Strong price targets! Super Micro Computer, Bayer, Almonty Industries
Is it time to invest in Super Micro now? Yes, say several experts. Despite the massive price rally, the AI share offers further potential. There are good reasons for this, and the target price is USD 1,300. There are also good reasons for the Almonty Industries share to perform well in 2024 and beyond. The Company focuses on tungsten, a scarce and coveted resource in Europe and North America. Sales and profits are expected to rise sharply, leading to a revaluation of the share. Analysts also see significant potential for Bayer shares. The spin-off of over-the-counter medications, including Aspirin, is expected to drive the share. However, there are some question marks.

BYD, Edison Lithium, Nikola - Electromobility continues to advance
The German government's decision to stop the environmental bonus has caused a drastic decline in new registrations of electric cars in Germany. After almost 55,000 battery-powered vehicles in December, the number dropped to 22,500 in the first month of the year. According to ADAC, citing data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, the percentage share of electric vehicles in total new registrations plummeted from 22.6% to 10.5%. By contrast, the situation outside Germany looks considerably more positive. Around 1,120,000 new registrations were registered in the US in 2023, representing a growth of 54%. China remains by far the largest market, with 6.66 million electric vehicles sold, and the growth curve continues to rise at 24%.

Infineon, Saturn Oil + Gas, Block - Things are heating up here
Last week, all eyes were on chip giant Nvidia, which once again surprised Wall Street with a positive performance and a net profit increase of almost 770%. In Germany, Allianz also made headlines with a record profit and a significant dividend increase. In contrast, a report that could significantly impact the future of green technologies, with positive signals for the oil and gas industry, went somewhat unnoticed.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Renk - Golden times everywhere?
The world is full of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. These are ideal conditions for gold, which is still considered a safe haven. There are now several factors that point to a sustained upswing in gold prices. One factor is the increased involvement of central banks, which are increasing their reserves to an extent not seen for decades. Another factor is the discussion within the BRICS nations about introducing a new currency backed by gold as a counterweight to the dominant US dollar. Therefore, today, we look at two gold companies and shed light on Renk, a representative of the defense industry, which is also experiencing golden times.

Top news: BYD, Bayer and Globex Mining
Bayer shocked investors yesterday with the announcement of its dividend cut, which shouldn't have been much of a surprise. The Company is burdened with high debt, endless legal fines, and an empty pharmaceutical pipeline. In an initial reaction, analysts have lowered the share price target. BYD, on the other hand, is doing well operationally. Only the share price is not picking up. Will a share buyback turn the share price around? For those who want to profit from the commodity boom with reduced risk, then Globex Mining's stock is attractive. The news flow is strong, and those who act quickly can still register and follow the live presentation of the mining incubator at the 10th International Investment Forum, IIF, today.

Renk, Manuka Resources, and Airbus with explosive news
Germany's leading index, the DAX, managed to surpass the 17,000-point mark significantly this week, reaching a new all-time high at 17,198.50 points. After a weak IPO year in Germany in 2023, in which only three companies dared to go public, the Renk Group set an exclamation mark with a rocket launch. Whether the high level of the DAX can be maintained will also depend on Allianz, Fresenius and Heidelberg Materials, which will publish their figures for the past financial year in the coming week.

Almonty Industries, thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall: Three metal industry shares in focus
The metal industry contributes globally to the development of various sectors through continuous innovation driven by mining, R&D and technological advances. Tough times lie ahead for thyssenkrupp. During the Annual General Meeting, CEO Miguel López emphasized that energy costs for steel production will account for up to half of total costs. Quo Vadis, Germany, as a business location? So, let's take a look at South Korea, another renowned steel producer. The tungsten mining company Almonty Industries is positioning itself as a pioneer here, aiming to cover 7% of the global market. Its strategy involves mining in democratically governed countries and establishing first-class trade partners such as the US and South Korea. Given the geopolitical tensions, in which 90% of tungsten production comes from China and Russia, investors should analyze Almonty more closely. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall, an arms manufacturer, is enjoying full-order books and, for the first time, is exploring a completely new technology division for its portfolio expansion.
