The next 200% uranium rally – will there be takeovers soon? Myriad Uranium, Nel, Plug Power, SMCI and JinkoSolar

Somehow, international energy policy has become very complicated for investors. The EU's "Net Zero" plans cannot be achieved solely by expanding renewable energies. Countries with a less pronounced green ideology, like Germany, have rediscovered nuclear power, which was once banned. China, Russia and India even want to double their capacities. Germany's neighboring countries like France, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Poland and Great Britain intend to connect more than 50 new reactors to the grid over the next 10 years. All this suggests a lack of unity in Brussels and raises the question of how to manage the global energy supply for growing populations. For investors, the starting signal in uranium has long since been given. What should dynamic investors look out for now?

Saturn Oil + Gas, Bayer, Siemens Energy: Three companies for balance in volatile times

  • Mining
  • Oil
  • Energy
  • renewableenergies
  • Pharma

In uncertain times like these, a balanced portfolio is crucial for every investor. Also, in view of the upcoming US election, diversification across different sectors is worthwhile to offset fluctuations in the portfolio. Saturn Oil & Gas relies on a combination of share buybacks and targeted acquisitions. With an adjusted EBITDA of approximately CAD 400 million, the Company is demonstrating its financial strength and potential for further growth. By applying for approval of a drug for menopausal symptoms to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Bayer AG is targeting a global market that is expected to grow to a remarkable USD 26.97 billion by 2031. Global player Siemens Energy is focusing on the reorganization of its wind business and its participation in offshore wind energy projects. The early contract extension of CEO Christian Bruch until 2030 underlines the confidence in the current course. Today, we have three companies in focus.

JinkoSolar, Altech Advanced Materials, Nio – The comeback of renewable energies

  • Batteries

With its announcement of plans to revive the struggling economy in the Middle Kingdom, the Chinese government triggered a stock market rally that has been unmatched for over 15 years. In addition to technology stocks, companies in the renewable energy sector, in particular, rose to the top of the stock lists despite future additional tariffs on electric vehicles produced in China by the European Union. The EU Commission aims to boost domestic production. In terms of energy storage, a company "Made in Germany" could cause a stir in the future.

RWE, dynaCERT, Mercedes-Benz: Energy of the future - Hydrogen vs Electric

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility
  • Energy

The energy transition is at the center of the strategies of RWE, dynaCERT, and Mercedes-Benz, each with different emphases. The energy company RWE is driving forward its hydrogen strategy with billions in investment and state subsidies. The Company plans to build electrolysers and hydrogen storage facilities, which, according to its IR Factbook, are the most promising components of its energy mix in the future. dynaCERT and its portfolio company Cipher Neutron are also focusing on innovative hydrogen solutions. Its AEM electrolysis technology, which is being researched in collaboration with Simon Fraser University, promises more efficient and cost-effective methods of hydrogen production. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, is struggling with the weaknesses of electric batteries. A severe fire involving an EV-Mercedes in an underground garage required over 8 hours of firefighting efforts, damaging 108 other vehicles and significantly damaging its reputation in one of its key markets...

Deutsche Rohstoff AG, Saturn Oil + Gas, Siemens Energy - Weak demand offers opportunities

Persistent concerns about slow demand in China led to a sell-off and pushed oil prices below USD 80 per barrel. According to customs data released over the weekend, diesel and gasoline exports from the major oil importer fell sharply in July, driven by lower crude processing due to weak margins. However, this is offset by supply risks related to tensions in the Middle East and the escalation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, which could bring the current correction to a rapid end.

A new global virus threat is waiting in the wings. Bavarian Nordic, a German-Danish biotech company for vaccines, is moving into the spotlight given the WHO's renewed monkeypox warning. Ten million vaccine doses are to be delivered to Africa by 2025. In the energy sector, the latest quarterly results from Saturn Oil & Gas are attracting the attention of investors and analysts. The Canadian company recorded growth of a whopping 50%. Palantir Technologies announced a partnership with Microsoft to provide cloud, AI, and analytics solutions for the US defense and intelligence community. Today, we focus on three industries with growth opportunities.

Siemens Energy tops, Evotec shocks, and what is causing the dynaCERT share to explode?

  • Biotechnology

The Evotec share lost more than 35% yesterday. The share was already trading at a multi-year low before this drop. Investors were particularly shocked by the adjustment to the EBITDA forecast. Additionally, the biotech company indicated that it plans to downsize. This year, Siemens Energy has shown how quickly a difficult situation can be resolved. On the verge of bankruptcy at the end of 2023, it is back on track, although not thanks to renewable energies. In contrast, dynaCERT has yet to see its share price explode. A former Daimler manager will take the helm in the coming days and is expected to secure orders in Europe. Additionally, dynaCERT investors are waiting for VERRA certification.

Germany is not the only country working to develop a sustainable hydrogen market. Economics Minister Robert Habeck recently announced funding for projects totalling EUR 4.6 billion to make the economy climate-neutral. Green hydrogen is set to be a key energy source in the future. The German government projects a hydrogen demand of 95 to 130 TWh annually by 2030 to support industrial decarbonization. This development is not currently reflected in listed companies, which may open up new investment opportunities in the long term.

Plug Power, Saturn Oil + Gas, RWE - Which energy belongs in the portfolio?

  • Mining
  • Oil
  • renewableenergies
  • Energy

The debate about the ideal energy source for the future focuses on hydrogen, oil, and renewable energies. Despite its controversial reputation, oil remains a significant energy source due to its high energy density and well-established infrastructure. Technological advances are also reducing the negative environmental impact. However, renewable energies and hydrogen also offer significant advantages, such as sustainability and low emissions. However, there is a lack of infrastructure to fully exploit the advantages of these technologies. We examine one candidate from each sector and where they stand today.

dynaCERT, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy - Growth drivers in renewable energy: Who is leading?

  • Hydrogen
  • renewableenergies
  • Energy
  • Electromobility

In the hydrogen business, countries are providing government incentives to further promote this innovative technology. For instance, the US Department of Energy is providing around USD 750 million for 52 projects in 24 states. The goal is clear: to make clean hydrogen affordable and to gain international leadership in this sector. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed an emission-reducing technology to retrofit conventional diesel engines to make them emission-free. This bridging technology combines the best of both worlds: the efficiency of diesel engines and the retrofittable and switchable CO₂-reducing drive form. The engine itself remains untouched in its functionality. One reason for the slow progress of large-scale hydrogen projects is the still lacking infrastructure. Siemens Energy can look forward to significant growth in its Grid Technologies division. Volkswagen, on the other hand, is learning that subsidies are not always advantageous, particularly regarding electric vehicles. The plant in Brussels is on the brink of collapse. And then there is a multi-million-dollar compensation claim from a completely different sector.
