Nordex, Power Nickel, Verbio - On the verge of a Breakthrough
Both politics and business are taking significant risks in their efforts to achieve climate goals. Fossil fuels are to be replaced by alternative energy sources as quickly as possible. In turn, the consumption of metallic raw materials is increasing to build renewable, energy-efficient systems. As Western countries increasingly strive to become independent of imports from Russia or China, domestic producers of critical raw materials, in particular, are likely to emerge as long-term winners.

Hydrogen is considered the future, but is it too early for pure-play stocks to enter? Companies like Plug Power and Nel are expected to continue posting substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Both are valued in the billions, and both will likely have to carry out a capital increase before they reach break-even. By contrast, oil companies are earning brilliantly. Shell prioritizes margin over revenue, which is winning over analysts. Similarly, Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil & Gas is receiving praise from analysts. Their performance in the second quarter was slightly above analysts' expectations. Will the Canadians soon pay a monster dividend?

GoviEx, Siemens Energy, Delivery Hero - Which stocks have the greatest growth potential
Seamless energy supply has become a competitive advantage. France, for example, gets 70% of its electricity from uranium. With an outstanding uranium recovery rate of 88% in Zambia, GoviEx supplies the world with this valuable energy source. The Company focuses on the exploration and development of uranium deposits in Africa. Renewables, however, are not quite taking off for them. Siemens Energy is facing significant cost problems in its onshore wind turbine business. Damages to rotor blades and bearings could cost the Company up to EUR 4.5 billion. People always need to eat.
