Running out of fuel? BYD, Porsche, VW, Globex Mining - Metals in demand!
In benchmarking, anyone who sees electromobility at the forefront cannot ignore a powerful battery. In the last 3 years, there have been no real leaps forward in development, but at least power compression in lithium-ion technology achieved a doubling of the range and, in parallel, also lowered the previously long charging times. This made an electric vehicle suitable for long-distance travel for the first time, even though faster discharge must be expected in winter due to non-engine services such as heating. But technological development continues, and BYD, as one of the world market leaders, sets technological standards. Which stocks are the favourites in the sector?

Raw materials revolution from Africa: K+S, Globex Mining, Freyr Battery
Lithium, cobalt or even manganese - what reads like the list of ingredients for the mobility and energy revolution is available in abundance in Africa. However, China has been a major player in Africa for years and was already investing heavily when Europe was still seeing golden times for combustion engines. In the meantime, however, that has changed: As Handelsblatt reports, more and more African countries want to do their own thing regarding raw materials and turn from exporters into processors - for the countries of Europe, this is an opportunity.

Nordex, American Lithium, Globex Mining, Nel - New stock favourites?
The energy transition is fuelling the raw materials boom. Solar and wind energy, hydrogen and electromobility - raw materials such as nickel, rare earths, lithium and cobalt are needed for all future technologies. Companies like Nordex and Nel ASA need the raw materials. The Nordex share has had a challenging year. But analysts see the light at the end of the tunnel. The wind turbine manufacturer is introducing a new product. At Nel, experts advise selling, and the annual figures are due soon from the Scandinavians. In contrast, Globex Mining continues to be traded as an outperformer even after the 50% rally since November 2022. The quality of the resource projects is high, and the share is being revalued. American Lithium has also performed strongly since Q4 2022. The uranium subsidiary is expected to provide the next share price jump. However, bad news is coming from China for the lithium sector. This time, Tesla is not instigating the price war.

The Greentech rally continues: Shares of ThyssenKrupp, Manuka Resources, BYD and Varta in focus
The pessimists among economists were proven wrong at the beginning of the year. No, the German GDP did not fall in 2022, but rose by a full 1.9%. Who would have thought that with the supply chain problems, growth would be possible at all? Due to the war in Ukraine, rising energy prices and record inflation, economic regeneration in 2022 turned out surprisingly better than expected. This is due to various special effects, such as restructuring our energy supply, which positively affected the German economy. So far, there has also been no gas emergency, which would have weighed heavily on industry. We look at opportunities in the emerging Greentech industry.

Encavis, Globex Mining, Freeport-McMoRan - Like in a fairy tale
Germany still has 22 years to achieve its goal of climate neutrality. By then, electricity will be generated purely from the sun and wind, and buildings will be so perfectly insulated that they will no longer need to be heated. Cars will only be fueled by electricity or green hydrogen. On paper, the energy mix transformation reads simple, but the implementation seems almost impossible, given current developments. Massive problems are likely to arise in procuring critical raw materials, as global demand is already outstripping supply for many metals.

Alerio Gold, Plug Power, JinkoSolar - Commodity boom for RE turnaround
The commodity market surged in 2022, driven by energy procurement shifts due to conflicts with Russia and China. Also, central banks continue to fight galloping inflation. One beneficiary of the crisis is precious metals, and companies like Alerio Gold specialize in mining them. The experienced team is working on three promising projects in Guyana. Companies like JinkoSolar are shaping the energy transition. Analysts predict a growth boom, especially for the Asia-Pacific region, as this is where most solar companies are conquering markets worldwide with innovative products. To expand its market power, Plug Power has chosen a renowned partner to further advance green hydrogen as an energy source.

Nel ASA, Manuka Resources, TUI - Which stocks will take off in 2023?
Shares are a popular form of investment that can hold a lot of potential. Particularly interesting are stocks that are positioned before a turnaround. This means that the Company has had difficulties in the past but is now expected to see positive changes in its business potential. These stocks can bring large profits if successful, as they often trade at lower prices and have great upside potential. However, it is important to thoroughly analyze the Company's financials and business model before investing in such stocks. We take a look at three promising titles.

Nordex, Manuka Resources, American Lithium - The profiteers of scarcity
Besides the raging war in Ukraine, the discussion about the energy industry of the future accompanies us daily. It has already been decided that renewable energies such as wind power and photovoltaics will be the way forward. Likewise, the move away from the internal combustion engine to battery-powered electric motors is in the bag. But the implementation problems will be with us over the next few years. Where will producers get the raw materials that are already in short supply? Another critical issue is energy storage. Here, too, there is an increasing demand for a raw material that is currently produced primarily in Russia and China.

K+S, Alerio Gold, American Lithium - Which commodity stocks offer the most potential in the supercycle?
Commodities will outperform the other major asset classes, equities, bonds and currencies, in the new year. Goldman Sachs has been predicting a commodities supercycle for some time. Of course, not all commodities will perform equally well. There is a supply problem in some areas. In the US, for example, experts are critical of corn or soybean inventories. Therefore, we look at three companies and shed light on whether the commodity produced could experience a boom in 2023.
