ThyssenKrupp, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall - Good buying opportunities
Today, we are looking at three companies that offer good buying opportunities. For ThyssenKrupp, the recent positive news was that the unions are not demanding a 4-day workweek for the time being. Almonty Industries is benefiting from the fact that tungsten is being used in more and more new technologies. This includes the rising demand for tungsten in electric vehicle batteries. Rheinmetall could be an interesting buy candidate after the setback. Read the article to find out where the strengths of the three candidates lie.

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. The Nel share, in particular, has been hit hard. In local currency, it is trading at its lowest level since the beginning of 2020. Is there hope for a rebound? Or are investors better off betting on battery newcomers like FREYR Battery or Altech Advanced Materials? In terms of share price, Germany's Altech has been the best performer this year, and at the recent Capital Markets Day, management expressed confidence that it would soon take the battery market by storm. So, what is the current status of hopes for hydrogen and batteries?

Mega battery deal at First Phosphate, BASF, VW and BYD with buy signals
The last IAA in Munich was a memorable showdown for the local automotive industry. More than 750 exhibitors from 109 countries showcased their e-mobility innovations. In addition to autonomous driving with AI support and various new technical features, however, one topic in particular preoccupied trade visitors: how can manufacturers get more power, longevity and safety into powertrain batteries? Li-ion technology has now been in use for over 20 years. But where is the future state of the art? BASF and First Phosphate have new developments to offer in this regard. Manufacturers like BYD and Volkswagen have the global market shares to make these innovations fly. Where should investing be done now?

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.

Nikola, Saturn Oil + Gas, BASF - A Buy in difficult times?
These are challenging times on the stock market. Central banks have not announced the end of interest rate hikes, which is poison for growth companies. In addition, extreme weather conditions are affecting the production of some companies, and there are geopolitical tensions to consider, including the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the simmering dispute between the US and China. Recently, there have also been tensions between China and Germany. Following critical statements by Foreign Minister Baerbock to China's Xi Jinping, the German ambassador was summoned. Energy shortages are becoming increasingly significant for many companies in Germany. Today, we look at three companies suffering from the problems described.

dynaCERT, Amazon, FREYR Battery - Those who are focused on CO2 reduction and successful at it
At the Fleet Services Expo in Ottawa, dynaCERT will showcase its "Hydrogen-on-Demand" technology. For the first time, dynaCERT is demonstrating its fully functional HydraGEN™ technology on a company-owned Mercedes Sprinter Van, providing environmentally friendly hydrogen power to fleet vehicles in Ontario. This innovative solution reduces CO2 emissions and also lowers operating costs. On the other hand, as the upcoming seasonal business approaches, Amazon is increasing its workforce, most of whom use non-CO2-reducing vehicles to make deliveries in the US. A renowned institute has, therefore, removed Amazon from the CO2 index. Meanwhile, the Norwegian battery manufacturer FREYR Battery is moving to the US. The Company has filed its documents for incorporation in Delaware and sees a lot of benefits for business expansion and shareholders with its US location.

Turnaround cancelled? Where 100% is possible: Varta, BYD, Manuka Resources
When soccer players move to a better team, it usually comes with higher earnings. Sometimes, the training is more intense, and the tasks off the pitch are more extensive. It is no longer comparable to the idyllic life at their former club. Athletes are then faced with the question, "Give up or bite the bullet?" The situation is similar for battery pioneer Varta, which is implementing its e-car plans with Porsche, of all companies. The sports car manufacturer offers major growth opportunities but is also considered meticulous among engineers. We highlight Varta's stock, take a look at BYD and outline opportunities at a company many have never heard of!

ExxonMobil, First Phosphate, Shell - The fight against black gold
In order to combat climate change, politicians and industry are focusing on moving away from coal, oil and gas as quickly as possible. Burning fossil fuels, whether for electricity or in car engines, releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gas and is the primary driver of global warming. But the reality is different. Oil prices continue to rise, and multinationals are reaping record profits. Now, however, a lawsuit from the US could reverse the trend.

Hydrogen on sale! Here is the alternative: BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF, Volkswagen
While the IAA Mobility ended with satisfied faces, it did not bring good vibes to local automotive stocks. More than 500,000 visitors attended to be convinced of innovations for a climate-friendly future. Half of the 750 exhibitors came from abroad, and 109 nations were represented. However, those who went with the expectation of finding major breakthroughs were disappointed. The familiar lithium-ion battery still dominates with over 95% usage. Industrially viable alternatives, however, are already in the development stage. Those who think ahead are opting for modern battery concepts.
