DAX on record course, hydrogen sell-off! Plug Power, First Hydrogen, Nel ASA and Daimler Truck on the test bench
The DAX is soaring because most investors expect interest rates to fall. Based on the assumption of slower growth, investors are again focusing on cyclically sensitive stocks at the turn of the year. According to the expectation curves for ECB and FED interest rates, the first downward adjustments are already expected in Q2. The key factors here are the slight fall in inflation and the central banks' desire to cushion the potential downturn. Despite all the euphoria, the desire to buy is currently bypassing the hydrogen sector. Representatives of the sector are the stock market losers of 2023. Is there still a possibility of a quick rebound in 2024? We do the math.

100% upside potential with hydrogen! Siemens Energy, thyssenkrupp and dynaCERT instead of Nel?
Is there about to be a changing of the guard in the hydrogen sector? There are significant doubts that the previous investor favorites, Nel and Plug Power, will get their losses under control. Who could be the new favorites? Siemens Energy and BASF are working on a production plant for CO2-free hydrogen. The partners are now receiving funding from the federal government and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. dynaCERT is having its technology tested under the toughest conditions. The hydrogen and emissions reduction specialist is equipping a team for the Dakar Classic Rally. Could 2024 bring revenue growth? thyssenkrupp nucera shows that you can also earn money with hydrogen. Analysts see almost 100% share price potential.

Getting in now? Hydrogen - The analysis: Nel and Plug Power sold off, rebound at dynaCERT!
It was like a crash. The hype sector hydrogen experienced one of the most significant sell-offs in recent stock market history with a complete reversal to the downside. Parallel to otherwise bullish markets, losses of 70 to 90% were not uncommon. The rationale behind this is understandable and frustrating at the same time: green-oriented governments around the world are trying to accelerate the climate transition but often have the wrong targets in mind due to their lack of expertise. Hydrogen is just a selectively applicable technology and not a solution for global energy supply. Studies show that only the complete, green production of H2 makes any economic sense. Investors have long since seen through the game, and politicians may have to fail before the necessary insight comes. Nevertheless, there are some opportunities for sensible hydrogen applications. We delve into the topic and put current models to the test.

Black Week in the energy sector: Short hydrogen - Long oil! Shell, BP, Prospera Energy, and Plug Power under the microscope
It sounds ambitious! To completely restructure Europe's energy supply, the European Union would need to invest a good EUR 300 billion in alternative energy sources, infrastructure and raw material supply contracts by 2030. As of 2021, Germany alone was importing 45% of its fossil fuels from Russia, which had been a valued partner until then. After the start of the war in Ukraine, this long-standing business partner was removed from the list. However, this also means that the very cheap sources are no longer accessible for Central Europe. Therefore, electricity, heating and mobility prices will remain high while public coffers are empty. Shareholders who bet on Greentech have to endure a crash in the hydrogen sector while fossil fuels are experiencing a renaissance. Where are the medium-term opportunities?

BYD, First Hydrogen, Nikola - Mobility in transition, which shares have long-term potential?
The mobility landscape has changed drastically in recent years. Traditional internal combustion engines are increasingly being replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives such as electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells. These changes will also have far-reaching implications for transportation, altering how we move. Which technology will prevail? We look at three companies with different approaches to the topic and assess which companies are well-positioned for the future.

Plug Power causes hydrogen tremor - Will dynaCERT and Daimler Truck benefit?
For a long time, hydrogen was considered a real alternative to fossil fuels, especially in freight transport, as refueling times were significantly shorter than electric trucks, and the range was often greater. However, this requires suitable infrastructure and a sufficient supply of green hydrogen. Plug Power aims to provide this infrastructure. However, the Company may run out of money before achieving this goal. This creates opportunities for providers of alternative solutions, such as dynaCERT's HydraGEN™ technology, which enables fuel savings and reduces emissions. Daimler Truck could also benefit from the current situation with its electric trucks. We take a closer look at all three companies.

Plug Power with Warning Signals! Should you buy SMA Solar and Altech Advanced Materials shares?
Anyone who had hoped that Plug Power's quarterly figures would herald a recovery in the share price was disappointed. On the contrary, the figures should set alarm bells ringing for shareholders of the hydrogen specialist because the investor favorite is running out of money! Is there still hope? In contrast, SMA Solar and Altech Advanced Materials are performing well. Although the share prices of the solar and battery companies have also fallen, there is positive operational news. Altech has published a strong update on its solid-state battery production plant. SMA is significantly increasing profits, but analysts are not satisfied.

Hydrogen failed! Opportunities for JinkoSolar, Saturn Oil + Gas and Nordex
When Plug Power, the largest company in the new hydrogen technology, announces that it will likely run out of money in 12 months, it is a bombshell for the entire industry. If the big player cannot become profitable, there appear to be technological problems. The rollout is likely to take longer. But the energy problems worldwide still exist. This increases the opportunities for solar energy, the oil industry and possibly wind power. We look at one company from each sector and examine their future prospects.

Plug Power falters, Almonty Industries and Rheinmetall with exclamation marks
The hydrogen sector, which has been touted as having a promising future in terms of achieving climate goals, has been punished in recent months. Following Plug Power's disastrous quarterly figures, many peer group companies have now seen further sell-offs. In contrast, there are rays of hope to report from China in the photovoltaics sector, suggesting that the market leader could be on the verge of a strong turnaround.

Healthcare and Logistics in Focus with Amazon, First Hydrogen, Bayer - Where growth is created
Telemedicine is a blessing for anyone lying in bed with a fever and in need of a doctor or medication. Now, 167 million Americans can benefit from it. Amazon rolled out the telemedicine service to all Prime members in the States this week. To ensure that deliveries arrive on time and with as few emissions as possible, First Hydrogen has developed a van that has already successfully passed its test phase in the UK. A range of 630 km can be covered on one hydrogen charge. But that is not all; the Company is planning much more in the field of hydrogen. After sobering figures, Bayer AG is focusing on drastic measures instead of innovations, but these will benefit those who truly do their job. We take a glance at the details.
