Battery vs. hydrogen! Buy Nel ASA now? Or is FREYR Battery or Altech Advanced Materials better?
Should investors bet on battery stocks over hydrogen stocks? At least when looking at investor darlings like Nel and Plug Power, the answer to this question seems to be "yes" at the moment. The Nel share, in particular, has been hit hard. In local currency, it is trading at its lowest level since the beginning of 2020. Is there hope for a rebound? Or are investors better off betting on battery newcomers like FREYR Battery or Altech Advanced Materials? In terms of share price, Germany's Altech has been the best performer this year, and at the recent Capital Markets Day, management expressed confidence that it would soon take the battery market by storm. So, what is the current status of hopes for hydrogen and batteries?

Hydrogen on sale! Here is the alternative: BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, BASF, Volkswagen
While the IAA Mobility ended with satisfied faces, it did not bring good vibes to local automotive stocks. More than 500,000 visitors attended to be convinced of innovations for a climate-friendly future. Half of the 750 exhibitors came from abroad, and 109 nations were represented. However, those who went with the expectation of finding major breakthroughs were disappointed. The familiar lithium-ion battery still dominates with over 95% usage. Industrially viable alternatives, however, are already in the development stage. Those who think ahead are opting for modern battery concepts.

Almonty Industries, Covestro, Bayer AG - Which stocks are taking off?
Energy, pharmaceuticals and defence are the performance candidates of the hour. To support further economic growth, countries like South Korea and France are turning to nuclear power, which requires the metal tungsten. Almonty Industries, which has specialized in the mining and processing of this rare metal since 2009, is particularly eye-catching here. The current takeover talks of the DAX-listed group Covestro show how valuable know-how can be. The Abu Dhabi-based oil company Adnoc is very interested in Covestro's specialist knowledge of plastics for e-mobility, building insulation and adhesives. Bayer AG also demonstrates significant expertise. Researchers at its US subsidiary BlueRock Therapeutics have achieved a breakthrough in treating Parkinson's disease. Find out which shares are now taking off here.

Is the Artificial intelligence hype already over? Nvidia, Star Navigation and C3.ai with good chances of a correction!
With an eye on rapid technological progress, the EU and the US want to cooperate more in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). "We are determined to make the most of the potential of emerging technologies while limiting the challenges they pose to universal human rights and shared democratic values," the Joint Trade and Technology Council announces. For the accompanying ethics committees, an important issue now comes to the table: what is a machine allowed to do, and what is it not allowed to do? So the current hype could be curbed again somewhat. Have AI values already peaked?
