Nvidia, Manuka Resources, Aurora Cannabis - All the rage

  • Gold
  • AI
  • chips
  • Cannabis

The stock markets continue to boom. The DAX was able to climb above the psychologically important 18,000-point mark, at least in the short term, while other asset classes, such as gold and Bitcoin, also reached new highs. By contrast, different sectors, such as hydrogen and cannabis, have continued to plummet in recent weeks. The latter, in particular, has received an upward boost from the US government's statements, which could herald a trend reversal.

Volkswagen, Defense Metals, BYD, Rheinmetall - China's weapon in the tech race

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility
  • hightech

In the shadow of global power rivalries, rare earths play a crucial role, not only for the defense industry, but also for the booming electric vehicle market and the production of catalytic converters in the automotive industry. These metals are the invisible backbone powering high-tech devices and are of strategic importance for the global economy and security. China's dominance in extracting and processing such resources - as illustrated by Deng Xiaoping's statement: "The Middle East has oil. China has rare earths." - sheds light on potential geopolitical tensions and highlights the importance of supply chain diversification and resilience.

Aixtron, Standard Lithium, Edison Lithium: Up to 200% upside potential!

  • Mining
  • Lithium
  • Batteries
  • Electromobility

The Aixtron share is working on a comeback. The last few trading days have been positive, and an analyst commentary also gives hope that the crash is over. After all, the medium-term prospects of the plant engineering company are considered promising. Lithium also appears to be recovering. The long-term prospects for the sector are promising. In the case of Standard Lithium, support at USD 1 has held, and analysts see a price potential of more than 200%. At Edison Lithium, a spin-off is creating price fantasy. Will the IPO of the cobalt business bring about a turnaround? In its core business, the Company is focusing on the raw material for the next generation of batteries.

HelloFresh, Royal Helium, Evotec - Rebounds in sight

  • Helium
  • Biotechnology

Despite all the various challenges in today's world, such as geopolitical tensions or inflation, the stock market indices have managed to climb upwards. Investors are faced with a crucial question: Where is the hidden value in a market that has already broken many records? The answer could lie in those stocks that have so far stood on the sidelines of the great rally - the silent but potentially strong performers waiting for their rebound. This strategy shifts the focus away from the usual suspects who have already posted substantial gains to stocks that are ready to initiate their own rebound, potentially unlocking significant value for patient investors in the process. We have identified three such candidates.

Profit-taking in Defense and AI - What else is going on? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Renk and Hensoldt

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Tungsten
  • AI
  • armaments
  • Defense

Armaments stocks have been on the sunny side in the current year, 2024. Investors in this segment clearly outperformed the DAX 40 index. Due to the geopolitical situation and a redefined EU security policy, investors have rediscovered the sector. NATO member states are being called upon by the US to strictly adhere to or further increase their percentage of gross domestic product invested in defense. Donald Trump, who may return, wants to deny renegade allies the backing of the US in an emergency. Although nobody believes in this scenario, the announcement has had the effect that orders for new armaments technology have reached a new all-time high. Which shares are still in focus?

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold Ventures, Newmont - When will the next surge follow?

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Inflation

Gold is shining again. After reaching a new all-time high, the crisis and inflation hedge is back in the mainstream. While there has been little to read about the yellow precious metal in the newspapers in recent weeks, gold articles are currently among the most visited. During the initial impulse of the recent rise, mining stocks lagged significantly. However, if the positive trend continues, they could make up for this with disproportionately high price gains.

Bitcoin USD 70,000 - High-tech and artificial intelligence - a perennial favorite! Nvidia, Defense Metals, AMD and Super Micro Computer

It happened over the weekend: USD 70,000 - and no end in sight for Bitcoin? A never-ending rally seems to be taking its course after the cryptocurrency turned upwards at USD 25,000 last September. Will the upswing continue unabated? Due to the upcoming halving in April, this could continue for a few more weeks, with the crypto following growing daily. Suppliers in the high-tech sector are riding the same wave: fast computers, graphics cards, big data and artificial intelligence. Almost infinite growth is expected behind these megatrends. However, valuations are already very advanced. Where are the opportunities for newcomers now?

Encavis, Manuka Resources, Rheinmetall - Vanadium: From metal to energy source

  • Mining
  • gold
  • Vanadium
  • armaments
  • renewableenergies

The energy transition presents us with the challenge of efficiently storing renewable energy. A key raw material in this process is vanadium, which is used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and is mainly known for its role in steel production. These batteries are characterized by their longevity, with up to 20,000 charging cycles without any significant loss of performance, and their safety as they are non-flammable. In addition, their scalability allows them to be used both in large-scale grid storage and in the private sector. By storing electricity from wind and solar power, VRFBs are a critical element in supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy supply and ensuring the availability of steel alloys that can also be used in the defense industry.

TUI was among the daily winners yesterday. The tourism group's share price rose by more than 5%. The reason was positive analyst commentary. The price target was raised, providing significant upside potential from the current level. Experts also recommend buying Saturn Oil & Gas. After a successful capital increase, the target price for the oil producer's shares was raised. Analysts see over 100% upside potential and scope for high dividends. At Aixtron, analysts' price targets are tumbling. There is even a sell recommendation. However, not all analysts are pessimistic; some see an opportunity in the price slide of the past few days.

Bitcoin soon at USD 100,000? The music is also playing at Rheinmetall, Renk, Manuka Resources and BYD!

The stock market is not a one-way street. While Bitcoin reaches new highs daily, many stocks are still on the sidelines. Only 21% of all listed shares reached a new high in 2024, yet the Nasdaq 100 and the DAX 40 index are at their all-time highs. Only a few stocks are gaining favour with investors; others are being left behind. The current focus is on high-tech stocks that enable ever-greater computing power, such as in mining or artificial intelligence. In addition to gigantic amounts of data, mining requires trillions of computing operations to be carried out in a very short time. There are rewards in the form of new bitcoins for confirming transactions on the blockchain, but they will be halved by the next "halving" event in April. Armament values, on the other hand, seem to be heating up. So how much time is left to reap further leaps in returns?
