Varta, Barsele Minerals, Nel ASA - Hard-hitting announcements from analysts
The suspense is rising - the third quarter number season is open. It will be interesting to see how companies from various sectors have performed in the months from July to September despite imponderables such as rising raw material and energy costs and the global economic downturn. Due to the partly horrendous share price losses in recent months, interesting buying opportunities could arise at a cheaper level, which should promise high price gains in the long term.

100% chance with ThyssenKrupp, Varta, Tocvan Ventures and Nel ASA: Lay the foundation for the future now!
Currently, the daily news is not a source of much joy. However, there are opportunities in many of the reports that can quickly turn into cash after the current correction. It seems crucial to focus on stocks that, despite an adverse environment, keep their medium-term goals in mind and can demonstrate a robust business model. Here are some examples showing long-term development potential.

RWE, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Accompany the energy turnaround with these shares
Temperatures are dropping in Central and Northern Europe, but investor sentiment remains heated in the ongoing debate on the energy transition. Those who want to invest in sustainable companies would do well to take a close look at which fossil and renewable energies are currently being used and are enabling companies to generate growth and profits. RWE is betting on solar in the US, Saturn Oil & Gas from Canada is ensuring an increase in fossil energies for global economic supply, and Shell is going on a buying spree for natural gas. Read the background here.

Shares: Porsche does it like Tesla - Varta is not there, and Infinity Stone Ventures?
E-car specialists like BYD and Tesla have had them for a long time: their own gigafactories. German automakers have long neglected their own battery production. It is surprising because, with electromobility, energy storage is becoming the heart of every car. Here in Germany, Porsche is now stepping on the gas and accelerating the development of its battery production. This could become a model for the entire VW Group. Unfortunately, German battery hopeful Varta is again not involved in the project. The Company seems to be making no headway in its search for partners. No matter who builds the batteries, companies like Infinity Stone Ventures stand to benefit. The specialist for critical raw materials is currently stepping on the gas in its projects, and the positive newsflow should continue.

Rare Earths and the China Shock: Volkswagen, Defense Metals, Freyr Battery
Remember the Toyota Prius? According to asset manager Pictet, the hybrid car that became the vehicle of choice for supposedly sustainable-minded consumers a few years ago is the consumer product that has gobbled up the most rare earths to date. World record! But the Prius was just the beginning. Soon, all cars will be electric and thus have a battery. Will the demand for rare earths then go through the roof? Can demand still be met at all? We present three stocks related to electromobility, GreenTech and rare earths.

Plug Power, Desert Gold, BYD - Discover the opportunities
"If you do not have the stocks when they fall, you do not have them when they rise." These wise words from a famous quote from stock market legend André Kostolany are little consolation to investors whose portfolios have melted considerably in recent months. In the long term, however, there are many attractive opportunities to enter strongly corrected companies at the current level. In addition to the stock market, other asset classes such as cryptocurrencies and precious metals also offer opportunities for disproportionate price gains in the future, despite the current uncertain environment.

These stocks are fighting the energy crisis: BASF, Nel ASA, JinkoSolar and Globex Mining
The current energy crisis is a homemade problem that has been felt primarily in Europe since the start of the war. For decades, Europe has relied on raw material supplies from Russia, and now, these have been sanctioned. Although the "old continent" has already made astonishing progress in upgrading its renewable energies, there is a threat of further price increases, blackouts and even electricity rationing if gas and oil supplies fail to materialize in the coming winter. By mid-2022, there were green power yields of between 43% and 61% of grid capacity, fossil fuels now account for only 15 to 20%, and nuclear power has been contributing only about 3.5% for several years. Nevertheless, a difficult winter probably looms because the fossil component is more than uncertain. Equity investors should look closely at who can prevail in this environment.

K+S, Barsele Minerals, Barrick Gold - Are the good times coming after the bad?
While the gold price is under pressure from the strong US dollar and rising interest rates, European fertilizer producers are struggling with high gas prices, representing almost 90% of variable costs in production. However, the first positive trends can be observed in both markets. In gold, the critical support level of USD 1620 has held, and there, the market bounced dynamically upwards. Fertilizer prices rose in September in almost all segments. Reason enough to take a closer look at two gold companies and the German fertilizer producer K+S.

The problem solvers: Plug Power, BioNTech, Almonty Industries
Rarely have there been as many global crises and challenges as there are right now. In addition to the war in Ukraine, there is Corona, an arguably inevitable recession, and the energy crisis - not to mention long-standing challenges such as the fight against cancer and climate change. Companies want to help solve these problems, and BioNTech is one of these companies. The Wiesbaden-based Company was not only successful in the fight against COVID-19. They are currently taking on cancer. And the CEO has recently been very positive. Almonty Industries wants to help reduce dependence on raw materials from China and Russia, and one Company has already given it long-term purchase guarantees. And Plug Power wants to help solve the energy crisis and fight climate change. The recent numbers have disappointed, but analysts see upside potential. We look at the current performance of the three problem solvers.

Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz, Amazon - Strong raw materials for profitable cloud technology
To ensure that logistics and supply chains are better protected against failures in the future, the Mercedes-Benz Group is relying on a strong partner for the internal cloud: Microsoft. Through global networking, potential supply bottlenecks are to be identified and cushioned at an early stage. The rapidly increasing demand for semiconductor and battery technology is bringing companies like Almonty Industries into focus. In the raw materials sector, the Company has specialized in tungsten mining in geopolitically secure areas such as South Korea. The metal tungsten is a key element for the computer and automotive industry. Top dog Amazon is also increasingly relying on its cash cow AWS. While the e-commerce business is being pushed by marketing campaigns, the Group is developing smart processors for its cloud business.
