TUI, Saturn Oil + Gas, Bayer - Find the 2024 doubler before the end of the year
The indices are close to their all-time highs, and at the end of the year, investors are starting to adjust their portfolios to optimize their taxes. If you still want to find stocks that have the potential to double, you have to look at the stocks that have not performed so well this year. The stock market moves in cycles, and what was not in vogue this year may be in again next year. The most important thing is that the companies you want to invest in are earning money and have learned from the problems that have put the share price under pressure. We take a look at three promising candidates.

After the COP28 Climate Conference: Hydrogen, solar or oil? Plug Power, Nucera, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar in focus
It could have gone better! The COP28 Climate Conference in Dubai is over, the results sobering for many, for others within the realm of expectations. While large parts of the world are calling for a stricter approach to reducing fossil fuels, the countries in the Gulf region want to continue their successful business model of the last 150 years. Oil is not going out of fashion, and its production will continue to be abundant and delivered to buyers through various channels. Hydrogen and solar energy, like wind power, are essential energy sources, but they will not replace existing structures; at best, they will supplement them. Even nuclear energy, which has been widely frowned upon, is now seen as a climate solution by countries such as Poland, France and Finland and is being drastically expanded. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Star investor Buffett bets on oil: BYD, Plug Power, Shell, Prospera Energy
While the world was watching the Dubai Climate Conference, Warren Buffett invested in oil. The star investor increased his stake in Occidental Petroleum to 27% via Berkshire Hathaway. There is also the possibility of increasing the stake in the US oil company to 33%. The move came after Occidental shares had lost 20% in just a few weeks. This anti-cyclical move is typical of Buffett and shows that oil stocks like Shell are exciting. A similar turnaround story to Occidental is Prospera Energy. Things are expected to get interesting for the Canadian oil producer next year. This is likely also the case for BYD and Plug Power. Chinese companies want to attack the Japanese market, among other things. Like so many hydrogen companies, Plug Power has to address the question of the profitability of its business model.

Climate Conference and Nel disappoint. BASF and Saturn Oil + Gas shares recommended as Buy
The World Climate Conference has disappointed - at least for anyone who had hoped for a clear stance on the end of fossil fuels. Negotiations on the final declaration took place throughout the night in Dubai. The result is sobering. The farewell to fossil fuels is only vaguely described. It has become clear in recent weeks that fossil fuels are here to stay for the foreseeable future and that their lobby is strong. Instead of new impetus, shareholders of Nel ASA received further bad news. The hydrogen pioneer had to announce the cancellation of a major order. And that is not all. BASF, on the other hand, has a tailwind. The share has been upgraded from "Sell" to "Buy". Analysts see more than 200% upside potential for Saturn Oil & Gas. The high cash flow enables the oil producer to expand production and reduce debt.

Climate conference and Venice turns green! Oil remains in demand; goodbye hydrogen? Nel ASA, Prospera Energy and Plug Power in Focus
Too little, too slow, too half-hearted! Climate activists in Italy have drawn attention to themselves with a spectacular campaign. The "Extinction Rebellion" group members painted the famous Grand Canal in Venice fluorescent green. Some activists abseiled from the Rialto Bridge over the central canal of the northern Italian lagoon city on Saturday afternoon and poured dye into the water. Their action was intended to protest against the "ridiculous progress" made at the COP28 World Climate Conference in Dubai. "We are tired, we have had enough of being taken for fools by our governments and knowing that our future is in danger while politicians do nothing," they said in a statement to the press. How do we tackle the energy issues of the future? A look at selected energy stocks paints a clear picture.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Occidental Petroleum - New opportunities from OPEC+
With the decision by the oil cartel OPEC+ to further reduce production in the first quarter of next year, oil prices continued their correction that has been ongoing for weeks. Russia and OPEC+ announced their planned cuts at a total of 2.2 million barrels per day. The current decline in the oil sector offers investors an opportunity to participate in the expected long-term upward trend at more favorable prices.

ExxonMobil, Prospera Energy, Deutsche Rohstoff AG - New opportunities in the supercycle
After a sharp rise of around 30% to an annual high of USD 95.50 for the US West Texas Intermediate, black gold entered a correction and has since lost about 20% in value. Even events like the Hamas attack on Israel and OPEC+ production cuts were unable to halt the current decline. From a technical chart perspective, this appears to be a normal correction. In the long term, oil is expected to reach new highs with the next upward movement. JP Morgan, for instance, issued an updated price target of USD 120 per barrel as recently as September.

Saturn Oil + Gas, Rheinmetall, Bayer - Energy, Defense, Healthcare: Where short-term returns await
In Germany, the federal government put its spending on hold, a day after the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the reallocation of EUR 60 billion of unused debt from the pandemic era to the Energy and Climate Fund was unlawful. Europe's largest economy is shrinking due to rising energy prices and trade tensions. At the same time, North America, with stable oil companies such as Saturn Oil & Gas, presents an attractive investment opportunity for investors. Rheinmetall is experiencing a target price high of EUR 370 and flirting with long-term prospects in the US. At the same time, Bayer grapples with legal challenges and the failure of the blood thinner 'asundexian'. We look at where an investment may be worthwhile now.

Black Week in the energy sector: Short hydrogen - Long oil! Shell, BP, Prospera Energy, and Plug Power under the microscope
It sounds ambitious! To completely restructure Europe's energy supply, the European Union would need to invest a good EUR 300 billion in alternative energy sources, infrastructure and raw material supply contracts by 2030. As of 2021, Germany alone was importing 45% of its fossil fuels from Russia, which had been a valued partner until then. After the start of the war in Ukraine, this long-standing business partner was removed from the list. However, this also means that the very cheap sources are no longer accessible for Central Europe. Therefore, electricity, heating and mobility prices will remain high while public coffers are empty. Shareholders who bet on Greentech have to endure a crash in the hydrogen sector while fossil fuels are experiencing a renaissance. Where are the medium-term opportunities?

Hydrogen failed! Opportunities for JinkoSolar, Saturn Oil + Gas and Nordex
When Plug Power, the largest company in the new hydrogen technology, announces that it will likely run out of money in 12 months, it is a bombshell for the entire industry. If the big player cannot become profitable, there appear to be technological problems. The rollout is likely to take longer. But the energy problems worldwide still exist. This increases the opportunities for solar energy, the oil industry and possibly wind power. We look at one company from each sector and examine their future prospects.
