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.

Energy transition with the battery revolution! BASF, Altech Advanced Materials, Siemens Energy and BYD
And once again, Nvidia! The NASDAQ continues to set the pace. In addition to good figures from the corporate sector, hopes of an imminent interest rate cut are currently providing a boost. This should happen as early as June. Despite persistent inflation figures, the financial community believes that the Fed should prevent or at least mitigate the impending downturn in the US economy by making loans cheaper. This is grist to the mill of the long-term bulls in the tech sector. As a result, the NDX reached a new all-time high and only just missed the next thousand mark at 18,996 points. Commodities, especially battery metals, are now also bullish. This is shifting the focus of potential alternative technologies for the lithium-ion standard. Which stocks in this sector are attracting attention?

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - who can benefit from China's rise
Chinese companies such as BYD benefit from state subsidies and domestic access to raw materials. BYD's subsidies have risen from EUR 220 million in just three years to EUR 2.1 billion. These sums are helping BYD dominate the Chinese electric vehicle market and increasingly penetrate the European market. Volkswagen cannot escape the pull of China either. As part of its "In China, for China" strategy, Volkswagen is expanding its cooperation network with Chinese partners. The aim is to reduce costs significantly in the development of EV technology. For companies like Altech Advanced Materials, close cooperation with Chinese market leaders such as BYD and Volkswagen offers the opportunity to commercialize innovative battery technologies that meet the needs of the changing market. One of these innovations, made in Germany by Altech Advanced Materials, increases the longevity of EV batteries by 30%. Here are the details.

HelloFresh about to be taken over? Bayer for the anti-cyclical investor! Altech Advanced Materials convinces: Opportunities with turnaround stocks!
Bayer shares gained around 7% last week. Is this the turnaround after the stock reached a multi-year low? The Altech Advanced Materials share is also working on an upward trend. The German battery hopeful has published a promising feasibility study. Their stationary storage systems are significantly more profitable than, for example, Tesla's MegaPacks. HelloFresh shareholders have been brought back to reality in recent weeks. After a decline of almost 80% in 6 months, is the share now ripe for a turnaround? Could there even be a takeover?

Bitcoin and Stromer need the energy transition! BYD, Edison Lithium, Nikola - Is it time to buy low?
Despite recent declines in electric mobility, the development of traction batteries is breaking new ground. Sodium is under discussion to replace toxic lithium. The new technologies also mean that cobalt and nickel are no longer required. Former lithium companies are changing their business models, but the raw material will still be urgently needed for at least another decade. We are looking at a market that is about to change course. Where do the opportunities lie for agile investors?

Altech Advanced Materials, Tesla, E.ON - Accelerators of the Future in Europe
Germany's automotive industry is in a state of upheaval. With an annual turnover of EUR 411 billion, solutions are urgently needed to drive electrification forward. E.ON, as one of the largest utilities, is investing billions in European infrastructure for this purpose. The Company is also increasing its dividend. Heidelberg-based Altech Advanced Materials is launching stationary battery storage systems on the market at the beginning of April. It has also published the results of the current feasibility study for its second pillar: a special coating for silicon battery anodes that ensures greater power and longevity. These are exactly the sticking points that customers have been complaining about so far. Tesla also relies on silicon batteries in its models. This week, Elon Musk visited the German plant in Grünheide, and has some good news in store...
