HelloFresh, First Hydrogen, Amazon: Growth in the Courier, Express, and Parcel industry
The courier, express, and parcel industry (CEP) is a true growth engine. CEP companies currently employ almost 260,000 people, more than 50% more than ten years ago. Consumers worldwide are increasingly opting for direct deliveries to their homes, whether for food or retail orders. The food company HelloFresh is benefiting from this. The figures from the first quarter of 2024 impress analysts and investors alike. Increasing delivery traffic in cities needs new solutions. This is where First Hydrogen comes into play. The Company focuses on hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles for urban deliveries. The advantage of First Hydrogen's vans is their unbeatable range of over 600 km with just a single refueling. Amazon is also scaling up its food delivery services. In the US, they are enticing Prime subscribers to take advantage of delivery benefits for groceries. This is not at all popular in Europe and violates many consumer laws. We provide the details.

Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW
The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - who can benefit from China's rise
Chinese companies such as BYD benefit from state subsidies and domestic access to raw materials. BYD's subsidies have risen from EUR 220 million in just three years to EUR 2.1 billion. These sums are helping BYD dominate the Chinese electric vehicle market and increasingly penetrate the European market. Volkswagen cannot escape the pull of China either. As part of its "In China, for China" strategy, Volkswagen is expanding its cooperation network with Chinese partners. The aim is to reduce costs significantly in the development of EV technology. For companies like Altech Advanced Materials, close cooperation with Chinese market leaders such as BYD and Volkswagen offers the opportunity to commercialize innovative battery technologies that meet the needs of the changing market. One of these innovations, made in Germany by Altech Advanced Materials, increases the longevity of EV batteries by 30%. Here are the details.

Innovation made in Europe: Singulus Technologies, Siemens Energy, BASF - which share offers the greatest potential?
Companies in Europe, like Singulus Technologies, are leaders in the production of surface materials in future-oriented sectors such as photovoltaics, semiconductors, medical technology and cosmetics. This is reason enough to take a closer look at Europe as a location. The European Commission is determined to push ahead with CO₂ reduction with all its might and subsidize future energies. They would prefer to lock out Chinese companies that produce solar and wind turbines more cost-effectively than Siemens Energy. However, China is also an excellent place to do business. Chemical giant BASF strategically adheres to long-term contracts, in line with the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu. Which share offers the greatest potential for investors?

Big Tech in focus - get in or get out? 100% with Singulus, caution for Nvidia and Super Micro Computer!
The direction for the second quarter is still uncertain in the stock markets. Big Tech stocks have so far more than met investors' expectations, but they have not risen across the board for two weeks. This is also causing the NASDAQ 100 index to enter a consolidation phase, which delivered a significant downward swing just last Thursday. The global markets are still characterized by ample liquidity and the hope that the central banks will cut interest rates by the early summer. However, the upward movement has become very selective. Fueled by a flood of money for the "Magnificent Seven", other major markets, such as the Nikkei 225 and the DAX 40 index, also reached new highs. However, investors should now be on their guard, as a correction could be lurking after the upcoming dividend round in April. We delve a little deeper.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, RWE - Use the dip in electrification companies for your portfolio
The future is electric. With the growing number of electric vehicles, energy storage technologies are also gaining enormous importance. These technologies form the backbone of a reliable, environmentally friendly energy landscape - they store energy from renewable sources and ensure that electricity flows even when the sun and wind are taking a break. Such progress not only promises a smaller ecological footprint but also a new era of energy independence. We have selected three companies that are helping with electrification.

Desert Gold Ventures, Barrick, Intel - Stagflation in the US as a gold price turbo?
Gold has reached another record level of over USD 2,300 per ounce. Investors are betting that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates later this year. Gold has been on an upward trend since mid-February. On the one hand, it has a reputation for maintaining or increasing its value during periods of inflation. On the other hand, it is seen as a store of value should FIAT money be significantly devalued - after all, gold has been considered a currency for millennia. For Desert Gold Ventures, the timing is right to complete its exploration drilling program in Africa. Demand for the precious metal is unabated. These are good times for gold explorers and producers. Barrick CEO Mark Bristow suspects stagflation in the US, which will further drive up the price of gold. Declining economy and rising inflation? It is not a suitable environment for US companies. One company seemingly lagging behind is Intel. The Company issued a profit warning this week. We take a look at what this means for investors.

+100% and more with momentum stocks: AIXTRON, BASF, Exasol
Surprise! BASF shares have gained around 25% since mid-January. And the momentum could continue. Analysts see further upside potential. But there are also skeptical voices. In contrast, the Exasol share has only just taken off. The German AI hopeful has reported orders, the share has left the downward trend, and management is buying. Analysts believe the share could perform by more than 100%. At least it is certainly not expensive. Investors in AIXTRON are still waiting for the upward trend. Speculation has stalled the share price recovery for the time being. However, there are also optimistic voices from analysts.

BYD, Cardiol Therapeutics, Super Micro Computer - Stock market gains thanks to innovation and specialization
In the dynamic stock market environment, companies that invest in innovative technologies and specialization at an early stage stand out with above-average success.

Through clever diversification and pioneering work in new technology fields, such as cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, Amazon has developed into one of the most valuable corporations. For investors, Amazon's rise underlines the golden opportunities: those with the foresight to invest in future-oriented companies can achieve above-average profits. We have selected three companies that aim to follow this path or have partially already done so.

HelloFresh about to be taken over? Bayer for the anti-cyclical investor! Altech Advanced Materials convinces: Opportunities with turnaround stocks!
Bayer shares gained around 7% last week. Is this the turnaround after the stock reached a multi-year low? The Altech Advanced Materials share is also working on an upward trend. The German battery hopeful has published a promising feasibility study. Their stationary storage systems are significantly more profitable than, for example, Tesla's MegaPacks. HelloFresh shareholders have been brought back to reality in recent weeks. After a decline of almost 80% in 6 months, is the share now ripe for a turnaround? Could there even be a takeover?
