Takeover speculation and momentum: BioNTech, Rheinmetall, Vidac Pharma
BioNTech aims to strengthen its cancer-fighting pipeline by acquiring the Chinese biotech firm Biotheus. The Mainz-based company is laying out up to USD 950 million for the company, which specializes in the development of therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. This is the latest example of takeovers in the cancer sector. Vidac Pharma, with a market capitalization of just over EUR 30 million, appears to be favorably valued. Analysts share this view, as Vidac is working on a revolutionary cancer therapy. While Vidac's share price jumped in the second half of the year, Rheinmetall consolidated. Will the defense stock be able to break out with the tailwind from Trump?

Rheinmetall, 123fahrschule, Freenet – On the verge of a further upward surge
The traffic light is red, and the coalition government formed by the SPD, FDP and the Greens has failed. What remains behind is an ever-weaker economy. Irrespective of this, the German leading index, DAX, is moving towards its all-time high of 19,670 points after a brief dip last week due to the US election. German small-cap companies have also caused a stir in recent days and offer promising entry opportunities at the current level.

Trump triumphs! What happens now with gold, e-mobility and green tech? BYD, VW, Thunder Gold, Nel, and Plug Power in focus
The US election is over. Donald Trump is moving back into the White House. Along with a tougher stance on China, conservative voters in the US are hoping for a greater focus on their own country. America needs a complete renewal of its infrastructure and will push ahead with armaments, so commodities of all kinds will come into focus. For Europe, the degree of responsibility for its own affairs will increase significantly, and the development of stable supply chains is imperative. Trump supports Bitcoin, so gold may have to give up some of its recent gains. What are the yield or loss drivers for investors now? After the election, investors should separate the wheat from the chaff to ensure their portfolios are properly positioned.

Share about to jump? Rheinmetall, JinkoSolar, Almonty Industries
The German government has allocated EUR 1 billion for a new raw materials fund. This will enable the KfW to participate in mining projects in Germany and abroad and secure Germany's supply of critical raw materials. To reduce dependence on China and Russia for tungsten, the state bank provided millions to Almonty Industries a few years ago. The mine in South Korea is nearing completion, prompting a revaluation of the stock. Rheinmetall's recent revaluation showcases the potential for significant stock price increases. Could Almonty be next? Meanwhile, JinkoSolar's stock took a notable hit yesterday, continuing its volatility. What lies ahead?

The year 2024, a successful year on the stock market so far, is already in the home stretch.

Investors could seize the opportunity and switch from value to growth, as many undervalued gems are currently in play.

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, AMD – These stocks have tailwinds
Stocks in certain sectors, particularly the defense industry, tungsten producers, and chipmakers for artificial intelligence, are currently experiencing strong tailwinds. The increasing geopolitical uncertainty and rising defense spending are driving the defense industry. Tungsten is in high demand as an essential material for technology and defense purposes, which benefits tungsten producers. At the same time, advancements in artificial intelligence are driving demand for specialized chips, which benefits chip manufacturers. These developments are creating attractive investment opportunities as the strategic importance and growth prospects of these industries continue to increase and attract investors.

PayPal, Prismo Metals, Rheinmetall – Strategic Decisions for the Future
Three companies are setting the course for further growth: PayPal is opening up a new business segment in the US and launching the "PayPal Ads" advertising network to use transaction data for retail media. This move could increase the Company's clout. Meanwhile, the demand for copper is rapidly picking up speed. Prismo Metals is therefore intensifying its exploration activities, particularly at the Palos Verdes project in Mexico, in order to benefit from the increasing demand. Rheinmetall has received an order from the US Army to develop unmanned ground vehicles for the S-MET program, strengthening the Company's position in autonomous military vehicles.

New DAX highs – are 100% gains still possible for Airbus, Rheinmetall, Almonty, or Hensoldt after the correction?
With a new all-time high of over 19,400 points, the DAX has now run very far. The drivers are the recent interest rate cuts by the central banks and hopes of an early change of government in Berlin. Despite the widespread euphoria, some top stocks have already corrected significantly. Possible peace negotiations in Ukraine initially pushed down the well-performing armaments stocks. However, with the renewed escalation of Russian attacks, these hopes have once again faded into the distance. As a result, defense stocks and tungsten supplier Almonty Industries are back in the spotlight. Strategic metals also remain on the shopping lists of Western nations, and the focus is now on securing the supply chains as best as possible. Where are the opportunities for investors?

E-mobility, copper boom, and chemical crisis: Rheinmetall, Prismo Metals, and BASF showcase industry trends
Rheinmetall's share price has risen by 438.95% since the start of the Ukraine conflict. Now, the Company is looking far beyond the defense industry. From electric coolant pumps for hybrid vehicles to hydrogen recirculation blowers for fuel cells, Rheinmetall is positioning itself as a pioneer in key technologies for sustainable mobility. This demand is significantly impacting the need for copper. Here, Prismo Metals is positioning itself as a strategically ideal partner with projects in Mexico and the US. While BASF seeks to secure its competitiveness with these measures, this also raises questions about the future of the chemical industry in Europe and the impact of strict climate regulations on global corporations.
