Transformation in full swing: Altech, Volkswagen, and Bayer focus on new technologies and markets
Shortly after the grandiose Olympic opening ceremony, Paris showed us what it means to sit in the dark. One day after the opening ceremony, the inhabitants of the Seine were hit by a power outage. Speculation as to the cause ranges from a cyber attack to sabotage, similar to the recent arson attacks on the French rail network. But one thing is certain, it shows how fragile the power supply currently is. This is reason enough for Altech Advanced Materials to press ahead with the development of its stationary solid-state battery. A type of local battery power plant ensures a stable power supply, even with fluctuations in the grid due to wind and solar energy. The German company has another profitable development up its sleeve for the EV market. Volkswagen continues to focus on its electric vehicles and can look forward to increased sales in China. Nevertheless, the Wolfsburg-based company must make considerable savings to remain profitable. The results of the first half of the year provide deep insights. Additionally, for 27 million women in the US, ones battery can be figuratively "empty" at times. Fatigue, hot flashes, and nervousness are classic symptoms of menopause. 27 million is the market size of menopausal women that Bayer AG now aims to capture with a very special medication...

Averting power outages, starting the battery revolution! BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD, and VW
Varta is undergoing a complete restructuring and reorganization, likely leaving legacy shareholders empty-handed. The back and forth since 2023 has given the German SME sector an increasingly unsettling look. The environment is challenging, and only the strongest will survive the looming storm. Traces of Habeck's poor planning can also be seen in the energy transition. Instead of fully utilizing renewable energies, six new gas-fired power plants are now being planned, which will, of course, be powered by hydrogen. This draws investors' attention back to battery storage systems, as they are needed to successfully store surplus energy. Where do the opportunities lie for resourceful investors?

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen - Anti-cyclical share price gains
In recent weeks, vehicle manufacturers have been bombarded with negative news. In addition to the introduction of punitive tariffs by the European Union on the Chinese electric vehicle industry, the German flagship Volkswagen came around the corner with a sharp profit warning. However, those expecting severe share price losses were caught off guard. This is a strong sign of an end to the correction and a possible trend reversal.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes-Benz - Electromobility is being driven forward despite all the prophecies of doom
Electromobility is becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of climate change and sustainability. Electric drives offer a clean, efficient alternative to combustion engines and reduce CO₂ emissions. Consumers and investors are showing increasing interest in this technology. Key companies such as the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, which specializes in innovative battery materials, and Mercedes-Benz, with its EQ series in the premium segment, are leading the way and significantly shaping the dynamic electromobility market. This is reason enough to take a closer look at these three stocks.

Varta, Royal Helium, and Lufthansa with significant catch-up potential
After the corrections in recent weeks, the leading German index DAX celebrated a comeback with a weekly gain of around 2%. After a long period of suffering, Lufthansa AG's stock was one of the shooting stars. With a price loss of over 55% since the beginning of the year alone, hopes of a comeback for the Varta share have also been raised following a recent report. However, the rebound of the helium company Royal Helium, which has just completed its transition from explorer to industrial gas company, may have the greatest potential.

IPOs, Takeovers and Mergers - Here we go again! Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Nel ASA, and Cavendish
Every day, new records on the NASDAQ make investors' dreams come true, but at the end of last week, there were the first signs of a correction, with top stock Nvidia losing 10% from its peak. This is a minor setback after a rise of almost 100% since mid-April. The IPO market is also picking up again as newcomers want to seize the opportunity. The Norwegian hydrogen pioneer Nel ASA successfully floated its filling station subsidiary on the stock exchange. This creates more transparency within the Company and fills the coffers. While Varta has issued another revenue warning, Altech Advanced Materials is launching its new battery technologies. In terms of achievements, "Made in Germany" is still "top", but the right stock selection remains the trump card.

BYD has to pay punitive tariffs - How will this affect Altech Advanced Materials and Volkswagen?
In the midst of turbulent trade disputes, the situation in the global electric vehicle market is coming to a head. The EU has announced punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from July 4, and manufacturers such as BYD, Geely, and SAIC are therefore in the spotlight. The EU Commission accuses the Chinese vehicle manufacturers of benefiting from state subsidies, thus entering the European market with a competitive advantage. The level of duties depends on the manufacturers' willingness to cooperate with the investigations. Duties can range between 17.4% and 38.1%. The planned measures are shaking up the industry and further escalating the trade conflicts with China. German vehicle manufacturers fear retaliatory measures.

After the election, buy a combustion engine now? Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Globex Mining and BYD on the test track
The crushing defeat of the green camp in the EU elections has caused a stir in the automotive industry. Will the ban on combustion engines be overturned in favour of a general openness to technology? It is well known that the best conventional vehicles come from Germany, and they are demonstrably no more harmful to the climate than current e-vehicles. Voters have finally lifted the green veil, and the doctrine of the know-it-alls is now in retreat. From a climate perspective, investing in battery storage systems makes sense, but they do not necessarily have to be installed in vehicles. How can investors benefit from the current situation?

Shock at Plug Power! Thyssenkrupp Nucera and Altech Advanced Materials with up to 100% upside potential!
Alarm at Plug Power. After the price jump in May, the share has gone into reverse again and lost 10% of its value in just a few days. Financing worth billions for the struggling hydrogen pioneer is uncertain, bringing the Company's potential insolvency back into the focus of investors. German hydrogen hopeful Thyssenkrupp Nucera received positive analyst comments. Could the share perhaps even double in value? And what is Altech Advanced Materials doing? The shares of the German battery hopeful have bottomed out and may offer an entry opportunity. The market potential for Altech is huge.

Bloom Energy, Altech Advanced Materials, JinkoSolar - Renewables are booming again
The hype that began at the start of the decade was followed by disillusionment and drastic share price losses. Over the past three years, renewable energy companies such as Plug Power, Nel ASA & Co. have lost disproportionately to the broader market. For some months now, however, many share prices have been showing signs of bottoming out, which could herald the next upward movement. There is no question that hydrogen, photovoltaics, and wind energy technologies will be further expanded in the future.
