BioNTech a Takeover Target? What's Happening at CHAR Technologies and Steyr Motors?

  • cleantech

  • Biotechnology
  • Automotive

A cleantech growth story with takeover potential is currently available for only around CAD 35 million. CHAR Technologies is benefiting from rising oil and gas prices thanks to its technology. If the stock fails to move higher, a strategic partner could step in. Is BioNTech a takeover candidate? Until last week, the answer would likely have been a clear no. But since the announcement that the founders are stepping down, almost anything seems possible. And there is another factor in its favor. To avoid being swallowed by a major defense contractor, Steyr Motors aims to grow aggressively - both organically and through acquisitions. Analysts believe the company could double its revenue and recommend buying the stock.

Is Gold Headed for USD 10,000 as a Survival Strategy? Caution Advised for TUI, Lufthansa, DRC Gold, and Porsche

What do Ed Yardeni, Chris Wood, and Thomas Kaplan have in common? In recent months, all three have mentioned a USD 10,000 price target for gold. Mr. Yardeni, founder of Yardeni Research, sees a global debasement of currencies and believes this target could be reached between 2028 and 2029. Chris Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at the research firm Jefferies, considers a five-digit valuation for the yellow metal possible within about five years. His reasoning includes a structural bull market, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing central bank purchases. Finally, Thomas Kaplan of the Electrum Group also regards this target as realistic if gold is rediscovered as a monetary reserve. All of these arguments are understandable, though whether such a scenario will actually materialize remains uncertain. However, many of the factors cited are already evident today. We therefore look beyond the immediate horizon, broadening our view to include tourism and luxury goods - sectors that currently stand somewhat in the shadow of surging gold prices, yet remain no less interesting.

Dividend hunters take note! 10% with RE Royalties, dividend surprise at BMW, will Mutares now follow suit?

Dividends or growth? But why choose when you can have both? There are actually companies that deliver both. One example is RE Royalties, a Canadian specialist financier for renewable energy projects. Investors can expect a dividend yield of around 10%, combined with additional price potential for the moderately valued stock. Mutares could soon deliver a dividend surprise, which would also give the shares a new boost. Despite the challenging industry situation, auto manufacturer BMW is shining with a yield of over 5%.

High volatility, electrifying opportunities! Stellantis, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield on the move

A drop of 1,000 points in the DAX, now that is quite something. It is not surprising that some stocks are no longer stable, but it also shows the relative stability compared to larger volatility swings. Experts refer to this relative market risk as the beta factor. The lower this value, the more stable the stock. In a vulnerable environment of geopolitical upheaval, the impact of operational announcements is also noteworthy. Stellantis, for example, took a 25% hit on less-than-good news of a restructuring, while DroneShield is seeing strong gains due to a collaboration with the Australian Department of Defense. NEO Battery Materials is making steady progress in measurable and scalable ways, and capacities are now being adjusted to handle potential defense orders in the medium term. Extremely exciting!

DroneShield shares explode! Steyr Motors and CHAR Technologies benefit from acquisitions and optimism!

DroneShield's share price has skyrocketed. After a weekend with images of drones over Dubai, Qatar, and other major cities, investors rushed to buy DroneShield shares. The specialist in drone defense had already reported European orders last week, pushing the share up by 20%. Yesterday, the rally continued. DroneShield demonstrates that it is not always the market leaders who make the biggest gains. There are also compelling second-tier companies that can become outperformers. Steyr Motors catapulted itself onto investors' radar in the defense sector in 2025, and now the first acquisitions are being made to accelerate growth. CHAR Technologies could be among the outperformers in 2026. At a recent investor conference, the CEO provided solid reasons for significantly higher share prices. If the company succeeds in commercializing its technology, the stock currently appears undervalued.

IPO and takeover speculation at Steyr Motors, TeamViewer, and Pure One! Share price set to skyrocket?!

IPO and takeover speculation are important drivers of share prices. At Pure One, there is reason to believe that the share price will jump in the short term. Namely, the IPO of its subsidiary Eastern Gas. The gas exploration company has production rights in Australia, where there are currently problems with gas supply. It is therefore not surprising that the IPO is attracting a lot of interest. Pure One's core business is also interesting. TeamViewer was long considered an attractive takeover candidate. However, this topic has quietened down. Instead, the software company is now considered a big AI loser. Is this justified? Steyr Motors has undergone a spectacular revaluation in 2025. The stock market has high expectations for revenue and earnings growth. To meet these expectations, the supplier of special engines is laying a new foundation.

Europe steps on the gas! E-mobility and secure supply chains - Avrupa Minerals, BYD, VW, and Stellantis

The stock market year has gotten off to a turbulent start, but a new megatrend is gaining traction: critical metals! While 2025 was dominated by AI and high-tech stocks, raw material suppliers, essential for maintaining industrial competitiveness, are increasingly moving into focus. Over the past 12 months, they have been able to offer investors dream returns in the three- to four-digit range. At the same time, there has been hardly any growth on the NASDAQ since the beginning of the year. Former high-flyers like Palantir, Nvidia, and Strategy are currently trading below their 2025 highs. International commodity stocks dealing with the issue of "Western supply chains" have now moved up the list of top performers. Without strategic metals, the secure production of electrical infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and defense technology is not possible. It is therefore worthwhile for investors to rethink their tech portfolios and add good commodity stocks to their watch lists. Meanwhile, the automotive sector, under pressure for months, could be stabilizing after the sobering results of 2025. We take a closer look at the key players.

Things are set to take off in 2026! Steyr Motors, TeamViewer, and dynaCERT in focus!

TeamViewer is heading downward in 2026. The software company's shares are trading at an all-time low and are threatening to slip below the EUR 5 mark. So is now the time to get in? In contrast, dynaCERT shares could be on the verge of multiplying in value. However, that would require an operational breakthrough. According to the company's outlook for 2026, this scenario appears entirely possible, as is a revaluation. Steyr Motors shares underwent a revaluation last year. This needs to be underpinned by significantly higher revenue and profits in the current year. Analysts remain bullish on the defense stock.

These stocks continue to rise: Almonty Industries, RENK, and Steyr Motors. Do not miss out!

The pause near Almonty Industries' all-time high is likely to prove very short-lived. The arguments in favor of buying the stock are too strong. Several analysts have recently raised their price targets. As one of the world's largest producers of the critical raw material tungsten, the company has geopolitical weight, which is increasing in light of initiatives such as those by the US government to build up strategic reserves of rare earths and other critical raw materials. Several analysts have recently been promoting the two defense stocks RENK and Steyr Motors. Who has the edge?

Stellantis Slumps, BYD Holds Steady, Power Metallic Mines Poised to Soar!

The stock market is not a one-way street. While BYD has established itself as one of the world's largest manufacturers of electric vehicles, Stellantis has had to admit to misjudgments that will lead to write-downs exceeding its current market value. This recently shocked the stock market. By contrast, the outlook for Power Metallic Mines is bright. The Canadians have one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. This asset is valuable to many industrial groups. In times of building strategic reserves of critical raw materials, the company should attract more attention. Well-known investors have already jumped on board, and analysts attest to the stock's potential to double in value.
