Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, AMD – These stocks have tailwinds
Stocks in certain sectors, particularly the defense industry, tungsten producers, and chipmakers for artificial intelligence, are currently experiencing strong tailwinds.

At the same time, advancements in artificial intelligence are driving demand for specialized chips, which benefits chip manufacturers. These developments are creating attractive investment opportunities as the strategic importance and growth prospects of these industries continue to increase and attract investors.

Saturn Oil + Gas, Bayer, Siemens Energy: Three companies for balance in volatile times
In uncertain times like these, a balanced portfolio is crucial for every investor. Also, in view of the upcoming US election, diversification across different sectors is worthwhile to offset fluctuations in the portfolio. Saturn Oil & Gas relies on a combination of share buybacks and targeted acquisitions. With an adjusted EBITDA of approximately CAD 400 million, the Company is demonstrating its financial strength and potential for further growth. By applying for approval of a drug for menopausal symptoms to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Bayer AG is targeting a global market that is expected to grow to a remarkable USD 26.97 billion by 2031. Global player Siemens Energy is focusing on the reorganization of its wind business and its participation in offshore wind energy projects. The early contract extension of CEO Christian Bruch until 2030 underlines the confidence in the current course. Today, we have three companies in focus.

After the China rally, is it now time for a gold rush? Important stock check with Alibaba, BYD, Nio, and Desert Gold
The global stock rally is quite impressive, given the current geopolitical situation. However, only a few stocks are actually rising - around 25% of listed stocks, to be precise. The higher valuation of stocks is mainly driven by inflows into the large standard ETFs, which receive monthly inflows via a savings program. In the third quarter of 2024, global ETF assets grew by USD 390 billion, reaching a total of USD 12.4 trillion in assets under management. Stock-picking, therefore, only makes sense today if you are well-informed or possess strong analytical skills. We highlight a few investment opportunities for a handpicked portfolio.

PayPal, Prismo Metals, Rheinmetall – Strategic Decisions for the Future
Three companies are setting the course for further growth: PayPal is opening up a new business segment in the US and launching the "PayPal Ads" advertising network to use transaction data for retail media. This move could increase the Company's clout. Meanwhile, the demand for copper is rapidly picking up speed. Prismo Metals is therefore intensifying its exploration activities, particularly at the Palos Verdes project in Mexico, in order to benefit from the increasing demand. Rheinmetall has received an order from the US Army to develop unmanned ground vehicles for the S-MET program, strengthening the Company's position in autonomous military vehicles.

50% profit margin? JinkoSolar, Nel ASA, and Desert Gold shares
A 50% profit margin? This is the prospect held out by the CEO of Desert Gold Ventures. The gold explorer aims to start production as early as next year. Even if the price of gold were to fall significantly, Desert would still be profitable. Or is a takeover perhaps on the cards? Unfortunately, Nel can only dream of such profit margins. The hydrogen specialist failed to establish a profitable business model during the boom phase. Now, orders are also drying up, and analysts are reducing the share price targets. And what is JinkoSolar doing? The Chinese company seems to be emerging as a winner from the solar crisis. However, even the market leader is feeling the effects of falling prices. Nevertheless, the share price has risen. Where is it worth entering?

Rio Tinto, Saturn Oil + Gas, BP - Insiders are taking advantage of the commodities correction
Concerns about the economy and even fears of a recession have caused the prices of most commodities to collapse in recent months. The price of lithium, a critical metal for the energy transition, dropped by around 90%. The oil market also saw drastic price declines despite geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East. Insiders agree that demand for both critical metals and black gold should pick up again, and they are going on a buying spree to be prepared for the subsequent upturn.

Desert Gold, Barrick Gold, Alibaba – Gold Rush Fever in Africa and Asia
The US Federal Reserve recently cut interest rates, with further cuts expected. Lower interest rates make gold more attractive as an interest-free investment. Demand for gold is increasing among both institutional and private investors.

A prominent neighbour in the West African region is Barrick Gold. The Company is forecasting growth of around 30% in the coming years.
