Elon Musk is losing, now comes hydrogen! Watch out for BYD, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, and Mercedes
Tesla has already lost its leading role to BYD, but there are other winners from the Texan crash. Mercedes is one of the profiteers. First Hydrogen is ready to roll out its innovative solutions. Since nuclear power plants are almost emission-free during operation, the carbon footprint of green hydrogen from nuclear energy is comparable to that from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Unlike wind or solar energy, nuclear power can produce electricity around the clock because it is not dependent on weather conditions. In countries such as France, Finland, and Japan, nuclear energy is already being considered as an option for hydrogen production to drive the decarbonization of industry. Which stocks are coming to the fore as a result?

Volkswagen, First Phosphate, Mercedes Benz – What is next for the German automotive industry after the BYD advance?
The global mobility industry is at a turning point: While the Chinese automotive giant BYD caused a stir this week with an AI-powered driving assistant, established players and niche players alike are fighting for their future viability. Whether in the race for clean drive technologies, strategic raw material partnerships, the integration of artificial intelligence, or higher margins – the challenges are diverse. In Germany, in particular, there is a sense of crisis. Therefore, we take a look at two major German automotive companies, as well as an important supplier of a critical raw material for e-mobility.

Global stock boom, Germany votes – Watch out for Mercedes-Benz, Argo Living, thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall, and Hensoldt!
The stock market started the new year at full speed. The DAX index reached 22,900 points in February, which is in line with some analysts' year-end targets. Liquidity is high and sentiment remains buoyant despite all the negative events in the real world. The federal elections are just around the corner, with the prospect of a grand coalition with green or yellow enrichment. The people of Germany hope for a big change, but none of our politicians have the stature of a Donald Trump, who establishes new conditions by the second. The likelihood is high that coalition negotiations will take longer than we believe today, and the uncertainty surrounding the German economy will likely continue for a while. It will be interesting to see whether Germany ever experiences a real "double whammy". After all, there are enough problems to solve, but so far, the will and courage are lacking. Here you will find a selection of titles that could cause a stir even after the election.

BYD, Benton Resources, Nordex – Copper Boom: The hidden treasure of the greentech industry
In a world balancing between climate targets and geopolitical tensions, three companies are working on the future of the energy and mobility transition and depend on critical raw materials like copper. While the 2025 German federal election is reigniting the debate on renewable energies – with demands for clear framework conditions for wind power and critical voices from the political arena – other players are pushing ahead with disruptive technologies. BYD showcases the future with AI-driven assistance systems. Benton Resources is unlocking key resources for green technologies like copper, nickel, zinc, and gold, and Nordex receives record orders despite uncertain markets. These companies have more in common than their focus on sustainability: they represent a new era of innovation in which strategic decisions made today determine tomorrow's competitiveness.

BYD, First Phosphate, AppLovin – Unstoppable
After the numbers season reached its peak last week, the US stock markets remained closed due to Presidents' Day, which is celebrated every year on the third Monday in February and honors the Presidents of the United States, particularly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Nevertheless, the markets were in turmoil, partly due to US Vice President J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. The Ukrainian index continued to rise on the back of expected peace talks between the US and Russia, while the DAX continued its record streak, surpassing 22,700 points.

SHARE PRICES are falling at Plug Power, Nel, and Hensoldt! BUY RECOMMENDATION for BMW partner European Lithium!
Buy opportunity or bankruptcy? Shares in Plug Power, Nel, and Hensoldt are under pressure these days. The former hydrogen favorites are facing one piece of bad news after another. After mass layoffs at Nel, the next catastrophe comes from Plug Power. Investors are also getting nervous about Rheinmetall, Renk, and Hensoldt. Is a correction looming? Analysts believe the correction at Hensoldt should be seen as a buying opportunity. At BMW partner European Lithium, analysts even see potential for a multiple increase in value. The stock, which focuses on lithium and rare earths, has gained traction, and the current consolidation offers an exciting entry opportunity. Even peace in Ukraine could benefit these companies.

Mega rally at First Phosphate, Renk, VW, and BYD with buy signals
The stock markets continue to rise unabated. Those hoping for a correction will be disappointed. Yesterday, the DAX 40 index broke through the 22,000 mark, much faster than many had anticipated. Technology stocks SAP and Siemens remain the driving force, while on the NASDAQ, it is still the Magnificent 7 that is setting the tone. Selection is now key. We turn our attention to the upcoming battery materials supplier, First Phosphate, as well as stocks like Renk, VW, and BYD. While VW is in the middle of restructuring, BYD is continuing on its journey. The defense industry remains interesting, especially Renk. Where should one invest now?

BYD, Power Nickel, Rheinmetall – Top high flyers with further potential
After the outstanding stock market years of 2023 and 2024, many market participants assumed there would be a sharp correction on the stock markets at the beginning of the year. So far, however, both the DAX and the Dow Jones have proved the pessimists wrong and continued their upward trends despite increasing political and economic uncertainties. Although valuations in general, such as the Shiller P/E ratio, which is at the second-highest level in its history, already appear ambitious, there are still opportunities for disproportionate price increases in some companies.

Siemens Energy, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium: short-term pressure, long-term opportunities
Even though the lithium price is at rock bottom, many indicators are signalling a long-term recovery of the lithium market. Demand for lithium-ion batteries is being fueled by the increased use of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energies. At the same time, producers are already reacting with project delays and mine closures, which could create short-term supply bottlenecks. Given that the EU sources 79% of its lithium from China, a possible trade war should prompt the EU to seek alternatives. Analysts expect a stabilization by 2026 at the latest as the energy transition is progressing. Those who believe in the further electrification of the world should invest now, as the long-term prospects are promising.
