Power Nickel, Mercedes-Benz, BYD - No electromobility without nickel
Nickel has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years and has become a key component of electromobility. While the demand for environmentally friendly vehicles is steadily increasing, nickel is becoming increasingly important as an indispensable component in batteries. Nickel contributes to achieving higher energy density in batteries, which translates into greater driving range. It also allows for a reduction in the amount of cobalt in the batteries, making electric vehicles even more environmentally friendly. Therefore, we look at a future nickel producer and analyze Mercedes-Benz and BYD in terms of opportunities and risks.

Innovative technologies and raw materials: BASF, Almonty Industries and Volkswagen in focus
BASF, through its subsidiary BASF Mining Solutions, has launched a new process for extracting raw materials in the mining industry. With it, the chemical company increases speed and accuracy in the extraction of valuable raw materials. One valuable raw material is the critical metal tungsten, which is used mainly in aerospace technology. Shares of Almonty Industries, the world's leading tungsten mine operator, have shot up 11.32% over the past month. What is triggering this strong demand among investors? Meanwhile, in terms of demand, Volkswagen is feeling immense competitive pressure in the EV segment. To ensure that the Group does not lose the race, CEO Oliver Blume is opting for drastic measures.

Porsche share, Globex Mining, Bayer AG - Who offers the most profitable return?
Despite good figures, economic turbulence in the major customer China continues to make Porsche cautious about its forecasts for the coming year. The situation is quite different for the explorer Globex Mining, which has a mineral property with the valuable raw material vanadium in its portfolio. Vanadium is used in nuclear power plants, aircraft and spacecraft. Its 1% interest in a mineral property that can generate an expected annual free cash flow of USD 235 million for the next 21 years puts it in a good position. The net present value in this account from the interest is also positive. Bayer, on the other hand, has lost another glyphosate lawsuit. Find out what is so significant about this case here.

Analysts love cash flow stocks: Nel, Volkswagen, Saturn Oil + Gas
What do investors and analysts dislike in times of high interest rates? Losses and debt. By contrast, they love high cash flow. Free cash flow. With it, a company can finance itself, pay off debt or distribute money to shareholders. And this is precisely Nel's problem. While the loss has been reduced, the Norwegians are still a long way from generating positive cash flow. But analysts still see potential. Analysts see more than 100% upside potential for Saturn Oil & Gas. The oil producer is developing into a cash flow monster, and the upcoming quarterly figures should be convincing again. Volkswagen is also winning over experts. Can the VW share really double? However, there is also a sell recommendation.

First Phosphate, FREYR Battery, Mercedes Benz - Open road for electromobility
Canada's First Phosphate Corp. has secured USD 170 million in potential financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to advance its ambitious plans to create a strategic reserve of purified phosphoric acid in the North American lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery market. FREYR Battery is also pushing into the US market, moving forward with the merger of its Delaware subsidiary. In Germany, road tolls will be introduced as a CO2 tax starting December 1, 2023. Mercedes-Benz is not fully reimbursing the tolls to its haulers. On the contrary, they have something truly monumental in mind...

New stock favorites? BYD, JinkoSolar, dynaCERT
Hydrogen, electromobility and solar energy are without doubt among the absolute industries of the future. The growth prospects for the coming years are excellent. However, companies from all these sectors are currently struggling on the stock market. Today, we take a look at new and old favorites. BYD's preliminary quarterly figures were compelling, and analysts are giving their approval. JinkoSolar is evolving into the number one in the solar sector, and the Chinese can be pleased about new orders. There is also positive news at dynaCERT. The hydrogen and emission reduction specialist could even be on the verge of a game-changer.

Rheinmetall, Power Nickel, Nio - The situation is getting critical
The further escalating conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, as well as tensions in the economic relations of global powers, are placing enormous strain on global supply chains. China's dominance in product manufacturing is becoming increasingly apparent, which must be minimized in the future. Last week, for example, the Middle Kingdom said it will require export licenses for some graphite products to protect national security, surprising everyone with another attempt to control supplies of critical minerals.

Attention, take advantage of the sell-off now! Bombed-out prices at JinkoSolar, SolarEdge, Manuka Resources and BYD!
This has not happened for a long time: Lower prices among the "Who's Who" of international technology stocks. Investors who had bet on the endless upswing of well-known growth stocks have taken a beating in the last 6 weeks. But not every fallen angel is excessively overvalued! In times of high volatility and rising interest rates, it pays to take a clear look at robust business models. And as we all know, these are to be found among the market leaders. We welcome the necessary price corrections because they present better opportunities for prudent investors. However, the stock market must now compete with a safe EU bond yield of just under 4%. The risk capital for equities is, therefore, no longer as abundant due to attractive fixed-income alternatives. We assess the opportunities for a few selected stocks.

Stocks for bargain hunters: BYD, JinkoSolar and Desert Gold
What do renewable energies and gold have in common? Despite attractive future prospects, shares from both sectors have taken a beating in recent months. Often for no apparent reason. This opens up opportunities for bargain hunters with a bit of patience. For example, with shares like JinkoSolar and Desert Gold. Both companies are historically cheap. JinkoSolar has just reported a new sales record and wants to grow further. Desert Gold lures with an almost ridiculously low valuation of its gold resources and continues to drill. A rebound or takeover beckons for patient investors. And BYD? The Chinese are on track to displace Tesla as the world's No. 1 e-car manufacturer. Nevertheless, the stock is stuck, and in Europe, the EU is investigating illegal subsidies.

Investing against the tide! Rheinmetall, BYD and Power Nickel with 100% potential?
In challenging times, it takes a lot of nerve to weatherproof one's investment strategy. Despite all the crises, however, there is no denying that the key underlying trends in the economy will continue. Occasional setbacks, therefore, always provide new entry levels for the agile investor, naturally in the conviction that we in Germany can do little to change the global situation and its upheavals. Life goes on, and stock market prices have to find a new equilibrium. In the area of defense and mobility solutions, Rheinmetall, BYD and Power Nickel stand out with good positioning. Where do the opportunities lie?
