Energy Stocks Ride the AI Boom! Price Targets Rise! SMA Solar, Bloom Energy and RE Royalties in Focus
Bloom Energy is not a stock for the faint of heart. Analysts believe the recent correction may have run its course and have raised their price targets accordingly. Analysts are also becoming increasingly optimistic about SMA Solar. The inverter specialist is winning over investors with its battery storage solutions, and management raised its full-year guidance following strong second-quarter results. RE Royalties is another beneficiary of the AI boom in the US. With its innovative business model, the company remains on a strong growth trajectory. The dividend yield exceeds 10%. However, management is dissatisfied with the stock's performance. Is the long-awaited catch-up rally about to begin?

North America is betting on nuclear power! Who stands to benefit? Siemens Energy, Cameco, Constellation Energy, and American Atomics
North America is fully committed to nuclear power. In Canada, a flagship project featuring four small modular reactors (SMRs) is set to supply electricity to 1.2 million households. In addition, large nuclear power plants are also planned. The government is supporting this expansion—just as it is in the US. There, nuclear power capacity is set to quadruple by 2050, rising from the current level of around 100 GW to 400 GW. This presents investment opportunities for investors across the entire value chain, starting with uranium. New mining areas are urgently needed. In addition to Cameco as a core investment, American Atomics is an interesting option. The company is working to establish an integrated value chain. The latest developments in its flagship project are promising. But Siemens Energy also plans to capitalize on the boom. Although the German conglomerate does not supply reactors, it does provide steam turbines, generators, and other equipment for nuclear power plants.

From AI Boom to Copper Boom! Siemens Energy Above EUR 200, Oracle Set to Double? Is Power Metallic Mines Ready to Break Out?
Current figures are rarely decisive on the stock market. The market looks to the future, comparing company announcements or quarterly data against expectations. This drives price movements. Figures from competitors also allow for conclusions to be drawn, but not without limitations. Siemens Energy has recently come under pressure because its competitor, GE Vernova, provided an outlook that fell short of expectations. AI is not always a surefire driver of share price performance. Oracle illustrates this point. Although the numbers are solid, the high level of investment is alarming market participants. They perceive rising risks, which led to a massive share price correction. Analysts now believe the stock could double in value. According to experts, there is even more upside potential at Power Metallic Mines. The Canadian company owns one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. The release of the first resource estimate is expected soon. This could boost the share price. Analysts see nearly 200% upside potential here. How should forward-looking investors position themselves now?

Mercedes-Benz Dangerously Close to the Brink! BYD Posts Strong Numbers! American Atomics Offers the Solution to the Energy Crisis!
Even in July 2026, parts of the world remain in flames. We have to make sure these flames do not spread further or even paralyze the global economy. While Russia intensifies its airstrikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, and continues to rely heavily on drone technology from Iran, the fronts in this "global proxy war" are hardening by the day. These ongoing tensions on Europe's eastern flank and in the Middle East are casting a shadow over global energy markets and throwing them into disarray. The relentless pursuit of energy security and technological independence is a major concern for governments and investors alike. It is precisely in this cauldron of conflict that the future of the global economy and individual companies will be decided. Today, we take a closer look at BYD, Mercedes-Benz, and American Atomics, each of which is writing its own story.

A Renewed Flare-Up of the Iran Conflict Fuels the Oil Industry: BP, Zefiro Methane, and Shell
The renewed escalation in the Middle East is having an immediate ripple effect on the oil and gas markets.

Those who correctly interpret the various business models can profit more than average from the current market movement. A look at BP, Zefiro Methane, and Shell reveals where the greatest leverage lies for investors in the oil industry.

Drones, Energy Storage and Power: Opportunities in SanDisk, Volatus Aerospace and 2G Energy
Markets remain extremely volatile. Two developments are currently dominating investor sentiment. The first is the sharp volatility in AI-related stocks, illustrated by South Korea's KOSPI index, which has recently been swinging by 5% to 8% on an almost daily basis. The second is the conflict in the Persian Gulf, with oil prices continuing to drive both bond and equity markets. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, while access to the Red Sea has become increasingly difficult. These disruptions are influencing prices across asset classes, from crude oil to government bonds. In periods like these, investors should keep a cool head and focus on the themes we have highlighted for months. For the administration in Washington, few priorities are more important than supporting the US stock market. At the same time, it is keen to keep US Treasury yields under control, as higher borrowing costs would make refinancing the country's enormous national debt, now approaching USD 40 trillion, significantly more difficult. Against this backdrop, investors should continue to weigh both the risks and the opportunities in the market. Today, we take a closer look at SanDisk, Volatus Aerospace and 2G Energy.

High Energy Costs: Hedge with Shares in TotalEnergies, dynaCERT, and Nordex
The war in the Gulf has driven energy prices back up. Diesel in Germany is already costing well over EUR 2 per litre again. Even some leading figures in the CDU are now calling for a greater focus on renewable energy. The situation is not easy for business owners. Whether it is an industrial plant or the local shipping company: costs are rising, and the weak economic environment is not exactly making things any easier. Yet change is palpable. Electric vehicle manufacturers are reporting rising sales figures in many parts of Europe. Roof-mounted solar panels and balcony power plants are also gaining popularity again. Investors have the opportunity to hedge against energy costs by investing in equities. That is why we are taking a closer look at the shares of TotalEnergies, dynaCERT, and Nordex.

Weak Trading Week, Strong Banks, and an Interesting Oil Services Company – Bank of America, IBM, J.P. Morgan, Zefiro Methane
The past trading week, from July 13 to 17, 2026, was marked by strong quarterly results from major US banks, rising oil prices, and growing nervousness in the stock markets. While the S&P 500 lost about 1.2% and the Nasdaq fell 3%, several bank stocks managed to outperform the weak broader market. This week, investors are likely to focus once again on oil prices, as the US military campaign in Iran and Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries continue to tighten energy markets. Higher oil prices increase costs across the entire value chain, raising the prospect of stronger inflationary pressures in the months ahead. Read on to find out who is still profiting in this environment.

Bloodbath in Chip Stocks Triggered by Margin Calls? Infineon, Aixtron, LPKF Laser—Is Zefiro Methane Headed for a Golden Future?
Following the historic rally, semiconductor stocks have recently suffered a brutal sell-off. It was not just SK Hynix, Samsung, and SanDisk that came under heavy pressure. German chip-related companies such as Infineon, Aixtron, and LPKF Laser have also lost up to 50% of their value. The decline appears to have been amplified, at least in part, by margin calls in South Korea. What does this mean for going forward? Will the AI boom drive semiconductor stocks higher again? One lesser-known beneficiary of the construction of data centers and energy infrastructure is Zefiro Methane. The company specializes in the remediation of abandoned oil and gas wells, a multi-billion-dollar market in the US. Surging energy demand from the AI sector is creating additional demand for the company's services and could ultimately support higher profit margins. The new partnership with the Well Done Foundation could provide another catalyst, accelerating the company's growth trajectory.

Benefit from the scarcity of energy and raw materials through Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials
The days of speculating on commodity prices are over. Anyone betting on energy and metals today must understand the underlying power dynamics. Who is supplying, who is processing, and who still has access to the key production sites in an era of bloc formation and sanctions? Demand for strategic goods is skyrocketing, while investment in new mines and refineries has stagnated for years. This gap between political will and physical production limits opens up a new playing field for investors. Three completely different business models demonstrate how to capitalize on this trend: Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials.
