Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles in 2026: Why Daimler Truck, Pure One, and Plug Power Are Benefiting from the Logistics Revolution
Since July 2025, the EU has mandated a gradual decarbonization of heavy-duty transportation, and the logistics industry is grappling with the right technology. Batteries or hydrogen? The answer is: both. The complexity of long-haul transport requires a mix of propulsion systems and a robust infrastructure. While batteries excel in short-distance travel, hydrogen offers the potential for heavy loads and fast refueling. Three key players exemplify this transformation: the vehicle giant Daimler Truck, the cleantech specialist Pure One, and the infrastructure pioneer Plug Power.

Bombshell and Buy Rating! TKMS, SFC Energy, dynaCERT! Are Analyst Estimates Too Low?
Bombshell at TKMS. The company has landed a multi-billion-dollar order from Canada. The stock keeps climbing, while defense stocks are weakening overall. Will analysts soon raise their estimates? At dynaCERT, analysts are expecting the commercial breakthrough. If it comes, the stock has multi-bagger potential. In his latest interview, the new German CEO sounds confident. In emerging markets, dynaCERT is aiming to achieve its commercial breakthrough, and the market opportunity is substantial. While dynaCERT remains a higher-risk investment with the potential for a technical breakout, the rally in SFC Energy is already well underway. So far this year, the share has gained more than 70%. Analysts have welcomed the company's recent acquisition and continue to see additional upside potential for the shares.

Overcoming the Range Limitation: SpaceX Thinks Big, Siemens Energy Believes in AI, and First Hydrogen Solves Earthly Problems
When street sweepers make their rounds in major German cities on Saturday mornings, we usually still hear a monotonous diesel hum in our ears. But behind the scenes, a transformation has long been underway. Climate neutrality is forcing fleet operators to rethink their approach. The mantra: move away from diesel and toward new technologies. However, all-battery-powered trucks often reach their limits in multi-shift operations due to insufficient range and hours-long charging times. This is where innovative technologies like hydrogen come into play. We introduce three exciting companies and highlight opportunities for investors.

Penalty Shootout in the Energy Sector: Takeovers Ahead? Keep an Eye on Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, Helios Solar, ITM, and Plug Power
Markets continue to climb, and the global energy transition is entering a new investment phase. Yet the momentum is far from evenly distributed. While Europe is accelerating the expansion of renewable energy to meet rising electricity demand from electric vehicles, industry, data centers, and artificial intelligence, the US administration is placing renewed emphasis on expanding nuclear power. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia is quietly emerging as one of the world's fastest-growing solar markets. According to the International Energy Agency, annual global investment in clean energy technologies will need to exceed USD 2 trillion by the end of the decade merely to move closer to international climate targets. At the same time, the European Commission is easing fiscal rules, giving member states greater scope to invest in energy infrastructure, while the European Investment Bank plans to provide EUR 75 billion in financing for energy transition projects by 2028. Who stands to benefit?

Disruption at the Core of Big Tech and EVs – How HPQ Silicon Could Shape Micron and BYD
The future of artificial intelligence infrastructure and electric mobility will not be determined by software alone. Both megatrends are increasingly encountering physical limitations that require breakthroughs in materials science rather than in computing power. In the battery industry, conventional graphite anodes are emerging as a bottleneck for further improvements in energy density and charging performance. At the same time, the semiconductor industry is searching for the next generation of materials to enable faster, more efficient chip architectures as traditional scaling approaches reach their limits. The solution to both challenges lies in the same element: silicon. This is precisely where HPQ Silicon has positioned itself. The Canadian company is developing technologies that could play a key role in the production of high-purity silicon and advanced silicon-based materials, offering disruptive potential across multiple industries, from semiconductors to next-generation batteries.

Stocks in Focus: 2G Energy, A.H.T Syngas Technology, and Linde
The markets are extremely volatile. Even though oil prices have fallen significantly recently, other sectors are now causing concern. Bank of America recently issued a warning to its clients. According to the Wall Street bank's strategists, the time has come to both take profits and build hedges for the portfolio. The bank was referring explicitly to the technology sector and warned of a weak third quarter. Among its arguments, the bank cited the high valuations of many companies. Second, it noted that stock purchases on credit in the US are a significant problem. This metric now stands at 4% of gross domestic product, an all-time high. Indeed, this warning immediately increased volatility in the stock markets. These are difficult times for investors to make strategic investments. It is therefore worthwhile to focus on strong, high-quality stocks that can deliver long-term performance. We are therefore looking at the stocks of 2G Energy, A.H.T. Syngas Technology, and Linde.

Oil on Sale, Gas and Hydrogen in Vogue! Nel ASA, Pure One, Plug Power, and Shell in the Spotlight
A Fragile Ceasefire! Tensions between the US and Iran remain high, even though the recent de-escalation has provided short-term relief for the oil markets. There is no sign of a robust peace agreement; rather, the situation remains characterized by a fragile political framework, military incidents, and diplomatic feelers. This is particularly relevant for the oil market because the Strait of Hormuz, as a key transport route, remains a geopolitical risk factor. Accordingly, Brent reacts sensitively to any new news from the region. After falling to around USD 72 per barrel, it could rebound at any time. Investment banks are now significantly scaling back their short-term price targets of up to USD 150 set in April, but remain cautious overall for 2026. Depending on the firm, forecasts for Brent now range from USD 70 to USD 85 per barrel, with geopolitical risks, OPEC policy, and the development of the global economy remaining key influencing factors. For investors, this means that oil prices are currently more of a tactical positioning matter and are unsuitable as a long-term investment. It is therefore worth taking a critical look at viable alternatives in the energy sector. But let's get one thing out of the way first: high volatility is here to stay!

Diesel Is Dead, Long Live Diesel: What Is Next for Volkswagen, Traton, dynaCERT, and Cummins
Since the diesel scandal a good ten years ago, Volkswagen has been lurching from one crisis to the next. Now, plant closures and massive job cuts loom. Meanwhile, its commercial vehicle subsidiary, Traton, is grappling with the key question: Should its diesel fleet be replaced? An innovative company from Toronto takes the position that nothing needs to be replaced at all: dynaCERT improves the efficiency and emissions of engines that have long been on the road. And Cummins, of all companies, a US giant that builds precisely such engines, provides the unintended proof that the transition away from the internal combustion engine will take a very long time. We take a look at what this means for investors.
