The stock market boom continues – Power Nickel, BYD, Bitcoin, and MicroStrategy are soaring, and thyssenkrupp is turning a corner!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. Chart analysts see the DAX reaching 21,500 points as early as January! Yesterday, the stock markets in the US were closed for Martin Luther King Day, but Donald Trump was sworn in again as the 47th President. Storm clouds are currently a rarity, and corrections have been limited to just a few hours. Investors have to keep pace with this speed to achieve returns. Stagnation or even setbacks are seen only in Germany's GDP, which has declined for the second consecutive year. However, this is no obstacle for higher stock market valuations. Here is a selection of stocks that continue to cause a stir!

D-Wave, European Lithium, BYD – Silicon Valley, the Alps, China: The tech axis of the future
The digital revolution is advancing in quantum leaps: the Silicon Valley company D-Wave is accelerating conventional computing processes by a factor of 2,000 with its groundbreaking quantum computing technology. Analysts predict that its share price will double this year. The Austrian company European Lithium is profiting from the unbroken demand for the same raw material. With its property in beautiful Carinthia, the exploration and mining company has the potential to take the lead among European lithium producers. Automaker BMW is already on board, having invested millions. Analysts predict a growth of 500% for European Lithium shares. In this phase of transformation, shifts in power are also becoming apparent: BYD, originally a battery manufacturer and now China's largest electric vehicle producer, plans to take over two German Volkswagen plants – a symbolic turning point in European industrial history. Where are the best opportunities for investors?

D-Wave Quantum with SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION! Next up, Renk and ARI Motors?
D-Wave Quantum's share price exploded by more than 20% yesterday and is back at USD 6 – on Monday, it was still below USD 4. A new cooperation raises hopes for orders from the US government and state authorities. Meanwhile, ARI Motors is also seeing positive developments in its order flow, signaling growth in its niche within electric mobility despite a challenging environment. This makes the stock ripe for a breakout from its sideways trend – and upwards at that. More and more positive news is coming from Renk. The question remains whether the company can catch up with the underperformance seen compared to Rheinmetall and Hensoldt in 2025.

Rheinmetall, Power Nickel, and BYD in focus – The winners of the next decade
The stock markets are currently rewarding companies that are focusing on future markets – a trend from which Rheinmetall, BYD, and Power Nickel are benefiting. Rheinmetall is securing lucrative major orders in the defense sector and is thus taking advantage of government investments. BYD is driving forward its leading position in the field of e-mobility with determined expansion, thereby responding to the global shift towards sustainable mobility. Power Nickel is developing essential raw material bases to drive the energy transition forward – a key to decarbonization. For investors, these companies represent not just visions but real opportunities for sustainable and attractive returns.

ARI Motors, Volkswagen, BYD – E-mobility between urban niche, China strategy, and ethical boundaries
Electromobility is changing the automotive industry at all levels – from agile small vans for city centre operations to vehicles used on the factory premises of large corporations: cost-efficient solutions are in demand. The German manufacturer ARI Motors is conquering the niche of inner-city deliveries and artisan businesses with its small and nimble electric vehicles. Meanwhile, the industry's big players are fighting for market share in China. Volkswagen is expanding its strategic partnership with Chinese EV pioneer Xpeng to develop new EV models for the Asian market and roll out a nationwide network of 20,000 fast-charging stations. Chinese automaker BYD, however, is making headlines in Brazil – not for its innovations but for a scandal involving questionable working conditions during the construction of a new factory.

Bayer, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – Turnaround Candidates for 2025 Under Review
After the year-end portfolio window-dressing in December, the new year starts with the hunt for the right stocks for 2025. Special attention should be given to turnaround candidates, meaning stocks that underperformed last year. These companies have faced challenging times and have often already begun addressing their issues through strategic realignment. Sometimes, market conditions for a sector can improve significantly from one year to the next, and then the stocks of these companies often rise disproportionately. Identifying the right stocks requires thorough research. We look at three potential turnaround candidates.

Super Rally 2025: Artificial intelligence, crypto and the hunger for energy! TOP performance with MicroStrategy, XXIX Metal, BYD and Mercedes
The sudden cancellation of the government environmental bonus for e-vehicles at the end of 2023 has led to a significant drop in the number of electric vehicles being registered. However, interest in electric vehicles remains, albeit constrained, partly due to the high prices of many electric models. New government measures are expected to boost electric mobility again starting in 2025, with potential incentives of up to EUR 3,600 – though the implementation will likely only happen after the elections. What is being treated as an election promise for Germany has become the norm for the rest of the world. The increasing demand for energy driven by the electrification of various sectors, from high-tech and artificial intelligence to the crypto arena, which is even now being considered as a "reserve currency," highlights how quickly the world is changing in this disruptive environment. However, what all economic and political trends have in common is the need for access to strategic metals, especially copper! Where are the opportunities for investors?

MicroStrategy, Almonty Industries and XPeng make headlines
The markets continued to rise in the first trading week of the new year. The DAX has managed to climb past the 20,000-point mark. Bitcoin is also working on reclaiming the magical USD 100,000 mark. For some market experts, this is just the beginning of an unstoppable run for the world's largest cryptocurrency. Less covered in the media but significantly more critical is the Western world's focus on securing vital raw materials. One company is on the launchpad and could soar to new heights after production begins.

Volkswagen undervalued! What about European Lithium and BYD?
Looking at the market for electric vehicles in Germany, the outlook seems bleak. However, taking a broader view, the global picture tells a different story. Battery production is also steadily rising, driving a growing demand for lithium. Currently, the lithium supply is still sufficient, but experts predict that by 2030 demand will exceed supply. The reason for this is not only the automotive industry but also the demand for energy storage for renewable energies. We take a look at three companies and their current situation.

Automotive revolution: BYD leads the way in electric power, First Hydrogen focuses on hydrogen, and Porsche loses market share
The mobility revolution is in full swing. Whether in the automotive or energy production sectors, innovative CEOs and daring engineers worldwide are working on environmentally friendly drives and energy sources. The Chinese automaker BYD impressively demonstrates the success of its aggressive pricing strategy and a broad model range from hybrid to electric vehicles. It is only a few sales figures away from the top dog Tesla, then BYD is number 1 worldwide. The innovative company First Hydrogen is even going one step further in its planning. In addition to its hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, it plans to build several mini-reactors to produce hydrogen. These mini-reactors will be used by tech giants like Google in the future. While it used to be ahead of everyone else, Porsche is currently driving with the handbrake on. Last year's sharp drop in share prices is forcing the Company to change its strategy. Even its largest market to date, China, is collapsing. Find out here what the Stuttgart-based company is banking on this year.
