AI data centers need nuclear power — 70-100% more energy by 2050! Spotlight on American Atomics, SAP, and ServiceNow
The global economy is in the midst of a new infrastructure supercycle, in which the new source of productivity is being sought in the widespread use of digitalization and AI. The physical foundations of extensive AI use are creating unprecedented demand for system components related to energy generation and storage. Electricity, grids, cooling, and raw materials—the demand seems endless. Yet just a few years ago, climate goals were still a major concern. With the explosive growth in demand from data centers, not only are energy sources like nuclear power coming to the fore, but also critical metals for turbines, cables, storage systems, and chips. Goldman Sachs expects data center electricity demand to more than double by the end of the decade—a scenario that makes CO₂-free baseload power a matter of strategic survival. Although nuclear power plants have been largely dismissed in the EU, they are once again moving to the center of the debate as reliable electricity suppliers and are becoming serious partners for tech companies. A deeper look is worthwhile.

Home Depot, Zefiro Methane, Rheinmetall – Security Boom and Energy Transition Spark New Price Potential
The next major stock market rally could emerge from completely different future markets. While rising defence spending worldwide is triggering a historic investment boom in the defence sector, the fight against methane emissions, fueled by billions in government subsidies, is evolving into a massive growth market. At the same time, falling interest rates and economic stabilization could massively revive the struggling real estate and renovation sectors. Whether in security, environmental technology, or consumer goods, several megatrends are converging, creating an explosive environment with enormous price potential for the coming years.

Panic in the Steel Sector - Geopolitical Dependencies Threaten Production: Strategic Resources, ArcelorMittal, and thyssenkrupp in Focus
Enormous regulatory pressure to decarbonize, escalating punitive tariffs, and a looming supply shortage of critical alloy metals are driving profound changes in the steel industry. The conversion of traditional blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces powered by electricity poses a challenge for corporations. The recycling of simple steel scrap can cause disruptive copper impurities to accumulate in the melt. The industry urgently requires massive quantities of high-purity pig iron for dilution to continue producing high-quality steel. However, since the supply chains for vanadium, a critical metal for the energy transition and alloys, are almost entirely controlled by autocratic states, Western companies are under pressure to act. Fortunately, the Canadian commodities company Strategic Resources is positioning itself as a supplier from multiple secure jurisdictions.

Boom in the Oil Market: How TotalEnergies, Zefiro Methane, and Shell Are Benefiting!
The price of oil has remained around the USD 100 per barrel mark since the start of the war in the Persian Gulf. According to market experts and CEOs of various companies, shortages could occur in Europe in the coming weeks. This applies to both the supply of Europe's vehicle fleet and air traffic. That is because the price of jet fuel has nearly doubled since the end of February. Refineries in Rotterdam are therefore running at full capacity. But even in this market situation, there are winners. Many oil companies posted record profits in the first quarter. We are therefore taking a look today at the stocks of TotalEnergies and Shell. Moreover, the oil industry also has its downsides. In North America, Zefiro Methane is benefiting from this, as it plays an important role in combating emissions.

Time to Sell Nordex? Analysts Turn Bullish on SFC Energy and dynaCERT!
The conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is putting pressure on global energy markets. The search for alternative energy sources and ways to conserve energy is underway not only in Europe but also in Asia. This is a key driver behind the stock performance of dynaCERT. Analysts see the potential for a significant re-rating of the stock, possibly even a multi-fold increase. A similar revaluation scenario has already been demonstrated impressively by Nordex in recent years, rising from a near-bankruptcy case to a valuation of over EUR 10 billion. However, momentum there now appears to be fading, and some analysts recommend selling the stock. At the same time, SFC Energy is benefiting from a major contract win, leading to a raised earnings forecast. The stock is in strong rally mode, with analysts still seeing further upside potential.

Siemens Energy, RE Royalties, and E.ON – Your Ticket to the Lucrative Future of Energy Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is booming—and with it, lucrative opportunities for investors. Despite rising capital costs, global decarbonization continues to drive the expansion of wind and solar power plants unabated. The crucial question is no longer whether, but how to turn this transformation into profit. The answer lies in the interplay of technology, financing, and grid operations. Three pioneers show how it is done: Siemens Energy as the technological backbone, RE Royalties as a creative investor, and E.ON as the heart of power distribution.

Bottlenecks in the Hydrogen Network: What Linde and BASF Could Learn from A.H.T. Syngas
The "green" transformation of the European chemical industry is in danger of failing. Although the Federal Network Agency approved the German core hydrogen network—which is set to grow gradually to 9,040 km of hydrogen pipelines between 2025 and 2032—the actual rollout of this critical hydrogen route is not proceeding as planned. Without the rapid expansion of key hydrogen pipelines, the industry's transformation goals are virtually unattainable. While the infrastructure is slow in coming, regulatory pressure continues to intensify under the European RED III Directive. As delays mount in large-scale infrastructure projects, energy-intensive industrial companies are increasingly being forced to explore alternative solutions. Decentralized solutions are emerging as viable options. One company that could attract growing attention from both industry players and investors is A.H.T. Syngas.

Act Now or Miss Out – Sharp Correction in Siemens Energy, RE Royalties, and Nel ASA Amid Ongoing Upswing
The global energy transition is increasingly facing a structural financing challenge. While governments worldwide are announcing ambitious decarbonization targets, the cost of capital is rising dramatically. However, higher interest rates, skyrocketing government debt, and a weaker economy are fundamentally altering the risk assessment of long-term infrastructure projects. According to analyses by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global investment in clean energy would have to accelerate significantly by 2030 to keep the agreed-upon climate targets within reach. Yet this is precisely where the dilemma begins: many countries have long since reached their fiscal limits. In Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, capital markets are therefore growing increasingly skeptical of heavily subsidized transition models. Against this backdrop, we take a broader view beyond the "green revolution"—where can solid returns still realistically be expected?

SolarEdge, American Atomics, Verbio – The Battle for the Future of Energy Begins Now
Global energy demand is skyrocketing. AI data centers, electric mobility, and advancing digitalization, in particular, are driving electricity consumption to ever-new record levels. At the same time, existing supply systems are coming under increasing pressure. This is currently creating enormous opportunities across several future-oriented industries simultaneously. While uranium and nuclear fuel supplies could benefit from the renaissance of nuclear energy, modern storage technologies, solar infrastructure, and alternative energy sources are also coming back into sharp focus for investors. Government subsidy programs, geopolitical tensions, and infrastructure investments worth billions could give rise to new favourites in the long term.
