Super Micro Computer, Power Nickel, Renk – Cash in on megatrends
Global megatrends such as artificial intelligence, raw materials for green technologies, and defense technologies are fundamentally changing markets and societies – and offering enormous opportunities for investors. Companies that address these trends early on can grow disproportionately in the long term and generate significant returns for their shareholders. These technologies are not only shaping the future but also driving the performance of tomorrow's stock market stars. We look at three companies that are benefiting from these megatrends.

Year-end rally: DAX high, Bitcoin, or gold? SMCI, Thunder Gold, Dell and SAP under the microscope
December begins as November ended: New highs on the DAX, high-tech stocks remain in demand, and Bitcoin and gold are consolidating slightly. With only 16 trading days left, now is the time to find the right portfolio structure for 2025. Despite unbridled investor optimism, next year could see a sector rotation that causes the overbought stocks to consolidate and brings long-neglected stocks to the forefront. At Super Micro Computer, many uncertainties are now being put into perspective. Its partner, Nvidia, has not been able to report any new highs since the Q3 figures. On the other hand, SAP is enjoying record growth, having seen one of the strongest rebounds since its founding. What happens now? Here are some ideas for risk-conscious investors.

Qualcomm, Saturn Oil + Gas, MARA Holdings – Expansion in focus
Bitcoin exploded after the rapid conclusion of the US election and the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump. Besides the fact that the old and new president is considered Bitcoin-friendly, it is also well-known that he holds little regard for renewable energies. Instead, he plans to further promote the domestic oil and gas industry. While crude oil remains in a correction phase, this sector presents intriguing companies that could benefit long-term from a resurgence in oil prices.

Energy-guzzling artificial intelligence – Uranium in focus! Higher prices possible for Palantir, F3 Uranium, SAP and SMCI!
The energy demand is skyrocketing! Currently, high-tech companies from Silicon Valley are investing in power generators and uranium companies. This is because they will all need many times more electricity in the coming years than they do today in order to roll out their AI-driven business models. Artificial intelligence consumes, on average, 10 to 15 times more energy than conventional search engine queries. As a result, industry leaders are no longer willing to leave future energy supplies solely in the hands of governments, as the risk of supply disruptions appears too great. For several months, nuclear companies in the US have been developing so-called small modular reactors, while the EU wants to continue with renewable energies. Investors should weigh these options carefully, as these trends present significant opportunities for growth.

BASF, F3 Uranium, Super Micro Computer – Affordable energy is the key to corporate success
The huge appetite for energy at BASF, particularly for chemical production, must be met, as must the rapidly increasing demand for electricity from data centers using artificial intelligence. Renewable energies cannot yet fully meet this demand, as demand in the field of AI is likely to increase significantly in the coming years. Nuclear energy is an attractive option here, as it provides stable, large quantities of CO2-free energy and could thus efficiently serve both BASF and the increasing demands of AI data centers.

DAX 20,000 - Breakout to Mega Bull Market, Enter Strategically Now: BYD, NIO, Almonty Industries, ASML and SMCI
This week could be the week. Just 2.5% separates the DAX-40 index from the magical 20,000-point mark. High-tech remains in demand, and last week, for the first time in months, automotive stocks also rose again. The Paris Motor Show closed its doors yesterday, and the result is clear: China dominated the exhibition with its new releases, showcasing innovation. And to the great chagrin of the EU, with prices on average 27% lower. At least the import duties were set in October, but the battle for the consumer has yet to be fought. Because Chinese vehicles are not only considerably cheaper, they have long since caught up with local manufacturers in terms of technology, features and design. Where are the opportunities for shareholders?

Intel, VCI Global, Super Micro Computer – Artificial intelligence offers huge potential
Artificial intelligence (AI) has long since developed from an abstract vision of the future into a real driving force of the global economy. Its enormous potential for optimizing business processes, opening up new markets, and driving innovation is revolutionizing almost every industry. Nevertheless, AI is still in its infancy. In this article, we take a detailed look at two companies driving AI development to strengthen their market position and outpace the competition. If they fail, a stock may lose value, as was recently seen with Intel.

Bargain alert in Biotech, AI, Cannabis: Evotec, Cantourage, BlockchainK2 share instead of Nvidia?
The weak late summer months on the stock market often offer opportunities for bargain hunters - including at the moment and away from the large caps. For instance, Nvidia has already lost around 30% from its all-time high, but historically a drop of 50% or more is not uncommon for this AI high-flyer. It is, therefore, worth taking a look at fallen small and mid-caps. For example, Cantourage shares gained more than 10% yesterday alone. Is there more to come for the cannabis stock? BlockchainK2 shares are also ripe for a price surge. The SaaS platform for financial service providers offers cost and efficiency benefits thanks to blockchain and AI. The sentiment for fintechs - look at PayPal - is currently brightening noticeably, and BlockchainK2 is a takeover candidate. The same could be said for Evotec, or is there a risk of a slide to EUR 4? In any case, the Company is not finding any peace.

Artificial intelligence as a winning model! 200% return with Super Micro Computer and BlockchainK2, Caution with Intel and Aixtron!
The high-tech wave has been quite pronounced so far in 2024. Even the correction in July had little impact on the strong trend, which is now continuing upward. However, investors now clearly differentiate between the business models. Pure hardware manufacturers like Intel and Aixtron are coming under increasing scrutiny. On the other hand, Nvidia, the industry leader, is now earning just as much money with data centers as with its ultra-fast graphics chips. In the small-cap segment, highly interesting companies are already successfully using artificial intelligence to streamline business processes and thus achieve enormous cost savings. We analyze a little deeper and look to identify the yield drivers.

AMD, VCI Global, Dell - The AI favorites after Nvidia
The event of the past trading week was chip giant Nvidia's quarterly figures. Once again, the US giant exceeded expectations. Nevertheless, investors were disappointed, as expectations were too high. Following the exaggerated share price rally of recent months, quite a few experts are advising investors to focus on AI companies with more favorable valuations. In addition to established corporations, smaller companies stand out, particularly those with innovative business areas that could experience a similar upward trend.
