100% gains with auto stocks! BYD and dynaCERT are already on the launch pad. Are VW, BMW and Mercedes low enough yet?
Growing market shares through progress and innovation. While Chinese e-mobility is vehemently pushing into Europe, local manufacturers face a strategic dilemma. After all, combustion engines are currently still in demand, but what will things look like in 10 years? European car manufacturers currently have to pursue an expensive dual strategy in order to generate revenue. This means that they must not lose pace with developments in the electric vehicle sector while the combustion engine business continues to run at full throttle. While BMW will start series production of fuel cell cars in 2028, the Canadian hydrogen specialist dynaCERT is already in full swing. Where are the opportunities for resourceful investors?

BMW focuses on hydrogen! Takeover (fantasy) at BYD, Nel and dynaCERT
BMW recently sold more electric vehicles in Germany than Tesla. However, the Munich-based company does not want to rest on its laurels and is working on various propulsion systems - including hydrogen! BMW plans to intensify its collaboration with Toyota on fuel cells, demonstrating that hydrogen technology remains in demand among global giants. This also fuels the takeover fantasy at Nel. Could the same be true for dynaCERT? The Company's hydrogen technology reduces emissions in diesel vehicles, and the new CEO has strong connections in Europe. And what is BYD doing? So far, the German market has not been fully penetrated, but now the Chinese company is looking to make a significant push.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, NIO: Global race for the best solutions in e-mobility and energy storage
The energy and automotive sectors are in a state of flux. Volkswagen is implementing drastic cost-cutting measures for its oldest employees and, at the same time, losing market share in the electric vehicle sector. Altech Advanced Materials, on the other hand, is presenting an innovative solution for stationary energy storage with the CERENERGY® solid-state battery. This technology could revolutionize the market for large-scale storage systems and make companies less dependent on regional power supplies. NIO, an up-and-coming electric vehicle manufacturer from China, is revolutionizing the energy supply for electric vehicles with its battery swap system. In doing so, they offer an innovative solution to the biggest pain point for EV drivers to date: charging time. Which company stands for the best forward-looking innovation?

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Xiaomi - Battle for the gold of the energy transition
The energy transition is underway, and demand for electric vehicles is increasing, albeit more slowly than expected. Lithium has so far been fundamental to the electrification of transportation. To minimize dependence on China, which controls a large part of the mining and processing of the rare metal, the European Union is turning to Serbia, where considerable deposits for battery production lie dormant. However, in addition to lithium-ion batteries, there are alternatives "Made in Germany" that could set the future standard.

E-mobility stutters, 200% possible with AI! VW, Mercedes, Prismo Metals, and Super Micro Computer in focus!
E-mobility has become a political issue in Europe. This is because the EU is smilingly having to approve imports from China, which are around 25% cheaper. Although punitive tariffs came into force last week, they also affected German models produced in Asia that are intended for the European market. In the long term, trade wars will always have a negative impact on the economy because consumers remain uncertain, delaying new car purchases. Local dealers are overwhelmed with showroom stock delivered directly from factories. Overall, this puts additional pressure on an already struggling economy, and after Varta, there will likely be more cases of restructuring in the sector. We take a closer look at this challenging sector and uncover interesting opportunities!

RWE, dynaCERT, Mercedes-Benz: Energy of the future - Hydrogen vs Electric
The energy transition is at the center of the strategies of RWE, dynaCERT, and Mercedes-Benz, each with different emphases. The energy company RWE is driving forward its hydrogen strategy with billions in investment and state subsidies. The Company plans to build electrolysers and hydrogen storage facilities, which, according to its IR Factbook, are the most promising components of its energy mix in the future. dynaCERT and its portfolio company Cipher Neutron are also focusing on innovative hydrogen solutions. Its AEM electrolysis technology, which is being researched in collaboration with Simon Fraser University, promises more efficient and cost-effective methods of hydrogen production. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, is struggling with the weaknesses of electric batteries. A severe fire involving an EV-Mercedes in an underground garage required over 8 hours of firefighting efforts, damaging 108 other vehicles and significantly damaging its reputation in one of its key markets...

The world keeps turning! Caution with VW, Mercedes, Altech Advanced Materials, Plug Power, and Nel ASA!
E-mobility and the upstream battery market are making headlines. Following the abolition of tax incentives, the topic of "electric mobility" has to face up to the harsh market conditions. Hydrogen is also competing, but it is currently still far too expensive to be economically successful. This leaves us with battery technologies, which are used both in energy storage systems and in vehicles. The near bankruptcy of Varta shows how tough the market has become here. There is plenty of room for innovative ideas! Altech Advanced Materials is making waves in German engineering with solid concepts. The market eagerly awaits the first mid-sized products, while many other market players must first justify their billion-dollar valuations. We take a closer look.

Shock for Siemens Energy share! BYD and Altech Advanced Materials are going full throttle!
Will the Siemens Energy share price halve? JP Morgan shocked the Company's shareholders with this theory at the beginning of the week. The latest figures were convincing. How did the analysts arrive at the target price, and is there any hope of the share price rising? Altech Advanced Materials is also likely to see its share price rise. The Company is working on next-generation battery technology, and the first prototypes have exceeded expectations. With a high level of equity and strong partners such as Fraunhofer, the rest of the year looks promising. BYD is also going full throttle, aiming for a 5% market share in Europe soon to avoid tariffs.

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Electric on the decline! Is this the hour of hydrogen?
In recent years, electromobility has been regarded as the undisputed driving force behind the global transport revolution. However, recent developments paint a different picture: stagnating sales figures and growing challenges in the supply of raw materials raise the question of whether the era of electric vehicles has reached its peak. As a result, the focus is shifting to another alternative drive system: hydrogen. With increased investment and technological advances in the hydrogen sector, the question arises as to whether the time has come for hydrogen as an energy source to experience its major breakthrough and win the race for sustainable mobility.

BYD, Globex Mining, Coinbase - New opportunities after the price storm
Weak labour market data from the US, which once again increased fears of a recession, the Intel shock, and the further escalation of the situation in the Middle East, put additional pressure on stock markets around the globe. The Dow Jones fell by just under 3% over the week, while Germany's leading index, the DAX, lost over 4.5% in the same period. The market's overall weakness meant that positive company reports took a back seat. This creates opportunities at a discounted level.
