Artificial intelligence shopping with these stocks: Infineon, BrainChip, Porsche, VW
It is hard to imagine tomorrow's high-tech applications without them: small, miniaturized chips that take over the intelligent control of our modern appliances. These nimble marvels must not only perform their programmed tasks but also save power and space. Engineering centers worldwide are trying to develop chips that learn from exogenous influences, i.e. that detect their environment through speech recognition or corresponding sensor technology, evaluate states and develop reaction categories. For example, if an object the size of a ball rolls from the right edge of the road across the center of the lane, such systems are supposed to trigger braking with the help of optics and sensor technology. Bravo if it works - where are the opportunities in the current stock downturn?

Edison Lithium, Rock Tech Lithium, BYD - Shares of the entire lithium value chain
Since all car companies have entered the e-mobility market, the demand for batteries for electric vehicles has skyrocketed. An all-out battle has broken out for the components needed for this, which is reflected above all in the price of lithium. While the price was around USD 5,000 per ton at the end of 2020, it was most recently quotes around USD 73,000. Experts even consider further price increases up to USD 100,000 possible because demand is significantly higher than supply. The German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources also comes to this conclusion. The lithium market promises to remain exciting in the coming years. Therefore, today we look at three companies along the value chain.

The Tesla hunters: BYD, VW, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Which share is ahead?
Alongside autonomous driving and new car-sharing concepts, electromobility represents the mobility of the future. With the electrification of the drive and the storage of the energy required for this in powerful batteries, combustion engines are now to disappear from our roads by 2035 - this is the almost unanimous political view. The aim is to reduce hazardous emissions to health and, simultaneously, to cut emissions of climate-damaging carbon dioxide. This is accompanied by a fundamental change in the automotive and supplier industry: In terms of value, the battery will be by far the largest cost factor in the automobile in the future. What is the current status?

XPeng, Infinity Stone Ventures, Rock Tech Lithium - Enormous growth potential
Bad news for all BYD shareholders, stock market legend Warren Buffett is selling off part of his shares, causing the recently strongly performing stock to falter. Despite the short-term share price turbulence of the Chinese market leader, e-mobility is set for exponential growth in the coming years due to the achievement of climate targets. This development, in turn, is fueling global lithium demand. The raw material needed to build electric car batteries is already becoming scarce. The main beneficiaries of the shortage are likely to be producers of the metal.

GreenTech companies in hot demand: Freyr Battery, Rock Tech Lithium, Meta Materials, BYD
Many CEOs of young companies set lofty goals for themselves. In the GreenTech sector, it currently looks as if many of these goals will come true: Industrial companies are seeking collaborations with young companies by the dozen. We explain the advantages this offers investors and how investors can seize opportunities using several examples. Let's start with one of last week's high flyers.

BYD, Globex Mining, Tesla - Run on commodities!
It is a time of extremes: extreme heat, drought, and prices in the gas and electricity markets. The run on commodities has begun, and investors should look closely at where growth will occur over the next 24 months. Globex Mining is one candidate that, thanks to its business model, covers diversified commodities directly with acreage in the US and Canada. That is sure to please Elon Musk. Through Tesla Powerwalls, Tesla turns its end users into power generators that supply energy to California's vulnerable electrical grid. The state is subject to temperatures so extreme that blackouts can occur. BYD is proving just how valuable an end-to-end production chain is in this day and age.

BYD after Buffett shock - Better to bet on JinkoSolar and Meta Materials?
So, now it is done: Star investor Warren Buffett has sold shares in the Tesla hunter, BYD. Although it is only a small part of the investment, the BYD share went down significantly. Because now, the door is open to speculation about what will happen to the legal shares - Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway still holds almost 19% of the Chinese carmaker. The convincing quarterly figures have thus receded into the background. JinkoSolar has presented mixed figures. The Company is benefiting from the skyrocketing electricity and gas prices. After all, they are driving demand for solar systems, but analysts are divided. Meta Materials' innovative functional materials are also expected to revolutionize renewable energy production in the future. For further development, the patent octopus has now strengthened itself with a veteran of the chip industry.

E-mobility before hydrogen! Watch out for Plug Power, Edison Lithium, Mercedes-Benz and Rock Tech
According to the traffic light coalition, subsidies for e-mobility will continue until about 2025 but will decrease by an average of about 30% annually. In the future, the top models will be subsidized even less, and the subsidy for hybrids will already expire at the end of the year. Vehicles costing over EUR 65,000 will no longer be subsidized at all. The environmental bonus tax pot comprises EUR 3.4 billion and will not be increased any further. However, it is important that hydrogen-powered vehicles also benefit from subsidies. Currently, however, there is a lack of models for the mass market. For the e-industry, there are still bottlenecks in battery technology and lithium availability. Against this background, the industry will still have a lot of work to do to get climate change in mobility on the road. Where are the opportunities?

BYD, Kleos Space, Bayer - Great opportunities in laggards
Although stock markets continue to correct, driven by geopolitical uncertainties and interest rate fears, some sectors have defied the generally adverse market conditions in recent weeks. For example, renewable energy stocks such as Plug Power more than doubled on the back of Joe Biden's climate change package. However, most companies from other sectors remain at discounted levels despite excellent prospects, which should offer investors good long-term entry opportunities.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta - Is hydrogen displacing e-mobility?
Chancellor Scholz was in Canada with Economics Minister Habeck to secure gas and hydrogen for the future. According to CEO Oliver Zipse, BMW is looking into series production of hydrogen cars. These are alarm signals for the producers of batteries for electric vehicles. Until recently, the electric drive was the preferred option in the passenger car market. The disadvantages are the long charging times, the low range and safety aspects. The hydrogen drive can score points, especially in terms of charging times. If the electric drive is to maintain its lead, the batteries in electric cars must become more efficient. Today, we look at three companies trying to solve the problems of rechargeable batteries.
