BYD, First Phosphate, AppLovin – Unstoppable
After the numbers season reached its peak last week, the US stock markets remained closed due to Presidents' Day, which is celebrated every year on the third Monday in February and honors the Presidents of the United States, particularly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Nevertheless, the markets were in turmoil, partly due to US Vice President J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. The Ukrainian index continued to rise on the back of expected peace talks between the US and Russia, while the DAX continued its record streak, surpassing 22,700 points.

thyssenkrupp, Golden Cariboo Resources, Intel – Which comeback strategy will pay off?
In a world where raw materials are becoming scarcer, markets more volatile, and technologies more disruptive, companies face a threefold challenge: they must transform, innovate, and, at the same time, preserve their roots. This balance between tradition and the future currently shapes three publicly traded companies that could not be more different – yet all three have long histories to look back on. thyssenkrupp, a former industrial giant, is in the midst of a transformation. Golden Cariboo Resources, with its "Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine," can trace its history back to 1865 and has recently presented exciting drilling results. Meanwhile, Intel, a semiconductor giant, is grappling with the aftermath of a technological sprint that has catapulted the industry into a new era.

Alibaba, Credissential, MicroStrategy – Innovative business models: where is the hidden potential?
This week, the latest announcement by the US Federal Reserve that key interest rates would remain unchanged for the time being only briefly provided some reassurance. Instead, concerns about the ongoing risk of stagflation and the disruptive power of artificial intelligence are dominating the debate. Three companies, seemingly separated by industries and national borders, have more in common than first glance suggests: they have all deeply embedded digitalization in their DNA and are pursuing growth strategies. Today, we look at which business models could face challenges due to US tariffs and which ones appear safe.

Baidu, dynaCERT, BYD – Using the Trump hammer
After the Trump trades and the subsequent rally, is the Trump hammer coming next? After the stock markets reached historic highs in recent weeks, a sharp correction followed on Monday. The reason for this was the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, Mexico, and China. The consolidation could continue to expand, given that the Buffett Indicator, which looks at the market capitalization of all US companies in relation to economic output, is at an all-time high. Nevertheless, there are undervalued value stocks that could escape the downtrend.

Alibaba, Credissential, ASML – Profiteers and losers of the AI quake
Last week, the new Chinese chatbot DeepSeek caused the stock markets, particularly semiconductor stocks, to falter. Chip giant Nvidia lost 17% of its market value in one day and almost USD 600 billion in market capitalization. Whether DeepSeek can truly follow in the footsteps of ChatGPT after the initial euphoria is questionable. However, new models are coming to market that could steal market share from the established players in the future.

4,000% stock Carvana: TeamViewer, Bitcoin Group, Zalando, and Credissential offer opportunities
Away from the big tech stocks, multipliers are waiting. One example from the US is Carvana, which has risen 4,000% in two years. Credissential aims to challenge the online used car dealer. The startup wants to provide brick-and-mortar used car dealers with a response against Carvana using artificial intelligence. Scaling is planned for 2025. If successful, the stock is much too cheap. In the DAX, Zalando offers significant upside potential. The online retailer is back on the growth path and plans to compete with Shein and Temu through the acquisition of About You, with analysts recommending a "Buy". By contrast, TeamViewer's stock lacks momentum. Analyst opinions are divided. And is the Bitcoin Group stock finally waking up?

Volkswagen, Nova Pacific Metals, D-Wave Quantum – Is a trade war about to break out?
Donald Trump is the new president of the United States of America, and he is moving at a rapid pace. On his first day, he issued several decrees, and his inaugural address was also impactful. He announced tariffs on imports. Goods from Mexico and Canada will be subject to 25% customs duties. And tariffs of up to 60% are being considered for products from China. If the US isolates itself like this, China, in particular, could significantly restrict its raw material exports, and the trade war would be officially underway. The race for critical raw materials has already begun. Trump has already put out feelers to Greenland and Canada. Where will high-tech industries source their raw materials from in the future?

The keywords are "momentum & liquidity" – is fundamental analysis useless?
