Thinking locally opens up new possibilities: SAP, Meta Platforms, naoo
Digital communication is bringing the world closer together. Our friends may live all over the world, yet we can still share even the smallest moments with them. Being connected does not just help bridge long distances - it also brings people together in our immediate surroundings. Networks can foster friendships or spark new business opportunities locally as well. Using the business models of SAP, Meta, and naoo, we show how technology is changing things locally and making the world a better place.

Discount hunt: TUI, Veganz Group, and Super Micro Computer as underrated cash generators
Strategic investors are always on the lookout for price setbacks to seize rare entry points into quality stocks. The reasons for the setback can be short-term economic concerns, seasonal weakness, or, in the best case, profit-taking. As long as fundamental indicators point only to a healthy interim correction, such events have historically often been precursors to above-average returns. The focus is now on resilient companies with intact growth paths whose valuations have been attractively adjusted. Three promising candidates that embody these "buy-the-dip" opportunities across different markets are in the spotlight: TUI, Veganz, and Super Micro Computer.

Palantir, Rheinmetall, RENK, and Dryden Gold: Winners in the crossfire of trade war and NATO agenda
Tariffs, defense, and infrastructure! No wonder there is a considerable gap of around EUR 172 billion in the German federal budget between 2027 and 2029. Although the federal government is attempting to counter this with spending cuts, tax increases will ultimately be necessary, as migration and climate costs are also taking their toll. Those in government who now have to juggle everything at once are in for a rough ride! Government revenues are expected to continue to decline due to the sluggish economy and high inflation, meaning the government will face higher refinancing costs due to rising interest rates. For investors, this means that the price of gold is likely to increase further, making selective investments in precious metals a sensible move. We will briefly analyze whether there is still room for growth in the well-performing defense and military stocks.

Apple, Veganz Group, and Mastercard with big surprises
The past trading week on the stock market was eventful, particularly with the release of second-quarter figures. While heavyweights like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Apple delivered impressive results, there was nevertheless a sharp sell-off at the end of the week. Market participants cited the ambitious valuations of tech giants and the "sell on good news" effect as reasons for this. In contrast, one Berlin-based company offers sufficient room for maneuver, having delivered excellent figures and unveiling a strategic realignment that has caught the attention of investors.

AMD, Veganz Group, and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG on a roll
The current trading week promises pure excitement and could bring a surprise or two. In the coming days, nearly 40% of S&P companies will report on their second-quarter performance. Figures from heavyweights such as Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Visa, Apple, and Amazon are likely to keep the markets on their toes. Outside of the flood of figures, several companies shone with outstanding announcements, which investors rewarded with additional purchases.

Drone hype: Who is getting the best deal? Volatus Aerospace, Renault, Rheinmetall
The days of tanks and howitzers are over. The war in Ukraine shows that drones are changing the face of combat—they provide reconnaissance, carry out precision strikes, and score points with low acquisition costs and high effectiveness. It is no wonder that major arms manufacturers and industrial companies want to jump on the drone bandwagon. Renault has even been asked by the French government to enter the business. But the barriers to entry in this market are high. We explain who is likely to profit from the drone business in the future and why size and capital are no guarantee of long-term success.

Trump tariffs settled? What are the triggers now? Palantir, naoo AG, TeamViewer, and D-Wave
With the US-EU agreement on tariffs, markets opened positively yesterday but quickly slipped into negative territory. The reason: the agreement is widely viewed as a "loss-making deal" for the EU. While tariffs of over 20% were averted, 15% still remain. In return, NATO must purchase substantial US military equipment, while US vehicle exports to the EU remain tariff-free. Donald Trump could not have negotiated better himself - a diplomatic failure for Brussels. The decision will have a significant impact on the EU's automotive sector, luxury and consumer goods industries, and technology sector. For example, European wine will cost US consumers about 30% more, factoring in currency losses, which is devastating for European winemakers. All in all, this deal is considered a major setback for free trade, with serious inflationary consequences and declining consumer demand. Investors should reposition themselves, as late summer looks stormy from this perspective alone.

Key technology in the fight against cancer? Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma, AstraZeneca
Do you know what aerobic glycolysis is? No? Have you ever heard of the Warburg effect? Both terms describe the same phenomenon: cancer cells utilize glucose to produce lactate, even in the presence of oxygen and fully functional mitochondria. This is what distinguishes cancer cells from healthy cells. Current research suggests that targeted interventions in the Warburg effect could be suitable for killing cancer cells or making them more receptive to other therapies. Companies around the world are pushing forward research into this effect – the goal is nothing less than curing cancer. We present some of the companies and analyze whether their stocks could be good investments.

Buying frenzy on the NASDAQ – Another 200% with D-Wave, MiMedia, and Super Micro Computer?
New record highs every day – a joy for investors, but a source of stress for fund managers. Time and again in history, stock markets have risen unchecked, only to be followed by an equally unexpected correction. This usually happens when there is a high degree of complacency. One indicator of investor sentiment is the so-called Fear & Greed Index. With values above 75 out of 100, it has been in the "Extreme Greed" zone for weeks now. But as a famous quote from the 1987 movie "Wall Street" said: "Greed is good!" We examine a few stocks with promising prospects and are betting on a continuation of the remarkable rally.
