As the newspaper estimates, this market situation is favorable for investors and ensures robust margins. We get to the bottom of the chip boom and explain where investors can find opportunities and where risks lie.

Analysts enthusiastic about figures - K+S, Meta Materials, Deutsche Telekom
The second quarter results season is slowly drawing to a close. Overall, most companies were again able to surprise on the upside despite recession fears and supply chain problems. In addition, forecasts for the year were largely maintained despite risks relating to energy procurement and costs. Due to the correction in the first half of the year, many companies offer attractive entry opportunities at their current levels. In addition, analysts see price increases of over 50% for various stocks.

Rheinmetall, Kleos Space, Palantir - Is the Ukraine war spreading?
On July 27, the NATO Defense College presented a report warning of an attack by Russia on a NATO ally. According to the report, Russia could establish a military buffer zone. Initially, this would primarily affect countries of the former Soviet Union, first and foremost Moldova. In addition, analysts assume that Russia has not yet demonstrated its full military strength in Ukraine and can also quickly compensate for current losses. If the assumptions are correct, the war will continue for a while. We therefore take a look at three companies that should benefit.

Buy after the price slide? Tocvan Ventures, Palantir, Bayer
The stock markets have continued to move upwards since their lows in mid-June, with the DAX easily breaking the 13,600 mark. The precious metals and crypto markets also look sunnier in the hot August. One reason for the good mood, in addition to the pleasant temperatures, is the positive course of the reporting season for the second quarter. Still, there are outliers to the downside that represent a potential long-term buying opportunity despite below-forecast numbers.

Invest where the money is: Deutsche Bank, Aspermont, Commerzbank
As Handelsblatt wrote yesterday, inflation may have peaked: The oil price and freight rate curves are now pointing downward again. Grain exports from Ukraine have also caused food prices to fall again. This is a ray of hope for the economy. Financial stocks, in particular, could enjoy an attractive market environment in just a few months. We highlight the two major German banks, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank, and the Australian fintech and media company, Aspermont.

Split fantasy: Amazon, Alphabet, Viva Gold, Tesla - Shares with top prospects!
Now the tide has turned again. The crash hysteria has disappeared, and bond prices are gradually recovering. The yield for 10-year German government bonds fell in the last 6 weeks completely surprisingly from the high at 1.75% to under 0.90% - that does not look like a boom. The specter of inflation is also slowly losing its scare, with oil prices now consolidating by more than USD 25 from their recent highs. The pressure on central banks to raise interest rates is thus easing considerably, giving equities the necessary room for positive momentum again. We take a look at promising stocks.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - Chip shortage will continue in 2022
The chip shortage is not only omnipresent in the automotive industry. Most recently, AOK was no longer able to issue electronic health cards to its policyholders because the chips were missing. According to McKinsey, the semiconductor industry is expected to grow by 6-8% annually until 2030. Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan could further fuel the chip crisis in the future. It is important to know that the island nation produces about two-thirds of all microchips needed worldwide. There is a latent danger that China will want to annex Taiwan. The USA is already trying to make itself less dependent on Asia. To that end, a USD 369 billion semiconductor manufacturing stimulus bill has been passed by Congress. Today we look at three companies that will benefit from the investment.

Meta Materials, JinkoSolar, BioNTech - Smart technologies as growth boosters
Solar and photovoltaic companies have been hot in the financial markets since the shifts in the energy market. Chinese supplier JinkoSolar, for example, is now launching solar batteries for home use. Smart buildings are an important component in urban city planning. Where there is plenty of sunshine, its energy is converted for personal use, and Australian residents are benefiting from JinkoSolar's technology. In order to increase the efficiency of such energy sources, Meta Materials offers innovative solutions that make solar systems even more cost-effective. Thanks to numerous patents, they also have a business model, which will please long-term investors in terms of growth opportunities. Rather unpleasant, however, are the measures planned by the German government for the coming fall and winter. Masks or vaccination is the calculation, which will at least bring some joy to BioNTech shareholders.

Currently, the season for the publication of the figures for the second quarter is also underway. Here it becomes clear which companies you can build on in the future or which title you should remove from your portfolio.

Nel, Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes - It is getting exciting!
The challenges for the implementation of the energy turnaround are great. The desire to make greater use of renewable energy sources increased in light of the Ukraine war and the dependence on Russia that has become visible. Even after the highs of the Corona pandemic, supply chain issues and increased commodity prices continue to weigh. China's sabre-rattling illustrates that globalization not only brings benefits but also creates dependencies. In this respect, it is prudent for countries and industries to increasingly rely on national "solutions" or those that emanate from secure jurisdictions. In the megatrends of hydrogen technology and electromobility, investors should also keep an eye out for exciting companies from the second tier.
