Geopolitical Risks Are Turning Energy into a Weapon – Why Investors Should Now Take a Closer Look at Nordex, RE Royalties, and First Solar
Electricity demand is surging due to artificial intelligence (AI), industrial expansion, and electric mobility—yet geopolitical risks are increasingly turning energy into a strategic weapon. In 2025, renewable energy sources accounted for 55.3% of electricity consumption in Germany, but that alone is not enough. Those who invest in green energy today secure competitive advantages and reduce long-term cost risks. The real bottleneck? Stable financing over the long term. Only when capital flows are steady can green electricity production be industrialized and scaled effectively. We take a closer look at wind power specialist Nordex, renewable energy financier RE Royalties, and solar company First Solar.

Silver as the Bottleneck of the Energy Transition: Silver Viper Minerals, Fresnillo, and JinkoSolar in Focus
The energy transition has completely transformed the markets for industrial metals. Silver plays a key role in photovoltaics due to its electrical conductivity. However, the industry faces a major problem. According to the latest World Silver Survey, the silver market is heading toward a structural supply deficit in 2026 for the sixth consecutive year. Experts forecast a shortfall of 46.3 million ounces. While solar market leaders such as JinkoSolar continue to expand their production, thereby keeping silver demand at record levels, established silver producers like Fresnillo are securing advantages by realigning their portfolios. In this tense situation, explorers such as Silver Viper Minerals, which are searching for tomorrow's deposits, are gaining importance. Through the acquisition of the Coneto project, the company has solidified its position in Mexico and is developing precisely the resources that will be urgently needed for global module production in the future. We shed light on the market and opportunities.

Oil Price at USD 150? Is Now the Time to Buy Energy Stocks? Siemens Energy, SMA Solar, and Dividend Star RE Royalties
Will the oil price climb to USD 150 in the short term? Barclays considers this extreme scenario possible. From the US bank's perspective, the driving force is, of course, the war in Iran. This is keeping the stock market on edge. Price swings are also severe for energy stocks. But this creates buying opportunities. RE Royalties, for example, is once again attractive with a dividend yield of 10% and the potential for rising prices. At Siemens Energy, the dividend yield is well below 1%. However, analysts expect a significant increase in the payout. Nevertheless, they do not consider the DAX-listed company's stock a Buy. And what about SMA Solar? Is the rally over? The price-to-sales ratio does not appear high.

JinkoSolar and Elon Musk?! Is it Time to Buy First Majestic Silver and Silver Viper Minerals After Drill Results and Acquisition?
What is going on between Elon Musk and JinkoSolar? A team from the world's richest man was reportedly spotted during a visit to JinkoSolar - sparking investor excitement. Positive catalysts would certainly be welcome. The CEO of the operating subsidiary has stepped down, and the company is suffering from the turmoil of the heavily subsidized market. In contrast, the correction in First Majestic Silver and Silver Viper Minerals may be coming to an end. Silver Viper has completed a key acquisition, effectively bringing a potential buyer into its own shareholder base. The CEO has set ambitious targets. Meanwhile, First Majestic Silver has had a rough patch. Could upcoming drill results mark a turning point?

Iran war boosts cash flow! Ride the short-term boom with BP, and invest in the future with CHAR Technologies and First Solar
The shock of the Iran war is driving up oil prices and bringing BP huge profits in the short term. Nevertheless, the conflict ruthlessly exposes the Achilles heel of fossil fuel dependency. As geopolitical risks escalate, investors are desperately seeking crisis-proof alternatives. The future belongs to technologies that are unaffected by tensions in the Persian Gulf. Innovative processes have long been transforming wood waste into green energy sources, while solar giants are setting new efficiency records. Three companies show where the journey is headed: BP's short-term surge is only one side of the coin; CHAR Technologies and First Solar are now setting the course for sustainable returns.

Beijing's silver bomb is ticking: Silver Viper Minerals, Infineon, and JinkoSolar in the big winners check
The stage is set for one of the most spectacular commodity conflicts of the decade. For the sixth consecutive year, demand is outstripping supply in silver, but this time the bottleneck has a geopolitical face. Beijing's export restrictions threaten to cut off up to half of the silver supply for Western industry. In this fractured market, three companies show how differently strategies can play out in the face of the crisis: Silver Viper Minerals is betting on new discoveries in Mexico, Infineon requires silver, but only to a small extent, and JinkoSolar is pushing forward the replacement of the precious metal in production.

Bloom Energy, CHAR Technologies, SolarEdge – The future is here
Margins are turning upward, and cash flow is returning. At the same time, new growth areas are emerging in industrial decarbonization and energy supply for AI data centers. From performance-optimized solar systems to climate-neutral coal substitutes and decentralized fuel cells, several future-oriented industries are benefiting from rising electricity demand, CO₂ pressure, and regulatory tailwinds. Order books are filling up, production capacities are being ramped up, and billion-dollar markets are emerging. However, high valuations and short ratios call for selectivity.

Forget the automakers: Deutsche Telekom, RE Royalties, and BASF are the new anchors for your income in 2026
The message sounds promising: EUR 52.9 billion for shareholders. But those who rely on the familiar dividend stars could be in for a nasty surprise in 2026. While global distributions are crawling along and growth has halved to 2.7%, a quiet power shift is taking place in portfolios. Former dividend kings, like the automakers, are hitting the brakes, while banks and financiers are setting the pace. For investors, this means paying closer attention. A closer look at Deutsche Telekom, RE Royalties, and BASF shows where the real opportunities for 2026 might lie.

Bloom Energy shows Plug Power how it is done! SMA Solar and RE Royalties shares STRONG!
A look at Bloom Energy makes it clear that something is seriously amiss at Plug Power. Both are fuel cell specialists, but one is profiting handsomely from the boom in AI data centers, while the other continues to face operational challenges. Looking at JinkoSolar and SMA Solar, there is also a clear winner. The German inverter manufacturer's stock has more than doubled. However, the stock appears to be slowly running out of steam, or will the latest news provide new momentum? While Bloom Energy's stock has already been identified as an AI winner, this could still be ahead for RE Royalties. Currently, the dividend gem is gaining momentum and remains very attractive.
