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.

123fahrschule, Intel, Mercedes-Benz - Between disruption and evolution: New business models in focus
Companies in Germany and the US are undergoing a profound transformation: Traditional business models are being digitally transformed, and established market leaders must defend their positions. As Germany's largest driving school chain, 123fahrschule SE is revolutionizing a EUR 2.75 billion market through digitalization and driving simulator technology. From 2025, 50% of theory lessons can be done online - a turning point for the industry. Despite a solid financial position, Mercedes-Benz is struggling with a profit decline in the third quarter of 2024 from EUR 3.4 billion to EUR 1.2 billion. The premium manufacturer is investing heavily in e-mobility, while around 140,000 jobs in the German automotive industry will be lost by 2035. Intel, which has left the Dow Jones after 25 years, is transforming from a pure processor manufacturer to a contract manufacturer. With the new Intel 18A technology and planned cost savings of USD 10 billion by 2025, the chip giant is showing the first signs of success in its transformation.

The raw materials revolution with Almonty Industries, Barrick Gold, and ASML - The architects of the digital future
Technological progress is impossible without strategic materials such as tungsten, gold and hyperpure silicon wafers for semiconductors. Three companies play a key role in ensuring the security of supply in the Western world. Almonty Industries is on the verge of opening a large tungsten mine in South Korea. The Sangdong mine, which can meet 10% of global tungsten demand, offers a real alternative to Chinese dominance for the first time – a strategic breakthrough, given that 97% of South Korea's tungsten demand has historically come from China. Barrick Gold reaffirms the stability of the precious metals sector with gold production of 943,000 ounces in the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, ASML, the world's leading manufacturer of lithography systems, is securing the future of chip production. Despite geopolitical tensions with China, ASML expects revenues of EUR 30 to 35 billion by 2025 - a clear signal of the growing importance of the semiconductor industry. We have three companies in focus.

More than 100% upside potential! Bayer, Plug Power and 123fahrschule – Which stock is convincing?
Analysts see more than a 100% upside potential in the 123fahrschule stock.

Plug Power can also show rising sales, but like industry colleague Nel, the Americans are unable to get a grip on their losses. Will the quarterly figures turn things around? Bayer shareholders have been waiting for a turnaround for quite some time. But analysts also expect falling profits in the coming quarterly report. Is there still potential for a 40% increase in the DAX share?

The DAX is on a high, with potential for 100% gains in turnaround stocks like TUI, Lufthansa, 123fahrschule, BYD, and VW!
Despite geopolitical uncertainties, slow economic growth, and still high inflation, the market outlook is improving. It is important to remember that stock markets look 6 to 9 months ahead. Expectations are growing that inflation will significantly decrease, and interest rates will likely drop. The central banks are increasingly under pressure due to the sluggish economy. After months of a tech rally, the focus is now turning to lagging stocks. In the automotive sector, we are looking at VW and BYD, and the tourism sector is also picking up again. The digitalization expert in the German driving school sector, 123fahrschule SE, also appears highly promising. Each of these stocks has the potential to deliver more than 100% gains over the next 24 months. Here is our analysis.
