Tariffs and Markets – Where investors should strike now with Power Metallic Mines, Steyr, and Vonovia
The new US tariffs on cars and goods have become a reality this week, and the markets are reacting with uncertainty: Companies like Power Metallic Mines, Steyr Motors, and Vonovia are in focus – their share prices are responding differently. This moment offers opportunities for investors. The Canadian junior explorer Power Metallic Mines offers long-term investors an exciting field of copper, gold, and valuable battery metals. Steyr Motors shines as a stable growth stock with a EUR 200 million order backlog in the defense sector, despite a price scandal. Vonovia attracts those seeking stability with a 4.2% dividend yield. However, the real estate crisis continues to erode the Company's fundamentals. Market sentiment is tense. The tariffs are testing the resilience of these companies – how they react could set the tone for the coming weeks.

BYD, European Lithium, Lufthansa – It is high time to act
For the first time in history, the German leading index DAX was able to surpass the magic mark of 23,000 points last week, thanks to the possible new Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the sudden lifting of the debt brake. However, the problems remain. Since the start of Donald Trump's second term in office, the global economic order has been in jeopardy. Trade wars and punitive tariffs are on the agenda. Europe must be able to act independently of its big brother in the future, both in terms of security and the supply of raw materials.

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.

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.

Better than Plug Power? Stocks of Siemens Energy and Altech Advanced Materials are taking off!
Are there new stars in the energy transition? Plug Power and Nel have likely squandered their status in recent years. Both companies are unable to get a grip on their losses, and growth is weakening. Now, Plug Power is trying a new approach. In contrast, Altech Advanced Materials is just getting started. The stock of the German battery hopeful gained 20% in the past week alone. The reason: the marketing of the revolutionary solid-state battery is picking up speed. The Altech battery is expected to solve a critical problem for renewable energy and holds billion-dollar potential. After the strong performance in the current year, does the Siemens Energy share still have potential? Will it reach a new annual high with its old CEO?

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.
