Buy or sell? TUI, BASF and Defence Therapeutics
BASF share a buy or sell? Analyst opinions on the chemical giant diverge widely. The DAX-listed company has just reported quarterly figures, but it did not provide clarity about the prospects. However, some speculate on a forecast increase. Analysts have not commented on TUI for quite some time. After the turbulence surrounding the capital increase, new impulses are being sought, perhaps through a deal with the German government? There is plenty of impetus for rising prices at Defence Therapeutics. The biotech high-flyer of the past months is increasingly positioning itself as a partner to BioNTech, Moderna and Co - and perhaps even a takeover candidate.

Market failure! Highs and lows at BASF, Myriad Uranium, Vonovia
We all know efficient markets from the textbook. There, buyers and sellers always come together - and in the end, there is no apple left over. In reality, markets are highly complex and are sometimes dependent on external factors that can change everything overnight. Today we look at BASF's business in China, the real estate market and the emerging market for uranium.

Nel share slumps, a 60% chance with Bayer, Almonty Industries and BASF
The Nel share was one of the big daily losers yesterday. As a result, the upward trend has finally been broken, and analysts' opinions differ widely. Berenberg sees the BASF share as a hold after the publication of the quarterly figures. The price target is EUR 55. The figures are in line with expectations. However, the end of share buybacks and concerns about future competitiveness weigh on the stock. By contrast, analysts see up to 60% upside potential for Bayer. Almonty Industries is benefiting from the boom in electromobility and also defense spending. As the leading tungsten producer outside China, analysts suspect it could soon come to a bidding war.

Rheinmetall, Defense Metals, BASF - Rearmament in the defense industry, restructuring in the chemical industry
A new chapter can begin for Ukraine's defense. Rheinmetall will supply the country with border surveillance technology. Analysts raise the share price target from EUR 240 to EUR 300. A solution to the conflict with Russia is not in sight, so demand for rare metals urgently needed in armaments is rising all the higher. This is where Defense Metals comes into play. The Canadian explorer has initial data from the crushing samples and can now better estimate the costs for the feasibility study. BASF is also concerned with costs. The Company put its red pen to work and cut 2/3 of its jobs, especially at a site in Germany. A planned agar project in the US has also been suspended until further notice.

Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen, BASF - Innovative strength pushes growth
In the hunt for the precious raw materials needed for the energy transition, carmaker Volkswagen now has Canada on its radar. There, the Company wants to extract the lithium it so urgently needs for electric batteries. The Company would do well to reorganize its supply chains, and the EU is pushing for a CO2-friendly transformation of the automotive industry. The Company Altech Advanced Materials promises a higher performance of electric batteries. Its innovative technology allows electric batteries to perform better, which is ideal for the energy turnaround demanded by politicians. Chemical giant BASF is experiencing that politics cannot always be to the advantage of its own company. Once again, it is the EU that wants to ban a product...

Bayer shares soon to reach triple digits? Barrick Gold and Desert Gold praised by analysts
Will Bayer be broken up, or will triple-digit share prices beckon? According to media reports, more and more investors are calling for the former. Most recently, Bluebell Capital Partners. According to the Bloomberg news agency, the British investor is calling on the DAX-listed Company to separate its Crop Science and Pharmaceuticals divisions. This could lead to a 70% increase in value for shareholders. Analysts also see considerable share price potential and believe that triple-digit prices are possible. Gold is also shining again. However, this has yet to be realized by exploration companies in particular. Experts see the chance of a revaluation at Desert Gold, for example - through takeover fantasy and drilling results. Besides B2Gold, Barrick Gold also comes into question as a buyer. The industry leader is also recommended as a buy, despite weakening Q4 results.

BASF, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics: Stocks for 2023?
Is there a 400% upside potential in 2023? At the end of a challenging 2022 stock market year, we are looking ahead to the new year. Which share is worth buying, and which is better left alone? In the case of BASF, the high dividend yield is one of the attractions. The latest company news shows that the chemical group is also involved in the mega market of electromobility. But the dependence on gas supplies is causing uncertainty, and an analyst has renewed a sell recommendation for BASF shares. BioNTech, on the other hand, is looking good, even if the chart picture has recently clouded over. The development pipeline is full, capacities - especially in Asia - are being expanded, and analysts are also more courageous again. Investors also need a little courage and, above all, patience with Cardiol Therapeutics. They could soon be rewarded. The cash position of the biotech pearl is almost equal to the market capitalization, the main product is already in the Phase 2 pilot study, and analysts see massive upside potential.

Nvidia, Meta Materials, BASF - High-tech stocks in focus
Interest rate hikes this year put pressure on the share price of many high-tech stocks. The NASDAQ has lost over 27% in the last year. It has hit second-tier stocks in particular, but big players such as Amazon, Facebook and Google have also lost ground. On December 13, the US inflation figures were lower than expected at 7.1%. Today, Wednesday, the next interest rate decision by the FED is due. Both news could lead the way for the coming weeks, as the NASDAQ has been bottoming out since October.

BASF, Kleos Space, Amazon - With Big Data to share price success
For investors, the stock market remains a marketplace of innovations. But which company manages to expand its market power further? The ailing BASF Group relies on Big Data in the production processes of its subsidiary in the USA. A smart move, given the horrendous energy prices in Germany. Kleos Space is betting on space and, thanks to Elon Musk's SpaceX, is launching new satellites into space and, at the same time, cooperating with a data platform that was created around Airbus Defense. Amazon AWS is also betting on cooperation. The group is providing IT for cloud migration for a major US insurance company. Find out what exactly data predictions have to do with unscented body lotions here.
