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.

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.

Snow chaos and climate madness, who is playing in the Premier League of the energy transition? Nel ASA, Power Nickel and Plug Power under the microscope
Snow chaos and new record highs. While the DAX 40 demonstrates itself as the world's best blue-chip index, the German economy is currently navigating downward. It is not the earnings outlook that is presently driving share prices but the hope of lower interest rates. Meanwhile, the endless climate debates in Dubai continue. Among realists, however, there must be fears that the local oil lobby will not let a German know-it-all put a stop to the lavish margins with fossil fuels. There will, at least, be a friendly Arab nod to the 2050 climate goals and exclusive indulgence for the high-ranking German delegation. Whether this justifies federal expenditure of more than EUR 50 million is something we will leave uncommented. More important is a look at the top titles of the upcoming energy transition - where is the next 100 percenter lurking?

Attention: New battery technology in demand! Freyr Battery, Manuka Resources, Varta and IBU-tec in focus
Despite all ecological reservations, the electrified future is advancing. In an effort to combat climate change, politicians have decided on the complete electrification of the future. The plan to entirely displace fossil fuels will lead many countries into a new economic dimension that will outperform conventional economies for a long time. However, a beautiful, new world must be economically affordable. This requires significant technological advancement and a tremendous amount of money for the transformation; ideological thinking helps little in this regard. Central Europe, in particular, is an importer of raw materials and energy and is a long way from setting world-changing parameters. However, since everything has already been decided in Berlin, millions of batteries and stationary energy storage systems are now needed for the green transformation. The key here is access to the critical metals of the future. These strategic decisions are being evaluated in the stock market. It is worth doing the math.

There is clearly room for improvement here - Volkswagen, Globex Mining, Siemens Energy
After the corrections of recent weeks, the bulls have regained the sceptre. Despite the uncertain geopolitical situation and supported by an easing interest rate front, technology stocks were also able to recover significantly from their recent lows for the year. In addition, Germany's leading index, the DAX, knocked on the psychologically important 16,000-point mark. Overcoming this level will likely result in an attack on the all-time high at 16,532 points still within this stock market year.

Green Energy in Focus - Varta, Siemens Energy, Power Nickel and Nordex - Find the next 100% gainer now!
That was a significant turnaround. While the DAX 40 index stood at 14,650 points at the end of October, it started its year-end rally at the beginning of November. On Friday, the index even broke back above the crucial 15,300 mark. There are now technical resistances to watch for upward movement. In the Greentech sector, there was good news from the corporate side: Varta is optimistic about the next quarter, and Siemens Energy is up 40% in 5 trading days. The Power Nickel share has been strong all year, and what about Nordex? All these stocks have the potential for a 100% gain – the question is, which one will take off first?

BMW celebrates battery technology, BYD is coming to Europe, and Power Nickel offers a 100% opportunity!
News from the world of electromobility: BYD is putting pressure on European car manufacturers and wants to start production in Europe soon. But where? Saarlouis seems to be losing the competition for the first Chinese location in Europe. There are new indications of this. BMW, on the other hand, is celebrating its new battery technology, aiming to achieve more range than Tesla while significantly reducing costs. But what do analysts have to say about the Munich-based automotive group's shares? Experts see over 100% upside potential for Power Nickel shares. The Company is developing a high-grade nickel project in Canada and plans to produce it in a climate-friendly way. Will the new resource estimate boost the share price?

Lithium: The million-ton question! BASF, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium, Varta - The Top List for 2024
Lithium-ion batteries are the most widely used battery type for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage. Estimates vary widely, but by 2025, we will need between 500,000 and 850,000 thousand tons of lithium, but in 2022 only 130,000 tons were produced. Against the backdrop of continued high global demand for e-vehicles, many high-performance batteries will be needed. Four gigafactories are currently being built in Europe, and the demand seems enormous. Each auto manufacturer has its own sourcing strategy, but there is currently a problem on the supply side because not every raw material is easy to obtain. Lithium is one of the most essential raw material components of a battery, along with nickel, cobalt, graphite and copper. Prices across the battery segment are under pressure due to the approaching economic downturn. What should investors look out for now?
