Airbus, Almonty, thyssenkrupp: Market impacts and investment opportunities in focus
The aerospace company Airbus recently lowered its financial targets for 2024 due to supply chain issues and additional costs in the aerospace division. Aircraft buyers will have to wait longer than previously communicated for the delivery of new aircraft. Tungsten supplier Almonty Industries could become a guarantor of seamless supply chains thanks to production sites in conflict-free countries. Almonty owns mines in Portugal, Spain, and South Korea. Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský's investment in thyssenkrupp shows how much demand for tungsten is increasing. In times of increasing armament, steel with tungsten is becoming more and more valuable and in demand. Křetínský is known for investing in undervalued companies and aims to acquire 20% of the Duisburg steel giant. Restructuring at the personnel level has unions up in arms. Where is an investment worthwhile?

Acute threat? Armaments and high-tech in the crosshairs: Aixtron, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt
The recent European elections have enabled the conservative camp to make significant gains. Undoubtedly, a whole bouquet of issues has led to the so-called "shift to the right". In times of war, however, the neutral observer may not be surprised that the self-proclaimed peace parties, represented by the colours red and green, have lost considerable ground. After all, the competence for peacemaking and security in Europe tends to be found in the conservative camp. The capital markets currently favour high-tech and armaments, orders are booming, and growth is assured for years to come. It is now crucial for stock market players to take a closer look at these sectors, as the high-yield performers of the first half of the year appear to be correcting more strongly. What will happen here in the medium term?

First Hydrogen, RWE, Rheinmetall - Sustainable investments with hydrogen and armaments
According to estimates, the global hydrogen production market will reach USD 230.81 billion by 2030. Both governments and industry are, therefore, in favour of the rapid development of this technology. The Canadian company First Hydrogen has already successfully tested a hydrogen fuel cell-powered van specially developed for the logistics sector. International logistics companies and vehicle manufacturers are now signaling their interest in working together. The energy company RWE is also focusing on hydrogen. The construction of hydrogen power plants in Germany is to be driven forward with two European partners. Rheinmetall, on the other hand, is expanding into the Baltic States. A new ammunition plant is being built in Lithuania. This will result in many lucrative advantages for the German group. Which investment is most likely to yield returns?

Invest in these stocks now! BYD, Varta, Royal Helium!
Those who invest in latecomer stocks now could be rewarded. After all, the high-flyers of 2024 from the fields of artificial intelligence and armaments are anything but cheaply valued. Here are three stocks that could be worth buying now, at least at first glance. BYD has bucked the industry trend by publishing positive sales figures, is making progress in autonomous driving, and analysts are optimistic. Those looking to benefit indirectly from the boom in armaments or quantum computers should consider Royal Helium. A capital increase has injected fresh money into the Company's coffers, and the helium producer can take off again. And what about problem child Varta? The struggling battery manufacturer has found a new CEO, but the old problems remain.

The party is over - Sell defense stocks now! Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, Renk and Hensoldt
While the DAX and NASDAQ are reaching new highs, sectors like armaments and high-tech are taking a break. After an extended rally, it is also good to see other stocks coming back into focus. A surprising rebound in Plug Power sent the bombed-out stock soaring by 80%, but unfortunately, 60% of this gain was quickly lost. Easy come, easy go! A significant sell-off occurred at Renk, raising the question of when Rheinmetall and Hensoldt might follow suit. We analyze the current trends in more detail.

Is China getting serious? Rheinmetall and Almonty Industries profit! Varta share on the brink?
Is China really preparing for an attack on Taiwan? It is well known that China is massively increasing its gold reserves. But why tungsten, too? After all, China itself is the largest producer of this raw material, which is not only in demand in the arms industry. However, as noted recently by the CEO of Almonty at an investor conference, the Chinese are currently buying large quantities of tungsten. We can only speculate about the reasons behind this. What is clear is that the Western world needs to secure its tungsten supply. Almonty Industries is already producing in Europe and plans to commission a huge tungsten mine in South Korea later this year. Revenue and profits should then rise sharply and lead to a revaluation of the share. Rheinmetall has undergone a revaluation in the past two years. Can it reach EUR 600? Varta, on the other hand, is on the brink. Analysts do not see any upside, even at the current price level.

Drumbeat at TUI! Caution with Renk and Nel! dynaCERT Stock with Potential!
A drumbeat is sounding at TUI! In an interview, the tourism group's CFO hints that shareholders can soon look forward to a dividend again. On the other hand, tensions in the Middle East are causing short-term uncertainty in tourism shares. Conversely, defense stocks are once again benefiting from the possibility of an escalation. However, analysts currently see little further potential for Renk. The retrofit kits from dynaCERT offer great potential for reducing emissions from diesel vehicles. If VERRA clears the way for CO2 certificates, the share could go through the roof. Is the Company preparing for this with a personnel change? In contrast, the Nel share seeks support, and tomorrow promises to be exciting.

Threat to Europe, Demand for Defense Persists! Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Renk and Hensoldt
Europe is gearing up, as since February 24, 2022, peace has become a thing of the past. Europe lived in harmony for a whole 77 years, with the exception of the warlike dissolution of Yugoslavia as a regional conflict. Today's world resembles the situation in the 1970s and 1980s, as the Iron Curtain is re-establishing itself as a political border. The old world order that has prevailed since the end of the Cold War has been shattered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Consequently, NATO has regained a new role; after years of disarmament, it has now become a sought-after defense alliance. The accession of Finland and Sweden now strengthens the alliance towards the east. What now looms large is rapid rearmament! Where can investors still participate?

Out of defense, into gold!? Renk, Barrick Gold, Desert Gold
On Tuesday, German defense stocks were shaken briefly and sharply. In a flash crash, Renk, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt fell by more than 10%. This indicates that defense stocks have run hot. The future prospects for the companies are undeniably positive, but a consolidation is in order. Gold is an entirely different story. The price of the precious metal is at record levels, but the shares of gold producers are still a long way from their 2020 highs. This applies to the heavyweights like Barrick Gold and Endeavour Mining, but even more so to the explorers. One of the promising explorers is Desert Gold. The Company operates in an attractive region, is on the verge of becoming a Tier 1 mine producer, and is a takeover candidate. Barrick Gold is one of many companies that could make a move on Desert Gold.

React now: Reap armaments soon and reinforce hydrogen! Rheinmetall and Hensoldt versus Plug Power and dynaCERT
The stock market is currently very selective. Artificial intelligence and armaments will continue to be favored, while hydrogen and lithium stocks remain unpopular even after Easter. That is just the way it goes; the market gives and takes. All sectors under consideration have already generated several hundred percent returns over the past two years, but timing has always been crucial. We analyze the current situation based on trends and indicators. The time for a tactical reallocation seems imminent.
