More Power Requires More Infrastructure! Opportunities for Phenom Resources, Siemens Energy and Nordex?
The energy transition requires grids, power plants, storage systems and raw materials. Electricity must be transported reliably, supplied when needed and stored cost-effectively. This creates opportunities across the entire value chain. Siemens Energy is benefiting from growing demand for energy infrastructure, with its order books full. However, doubts about the AI boom are also mounting. Nordex significantly exceeded expectations with its quarterly results and raised its margin target for the current year. Its shares initially surged before profit-taking set in. Phenom Resources is broadly diversified. The exploration company offers investors exposure to vanadium, gold and other areas. Which share will take off now?

VW, Strategic Resources, Infineon: EVs, Raw Materials and Chips - Three perspectives on the Auto Industry's Transformation
In September, more than one in three new cars registered in Germany was fully electric. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), battery-electric vehicles accounted for 34.5% of new registrations. Automakers must adapt their model line-ups in a short period of time, and this requires substantial investment. But the transformation extends beyond the factory gates. Building electric vehicles requires reliable sources of raw materials such as vanadium, used in high-strength steel (ideally produced using green methods) and in batteries. Power semiconductors are also essential, controlling and converting electrical power within vehicles. Companies capable of supplying these materials and components could benefit from this shift. We therefore take a closer look at Volkswagen, Strategic Resources and Infineon.

Takeover Battle Intensifies: BASF, Evonik, Gerresheimer and Phenom Resources
The takeover battle surrounding BASF and Evonik is intensifying, and politicians are now getting involved as well. The state government is demanding job guarantees, while the leader of the SPD parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia has voiced criticism and called on Minister President Hendrik Wüst to step up his efforts and provide greater clarity. Phenom Resources is a hot stock with takeover potential. The Canadian company is focused on gold and vanadium projects in the US state of Nevada. Its gold and copper assets are set to be spun off—but could a strategic partner make a move instead? Gerresheimer was already in the crosshairs of financial investors back in 2025. Since the failed takeover attempt, however, things have been relatively quiet. The company is currently restructuring and streamlining its business. That could eventually put it back on potential buyers' radar.

E-Mobility in the Grip of Energy Prices! Things Are Heating Up for VW, Porsche, Mercedes, BYD and Phenom Resources
Filling up currently feels like a painful visit to the dentist — but without much hope of a cure! Yet despite all the gloom, there are also winners. Against the backdrop of rising energy prices, European e-mobility has entered a dynamic yet fiercely competitive phase in recent months. The historic price shock at the pump is prompting consumers to rethink their spending while driving a boom in new battery electric vehicle registrations. In Europe, electric vehicles now appear on the horizon as a subsidized solution, while gasoline and diesel prices march from one all-time high to the next. However, the charts so beloved by stock market traders are difficult to apply to gas station products. As the operating costs of internal combustion engines soar, electric vehicles are rapidly gaining appeal as an alternative. This is particularly good news for Chinese automakers, who are pushing into Europe with an aggressive market strategy and challenging the established, traditional brands. Even the import tariffs imposed by Brussels on pure-electric vehicles can barely slow the advance from the Far East. The local automotive industry is thus under unprecedented pressure to transform and compete. Where exactly should investors be looking?

From Gold and Silver Giants Newmont and First Majestic Silver to a Vanadium Hidden Gem with Potential Upside: Strategic Resources
The "building blocks of our modern prosperity" have moved sharply back into focus in recent months: commodities. While global markets grapple with inflation fears and fluctuate amid technological advances driven by AI, three mining companies are navigating the sector in very different ways. We are talking about the undisputed gold king, Newmont, the large, dynamic silver specialist, First Majestic and a small but highly ambitious player named Strategic Resources, which has made it its mission to redefine the electric mobility value chain. Investors seeking stability often gravitate toward the major producers. But those willing to look further ahead may find considerable upside potential among emerging resource developers. This analysis explores why the ground beneath our feet may hold far more than raw materials—it may also contain the foundations of tomorrow's investment opportunities, at least if you look for it in the right region.

Nvidia, Manuka Resources, Aurora Cannabis - All the rage
The stock markets continue to boom. The DAX was able to climb above the psychologically important 18,000-point mark, at least in the short term, while other asset classes, such as gold and Bitcoin, also reached new highs. By contrast, different sectors, such as hydrogen and cannabis, have continued to plummet in recent weeks. The latter, in particular, has received an upward boost from the US government's statements, which could herald a trend reversal.

Encavis, Manuka Resources, Rheinmetall - Vanadium: From metal to energy source
The energy transition presents us with the challenge of efficiently storing renewable energy. A key raw material in this process is vanadium, which is used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) and is mainly known for its role in steel production. These batteries are characterized by their longevity, with up to 20,000 charging cycles without any significant loss of performance, and their safety as they are non-flammable. In addition, their scalability allows them to be used both in large-scale grid storage and in the private sector. By storing electricity from wind and solar power, VRFBs are a critical element in supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy supply and ensuring the availability of steel alloys that can also be used in the defense industry.

Bitcoin soon at USD 100,000? The music is also playing at Rheinmetall, Renk, Manuka Resources and BYD!
The stock market is not a one-way street. While Bitcoin reaches new highs daily, many stocks are still on the sidelines. Only 21% of all listed shares reached a new high in 2024, yet the Nasdaq 100 and the DAX 40 index are at their all-time highs. Only a few stocks are gaining favour with investors; others are being left behind. The current focus is on high-tech stocks that enable ever-greater computing power, such as in mining or artificial intelligence. In addition to gigantic amounts of data, mining requires trillions of computing operations to be carried out in a very short time. There are rewards in the form of new bitcoins for confirming transactions on the blockchain, but they will be halved by the next "halving" event in April. Armament values, on the other hand, seem to be heating up. So how much time is left to reap further leaps in returns?

Renk, Manuka Resources, and Airbus with explosive news
Germany's leading index, the DAX, managed to surpass the 17,000-point mark significantly this week, reaching a new all-time high at 17,198.50 points. After a weak IPO year in Germany in 2023, in which only three companies dared to go public, the Renk Group set an exclamation mark with a rocket launch. Whether the high level of the DAX can be maintained will also depend on Allianz, Fresenius and Heidelberg Materials, which will publish their figures for the past financial year in the coming week.

Is Bayer's share price about to jump? BYD off to a positive start! Manuka Resources with a billion-dollar opportunity!
Are Bayer shares on the verge of a price surge? According to analysts at Bernstein, the chemical company is significantly undervalued. Where does the optimism come from? Could there be a change in the Aspirin logo for Bayer in the near future? Chart-wise, the share is heavily battered. The chart for BYD also speaks a clear language. The electric vehicle manufacturer has reported a good start to 2024, while Manuka Resources' VTM iron sand project in New Zealand is generating share price fantasy. There is movement in the project, and following the capital increase, there is now an entry opportunity. Is the revaluation coming soon? The potential is in the billions.
