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?

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen: Multiplier or downfall?
Hydrogen technology could not only revolutionize the future of energy but also offer significant opportunities for investors. Hydrogen stocks are currently in the spotlight and promise potentially high returns. Companies specializing in the production, storage, and distribution of hydrogen could be among the big winners of the energy transition. Many of these companies are still in the early stages of development, which means high growth opportunities but also entails corresponding risks. The question is: Can you get multipliers in your portfolio with hydrogen companies, or is there a risk of total loss? We look at three companies aiming to make money with hydrogen.

Daimler Truck, First Hydrogen, Nikola - Green logistics companies in focus
With the aim of promoting greener technologies and meeting legal requirements, logistics companies are faced with the choice between electric and hydrogen drives for the future. Many countries have introduced strict emissions regulations to reduce CO2 emissions and minimize the use of fossil fuels. While electric drives impress with their high energy efficiency and low operating costs, hydrogen drives score points with their fast refueling and long range. We have picked out three companies, some of which are pursuing different approaches, and take a look at their current situation.

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.

First Hydrogen, Delivery Hero, Porsche - New markets, new challenges, and optimistic analysts
The markets are on the move. Delivery Hero is charging its B2B customers in South Korea to pay more to cushion a potential fine of three million euros. While food is delivered by bicycle in urban areas, there are numerous delivery services that deliver goods to their customers by van. Whether Amazon, Hermes, or DHL, innovations are urgently needed here, as purely electric vehicles can usually only handle short distances. First Hydrogen could be the answer. The Company is developing emission-free vehicles for logistics that can cover 630 km on a single fuel tank. First Hydrogen is thus positioning itself as an innovative player in the still-young hydrogen market. Porsche, on the other hand, is struggling with declining sales figures, particularly in China. However, analysts remain optimistic, thanks to a positive margin trend and another decisive factor.

dynaCERT, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy - Growth drivers in renewable energy: Who is leading?
In the hydrogen business, countries are providing government incentives to further promote this innovative technology. For instance, the US Department of Energy is providing around USD 750 million for 52 projects in 24 states. The goal is clear: to make clean hydrogen affordable and to gain international leadership in this sector. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed an emission-reducing technology to retrofit conventional diesel engines to make them emission-free. This bridging technology combines the best of both worlds: the efficiency of diesel engines and the retrofittable and switchable CO₂-reducing drive form. The engine itself remains untouched in its functionality. One reason for the slow progress of large-scale hydrogen projects is the still lacking infrastructure. Siemens Energy can look forward to significant growth in its Grid Technologies division. Volkswagen, on the other hand, is learning that subsidies are not always advantageous, particularly regarding electric vehicles. The plant in Brussels is on the brink of collapse. And then there is a multi-million-dollar compensation claim from a completely different sector.

Innovation meets tradition: How Mercedes-Benz Group, Desert Gold, and Amazon are shaping the future
The global economy is facing a variety of challenges and opportunities. While vehicle manufacturers such as Mercedes are adapting their strategies, new opportunities are opening up in other sectors. Mercedes is expanding the combustion engine range of its S-Class and offering models with both a petrol engine and an electric battery. The German Association of the Automotive Industry is concerned about the EU's punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports. It predicts that the impending trade conflict will intensify, particularly with regard to rare earth metals. In these uncertain times, it is all the more important to add some gold to the portfolio as a hedge. One candidate with high growth potential is the exploration company Desert Gold, which is investigating an outstanding area with over 1 million ounces of gold resources in Mali, Africa. Those who prefer data to new gold will be pleased with Amazon's latest strategic move. The Seattle-based company has not only brought on board a smart AI leader but also the entire team along with AI. Where is an investment worthwhile?

Euro 2024 Round of 16 - A Summer fairytale on the stock markets, too? BYD, VW, Power Nickel and Rheinmetall qualify early
Football has always been a great way to distract the masses. People love sports because it relaxes them even when they are just watching - a tried and tested remedy for the multiple crises that continue to spiral into our minds. Fortunately, the stock markets are trading so high that the looming banking crisis in China and Japan is not working its way through to Europe in the media. The EU financial markets have lost a lot of ground since the election because while the NASDAQ is rushing from peak to peak, the EURO STOXX is making an almost unnoticed 5% correction, and France is even down 10%. EU spreads on German government bonds widened further, a scenario that seemed to have been forgotten since 2008. And in football, Germany is hopeful going into the Round of 16, and our stock picks are also bursting with strength.

Opportunities upon opportunities: sell AI now! Nel ASA, Royal Helium, Plug Power, and BYD
19,887 is the new record high of the NASDAQ 100 index. Dream returns from Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft could accelerate the stock market's growth into the summer once again. This could also make the second quarter of 2024 a good month for equities, as the saying "Sell in May and go Away" does not seem to apply this year. However, there are plenty of lagging stocks with great potential. They are currently on one side, as the attraction of the "Magnificent Seven" is too strong. We take the euphoria as an opportunity to take a closer look at a few promising stocks.
