Plug Power and BYD shares are strong: when will Almonty Industries take off?
In weak stock market phases, the top performers of the future often emerge. The Plug Power share, among others, is currently shining due to its relative strength. The weak quarterly figures of the hydrogen specialist Plug Power seem to have been ticked off. Instead, the focus is on political support and a large order. The BYD share is also holding up excellently against the backdrop of the ongoing lockdown in China. There is a tailwind from Credit Suisse, and the new premium model is well received. At Almonty Industries, the CEO expressed confidence about the outlook at an investor conference. The Company is fully financed and will soon dominate the tungsten market outside China and Russia.

RWE, Almonty Industries, Daimler Truck - Increasing signs of strength
The world's stock markets are staggering, but a further sell-off has so far been avoided. The German stock market barometer DAX is also showing strength. After another slide below the psychologically important 14,000-point mark, it has been possible to regain it significantly. Now, an important downward trend that has been in place since the beginning of the current stock market year awaits. Should this be broken, a more significant recovery should take place and provide further relief. The development of many individual stocks looks similarly positive. After stronger corrections, share prices are once again pointing north.

Adler Group, Amazon, Almonty - Free fall and strong growth
Investing in real estate is becoming increasingly volatile, whether as a landlord due to higher energy prices or as an investor in the Adler Group. In the latter case, auditor KPMG did not put an audit certificate on the 2021 annual financial statements because it remains unclear how the loss of around EUR 1 billion came about. The share slid into the basement, and four board members resigned. A look across the pond at Amazon, and Amazon Web Services, in particular, shows what can help a balanced portfolio mix. Boeing, the Seattle-based company, has gained a significant customer in the aviation industry. In this industry, the rare earth metal tungsten is in great demand. Thanks to its high density, it protects against radiation and is used for this purpose in the sheathing of aircraft. We take a look at what investors should watch out for now.

BASF, Standard Lithium, Almonty Industries, BYD - Industrial shares in focus: Now it matters!
Poland and Bulgaria no longer receive gas from Russia because they cannot pay in hard rubles. Feat: No one has larger stocks of this exotic currency because until now, all energy deliveries could be paid for in foreign currency. The situation has reached a new level of escalation between the Russian government and resource-hungry Central Europe. With further arms deliveries, this political issue will become even more acute. We look at existing dependencies and the dangers for German industrial stocks.

BioNTech, Almonty Industries, Steinhoff - Which share will be the first to have its lid fly off?
Some stocks repeatedly experience longer sideways phases on the stock market, even though their operating performance is good. Here it is worthwhile for an investor to take a closer look in order to anticipate the right time for an entry. One can fall back on the chart technique, watch the newsflow, and analyze the fundamental data more closely. If you are convinced of a company, you can build up a position, especially in sideways markets. Today, we look at three companies where the current lid could fly off in the future.

A crisis here, an opportunity there: BASF, Almonty, Plug Power
Quarterly figures and many upcoming annual general meetings will bring to light what has been somewhat abstractly clear for weeks: many industrial companies are in serious danger. Yesterday it became known that the Russian army is said to have sprayed an unknown substance over Mariupol. If it was poison gas, the West would be forced to react. It cannot be ruled out that oil from Russia will be the next to be hit. Just how dependent companies like BASF are on Russian energy recently became clear. We examine three stocks and their opportunities and risks in this market phase.

K+S, Almonty Industries, Barrick - Full speed ahead!
Across the board, commodity prices are going through the roof. Consumers and industry are already feeling the effects. Some price increases will only hit consumers with a time lag. Inflation, which recently rose above 7% in Germany, appears far from having reached its peak. The beneficiaries of the supply shortage are raw material producers. Their profitability and company valuations should continue to rise.

Alarm bells ringing: Shares of Nel ASA, K+S and Almonty Industries take off
There is a mood of alarm in German politics and business these days. The reason - prices for critical raw materials are going through the roof, and the security of supply is in question. BMW, Daimler, and Volkswagen have to shut down plants due to a shortage of nickel. And the stress factor is also high in medium-sized companies. Take tungsten, for example. "The sources are drying up at the moment, which is causing problems in procurement," says Johannes Schmidt in an interview with the FAZ. He is chairman of the board of the medium-sized holding Company Indus and thus has an overview of the situation in various industries. Although China is the largest tungsten producer, German companies have often ordered from Russia. On the other hand, commodity companies such as Almonty Industries, K+S and Nel are profiting. Their shares are taking off.

SGL Carbon, Almonty Industries, HeidelbergCement - Prices are going through the roof
Supply chain disruptions and shortages of certain raw materials were already occurring well before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Last year, for example, the shortage of semiconductors in the automotive industry already led to short-time working and production plant closures. Current geopolitical tensions are exacerbating inflationary developments. For the first time, the central banks are attempting to counteract this. However, a further escalation of the price spiral is anything but unlikely. The profiteers here are the commodity producers.

BASF, Almonty Industries, Bayer - These stocks are providing the momentum
New battery technology from BASF promises faster charging times. The Ludwigshafen-based conglomerate talks of 15 minutes for charging an e-car with a 600km range. New batteries require the appropriate materials, such as the element tungsten. In this area, Almonty Industries provides supplies thanks to its resource-rich mine in South Korea. Meanwhile, Bayer AG in Leverkusen is busy shrinking itself back to health. Bayer's stock has been rising somewhat since it was announced that it was divesting its pest control division.
