Returns like out of this world: Meta Platforms, Kleos Space, Commerzbank
"The World Is Not Enough" is a James Bond movie title. In real life, too, the rich and powerful have long been pushing into other spheres. But where can investors expect paradisiacal conditions, and where is the threat of a long, lean period? We look at three stocks that promise investors access to new business models and do the investment check: Is it worth reaching for the stars?

US equities reporting season: Netflix, Snap, Meta Platforms, Aspermont - Will it continue explosively?
In October, the reporting season for the 3rd quarter started in the USA. This is a highly exciting time, as moves of up to 25% or more are not uncommon when a NASDAQ stock grossly deviates from its guidance. After years of bliss in the tech sector, a new parameter has also crept into the valuation of growth stocks: Interest rates. Discounted future cash flows represent the value of a stock today. If these are adjusted downward and valued at a higher discount due to increased interest rates, this can trigger significant price corrections in an emergency. Of course, this scenario also applies to upside surprises - a reason for further research.

Deutsche Bank, Meta Materials, Aixtron - A time for optimists
Fears of a global recession and a hard landing of the economy are becoming more likely every day. The sharp rise in the US dollar, the energy crisis in Europe and the slump in growth in China are the main reasons for the prevailing pessimism. Concerns about a further sell-off are also growing on the stock markets. Last week, for example, the Fear & Greed Index peaked at 18 with the verdict "extreme fear". In parallel, the S&P 500 also marked its interim low. Since then, the signs have been pointing to recovery, both in sentiment and on the markets. An opportunity for the optimists!

Is electric refueling getting more and more expensive? There are solutions! Mercedes-Benz, Altech Advanced Materials, Varta
Diesel is unlikely to cost less than EUR 2 per litre anytime soon. But at least modern combustion engines are considered efficient and flexible. Current media reports about electricity costs at charging stations for e-cars show a different picture. Some providers are shamelessly exploiting the shortage of charging stations and rising energy prices. Prices of EUR 0.70 per kilowatt hour are not uncommon at public charging stations. Those who fill up a lot in public areas often pay more for electromobility than for driving a combustion engine. But what does this mean for the trend toward electric driving?

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, NIO - Battle for the battery of the future
Electromobility is considered a key technology in the transformation of the transport sector. In 2021 alone, the number of new registrations, as well as the market share of battery-powered vehicles, more than doubled. In addition to the charging infrastructure, efficiency plays a decisive role in the spread of e-cars. BYD is currently the leader with its Blade battery. However, a newcomer entered the market in recent months that could shake up the battery market with a novel technology.

Buy or sell? Deutsche Bank, BASF, Kleos Space in analyst check
Bear market rally, or is the worst over? Either way, equities are trending in a friendly direction this week. This applies to value as well as technology, corporations and small caps. And analysts see further upside potential. Goldmann Sachs, for example, recommends Deutsche Bank shares as one of the sector favorites. But analysts at RBS have a much lower price target. In contrast, analysts see a price potential of over 400% for the space company Kleos Space. The Company is well financed, and in the coming year, sales could increase fivefold. Like investors, BASF's share price opportunities are also hotly debated among experts. The assessments range from sell to buy. The decisive factor for the operating development and the share will be how the gas supply situation will be in winter.

ProSiebenSat.1 Media, Aspermont, Alibaba - Growth stocks with significant rebound potential
On Friday, September 30, a key support level in the S&P 500 seemed to have fallen, but it was a false breakout, as could be seen the following Monday. A popular move by big players in the market who want to fish stops and then buy in cheaply. After the panic, the FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) phenomenon occurs. Investors who are stopped out realize their mistake and try to get back into the market as quickly as possible so as not to miss the rise. To do this, investors who have shorted the market close their positions, providing additional upside. Now it is a matter of finding the stocks that have been punished too much. We take a look at three growth stocks today.

Hydrogen shares step on the gas again: Nel ASA, Plug Power and First Hydrogen profit
Hydrogen stocks such as Nel, Plug Power and First Hydrogen made significant gains yesterday. Nel is benefiting from a million-dollar grant from the US Department of Defense, and the stock is fighting a downward trend. First Hydrogen, the year's top performer, is also driven by European expansion, its own fueling station network, and a compelling presentation at an investor conference. With the positive industry sentiment, the share prices of Plug Power and ITM Power are also picking up - in some cases, by double digits. Whether as a drive system for vehicles or as a substitute for natural gas, experts believe that hydrogen has a bright future. Governments are promoting it heavily, and companies are also making progress.

JinkoSolar, TubeSolar, Encavis - Shares for the energy turnaround
The phase-out of fossil energy generation is a done deal in Germany, but there is still a long way to go. Germany's share of renewable energies in electricity generation was 42.4% in 2021. However, this covered only 19.7% of Germany's energy consumption. Since the flare-up of the Ukraine crisis, the expansion of renewable energies is to be accelerated. A balanced mix is essential. Spring and summer are the main times for solar power, while in fall and winter, when the days are shorter, wind power is the primary source of electricity. If we want to achieve the 2030 targets, a massive expansion is essential. Today we take a look at three renewable energy companies.

Biogen, XPhyto, BioNTech: Alzheimer's disease, depression, cancer - Pharma for life
About 350 million people worldwide are affected by depression, a disorder of the brain. Each person also has a 16 to 20% chance of becoming depressed. Reason enough for the Canadian Company XPhyto Therapeutics to research a drug that is not addictive and can defeat the mental health-related medical condition. This week, Biogen, among others, achieved a breakthrough with an active substance against Alzheimer's disease. And if you follow the Bundesliga closely, you may be aware of the cases of testicular cancer among the players. Now BioNTech senses a new opportunity...
