Greentech rally restarts again! Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, SMA and JinkoSolar - critical metals are in demand
Greentech stocks have been a hot topic since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by the Joe Biden Administration. That is because, besides the EU, the US now also wants to step on the gas pedal significantly. It is all about investing in the future of climate protection. This primarily involves technologies for alternative energy generation, such as solar or wind power plants. Under the IRA, US investments in the future will be subject to a tax bonus. For industry, the key point remains the availability of strategically important metals, as they are as rare as they are highly sought after. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Clean energy clearly in buy mode! Plug Power, Siemens Energy, Regenx Tech, Nordex - Clean returns instead of summer blues!
The energy turnaround will be challenging, as is now well-known in Berlin. Those who wish to completely abandon fossil energy supply must make significant investments in the future. Alternative technologies for energy generation are already on the horizon, but the implementation up to the grid connection is complicated and requires resources. Unfortunately, the anticipated reduction in CO2 savings will only materialize after more than 15 years of operation, so the expected positive environmental scenario is also a long way off. It is also evident that high-quality and rare raw materials must be transferred to a circular economy, as their availability is limited. Where are the opportunities for investors in the long process of energy rebalancing?

Powerful movement through the flood of figures - Siemens Energy, Almonty Industries, Nio
The second quarter number season is at its peak, and surprises on both sides promise high volatility. BioNTech, the vaccine manufacturer, was hit hard after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Siemens Gamesa's wind power business also negatively affected the parent company's balance sheet. There are currently plenty of opportunities in the market, especially for traders.

New hydrogen hype! More than 100% possible with Plug Power, dynaCERT, ThyssenKrupp Nucera and Nel ASA
While the use of wind and solar has long been established, this step is still to come for hydrogen. The EU's recent decision to produce around 20 million metric tons of the highly flammable fuel by the year 2030 is a major step forward. The aim is to replace natural gas supplies from Russia. This move is expected to help the new energy source establish itself more rapidly within the EU. Currently, 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas are used in Europe to produce so-called grey hydrogen. According to recent studies, a rapid switch to green hydrogen would make it possible to replace around 12% of gas consumption by 2030. Quite impressive! Which stocks will benefit from the approaching boom?

RWE, Regenx Tech Corp., Varta - Under the spell of the numbers
The number season for the first half of 2023 is currently reaching its peak. Google parent Alphabet was able to beat analysts' expectations. In contrast, Deutsche Bank reported lower profits than expected. Due to weaker potash fertilizer prices, K+S AG had to lower its profit forecasts. In addition, there were further surprises that will likely affect future share prices.

Climate protection, yes, but why is the plan not working out? Nikola, Nordex, Saturn Oil + Gas and JinkoSolar in focus
The world often presents itself differently than it really is. In Germany, for example, there is a shortage of oil and gas, which is a major burden for industry and private consumers. Renewable energies now account for 56% of the installed nominal value of all power plants, but unfortunately, they cannot meet baseload demand. If there is little sunshine and no wind, gas and coal-fired power plants must be shifted up a gear to meet energy consumption. Oil, in particular, remains the base material for 100,000 products that contain plastic. So the green dream of complete independence from fossil fuels will not happen for a while. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Battery technology - but sustainable! Volkswagen, First Phosphate, SMA Solar
Germany's former flagship industry is suffering: Shifts are being cut at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau. The reason: customers remain reluctant to buy new cars. They are not yet convinced by many e-cars. Added to this is the price shock. Using three companies as examples, we explore how it could go on for car manufacturers like Volkswagen and how investors can still bet on e-mobility.

Nel share is unstoppable, but money is being made at BYD and Saturn Oil + Gas
Yesterday's quarterly figures from Nel were well received by the stock market. As a result, the share price reacted with a jump of over 8%. The hydrogen pureplay increased sales by 159% to NOK 475 million. The electrolyser business grew even more strongly. However, the net loss also rose significantly to NOK 342 million, but investors seemed to overlook this fact yesterday. The situation is different at BYD. The Company made a profit of billions in the first half of the year and continues to expand vigorously. The price war with Tesla does not seem to be leaving any impact. Oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas is also earning splendidly. In the first quarter, EBITDA increased by an impressive 332%. The Company aims to be debt-free by 2025. Will a substantial dividend come then?

Hydrogen makes headlines: Plug Power, ThyssenKrupp Nucera, Desert Gold, Nikola - Huge price swings!
Gains of over 100% in a single day, such occurrences are rare on the NASDAQ. The stock in question is no stranger: Nikola Motors. Currently, it is mainly the investment commitments for hydrogen projects that are causing investor excitement. In the case of Nikola, it was certainly also a short squeeze, as over 100 million shares had been sold short in recent months. Last Friday, the stock initially surged another 50% on historical volume, but this gain dropped to just 0.3% by closing. High risks, but where are the opportunities?

Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Daimler Truck - Bringing tomorrow's winners into the portfolio today
The energy transition has only just begun. The farewell to fossil fuels is a done deal. Alongside electrification, green hydrogen is expected to play a crucial role in the energy of the future, generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar power. Here, the infrastructure of tomorrow needs to be planned and implemented today. On July 12, the German transmission system operators presented their plan for a hydrogen network for Germany that is to cover a length of 11,200 km. In addition to connecting industrial sites, the plan also calls for the creation of a charging infrastructure for vehicles, as the transportation industry is primarily responsible for CO2 emissions. Investors who position themselves correctly early can profit from the upcoming hydrogen boom.
