Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, RWE - How three energy giants are redefining the future of global energy supply
Only a few days remain until January 20, 2025. The day the new US president will be sworn in and can push ahead with another energy turnaround. In North America, energy companies like Saturn Oil & Gas are expanding, and their products are driving the economy. With its blueprint strategy, Saturn ensures continuous value creation and is investing around CAD 320 million in further oil drilling projects for 2025. The clear financial strategy also provides more flexibility for the coming year. In Europe, the shift toward renewable energies continues. Nel ASA boasts full order books thanks to demand from Asia, but analysts remain cautious given the lack of hydrogen supply infrastructure in Europe. However, the new EU supply chain law could reshape the market conditions in favour of Nel ASA, as initial threats from Qatar indicate. As a global player, RWE continues to do business where it is most lucrative. The Company has achieved a milestone in the US, and in Italy, RWE is bringing a fresh breeze to the energy sector. Where investors should act now.

Myriad Uranium - Uranium prices are exploding! What is the outlook for Nel ASA and RWE?
Uranium is increasingly coming into focus. Recently, the largest uranium producers, Kazatomprom and Cameco, revised their production forecasts downward, and this at a time when the world needs more energy. Data centres for quantum computing, crypto mining, artificial intelligence, and electromobility are driving the world's hunger for electricity. At the same time, some large tech companies are researching modular nuclear reactors, which could further boost the demand for uranium. While the uranium sector is performing well, 2024 has been a tough year for hydrogen and renewable energies. We look at one company from each sector and examine the prospects for 2025.

SHARE PRICE RALLY 2025 or cash in? Siemens Energy, thyssenkrupp nucera, Myriad Uranium
Will the Siemens Energy share continue its price rally in 2025? This year, the Siemens Energy share was the top performer in the DAX. The problems in the wind sector were outshone by the boom in the gas and grid business. Now, the major shareholder wants to cash in! What do analysts say? The chances are good that the rally will continue for Myriad Uranium. The newsflow is positive, analysts see a lot of potential, and a capital increase was easily placed. Analysts are divided on the upside potential for thyssenkrupp nucera. Is a 100% rally possible for the German hydrogen hopeful?

RWE, F3 Uranium, Super Micro Computer – Profiting from the world's growing hunger for energy
Global energy demand is skyrocketing, fuelled by technological progress and the enormous appetite for electricity for electric vehicles and AI-powered data centres, whose consumption could more than double by 2028. At the same time, the energy transition faces unresolved challenges: Weather-dependent wind and solar energy supply electricity in an unreliable manner, bureaucratic hurdles slow down the expansion, and without sufficient storage, alternatives for the base load are lacking. Given these developments, nuclear power is increasingly seen as the only reliable option for both satisfying the growing hunger for energy and ensuring a stable and climate-friendly energy supply in the long term.

Ballard Power, F3 Uranium, Nordex – Alternative energies with a clean rebound
While the stock market is still shining, it is dark in Germany - not referring to the current government still in office but to the weather. In addition to the fact that the sun is hardly showing, the wind is also blowing even weaker than usual. As a result, significantly less energy is being generated during the dark doldrums. Gas and coal-fired power plants have to step in here, but their electricity production is considerably more expensive. A clean alternative embraced by the rest of the world is nuclear energy. While the traffic light coalition took the last reactors off the grid, the expansion of uranium production is being strongly pushed there.

Bull's eye in 2025: Nuclear energy and hydrogen! Watch out for Nel, Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Mercedes and BMW
The production of hydrogen using nuclear energy is seen as a promising way to create a flexible energy carrier in a climate-neutral manner. Especially in areas where renewable energy sources are insufficient or a continuous power supply is required, hydrogen demonstrates its strengths. The carbon footprint of hydrogen from nuclear energy is comparable to that of renewable sources such as wind and solar since nuclear power plants operate almost emission-free. Unlike wind or solar energy, nuclear power can generate electricity around the clock because it is not dependent on weather conditions. This helps to avoid so-called dark doldrums, such as the one recently experienced in Germany on Friday. In countries such as France and Japan, nuclear energy is already considered an option for hydrogen production to advance the decarbonisation of industries. Which stocks are coming to the fore as a result?

Copper shortage, Crypto, and a hunger for energy! What is in store for Super Micro Computer, MicroStrategy, SAP and XXIX Metal Corp. in 2025?
Sharp increases in energy commodities are hindering electrification projects. Copper is indispensable for these initiatives and will become one of the key resources driving innovation in the coming years. Without the red metal, electric motors cannot be built and huge amounts of electricity cannot be transported over land. Copper is also a critical component in designing a completely new energy infrastructure. Trends such as Web 3.0, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are further exacerbating the energy shortage. Significant demand increases are expected in China and India, whose resource hunger impacts the entire planet. The race against time is already in its third round; new copper deposits must be developed urgently! Which stocks are at the forefront?

The shooting stars of the energy transition – 325% gains with Siemens Energy, dynaCERT, Nel ASA, and Plug Power
The NASDAQ technology exchange has been the standout performer this year. With gains of over 30%, the past 12 months will go down in history as a remarkable rally. Few doubt that the mood will deteriorate again significantly by the end of the year. The spotlight was on high-tech stocks and stocks that incorporate the megatrend of "artificial intelligence" into their business model. However, one selected DAX stock was able to outperform the NASDAQ by a factor of 10: Siemens Energy. The losers in this mix were clearly the once-popular hydrogen stocks, Nel ASA and Plug Power, which each lost around 50%. Yet, these could be among the rising stars of the new year. Meanwhile, dynaCERT has already seen significant gains in 2024, but there is still plenty of upside potential. A detailed analysis reveals why!

RWE, Globex Mining, Plug Power - Energy transition: Euphoria, disillusionment, and investment opportunities
The path to a sustainable energy supply is not linear but is characterized by successes, setbacks and surprising developments. Despite possible supply risks, the German energy giant RWE is posting record earnings of EUR 4 billion (EBITDA) and is a thorn in the side of the Federal Cartel Office due to its market dominance. With its "mineral bank" model, mining specialist Globex Mining proves how traditional commodity businesses can also develop sustainably. The mining sector faces a double challenge: on the one hand, the industry contributes massively to the increased carbon footprint, while on the other hand, it is indispensable for the energy transition, as the demand for metals for batteries and renewable energies is increasing dramatically. With over 252 projects and smart royalty rights, Globex Mining is growing continuously, and its enterprise value is increasing. Hydrogen pioneer Plug Power, on the other hand, is struggling with a significant 20% revenue drop despite ambitious growth targets. "Hope dies last," one thinks when considering the perseverance of Plug Power's management. Where do investment opportunities lie?

WINNERS of the CLIMATE CONFERENCE: Siemens Energy, Plug Power, dynaCERT!
The CO2 markets and emissions trading are among the few winners of the climate conference in Baku. The dynaCERT share should benefit, as the technology company could face a surge of orders in 2025, potentially leading to a revaluation of the stock. Siemens Energy has recently demonstrated just how quickly and dramatically a revaluation can occur. According to analysts, the rally is far from over. In contrast, Plug Power faces an uncertain future. While experts remain optimistic about the hydrogen sector, the US company is not among their recommendations. So, who are the true beneficiaries of the hydrogen boom?
