High Energy Prices: How Samsung SDI, dynaCERT, and First Solar Stand to Benefit!
On Wednesday, the US inflation figures for May were released. At 4.2%, the reading came in exactly in line with market expectations, and the individual sector data were also broadly consistent with forecasts. Nevertheless, this initially triggered a sell-off in the stock market. It appears that some investors have only now realized that the conflict in the Gulf has driven up energy prices and, consequently, the prices of many other goods and services. Given the renewed US escalation in the Middle East, oil, gas, kerosene, and fertilizer prices appear set to remain at elevated levels for an extended period. For companies whose products become more competitive as energy prices rise, however, these conditions are favourable. That is why we are taking a closer look at the shares of Samsung SDI, dynaCERT, and First Solar.

Market Shock and Plunge for Ballard Power and ITM Power! Does HPQ Silicon Offer a Better Opportunity Following New Deals?
Stocks in the technology sector—and particularly those in the hydrogen industry—are currently experiencing wild swings. Even when there is positive news or a successful annual shareholder meeting, massive profit-taking often sends prices plummeting afterward. Prominent examples of this are the current developments at industry giants ITM Power and Ballard Power. Both have recently suffered steep price losses following their strong rallies. But while these two stocks are currently "suffering" under selling pressure, an exciting technology stock is positioning itself in the second tier. HPQ Silicon is drawing attention with new partnerships in Asia and at European defence trade shows. From a technical chart perspective, it is currently well supported on the downside by a horizontal support zone. Could HPQ perhaps even outperform Ballard and ITM in the coming weeks? We take a close look at the opportunities and developments of these three companies.

ITM Power and Nel ASA in Correction Mode – Is dynaCERT Poised for a Breakout?
Nel ASA shares fell more than 5% yesterday alone, extending the stock's correction through June. On the positive side, the former investor favourite recently succeeded in resolving a legal dispute. ITM Power is also in correction mode. Even a new partnership in the UK has failed to halt the recent sell-off. That said, both Nel ASA and ITM Power had previously enjoyed substantial rallies, with their shares roughly doubling and more than tripling, respectively. Analysts believe dynaCERT shares are capable of such a price surge. Under its new German management team, the cleantech company has undergone a significant transformation over the past two years. Currently, the company is benefiting from elevated oil prices. There is significant interest in technology for optimizing internal combustion engines. Should dynaCERT announce larger commercial orders, the stock could attract increased investor attention and potentially continue its upward momentum.

Escalation in Iran! Defence and Energy Stocks in Focus: Hensoldt, Nordex, and A.H.T. Syngas
Tensions between Iran and Israel are escalating once again, and oil prices are rising accordingly. Against this backdrop, we are taking a closer look at selected defence and energy stocks. A.H.T. Syngas shares appear to be gaining momentum. The company specializes in energy production from waste materials. Revenue is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, and analysts see upside potential of around 150%. Analysts have recently been more cautious on Nordex. They point to several uncertainties surrounding the wind turbine manufacturer's business model and have issued "Sell" recommendations. The company, however, is countering these concerns with a steady stream of new orders. Hensoldt also has a "Sell" recommendation. While analysts expect significant growth, order intake is expected to weaken, and the valuation is a cause for concern.

Hydrogen Ramp-Up: High Costs Are Slowing the Industry – Investors Turn to First Hydrogen, Plug Power, and Nel
According to the think tank Agora Energiewende, greenhouse gas reductions in Germany stagnated in 2025, with emissions falling by only 1.5% to 640 million metric tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. Although renewable energy already covers 55.3% of electricity demand, high investment costs are slowing the transformation of energy-intensive industries. While the production cost of grey hydrogen ranges between approximately EUR 1.50 and EUR 3.30 per kg depending on the price of natural gas, green hydrogen currently costs around EUR 7.00 per kg. New regulations for renewable fuels of non-biogenic origin are likely to drive these production costs even higher by 2030. Fraunhofer experts in energy infrastructure and geotechnologies have calculated that economic viability without government demand stimulation requires a CO₂ price of well over EUR 200 per tonne—clearly an unrealistic level. So how can the hydrogen ramp-up succeed nonetheless? We take a look at companies driving innovation in the hydrogen sector.

Cleantech Shows Strength: A Look at Nordex, Pure One, and Linde
Few sectors are bringing as many new and established companies back into the spotlight as cleantech. From solar and wind power to innovative technologies that can make the world a better and often more efficient place. For those who identify emerging trends early, the opportunities can be substantial. That is why we are taking a look today at Pure One, a company that appears poised for significant growth in the hydrogen sector. At the same time, established players also deserve attention. Industry heavyweight Linde, which has long since moved beyond supplying traditional industries, has built itself a formidable competitive moat. Investors may also want to revisit Nordex. Following its strong comeback year in 2025, the Hamburg-based company appears firmly back on a growth trajectory.

7.5% NASDAQ Weekly Correction: Infineon, AMD, HPQ Silicon, and Siemens Energy in the Spotlight
After 14 months of the NASDAQ's steep rise of over 100%, investors celebrated the new era of AI data centers and the associated chip boom. Adding to the general euphoria was the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which sent prices skyrocketing, particularly in the high-tech sector. As a result, CPU manufacturer AMD now expects to double its revenue by 2028, with EBIT projected to triple. Apparently, the bulls believe these new scarcity-driven prices will persist into the near future. However, since commodity and energy prices are currently trending downward, production costs are likely to fall again in the long run. This would make price competition more likely than a continuation of the unusual hype. Cautious investors are therefore hitting the brakes on well-performing stocks like Infineon, AMD, and Siemens Energy in favour of less highly valued sectors. Here are a few facts about the sector.

Will NASDAQ Shockwave Burst AI Bubble? Major Movements at Nel ASA, Oklo, dynaCERT, SpaceX, and ITM Power
It has finally happened—a 7.5% drop on the tech exchanges in just three trading days. Yet, only last Tuesday, the NASDAQ 100 index had reached a new all-time high of 30,730 points. In a sudden realization, market participants understood that the central bank's next move will be a "rate hike." After all, the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, makes no secret that inflation near 4% is a disaster for the US dollar and economic stability. Although Donald Trump has repeatedly hinted in the media at an interest rate cut, the central bank governors—including former Fed Chair Jerome Powell—are unanimously leaning toward hikes to curb high inflation. In addition to economically measurable inflation, voices are growing louder that excessive price increases on Wall Street paint a picture of the economy that does not align with reality. The daily gains of billions in stock market wealth, combined with the extreme increases in long positions, harbour the potential for disappointment in the near future. Whether the initial spark of a correction was set in motion last week must therefore be closely analyzed.

WHILE THE WORLD WAITS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, DYNACERT, INNOSPEC, AND OC OERLIKON ARE MAKING DIESEL CLEANER
Different technological approaches, one shared objective – improving the efficiency and emissions profile of existing diesel engines. Three companies are pursuing fundamentally different paths to reduce fuel consumption and emissions: Canadian cleantech pioneer dynaCERT relies on a hydrogen unit that operates directly on the engine; US specialty chemicals company Innospec Inc. develops fuel additives designed to optimize fuel efficiency; and Swiss industrial group OC Oerlikon coats engine components at the factory with a layer thinner than a human hair yet as hard as metal. The result is the same in all three cases: improved energy efficiency, lower emissions, and longer engine life.

Three Tech Stocks for Your Portfolio: SanDisk, HPQ Silicon, and Nokia Oyj
The tech sector is booming like never before thanks to the expansion of AI data centers. The situation on the stock markets is often compared to the dot-com bubble around the turn of the millennium. However, analysts see the possibility that this trend could continue for a few more years. And now even Google's parent company, Alphabet, is tapping the capital markets to raise more than USD 80 billion. So the boom is unbroken, and the AI hyperscalers are ready to invest heavily. The superstar of the past 18 months is SanDisk, which we are taking a closer look at today, along with the Finnish tech veteran Nokia. It is also worth taking a look at the Canadian company HPQ Silicon, which plans to commercialize three groundbreaking technologies over the next two years.
