BASF, Meta Materials, Siemens Gamesa - Significant acceleration
The stock market year 2021, an extremely successful one, is almost history. As expected, due to the Corona pandemic, vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech, Moderna and Valneva are among the new stock market stars. In the technology sector, chip manufacturers such as Nvidia and AMD performed particularly well, boosted by the shortage of semiconductors. Which themes will dominate the coming stock market year? In addition to cloud computing and artificial intelligence, companies focusing on new materials essential for the future are likely to benefit.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - The chip market remains hot
First and foremost, the automotive sector suffered from a lack of chips in 2021. Blaming everything on Corona alone is too short-sighted. The pandemic is certainly a factor, but the rapid economic recovery caught companies off guard. Added to this was digitization, partly also pandemic-related, which boosted demand for semiconductors more than the already high structural semiconductor demand. A few weather-related production stoppages and disrupted supply chains later, the situation was as it currently stands. Intel does not expect the situation to slowly calm down until 2023. Reason enough to take a look at three chip manufacturers.

+900% with Nvidia still not enough? Are Valneva and BrainChip on the verge of a breakthrough?
2021 was not a good year overall for technology and growth stocks. In particular, companies with a business model not yet profitable had a hard time. They included Peloton and Zoom. One of the top performers in the Nasdaq-100 was the Nvidia share. The chip giant benefits from several trends at once, such as artificial intelligence and the metaverse. If UBS has its way, then 900% price gains in the past three years are not enough. For the analysts of the Swiss bank, the chip stock is the "Top Pick 2022". BrainChip is still a long way from the chip Olympus, but the Company could make a breakthrough in the coming year. The same applies to Valneva, as many are waiting for the dead vaccine, and the stock is still valued relatively low.

BioNTech, Memiontec, Bayer - Catastrophic conditions
There is no question that the Corona pandemic must be fought by all means. Nevertheless, apart from the virus and the question of vaccination, testing and boosters, there are far worse problems on our planet. For example, did you know that in the top daily news, it is reported that some 2.2 billion people have no sustainable, safe and readily available access to drinking water? Or that 361,000 children under the age of five die each year from diarrheal diseases caused by dirty water and contaminated food? The issue of water will be increasingly prominent in the headlines over the next few years. You can already invest in tomorrow's winners.

Apple, Meta Materials, Daimler: Tesla looks down the tube
Innovation is everything when it comes to gaining new market share. Those who lead the way in innovation automatically have a head start that few competitors can catch up on. Just think of Apple's iPhone. By the time Samsung caught up with the Android operating system, the tastiest pieces of the pie had already been distributed: Those who have no problem spending EUR 1000 for a smartphone have often been loyal to Apple since the first years of the iPhone. And that is one of the reasons why Apple is posting good figures quarter after quarter.

Memiontec, E.ON, RWE - Fighting the crisis with basic services!
A ghost is haunting the world - the ghost of inflation. With 6.8% for November, the USA reports the highest rate since June 1982. 5.2% inflation in Germany was also the highest in 30 years. Central banks are under pressure to act, and tension is rising on the stock markets. Experts expect inflationary pressure to ease again somewhat in 2022. However, no one knows whether new variants of the Coronavirus will again trigger disruptions in supply chains. In such cases, in addition to tangible assets and commodities, shares in companies that provide basic supplies are recommended. Here are interesting candidates that could provide a safe haven for investment.

United Internet, BrainChip, Software AG - Promising further growth!
Growth strategy and the use of innovative technologies are often decisive for the continued existence of a company. Not only in large corporations, as seen in the example of SAP with the expansion of the cloud business, but the conventional business areas are also hardly sufficient anymore. A generation change is also taking place in the production of semiconductors. The market for chips for artificial intelligence is currently experiencing a real hype, which is likely to accelerate in the coming years. Smaller companies, in particular, have a head start in terms of know-how.

Meta Materials, SAP, Palantir - Well prepared for the future!
New technologies are entering the mainstream ever faster. Cloud computing, machine learning using artificial intelligence and autonomous driving are coming out of the research departments and are influencing the economy and society to a great extent. In materials management, too, research is being conducted into new materials that have the prerequisites for turning the tide. Metamaterials are artificial materials that have specific optical, magnetic or electrical properties that do not exist in nature. A rosy future lies ahead for the market leader.

E.ON, Memiontec, Nordex, Siemens Energy - Well supplied with water, wind and sun!
Utility stocks led a shadowy existence for a long time. Too little sexy, too little growth! But with the political closing of ranks in Glasgow, the tide has turned worldwide in favor of climate investments. Again, it is about the old discussions on coal and a nuclear phase-out in exchange for the further expansion of renewable energies such as water, wind and sun. However, there are already 30,000 wind turbines in Germany with a combined capacity of 56 gigawatts and another 60 gigawatts of installed photovoltaic peak capacity, which already replaces a good 80 nuclear power plants - if the wind blows constantly and the sun shines properly. Who else can grow in this environment?

BYD, Kleos Space, Airbus, Boeing - This could go wrong again!
The states are again on the verge of tightening all known measures to contain the pandemic. The tourism and aviation industries are always strongly affected by this. The investor can bypass this issue. After all, those who focus on technological achievements related to aviation and aerospace can profit from the increased business volumes in sometimes very disruptive areas. An example here would be Big Data and security technology. These are two booming sectors that are setting many an old-school business ablaze. We are looking at stocks from the high-tech industry in 2021, where the right choice was the trump card.
