Solar recently had to give ground. The Company published a profit warning. The business with solar inverters is not going as well as planned. The expected sales are now still 10 to 12 % below the previously targeted goals. The lower sales have an even more significant impact on the expected profit: Instead of EUR 75 to 95 million, it is now expected to be EUR 50 to 65 million. If the lower figures are taken as a basis, this represents a drop of one-third. But how should investors react now?

    The share price has fallen by around 15% since the profit warning. Cautious investors could wait until the price accurately reflects the lower expected earnings. But that is rarely how the stock market works. Either the market expects the lost profits to be postponed into the next year and turns earlier, or it even comes to an exaggeration. To assess this, one either dives deep into the fundamental situation at SMA Solar or orients oneself to chart technical marks. Fundamentally, the Company is supported because it has just achieved the turnaround - setbacks are typical in such a phase. In addition, the new growth course is to be supported by all three business segments, i.e. rooftop systems, commercial systems, and large-scale power plants - so there is no problem child. From a chart perspective, the share has found support above support levels between EUR 35 and 36. If this continues, the Company, which aims to be completely CO2-neutral by 2025, could take off again.

    Memiontec: Clean water megatrend

    Memiontec is a company that is also committed to doing good and at the same time operates in a fascinating economic region. The water treatment specialists from Singapore operate in the Asian region and have been on the market for more than twenty years. In Indonesia, in particular, the Company works with government agencies and is constantly moving projects forward. However, the Company recently won two new tenders with a total volume of SGD 12.7 million from Singapore.

    As the Company is currently valued at only around EUR 60 million on the stock market, the major order caused the share price to jump. In the meantime, the share has consolidated at this level and is trending sideways. In view of the technological competence - Memiontec uses biological, chemical and physical processes for water treatment - and the general trend towards sustainability, the share can be considered an exciting growth stock. Especially in Asia, the issue of clean water is essential given rapidly growing mega-cities. Investors can make a note of Memiontec. Every new order can lead to a new valuation.

    CureVac: Is a comeback on the way?

    CureVac's failed first Corona vaccine project was the main reason for its revaluation. But anyone who writes the Company off because of this is making a mistake. The Tübingen-based Company still believes that it can help with possible mutations with vaccines. The mRNA technology also has many applications, such as a hope in the fight against cancer. The CureVac share has made a slight comeback in recent weeks. It will now be necessary for the stock to maintain its current level above EUR 57. The signs are good for a continuation of the recovery. However, the share is not a sure-fire winner.


    Doing good and earning money - various companies combine both, and investors are spoiled for choice. While former shooting stars have yet to prove they can get back on track after setbacks, newcomers such as Memiontec's water purifiers are gradually winning over more investors. Where the journey can lead when good products meet high demand is shown by the share price performance of many former stock market shooting stars.

    New Opportunities in Gold Stocks: Pan American Silver, North Arrow Minerals, and B2Gold

    The war in the Persian Gulf appears to be entering its final phase. It is becoming increasingly clear that the US government wants to withdraw as quickly as possible and declare victory, leaving the rest to its own narrative management. This sentiment is also reflected in the gold price. Most recently, Deutsche Bank helped fuel momentum by issuing a price target of USD 8,000 for gold. Now, a key technical decision may be approaching. Gold has reached the resistance zone around USD 4,850, putting the April highs within reach. If a breakout succeeds, the path toward the USD 5,200 level would at least be technically open from a chart perspective. An end to the war could provide the right momentum here. The main beneficiaries of a higher gold price are gold stocks. We therefore take a closer look at the shares of Pan American Silver, North Arrow Minerals, and B2Gold.

    Investors seeking a compelling, lucrative investment story in the gold sector may have found it in Lahontan Gold. An excellent team with a keen sense of geology and timing, ample financial resources, top-notch drilling data and assets, and a clear plan for when investors can expect the next value-enhancing milestones speaks for itself. As early as next month, an updated resource estimate could lay the groundwork for a revaluation. A new economic feasibility study is expected in September, which should underscore the company's undervaluation. With production scheduled to begin in late 2027 and the prospect of a US listing, additional catalysts are emerging. Against the backdrop of high gold prices and a resource potential of 3 million ounces of gold, the company could also increasingly come into focus as an acquisition target for larger producers.

    Comeback of the Giants: Why Nevada's Forgotten Mines Offer the Best Leverage – Lahontan Gold, Newmont, i-80 Gold

    Several factors are currently converging in the precious metals market: geopolitical instability, a shift in monetary policy, and the resurgence of real assets. This is creating strong tailwinds. As the gold price pushes into the USD 4,500-per-ounce range, industry players are increasingly focusing on regions that offer not only geological quality but, above all, legal certainty and planning reliability. In this context, the US state of Nevada has once again established itself as a global hotspot for gold production. However, when drilling on greenfield sites without historical data, investments in precious metal projects often resemble a gamble. Savvy investors tend to avoid early-stage risk and instead focus on brownfield projects—that is, formerly producing mines with existing infrastructure and well-defined ore bodies. We take a closer look at the situation in Nevada and present some compelling stocks.
