The secret formula for stable returns: BASF, WashTec, and Volkswagen
In uncertain times, investors long for stability. Dividends not only generate returns but, above all, offer stability. The focus is shifting from speculative hype to companies with sustainable dividend policies. These quality characteristics can be found not only in large index heavyweights but also in specific niches. Three established names that should be examined more closely in this regard are BASF, WashTec, and Volkswagen.

Playing megatrends with the right stocks – NEO Battery Materials, XPeng, BYD
"The trend is your friend" – this is a well-known stock market adage that advises investors to take advantage of a stock's upward trend and let profits run. For investors, it is often worthwhile to focus on so-called megatrends - sectors expected to achieve dynamic growth over the coming years or decades, thanks to sustained high demand, for example, in terms of technology or socio-demographics. Artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as everything related to the defense industry, are currently very popular. Equally exciting are the areas of electromobility and battery technology. China dominates the market, and this strong position is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. However, innovations from players outside China, such as those from NEO Battery Materials, are particularly exciting. The Canadian company is implementing innovative approaches and processes that could contribute to meaningful advancements in the global battery market.

How European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen are overcoming the supply chain crisis and creating potential in their portfolios
The global tech and defense industries are under pressure. Dependence on critical raw materials from limited sources is becoming a strategic nightmare. Recent trade restrictions are driving up prices, jeopardizing supply chains, and forcing Europe to rethink its strategy quickly. At the same time, studies warn of an impending lithium shortage that could bring the electric vehicle boom to an abrupt end. The race for secure supply and technological sovereignty is in full swing – and at the same time offers historic opportunities. We therefore take a look at three companies that are directly active in these turbulent markets: European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen.

BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex: How to benefit from industry leaders in the energy transition
A new industrial era is dawning. Driven by the global energy transition, there is an unprecedented demand for clean technology, powerful batteries, and the metals that power them. But this multi-billion-dollar arms race reveals a critical vulnerability: the scarcity of strategic raw materials and fragile supply chains. The key to success no longer lies solely in innovation, but in mastering the entire value chain, from the mine to the finished plant. We take a closer look at three companies at the forefront of the energy transition: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex.

NEO Battery Materials: Making companies like Rheinmetall and Mercedes-Benz less dependent on China's battery market
The next wave of the industrial revolution is being driven by high-performance batteries. They are the lifeblood of booming sectors such as electromobility, autonomous drones, and AI-powered factories. Investors who back the companies developing and integrating these advanced energy storage systems are positioning themselves at the forefront of a megatrend worth billions. Battery innovator NEO Battery Materials is therefore increasingly coming into focus. Defense giant Rheinmetall is seeking improved batteries for its drones to enable longer flight times, while car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is searching for next-generation battery technology that could finally help electric mobility achieve its definitive breakthrough.

Silver North Resources is benefiting from high silver prices and will be able to supply JinkoSolar and Xiaomi in the future
Demand for silver is driving prices to unprecedented heights. As an indispensable raw material for solar cells, electronics, and electromobility, a production deficit is now emerging that is bringing the precious metal increasingly into focus. For consumers, this could become a cost trap, while at the same time opening up a unique opportunity for investors. The real winners are clear: those companies that extract the coveted metal from the earth. This dynamic development brings together three players in a special constellation. The explorer Silver North Resources is a potential beneficiary, and the bulk buyers JinkoSolar and Xiaomi are drivers of demand.

Takeover fever! BYD is amazed, Graphano celebrates, and Lyft buys FreeNow from Mercedes and BMW!
If the electric vehicle market wants to overtake combustion engines, further advances in battery technology are still needed. Consumers need to be convinced, which means that economic realities should be at the forefront of their purchasing decisions. Major innovations require high-performance materials, including graphite, which is a key component of modern lithium-ion batteries. Graphite contributes to a greater range, higher energy density, and improved safety. At the same time, innovative approaches to silicon anodes and novel cathode materials are ensuring more efficient and cost-effective production processes. With the steady expansion of charging infrastructure, range anxiety among consumers is diminishing, further boosting the adoption of e-mobility. This highly dynamic innovation environment thus opens up attractive prospects for both technology developers and investors, as the industry is changing rapidly.

BYD and Graphano Energy are driving the energy storage revolution - even Nordex is benefiting indirectly
The energy landscape is undergoing radical change. The key no longer lies solely in the generation of green electricity, but in its intelligent storage and use. Electric vehicles are mutating into rolling power tanks that can stabilize grids, while extensive stationary storage facilities compensate for the fluctuating feed-in from wind and solar power. This revolution opens up massive savings potential for consumers and reduces the need for expensive grid upgrades. We take a look at whether BYD, Graphano Energy, and Nordex can benefit from this booming ecosystem.

Critical metals plus gold equals returns! Another 100% with Power Metallic, BYD, Mercedes, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
Is it good or bad news that the US government is not supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine? It is hard to say, especially if you live in Central Europe. The perceived threat from Russia has seemingly tripled within just a few months, as have the share prices of defense technology providers and suppliers of critical materials. Investors recognize that everything is interconnected these days. Artificial intelligence is boosting certain industries while simultaneously creating millions of unemployed people over the next few years, on top of an already shrinking economy. Those who are still able to consume happily will likely be the fortunate shareholders who bet on the right horses in this complex mix. We have a few examples in store for risk-conscious investors.

Trade war over? Not at all! Here is what's happening now with Graphano Energy, Porsche, and Volkswagen
The US and China have agreed to a kind of truce in their trade conflict. China's export restrictions on metals, which were only announced in October, have been lifted. In return, China will purchase agricultural products from the US, and the agreement will be renegotiated in a year's time. What US President Donald Trump is selling as a major victory is, at best, a temporary ceasefire. The past few weeks have shown that the preliminary agreement will change little for Western industrial companies: they have gained time and must make good use of it.
