These companies defy the crisis - TeamViewer, Smartbroker Holding AG, JinkoSolar
The past weeks have brought many negative surprises with the publication of the figures for the third quarter. Last week, in addition to Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz and Hypoport also lowered their forecasts. However, there were also companies that performed better than expected by the consensus of analysts despite the difficult conditions. It is precisely here that enormous turnaround opportunities lie due to the consolidation of the past months.

Strategic turning points in Chemicals, Automotive and Energy: Investment opportunities with Defense Metals, Volkswagen and BASF
Rare earths are becoming increasingly important due to digitalization, especially for the electronics industry. Defense Metals, a company from Canada, is focusing on the extraction of rare earths at the Wicheeda project. Geotechnical investigations are progressing rapidly in order to develop the valuable raw material. Volkswagen reports an impressive 17.9% increase in car sales in July. Nevertheless, the Company is lowering its annual sales forecast due to growing competition in China. Germany's energy transition is affecting major corporations like BASF. The US company Cheniere Energy will supply BASF with liquefied gas in the future. To adapt to the new market conditions, BASF has successfully completed the spin-off of its mobile exhaust catalyst and precious metal services businesses. The new site surprises.

PayPal, Star Navigation Systems, Palantir - Fully on course
Since the start of generative AI around Chat GPT, Google Bard & Co at the latest, artificial intelligence has become mainstream. There are many beneficiaries of the hype, above all, the graphics card specialist Nvidia, which exceeded the average expectations of analysts by about 50% with its current sales forecast. The reason for these numbers surpassing the consensus was the Company's "incredible orders" for data center upgrades. In addition to Nvidia, lesser-known companies are also benefiting from the revolution based on information and communication technology.

Nvidia, Defense Metals, Uniper - Valuable commodities for trillion-dollar digital market
Digital transformation is critical for industrial companies worldwide to remain competitive and gain strategic advantage. In this context, Nvidia and Hexagon have partnered to provide companies with a comprehensive set of solutions for accelerating industrial digitalization. Defense Metals, on the other hand, secured the supply of essential rare earths for the global energy transition with a successful hydrometallurgical trial and feasibility study. The Wicheeda project in British Columbia strengthens the local energy supply and offers strategic advantages in defence, security and green technology. Uniper, an international energy company, relies on biomass instead of natural gas for energy production. With the construction of a syngas plant in the Netherlands, the Company aims to replace natural gas with sustainable gas in chemical production processes.

Heating chaos in Berlin! Palantir, Defense Metals, Borussia Dortmund - Do governments use artificial intelligence like ChatGPT?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key driver for the digital transformation of our society. Some technologies have been around for over 50 years but advances in computing power and the availability of big data and new algorithms have led to breakthroughs in AI in recent years. Even if AI is only slowly becoming present in our everyday lives, new applications are likely to bring enormous changes in the future. Decision-making processes, for example, can be strongly supported digitally since today's computers can sift through hundreds of years of knowledge within a few seconds. But does this necessarily mean that the quality of results will also increase?

PayPal, Defiance Silver, Palantir - The rebound is firmly in sight
In the dynamic and volatile financial markets, finding investment opportunities that offer above-average returns is a constant challenge for investors. One way to achieve significant outperformance compared to the overall market is to identify promising rebound candidates that have experienced a disproportionate decline in value following weak earnings or other negative events but are likely to stage a comeback due to their business model.

Star Navigation Systems, AMD, Freyr Battery: Where high-tech stocks are shaping the future
This week, there was unrest over the Russian presidential palace in Moscow as two drones reportedly violated the airspace. This makes the monitoring and optimization of airspace even more critical. High-tech companies such as Star Navigation Systems are taking action precisely where Moscow seems to be cutting corners a little too much. Thanks to modern technology, real-time data can be analyzed, and responses can be made accordingly. High-tech also requires the necessary chip and cloud technologies. Investors were thus able to follow AMD's first results this year with excitement. Are they really ahead of their competitor NVIDIA? The latter company finds its use in the new partnership between FREYR Battery and Siemens.

Triple AAA is in demand in the crisis - Amazon, Aspermont and Alibaba keep their promises!
The DAX rises and rises and rises. At 15,742 points, a new high for the year was reached again yesterday, and the all-time high at around 16,290 points now also appears within reach. The strong rise in interest rates of recent months has slowed down somewhat, as inflation rates are no longer in double digits. However, it is questionable whether the next bull market on the NASDAQ is imminent since the FED recently indicated that it was not yet thinking about interest rate cuts. The so-called "dot plots" of the central bank members, however, speak a different language. We look at some classic growth stocks that are now returning to focus.

Aspermont, Amazon, Shop Apotheke - These shares embrace digitization!
Companies like the Canadian media company Aspermont are among the pioneers of digitization and are thus miles ahead of their competitors. With their unique platform solution, the original mining trade magazine publisher can quickly scale into other segments and keep both industry and experts up to date with the latest knowledge. The value of successful digitization is also evident in the Shop Apotheke business figures now published. The digital mail-order pharmacy, which is accessible in Europe, is able to score points despite a change in the management board. In the US, Amazon is one step further, launching 24/7 digital patient care operations through One Medical.
