Hydrogen losing, oil stocks gaining: Plug Power, Shell and Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil + Gas
Hydrogen is considered the future, but is it too early for pure-play stocks to enter? Companies like Plug Power and Nel are expected to continue posting substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Both are valued in the billions, and both will likely have to carry out a capital increase before they reach break-even. By contrast, oil companies are earning brilliantly. Shell prioritizes margin over revenue, which is winning over analysts. Similarly, Cashflow Monster Saturn Oil & Gas is receiving praise from analysts. Their performance in the second quarter was slightly above analysts' expectations. Will the Canadians soon pay a monster dividend?

Warning against the Green Illusion! SMA Solar, Saturn Oil + Gas, JinkoSolar
About one-fifth of Germany's gross final energy consumption comes from renewable energies - and the trend is rising. Renewables are also on the rise in the US and China. From an investor's point of view, this naturally suggests itself as an investment. Renewable energy is climate-neutral, cost-effective, and politically supported. Despite these apparent advantages, some pitfalls still surround this presumed self-propelling sector. We shed light on why sustainably-minded investors do not need to shy away from fossil energy sources and why certain challenges exist within the Green Illusion.

Meyer Burger, Saturn Oil + Gas, CureVac - Incisive events
The past week in the stock market, due to the earnings season for the year's first half, brought surprises on both sides. Some companies were able to shine despite uncertainties on the economic and geopolitical side and face a golden future due to a significant undervaluation. Speaking of the future: Due to weaker market conditions, one company after another is leaving the old contingent to take advantage of better conditions overseas.

BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Shell - Gains due to rising oil prices
The price of crude oil rose again last week. While Brent went out of trading on Friday at USD 85.45, the price for WTI stood at USD 81.53 per barrel. This could just be the beginning, as both Saudi Arabia and Russia have cut back production, which has tightened supply. In addition, US oil reserves fell by an unprecedented 17.1 million barrels, the most significant drop ever recorded. Only the downgrade of the US credit rating weighed a little on sentiment. But the risk that this will weigh on the economy seems small. The FED has let it be known that interest rates are not to rise for the time being, inflation is falling, and many company figures are above analysts' expectations. We, therefore, look at three oil producers that benefit from a rising oil price.

Saturn Oil + Gas, Vonovia, First Hydrogen, VW - How energy and propulsion are changing the markets, winners, and losers
Saturn Oil & Gas is adding three experienced forces to its leadership team. Janet Yang brings her expertise in finance and strategy, Andrew Claugus is a versatile petroleum engineer, and Grant MacKenzie will serve as Chief Legal Officer. Their knowledge and years of experience in the oil and gas industry make them valuable resources for the Company and its future development. Vonovia is severely undervalued due to the current real estate situation in Germany. First Hydrogen is making strides with a hydrogen refueling that covers a distance of 630 km, while Volkswagen is reducing the production of its electric car, ID.4. Let's find out who the winners and losers are in the stock market this time.

Climate protection, yes, but why is the plan not working out? Nikola, Nordex, Saturn Oil + Gas and JinkoSolar in focus
The world often presents itself differently than it really is. In Germany, for example, there is a shortage of oil and gas, which is a major burden for industry and private consumers. Renewable energies now account for 56% of the installed nominal value of all power plants, but unfortunately, they cannot meet baseload demand. If there is little sunshine and no wind, gas and coal-fired power plants must be shifted up a gear to meet energy consumption. Oil, in particular, remains the base material for 100,000 products that contain plastic. So the green dream of complete independence from fossil fuels will not happen for a while. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Nel share is unstoppable, but money is being made at BYD and Saturn Oil + Gas
Yesterday's quarterly figures from Nel were well received by the stock market. As a result, the share price reacted with a jump of over 8%. The hydrogen pureplay increased sales by 159% to NOK 475 million. The electrolyser business grew even more strongly. However, the net loss also rose significantly to NOK 342 million, but investors seemed to overlook this fact yesterday. The situation is different at BYD. The Company made a profit of billions in the first half of the year and continues to expand vigorously. The price war with Tesla does not seem to be leaving any impact. Oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas is also earning splendidly. In the first quarter, EBITDA increased by an impressive 332%. The Company aims to be debt-free by 2025. Will a substantial dividend come then?

End of the downward spiral - Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, TotalEnergies
With the break of the downward trend established since June 2022, the oil markets, both Brent and WTI, received a significant boost. Fossil fuels are expected to gain further support from the announcement of production cuts by OPEC+ countries, including Saudi Arabia and Russia. The desert state plans to cut its production quota by one million barrels per day, while Russia plans to reduce production by 500,000.

Energy chaos? Not at all! Siemens Energy, ThyssenKrupp, Saturn Oil + Gas
The world is changing - and German companies are at the forefront. Siemens Energy could partner with the world's largest solar company, Longi, in its planned plant in Germany. ThyssenKrupp wants to take off with its hydrogen subsidiary Nucera and has high hopes of an IPO before the summer break. But there are also problems: Siemens Energy's share price crashed recently due to issues at the wind energy subsidiary. We look at how investors can best navigate the green revolution.

Solar and wind instead of oil and gas - Shell, Saturn Oil + Gas, Lanxess: Germany focuses on decarbonization!
International energy policy is more disparate than ever. While the US, Canada, China, India, South America and Russia focus on exploiting their abundant fossil reserves, resource-poor countries like Germany and select European states are embracing renewable energies. This decision results from an existing shortage or is imposed in the EU alliance, but it fits argumentatively into the picture of rapid decarbonization, a main line of European policy. As a reminder, planet Earth is home to almost 8 billion people, while Europe has only about 700 million inhabitants. With 8.7% of the world's weight, activist climate policy is being pursued in this country. While the goals are laudable, the overall effect of the efforts is rather negligible. But the consequences for Europe's historically built-up prosperity will be considerable. What is important for investors to consider?
