Focus on Copper and PGMs: A Solid Foundation with Ivanhoe and Sibanye – Analyst Favorite Power Metallic Mines
Decarbonization and AI-driven digital infrastructure are driving demand for platinum group metals (PGMs) and copper. Modern data centers use approximately 27 metric tons of copper per megawatt of installed capacity. According to S&P Global, a global supply shortfall of 10 million metric tons of copper is looming by 2040. In this environment, industry giants such as Ivanhoe Mines and Sibanye-Stillwater are benefiting from their massive production capacities and supplying the industry. For investors seeking exceptional returns, however, the Canadian explorer Power Metallic Mines is coming into focus. The company is exploring a polymetallic system in Québec that, according to a detailed analysis by GBC Research, is likely to undergo a significant revaluation. Using examples of major producers, we explain why Power Metallic is active in an attractive sector and what opportunities the stock offers.

AI and Nuclear Power: Solid Returns with Meta and Intel – High-Flying Opportunity: Standard Uranium
Future economic growth will depend heavily on the availability of reliable, low-carbon baseload power. The high energy demands of technology companies driven by AI innovations are contributing to a renewed interest in nuclear power. The reasons go far beyond previous environmental visions. As studies by McKinsey and PwC show, the AI industry is growing by 15 to 20% annually through 2030. To avoid falling behind, companies like Meta and Intel are investing billions in a completely new AI infrastructure. Through partnerships with players like Oklo and TerraPower, Meta is driving the development of a 6.6 GW nuclear campus to operate its AI superclusters in a climate-neutral manner. Intel is focusing on optimizing energy efficiency directly at the chip level, as the power consumption of modern racks has risen to up to 120 kW. To satisfy the hunger for nuclear fuel, Standard Uranium is driving the search for tomorrow's safe deposits forward with its ambitious winter drilling program. For investors, the current trend offers opportunities - we show where the greatest leverage lies.

Energy for the AI Era: The Outlook for RE Royalties, Clearway Energy, and RWE
The financing of energy projects is becoming increasingly important due to crises and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), energy consumption by data centers could rise to 945 TWh by 2030, while McKinsey expects investments of nearly seven trillion USD in US infrastructure. This is also forcing industry to accelerate the expansion of electricity generation capacity. Three companies have positioned themselves in this dynamic landscape. While RWE is betting big on renewable energy through global investments in offshore wind farms, Clearway Energy focuses on operating wind and solar farms in the US. Clearway secures reliable cash flows through contracts with global corporations. The Canadian company RE Royalties, on the other hand, acts as a financing partner that benefits from the expansion of energy infrastructure while avoiding the operational risks of a direct plant operator. The fact that all of the companies mentioned are thriving in the current environment is underscored by the Inflation Reduction Act in the US and the latest market reforms in the EU. Reason enough to take a closer look at the market from an investor's perspective.

The focus is now on critical infrastructure – Power Metallic Mines delivers dream results, SAP and Oracle test the rebound
Every day, a flood of news hits the capital markets. The focus is on international crises, which in turn have major implications for national economies. Areas with large fossil fuel reserves are coming to the fore, and for months now, scenarios of critical metal shortages have been discussed and reassessed accordingly. High-tech and AI stocks thrive on a steady influx of computing power and are dependent on the promised expansion of the electrical infrastructure. This requires a variety of raw materials from the metal sector. Power Metallic Mines has positioned itself perfectly in the current situation with its NISK project, while Oracle and SAP are driven by their cloud and data models, which are falling out of favor due to AI. It remains to be seen whether a revival in earnings can take place in line with analysts' estimates. It is not easy to convince people, so we are analyzing the accompanying circumstances.

Nuclear power comeback in the EU! Solid returns with American Atomics, Amazon, and E.ON
Since the EU nuclear summit in Paris a few days ago, it has become clear that nuclear energy is once again socially acceptable in Europe. At the meeting, the European Commission described the former move away from nuclear power as a strategic mistake and launched a comprehensive offensive for small modular reactors (SMRs). According to the EU strategy, an SMR capacity of up to 53 GW is to be built up by 2050 in order to reduce the persistently high electricity prices and stop the impending exodus of industry. At the same time, a new factor is driving global electricity demand: artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the share of nuclear and renewable energy in the global electricity mix will rise to 50% by 2030. Tech giants such as Amazon increasingly want to satisfy the energy hunger of AI data centers themselves. E.ON is also likely to benefit from this historic strategic shift by operating stable grids. However, at the source of the new boom is the up-and-coming exploration company American Atomics, which is searching for urgently needed uranium and closing a strategic gap in the supply chain. We highlight where investors can find the most attractive opportunities.

US President Trump and the AI hyperscalers! Siemens Energy, Nordex, and Stallion Uranium shares in focus
Major AI companies in the US are taking on greater responsibility for the energy supply of their data centers. At a recent meeting with President Donald Trump, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and others agreed that the boom should not come at the expense of private households. Siemens Energy is currently benefiting greatly from this. Gas-fired power plants are currently the preferred solution for hyperscalers when it comes to power supply. At the same time, they are all relying on nuclear energy. The required uranium is expected to come primarily from North America. This makes Stallion Uranium shares interesting for investors. A steady stream of news could support the stock this year. At Nordex, the tailwind is currently subsiding. At least the shares appear to be consolidating. Analysts are full of praise, and operations are running smoothly.

Crash at Plug Power?! SFC Energy and AI profiteer American Atomics are looking strong!
What is going on with Plug Power? A sell-off quickly followed the sharp recovery. The hydrogen specialist's figures were initially celebrated - but is there really a reason for this? Cash flow remains deep in the red. If the announced break-even point is actually to be reached, at least one major capital increase will be required before then. In contrast, there are solid reasons for rising prices at American Atomics. The AI boom is driving demand for uranium, the company is currently exploring an exciting area in the US state of Utah, the US government is strongly supporting the sector, and the stock does not appear expensive. The founder recently made a convincing impression at an investor conference. Meanwhile, SFC Energy's outlook has impressed analysts at First Berlin, with both the price target and the share price on the rise.

Iran war and skyrocketing oil prices! Are there any winners at all? Infineon, First Hydrogen, and Aixtron in focus
Tensions in Iran have escalated rapidly, with military actions unfolding over a seven-day period. For the international community and struggling economies, a sustained 20% increase in oil prices means a sharp decline in economic growth and a huge surge in inflation on store shelves due to downstream inflationary effects. Consumers will not fall into a new buying frenzy in times of war, but will keep their wallets closed. Stock market traders need to think beyond short-term reactions. The real opportunities may now lie in companies that have struggled in recent days or emerging stocks with strong long-term prospects. Which names are positioned to recover fastest once the crisis stabilizes?

Hydrogen madness 2.0: Plug Power soars – Could Nel ASA and First Hydrogen follow? Robotics joins the race!
As history shows, those written off often survive longest. On Tuesday, the stock market delivered a dramatic reminder: Plug Power, the US hydrogen pioneer, staged a remarkable comeback. After what felt like an eternity in the "valley of tears" (an experience usually reserved for solar stocks in winter when the sun hardly shines), the shares of US pioneer Plug Power shot up by double digits, shaking off the doldrums and potentially waking the entire hydrogen sector. Investors are now rightly wondering whether this is the long-awaited starting signal for a new, massive rally in the clean energy sector. While the Americans are impressing with bare figures, other players are already positioning themselves with strategies that go far beyond simple fuel cell propulsion. Canadian newcomer First Hydrogen is causing a stir with its strategy. Scandinavian giant Nel ASA is also waiting in the wings, just waiting to be swept up in the new wave of euphoria. In this report, we analyze why the cards are being completely reshuffled in the hydrogen sector and whether we are on the verge of a historic turning point. There is a sense of optimism in the air, with new technologies and a profit opportunity that many had already written off. Read on, because the momentum we are currently experiencing could keep the markets on tenterhooks for the rest of the year.
