E-mobility tax-free through 2035! Keep an eye on BYD, NEO Battery Materials, NIO and BASF
In the third quarter of 2025, the global market for electric mobility continued to develop dynamically: over 4.2 million new electric vehicles were registered, an increase of around 28% compared to the previous year. While China confidently maintained its leading position as the largest single market, Europe also grew strongly with double-digit growth rates. Driven by manufacturers such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen, NIO is also slowly entering the scene. At the same time, more and more capital is flowing into innovative battery technologies to meet rising demand in the long term. NEO Battery Materials is emerging as a specialist in the innovative battery solutions business. This rapid development illustrates how closely technology, raw material markets, and the electric mobility boom are intertwined. We present some ideas for investors.

Indonesia shock for car manufacturers – NISK offers hope: Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Power Metallic Mines
Indonesia is the global hotspot for nickel. According to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, around 50% of the global supply comes from this Asian country. But recently, the media and NGOs have put the country's "dirty" nickel in the spotlight. Environmental organizations are sounding the alarm: in the mining regions of Sulawesi and the Moluccas, the soil and coastal waters are reportedly contaminated, and in some places the sea is turning red due to mining residues. As reported by German broadcaster ZDF a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz also indirectly sources nickel from Indonesia. We take a look at what the consequences of these allegations are and why a promising nickel location may now return to the focus of industry.

DAX breaks 24,000 – E-mobility booming! Keep an eye on BYD, Pasinex Resources, Nordex, and Siemens Energy
In the third quarter of 2025, the global e-mobility market once again grew strongly: more than 4.2 million new electric vehicles were registered worldwide, an increase of around 28% over the previous year. China remains by far the largest single market, but Europe is also recording double-digit growth rates, driven by manufacturers such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen. At the same time, investment in new battery technology is increasing in order to secure the rising demand in the long term. The raw material zinc is becoming increasingly important, not only for corrosion protection and alloys, but also as a key component in innovative zinc-air batteries, which could represent a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to lithium. This development underscores how closely raw material markets and e-mobility growth are intertwined. Here are a few investment ideas.

Graphite problem solvers with small valuation: SGL Carbon, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy
Battery-grade graphite is classified as a critical element in both the US and the EU. The reason: supply chains have been too dependent on China. Recent geopolitical shifts have caused decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic to rethink their approach to graphite and other critical raw materials. Secure sources are now in high demand. At the same time, sustainability and environmental protection remain key requirements for projects. In this article, we explain the latest developments in the graphite market and how investors can benefit from them.

How BYD Leverages Its Lead, How Power Metallic Mines Benefits, and Why Mercedes-Benz Needs to Catch Up
The next phase of electromobility has begun. It is no longer vehicle sales that determine the winners and losers, but rather the fierce battle for the raw materials used in their construction. While demand for copper, lithium, nickel, and cobalt is exploding, supply bottlenecks and political dependencies threaten to slow down the profitable ramp-up. Those who secure the most valuable resources today will control the entire market tomorrow. Reason enough to take a closer look at the strategic moves of BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Mercedes-Benz, which are now setting the course for the coming decade.

Is the industrial heart of Europe dying? Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, AJN Resources
Uncertainty in Germany is greater than ever: Increasingly, companies in the automotive industry are cutting jobs. According to industry experts at EY, around 51,100 jobs were lost in the automotive industry within a year, corresponding to around 7% of all jobs. Companies in other sectors are also making cuts. Most recently, Lufthansa also laid off staff. This bad news is accompanied by a worrying mood of doom and gloom among the German population – especially in the traditionally wealthy southwest of the country. In this article, we explain how the industrial giants Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are faring and why more and more investors are turning their attention to gold stocks as a result.

Gold boom boosts critical metals! Another 100% with Power Metallic, BYD, Hensoldt and RENK
The geopolitical situation continues to escalate, but the stock markets continue to boom! Trade conflicts, sanctions, and military tensions dominate the headlines, but behind the front lines of a new Cold War, another competition has long been raging: the battle for access to critical metals. Without copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, or rare earths, not only would the e-mobility revolution come to a standstill, but defense technologies, digitalization, and the energy transition would also grind to a halt. Supply chains are coming under increasing pressure from geopolitical power games, and the battle for resources is becoming a key strategic factor in a multipolar world order. For Western industrialized nations, security of supply is becoming a matter of survival, and for investors, this is creating new opportunities. Anyone looking for tomorrow's winners today should keep a close eye on the global raw materials poker game.

One-stop shop – Battery metals from a single source: Umicore, BASF, Power Metallic Mines
Anyone who is often in a rush knows the challenge after work: just a quick trip to the store. In such cases, we usually head to our trusted supermarket, where we can find all the products we need in one place. The same principle applies in mining. Complex products, such as modern high-performance batteries for electric vehicles, require a wide range of metals. Polymetallic deposits are therefore in particularly high demand – they are like the familiar neighborhood supermarket for industrial customers. We explain why Power Metallic Mines has the potential to become a one-stop shop for potential major customers such as Umicore and BASF.
