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.

    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.

    As the gold price continues to consolidate, this gold gem may present the investment opportunity of the year. Lahontan Gold is aiming to make history in the coming months by advancing toward gold production in Nevada. In its latest investor presentation, management confirmed that preparations for mine construction remain fully on track. In addition, a new resource estimate is expected to be released in the coming weeks. If projections from major banks such as Goldman Sachs are correct, the gold price could soon regain upward momentum, with some forecasts suggesting levels above USD 5,000 by the end of 2026. This is being driven in part by stronger-than-expected central bank gold purchases. With potential production costs of around USD 1,200 per ounce, Lahontan Gold could benefit significantly. At current levels, the stock still appears attractively valued.

    Takeover Candidates for 2026! The Life Sciences Sector Is Heating Up: Evotec, BioNxt Solutions, BioNTech, and Formycon in Focus!

    In recent months, the stock market has focused primarily on high-tech and defence stocks. While this strategy may have worked well for investors in the short term, it has also pushed several life sciences stocks to levels that some consider overly depressed. The Hamburg-based drug discovery company Evotec has lost around 75% of its market value over the past three years, with similar declines seen at BioNTech, Formycon, and BioNxt Solutions. Yet some pipelines are indeed valuable and backed by years of research. For a buyer with deep pockets, this could represent an attractive opportunity, as much of the costly early-stage work has already been completed. We are looking at a sector that has been unjustly forgotten. Where do opportunities lie for risk-conscious investors?
