After thyssenkrupp, Ballard Power's share price is now exploding! Is First Phosphate next?
The Ballard Power share has made a strong comeback. On the back of a major order, it rose by 13%. Is there more to come? It seems that way for the First Phosphate share. The price decline of the past few weeks offers an attractive entry opportunity. The Canadians have reported on the current development of their phosphate activities. High revenues are expected from the investments, and the impact of US tariffs should be manageable. In any case, management is buying the stock. Investors have been snapping up thyssenkrupp shares in a big way this year. The price has doubled in a few weeks. Will it continue?

BYD, First Phosphate, AppLovin – Unstoppable
After the numbers season reached its peak last week, the US stock markets remained closed due to Presidents' Day, which is celebrated every year on the third Monday in February and honors the Presidents of the United States, particularly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Nevertheless, the markets were in turmoil, partly due to US Vice President J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. The Ukrainian index continued to rise on the back of expected peace talks between the US and Russia, while the DAX continued its record streak, surpassing 22,700 points.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen, BYD – The automotive industry is in a flurry again
Donald Trump is wasting no time. On the day of his swearing-in, he signed several decrees and explicitly mentioned higher tariffs in his inaugural address. The new External Revenue Service will be responsible for working out exactly what these will look like. Trump wants to close the loopholes, such as imports via Mexico, in order to protect and strengthen his own economy. This is a disaster for the European automotive industry in particular because, after the difficulties in China, there is a risk of further losses in the second-largest sales market. In addition, vehicle manufacturers need more powerful batteries in their electric vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are becoming more and more popular for this purpose. However, there is a bottleneck here as well. We take a closer look at the automotive market.

Bloom Energy, Altech Advanced Materials, FuelCell Energy – Extreme jumps
After the stock market celebrated the quick end of the US elections, a sense of realism returned to the market. The technology exchange Nasdaq, in particular, was hit hard on the last trading day of the week, falling by almost 2.5%. In general, volatility increased significantly in the past trading week. The reason for this lies in the rising yields on US government bonds. A previously priced-in interest rate cut is now once again uncertain.

Traffic light madness! The turnaround at BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Nordex and Siemens Energy
The traffic light coalition departs – and the economy breathes a sigh of relief. Key future topics such as the energy transition, e-mobility and the energy storage market now have good prospects. With a redefinition of industrial policy in Germany, confidence is returning to small and medium-sized companies. With a constant stream of new regulations, high energy costs and excessive bureaucracy, the failed coalition had many things in mind – but not the economic well-being of Germany. A murmur is going through the fragile industrial complexes with the announced new election. We expect a surge of innovative ideas, especially in the areas of energy security and mobility. Check your portfolio!

Soaring share prices, battery revolution, sales record! BYD, Plug Power and Altech Advanced Materials shares!
Altech Advanced Materials is getting ever closer to the battery revolution. And it is all happening in Germany! The prototype of their revolutionary solid-state battery is operational, and there is an initial declaration of intent in the three-digit million-euro range. The Company is valued at around EUR 25 million, providing solid reasons for a potential rapid 50% price increase. Meanwhile, Plug Power's stock has shot up a good 20% since Friday. Is this just a blip, or is there more to it for the former hydrogen high-flyer? In any case, Plug shareholders should be cautious next week. There is also a lot to be said for rising prices at BYD. The Chinese electric carmaker is in a thrilling race with Tesla for industry leadership, and analysts are forecasting over a 20% upside potential.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, JinkoSolar – Better batteries are key to a green revolution
Batteries are essential to the future of electrification. However, both technologies need to be improved in terms of performance and safety. EV batteries require higher energy density for better range and lighter weight, with technologies such as solid-state batteries that could reduce the risk of overheating and fire. On the energy storage side, long-lasting, environmentally friendly solutions are needed to balance out fluctuations in renewable energies and ensure grid stability. Innovative approaches in both areas are crucial to making e-mobility sustainable, high-performance, and safe.

DAX 20,000 - Breakout to Mega Bull Market, Enter Strategically Now: BYD, NIO, Almonty Industries, ASML and SMCI
This week could be the week. Just 2.5% separates the DAX-40 index from the magical 20,000-point mark. High-tech remains in demand, and last week, for the first time in months, automotive stocks also rose again. The Paris Motor Show closed its doors yesterday, and the result is clear: China dominated the exhibition with its new releases, showcasing innovation. And to the great chagrin of the EU, with prices on average 27% lower. At least the import duties were set in October, but the battle for the consumer has yet to be fought. Because Chinese vehicles are not only considerably cheaper, they have long since caught up with local manufacturers in terms of technology, features and design. Where are the opportunities for shareholders?

JinkoSolar, Altech Advanced Materials, Nio – The comeback of renewable energies
With its announcement of plans to revive the struggling economy in the Middle Kingdom, the Chinese government triggered a stock market rally that has been unmatched for over 15 years. In addition to technology stocks, companies in the renewable energy sector, in particular, rose to the top of the stock lists despite future additional tariffs on electric vehicles produced in China by the European Union. The EU Commission aims to boost domestic production. In terms of energy storage, a company "Made in Germany" could cause a stir in the future.
