BASF, F3 Uranium, Amazon - From geothermal energy to uranium: Three companies shaping the future of energy
The global energy transition is taking concrete shape: chemical giant BASF and Australian geothermal specialist Vulcan Energy are forging a groundbreaking alliance for green heat and lithium production in Ludwigshafen. The momentum in the energy sector is further strengthened by the nuclear power renaissance. F3 Uranium is positioning itself with high-grade uranium discoveries in Canada's Athabasca Basin to capitalize on the upcoming demand boom. The expected doubling of uranium demand by 2030 and the planned strategic uranium reserve in the US from 2025 promise strong growth for the sector. Meanwhile, tech giant Amazon is securing its future power supply in the European market by investing billions in Greek wind farms. These developments highlight how large corporations are driving the transformation of energy supply systems.

Gold correction - Now is the time to take advantage of the lows! Takeover rumors at Evotec, Desert Gold, Bayer and SMCI
The re-election of Donald Trump as US President had varying effects on the capital markets. The US dollar gained against all currencies, while the hot topic Bitcoin reached new all-time highs of over USD 90,000. The enormous influx of funds into the US stock markets initially slowed down other exchanges. At the same time, the previously sought-after precious metals corrected sharply, putting pressure on mining stocks again. The first shockwaves have now been absorbed, and attention is turning to the real political issues that the White House will now push forward. Defense, industry, and security are in the spotlight, while biotech and green tech remain sidelined. There are some interesting special movements that we will examine here.

123fahrschule, Intel, Mercedes-Benz - Between disruption and evolution: New business models in focus
Companies in Germany and the US are undergoing a profound transformation: Traditional business models are being digitally transformed, and established market leaders must defend their positions. As Germany's largest driving school chain, 123fahrschule SE is revolutionizing a EUR 2.75 billion market through digitalization and driving simulator technology. From 2025, 50% of theory lessons can be done online - a turning point for the industry. Despite a solid financial position, Mercedes-Benz is struggling with a profit decline in the third quarter of 2024 from EUR 3.4 billion to EUR 1.2 billion. The premium manufacturer is investing heavily in e-mobility, while around 140,000 jobs in the German automotive industry will be lost by 2035. Intel, which has left the Dow Jones after 25 years, is transforming from a pure processor manufacturer to a contract manufacturer. With the new Intel 18A technology and planned cost savings of USD 10 billion by 2025, the chip giant is showing the first signs of success in its transformation.

JinkoSolar, Globex Mining, ZEAL Network – Potential not yet realized
After a six-week streak in the green, the Dow Jones closed the past trading week in the red. In contrast, the Nasdaq technology exchange and the gold price reached new historic highs, while silver reached its highest level in 12 years. In this area in particular, enormous opportunities lie dormant for producers and smaller mining companies, which have so far been unable to benefit from the current precious metal boom on the stock exchange.

More than 100% upside potential! Bayer, Plug Power and 123fahrschule – Which stock is convincing?
Analysts see more than a 100% upside potential in the 123fahrschule stock. The exciting second-line stock wants to make driver education more modern and efficient and is getting support from politicians. Accordingly, sales and profits should rise sharply. Plug Power can also show rising sales, but like industry colleague Nel, the Americans are unable to get a grip on their losses. Will the quarterly figures turn things around? Bayer shareholders have been waiting for a turnaround for quite some time. But analysts also expect falling profits in the coming quarterly report.

BP, dynaCERT, and Amazon – Substantial profits through new markets
Under the leadership of its new CEO, the oil and gas giant BP is scaling back its ambitious climate targets. Even if the policy of some countries would prefer to focus on zero emissions, transitional technologies are needed between fossil fuels and renewable energies. It is precisely at this interface that the technology company dynaCERT is developing applicable solutions for CO₂ reduction for diesel engines. The Company has now received certification from the renowned organization Verra according to the latest and globally valid CO₂ standards. The Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) program is the world leader in the certification of carbon credits. This certification opens up an additional market for dynaCERT and its investors, from which shareholders also benefit. Amazon, in turn, is using AI to improve both efficiency in its warehouses and the sustainability of its logistics. We take a look at the growth opportunities in detail.

The DAX is on a high, with potential for 100% gains in turnaround stocks like TUI, Lufthansa, 123fahrschule, BYD, and VW!
Despite geopolitical uncertainties, slow economic growth, and still high inflation, the market outlook is improving. It is important to remember that stock markets look 6 to 9 months ahead.

After months of a tech rally, the focus is now turning to lagging stocks. In the automotive sector, we are looking at VW and BYD, and the tourism sector is also picking up again.

Each of these stocks has the potential to deliver more than 100% gains over the next 24 months. Here is our analysis.
