Attention, take advantage of the sell-off now! Bombed-out prices at JinkoSolar, SolarEdge, Manuka Resources and BYD!
This has not happened for a long time: Lower prices among the "Who's Who" of international technology stocks. Investors who had bet on the endless upswing of well-known growth stocks have taken a beating in the last 6 weeks. But not every fallen angel is excessively overvalued! In times of high volatility and rising interest rates, it pays to take a clear look at robust business models. And as we all know, these are to be found among the market leaders. We welcome the necessary price corrections because they present better opportunities for prudent investors. However, the stock market must now compete with a safe EU bond yield of just under 4%. The risk capital for equities is, therefore, no longer as abundant due to attractive fixed-income alternatives. We assess the opportunities for a few selected stocks.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, Dürr - Using the setback as an opportunity
The past stock market week will certainly not go down in history as the most glorious. In addition to the widening conflict in the Gaza Strip, the current reporting season for the third quarter also brought rather negative surprises. For example, the DAX, Germany's leading index, lost more than 4% of its value in 5 trading days alone and slipped below the psychologically important 15,000-point mark. Nevertheless, analysts are optimistic about further developments.

Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, FREYR Battery - Who offers the greatest growth potential?
Demand for rare earths is rising relentlessly, especially in sectors such as electromobility, renewable energies and agribusiness. Defense Metals, a Canadian explorer company, plays a key role in these industries. Through their Wicheeda rare earths project, they have the potential to become a leading producer of raw materials, which is particularly valuable given geopolitical tensions and the need for secure raw material suppliers. Rheinmetall wins an important electromobility order worth millions. Their specially designed heat pump for electric tractors is revolutionizing temperature control in modern commercial vehicles. FREYR Battery has successfully produced Norway's first lithium iron phosphate battery cell. They are also strengthening regional supply chains to establish a permanent presence in North America in the long term. Discover where the greatest growth potential lies now.

Varta, First Phosphate, Volkswagen AG - Great opportunities in bombed-out sectors
The current environment with a weak economy, fears of recession and continued high inflation is causing problems for capital-intensive companies in the renewable energy sector. Even the raw materials required for this sector have significantly deviated from their all-time highs achieved in 2021. However, there is no question that the future belongs to this sector. More important than ever for investors, however, is active stock picking.

Battery vs. hydrogen! Buy Nel ASA now? Or is FREYR Battery or Altech Advanced Materials better?
Should investors bet on battery stocks over hydrogen stocks? At least when looking at investor darlings like Nel and Plug Power, the answer to this question seems to be "yes" at the moment.

First Phosphate, Volkswagen, Varta - Battle for battery raw materials picks up speed
The global demand for electric vehicles is steadily increasing, driving the need for battery raw materials. However, the battle for these coveted raw materials has political consequences, particularly concerning the strained relations between the US and China. The US has recognized that it is heavily dependent on China for access to key battery raw materials, which has led to tensions between the two countries. The US is working to reduce these dependencies. This is reason enough to examine three companies that rely on battery raw materials.
