Sustainability as an opportunity for returns: How Nordex, Globex Mining, and SFC Energy are shaping the energy transition
The energy transition is no longer just an ecological promise – it has become a return factor for savvy investors. Three companies are at the forefront of this development. The Nordex Group is driving the expansion of wind energy: With a new 94 MW order for Canada and wind turbines that can survive freezing winters thanks to an anti-icing system, the Hamburg-based company is demonstrating its position as a global player with over 57 GW of installed capacity. Globex Mining Enterprises of Québec acts as a kind of mineral bank for the energy future: Over 200 properties provide raw materials for batteries and technologies. With a recent buyback of gold royalties, CEO Jack Stoch is increasing the value of his company, much to the delight of shareholders. SFC Energy of Bavaria relies on innovation with fuel cells: The EFOY technology – "Energy for You" – supplies remote regions such as northern Canada with quiet, clean energy. A CAD 5 million order further underscores the success of the growing company. Sustainability and profit merge into a concept that inspires investors. Eco-friendly investing and generating returns – are these three stocks the key to the energy future?

Bloom Energy, Benton Resources, Alibaba – Exceptional performance
The scandal in the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US President Trump was a defining topic in recent days. The outcome remains uncertain from both a political and economic perspective. Will the missed peace talks now lead to a further downward spiral, or will negotiations be resumed, which could lead to an early end to the terrible war in Ukraine and a rally in the markets? Unaffected by global politics, several companies demonstrated strong momentum and could continue their upward trajectory.

Copper as the key: Siemens Energy, Benton Resources, and Hensoldt are shaping the energy transition and security
Copper is a key factor in shaping the energy transition and security. The green transformation, in particular, is increasing demand. Siemens Energy is driving sustainable electrification and uses recycled material for circuit breakers in its energy transition products - a small step with a big impact. The Company is strengthening its market position in the circular economy and securing a billion-dollar order volume. The Canadian mineral exploration company Benton Resources is profiting from the raw materials boom and expanding its copper deposits in the Great Burnt project in Canada. Experts predict an imminent copper shortage due to the energy transition. Benton Resources can now position itself as a future supplier for this industry. Hensoldt, a specialist in sensor technologies in defense and aerospace, is deepening its drone expertise by cooperating with QinetiQ, thus ensuring geopolitical stability. Read on to find out how these companies combine sustainability, raw materials, and defense.

RWE, First Nordic Metals, and Siemens Energy: Europe's new energy independence is gathering pace
Germany is still feeling the effects of the sabotage of the Russian gas pipelines years later. Expensive energy costs are driving industry to the brink of ruin. Solutions are needed to bring the European country back to the forefront economically. Energy company RWE is setting a good example by launching large-scale battery storage systems in two cities that can provide energy for critical infrastructure within seconds. This project demonstrates how Germany is future-proofing its energy supply. First Nordic Metals is working to make Europe independent of raw materials and is conducting exploration projects with a focus on gold in Scandinavia. This precious metal offers a solid hedge, especially in times of crisis. Adam Cegielski, recently appointed president, strengthens the team with his 25 years of industry experience. Siemens Energy is banking on growth on the French coast: the Company is investing EUR 200 million to build offshore wind turbine rotor blades. This will not only create 200 new jobs but also send a strong signal for Europe's path toward energy independence.

FOMO Rally in energy and defense! Hensoldt, Siemens Energy, First Hydrogen
Shares in the energy and defense sectors continue to be among the most rapidly rising stocks. First Hydrogen has catch-up potential. The hydrogen specialist is currently expanding its business model and plans to use nuclear power, a potential the market has yet to recognize. Siemens Energy is also profiting from the world's hunger for energy. The latest figures are convincing; the free cash flow is exploding, and even the problem child Gamesa is picking itself up. However, analysts believe the stock might face some headwinds. The Hensoldt share is also unstoppable, riding the FOMO rally in Rheinmetall & Co. The share price surge accelerated again at the start of the week. NATO countries are preparing for years of massive investments. Can this momentum continue?

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, BP – Here are the opportunities of the new US energy policy
The global energy transition is at a crossroads. Electric vehicles will likely prevail in the long term, but not everywhere and not through mandates. The US aims to provide affordable energy and wants to promote oil and gas production while focusing on nuclear power in the form of small modular reactors. With these mini-nuclear power plants, hydrogen could be produced cheaply, taking the technology a decisive step forward. This could solve some of the issues electric vehicles face, which would be a boon for the transportation industry, which is subject to green regulations. We are, therefore, looking at the largest US hydrogen player today and taking a closer look at First Hydrogen, which specializes in hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles. Finally, we will analyze BP, a major oil producer.

RWE, Nova Pacific Metals, Alibaba - How wind power, raw materials, and AI will shape the future
The energy transition and technological progress are shaping the global economic landscape in the first quarter. The German energy company RWE is investing in an innovative offshore wind farm control center on the German North Sea coast that will control the growing fleet of wind turbines from 2026. Renewable energies consume a lot of copper in their construction, bringing the explorer Nova Pacific Metals into focus. The Canadian company is preparing to start drilling at its strategically important Lara VMS project with a high copper content on Vancouver Island. The timing is ideal, as global demand for copper will increase to 50 million tons by 2035 – driven by energy transition projects like those of RWE, where a modern wind turbine alone requires 30 tons of copper. With secured financing of CAD 2.86 million and experienced expertise in the team, the chances for the drilling and further measures are excellent. The Chinese retail giant Alibaba is duly recognized as a global technology leader by the US Fortune Magazine and is ranked 3rd in the Internet Services and Retail category. What the publishers considered particularly important has to do with an AI highlight...

Siemens Energy, XXIX Metal, Volkswagen – Is the energy transition in danger due to US tariffs?
The euro is falling, mainly due to the recent interest rate cut by the ECB. This puts the interest rate difference at around 1.5%. At the same time, a trade war is looming due to the new US tariff policy. After America raised tariffs on imports from Canada to 25% and on energy to 10%, Justin Trudeau, in turn, raised tariffs by 25%. In addition, measures in the raw materials and energy sectors are being considered. For example, refineries may no longer process US oil. The Canadians supply 85% of their copper to the US. If supplies were to be stopped, this would potentially drive up copper prices and, at the same time, jeopardize the energy transition.

Watch out! VW and BMW are turning, Benton Resources is stepping on the gas, while Nordex and Siemens Energy are on the sidelines
For the German economy, a 180-degree shift in economic policy is needed to stop the ongoing migration of industries abroad. However, this requires signs of a consistent refocusing on burning issues, which neither the parties with a claim to the government nor the opposition can really present. International investors have refocused on European markets at the beginning of the year, as reforms are expected. The premature praise for Donald Trump has generated new highs in the US, but now the NASDAQ seems to be running out of steam. Germany, as the laggard in terms of economic growth, offers very low valuations that have rarely been seen for longer periods. We highlight some opportunities.

DeepSeek hits right in the eye! Selective correction on the way! Watch out for Nel, Siemens Energy, First Hydrogen, and SMCI
The Chinese language model DeepSeek is stirring up the AI market. The entire tech sector is reacting nervously and showing significant price losses. Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving indispensable in many areas. Large language models like ChatGPT are already helping to solve complex tasks, and their further development promises enormous advances for the economy and society. The new Chinese language model is seen as a serious challenge to US dominance in AI and threatens the dominance of the hyped US companies. The AI assistant introduced on January 10th recently overtook rival ChatGPT as the top-rated free software application in Apple's App Store in the US. A shot across the bow for Nvidia and associated companies. Some green energy stocks are also coming into focus. Is it time to jump on board now?
