EU gets serious about hydrogen: Pure Hydrogen, NEL, Air Liquide
The European hydrogen transition could get a boost thanks to the EU's new Hydrogen Mechanism. This matchmaking portal aims to bring together suppliers and buyers of hydrogen in the EU, thereby making the market more transparent. The idea behind it is that if potential buyers are visible and purchase agreements for hydrogen are concluded, the market will get going. Until now, the hydrogen transition has struggled with a classic chicken-and-egg problem: without investment, there is no supply, and without supply, there is no demand. We examine what this new initiative could mean for companies and why smaller suppliers such as Pure Hydrogen could benefit in particular.

Pure excitement! Take advantage of the current correction with UMT United Mobility Technology, Aixtron, and AMD!
Tech stocks are currently correcting. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniably an unbroken trend. AMD CEO Lisa Su expects the AI market to be worth USD 1 trillion by 2030. It is absolutely healthy to let some of the air out of the sometimes ambitious valuations. Apart from the well-known names, there are many mid-caps, small-caps, and micro-caps whose potential is only slowly being recognized. We take a look across the industry.

Safe havens with dividends of almost 10%: RE Royalties, Enbridge, Realty Income
The euphoria surrounding artificial intelligence has driven tech stocks to dizzying heights—but not without increasing risk. Stefan Hoops, CEO of asset manager DWS, recently warned that the explosive rise in the price of many AI stocks is increasingly resembling a bubble and that there is "no playbook" for such a development. The situation is reminiscent of the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, when private investors also drove valuations to extremes in the final phase of the rally. While Hoops and other market experts caution that tech stocks could face a painful correction, savvy investors have already begun looking for alternatives outside the AI hype. Dividend stocks with stable, inflation-resistant business models are coming back into focus – and the associated business models that secure robust returns regardless of short-term market developments.

Gold above USD 4,000, Bitcoin and NASDAQ reeling! Formation Metals on the rise, panic at Metaplanet and DroneShield
A few weeks ago, the US government declared a state of emergency over critical metals. This triggered a massive run on all stocks related to strategic metals such as rare earths, uranium, and lithium. The announcement also proved decisive for the gold and silver markets, which have been setting new all-time highs since October before recently entering a consolidation phase. At the start of the week, buying interest in gold and silver returned, while former tech high-flyers like Metaplanet and DroneShield suffered heavy losses. For investors, the current panic across parts of the tech sector could present an opportunity. Commodity markets have been dormant for years and are now being flooded with unprecedented amounts of capital. Where should investors position themselves now?

Silver boom continues unabated – Take advantage of setbacks at Silver North Resources, First Majestic, and SMA!
In light of geopolitical tensions and real purchasing power losses, precious metal prices are on the rise – and there is no end in sight. While gold is traditionally considered a "safe haven," silver has even more advantages, as it is also in high demand from industry. Around 10 to 15% of global silver production is demanded by the solar industry each year. Silver is indispensable because it is the best electrical conductor, thus maximizing power yield. Therefore, there are significant interdependencies between solar module manufacturers, as consumers of silver, and suppliers such as silver producers.

The secret formula for stable returns: BASF, WashTec, and Volkswagen
In uncertain times, investors long for stability. Dividends not only generate returns but, above all, offer stability. The focus is shifting from speculative hype to companies with sustainable dividend policies. These quality characteristics can be found not only in large index heavyweights but also in specific niches. Three established names that should be examined more closely in this regard are BASF, WashTec, and Volkswagen.

New developments in drones – Is a growth spurt on the horizon? NEO Battery Materials, LG Chem, Albemarle
The war in Ukraine has triggered a boom in micro drones – and with it, a surge in demand for specialized battery technology. Ukrainian forces are increasingly relying on swarms of low-cost mini drones to counter larger unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), such as Iranian Shahed drones. Several trends are emerging here for investors: demand for high-performance small drone batteries is soaring, while stable supply chains free of geopolitical risks are becoming more critical than ever. This is precisely where the up-and-coming company NEO Battery Materials comes into play.

Tencent, UMT AG, and AMD make a strong statement
AI stocks are currently under pressure worldwide. Many high flyers of recent months, such as Palantir and Nvidia, are undergoing a noticeable correction. However, behind the short-term fluctuations, the structural upward trend remains unbroken. Investment in artificial intelligence continues to rise rapidly. In the long term, the technology is likely to be one of the biggest growth drivers of the coming decade, and so too will the companies that drive it forward.

Playing megatrends with the right stocks – NEO Battery Materials, XPeng, BYD
"The trend is your friend" – this is a well-known stock market adage that advises investors to take advantage of a stock's upward trend and let profits run. For investors, it is often worthwhile to focus on so-called megatrends - sectors expected to achieve dynamic growth over the coming years or decades, thanks to sustained high demand, for example, in terms of technology or socio-demographics. Artificial intelligence and robotics, as well as everything related to the defense industry, are currently very popular. Equally exciting are the areas of electromobility and battery technology. China dominates the market, and this strong position is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. However, innovations from players outside China, such as those from NEO Battery Materials, are particularly exciting. The Canadian company is implementing innovative approaches and processes that could contribute to meaningful advancements in the global battery market.

100% even before Black Week! Artificial Intelligence is now live! Palantir delivers, UMT goes full throttle, TeamViewer and D-Wave crash!
What a daily rollercoaster ride! In the past two trading weeks, the NASDAQ dropped several percent on multiple days, followed by equally sharp recoveries. Some would call it directionless, while others see the increased volatility as a precursor to falling prices. Yet, far removed from price developments, operational AI models are performing at peak levels, enabling companies to make the next quantum leap in the administration, organization, and management of recurring activities. The stock market has quickly identified its favorite candidates and sent their prices soaring, but there are followers that are already well established in practice yet remain largely unnoticed. UMT United Mobility Technology is one such gem. We take a closer look.
