Palantir, Power Nickel, Meyer Burger - Top News Triggers Share Price Explosion
Investors are becoming more cautious about the major indices, and the danger of a correction on the DAX, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq has not yet been averted.

Due to outstanding news, Power Nickel, in particular, recorded a three-month performance of around 300%.

IPOs, Takeovers and Mergers - Here we go again! Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Nel ASA, and Cavendish
Every day, new records on the NASDAQ make investors' dreams come true, but at the end of last week, there were the first signs of a correction, with top stock Nvidia losing 10% from its peak. This is a minor setback after a rise of almost 100% since mid-April. The IPO market is also picking up again as newcomers want to seize the opportunity. The Norwegian hydrogen pioneer Nel ASA successfully floated its filling station subsidiary on the stock exchange. This creates more transparency within the Company and fills the coffers. While Varta has issued another revenue warning, Altech Advanced Materials is launching its new battery technologies. In terms of achievements, "Made in Germany" is still "top", but the right stock selection remains the trump card.

Apple, Kraken Energy, Palantir - Network effect for market expansion, who is ahead?

The 100% opportunity with Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: Nvidia, Softing, Microsoft and Super Micro Computer!
Big Data, Web 3.0, IOTA and Artificial Intelligence are terms of the modern age. When the internet and high-tech stocks saw the light of day on the stock exchange during the dot-com bubble at the end of the 1990s, there were hundreds of companies with an idea but only a few customers, rarely any turnover, and certainly no profit. Now, 25 years later, computing power has increased a hundredfold, and the possibilities seem endless. Data for industry is finally usable, and consumers' usage behavior shows where manufacturers need to focus their products. We are in the age of complete transparency about movements, purchasing behavior and opinions. Large Internet companies such as Microsoft, Google and Apple have trillions of pieces of data at their disposal and the fastest mainframe computers to analyze them accordingly. With the deployment of machine learning, artificial intelligence knows no bounds. The stock market thrives on these advancements, with high-tech and AI stocks continuing to promise significant potential. However, it is worth taking a look at undiscovered followers.

HelloFresh, First Hydrogen, Amazon: Growth in the Courier, Express, and Parcel industry
The courier, express, and parcel industry (CEP) is a true growth engine. CEP companies currently employ almost 260,000 people, more than 50% more than ten years ago. Consumers worldwide are increasingly opting for direct deliveries to their homes, whether for food or retail orders. The food company HelloFresh is benefiting from this. The figures from the first quarter of 2024 impress analysts and investors alike. Increasing delivery traffic in cities needs new solutions. This is where First Hydrogen comes into play. The Company focuses on hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles for urban deliveries. The advantage of First Hydrogen's vans is their unbeatable range of over 600 km with just a single refueling. Amazon is also scaling up its food delivery services. In the US, they are enticing Prime subscribers to take advantage of delivery benefits for groceries. This is not at all popular in Europe and violates many consumer laws. We provide the details.

Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW
The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.

Volkswagen, Altech Advanced Materials, BYD - who can benefit from China's rise
Chinese companies such as BYD benefit from state subsidies and domestic access to raw materials. BYD's subsidies have risen from EUR 220 million in just three years to EUR 2.1 billion. These sums are helping BYD dominate the Chinese electric vehicle market and increasingly penetrate the European market. Volkswagen cannot escape the pull of China either. As part of its "In China, for China" strategy, Volkswagen is expanding its cooperation network with Chinese partners. The aim is to reduce costs significantly in the development of EV technology. For companies like Altech Advanced Materials, close cooperation with Chinese market leaders such as BYD and Volkswagen offers the opportunity to commercialize innovative battery technologies that meet the needs of the changing market. One of these innovations, made in Germany by Altech Advanced Materials, increases the longevity of EV batteries by 30%. Here are the details.

Innovation made in Europe: Singulus Technologies, Siemens Energy, BASF - which share offers the greatest potential?
Companies in Europe, like Singulus Technologies, are leaders in the production of surface materials in future-oriented sectors such as photovoltaics, semiconductors, medical technology and cosmetics. This is reason enough to take a closer look at Europe as a location. The European Commission is determined to push ahead with CO₂ reduction with all its might and subsidize future energies. They would prefer to lock out Chinese companies that produce solar and wind turbines more cost-effectively than Siemens Energy. However, China is also an excellent place to do business. Chemical giant BASF strategically adheres to long-term contracts, in line with the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu. Which share offers the greatest potential for investors?
