DAX breaks 24,000 – E-mobility booming! Keep an eye on BYD, Pasinex Resources, Nordex, and Siemens Energy
In the third quarter of 2025, the global e-mobility market once again grew strongly: more than 4.2 million new electric vehicles were registered worldwide, an increase of around 28% over the previous year. China remains by far the largest single market, but Europe is also recording double-digit growth rates, driven by manufacturers such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen. At the same time, investment in new battery technology is increasing in order to secure the rising demand in the long term. The raw material zinc is becoming increasingly important, not only for corrosion protection and alloys, but also as a key component in innovative zinc-air batteries, which could represent a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to lithium. This development underscores how closely raw material markets and e-mobility growth are intertwined. Here are a few investment ideas.

CAUTION with Nordex and thyssenkrupp! ENTRY OPPORTUNITY with Power Metallic Mines!
Commodity stocks remain promising. They are the backbone of technological progress—especially in an AI-driven world. And precious metals are considered a safe haven. Power Metallic Mines benefits from both trends with its world-class multi-metal project. After months of consolidation, new drilling results could boost the share price, as was the case last year. Caution is advised with Nordex, however. Although this year's surprise stock is impressive with its strong operating business and high order backlog, headwinds from political risks are increasing. Trump in the US and Merz in Germany are weighing on sentiment in key markets. But analysts still recommend buying? At thyssenkrupp, the expected IPO of the naval division TKMS is drawing closer. Full order books support the story, but with Rheinmetall entering the shipbuilding business, competitive pressure is growing significantly.

War, raw material shortages, cancer: Capitalize on megatrends with Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, Merck KGaA
Three megatrends are expected to drive global markets in 2025. Revolutionary technologies, such as AI and cybersecurity, are fundamentally changing the defence sector. At the same time, demand for critical raw materials for defense, high-tech applications, and the energy transition is exploding, requiring new, sustainable supply chains. In parallel, the pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a dramatic shift due to advances in AI-driven research and intensified competition. These forces are shaping the future opportunities for companies. Those who are strategically positioned here will win, as key players Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, and Merck KGaA demonstrate.

Rheinmetall's boom in demand, Power Metallic Mines' key role in critical raw materials, and BYD in crisis?
The global hunt for strategic metals is driving markets into breathtaking volatility. Military expansion and the electromobility boom are driving demand for key raw materials, while geopolitical rifts pose a threat to supply. Whoever masters these bottlenecks controls future technologies and security-critical chains. Investors sense opportunities worth billions, but only a few players are positioning themselves decisively at the critical points. We therefore take a look today at Power Metallic Mines, an indispensable supplier, as well as Rheinmetall and BYD, which represent the raw material-hungry industries.

Will Trump seize Greenland's resources? 300% opportunity with MP Materials, European Lithium, CRML, Glencore, and DroneShield
US President Donald Trump has recently reaffirmed his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland. In April, he did not rule out military options and called control over the island an "absolute necessity" for US security. At the same time, negotiations are underway on the possibility of binding Greenland more closely to the US through a special agreement, a so-called Compact of Free Association (COFA), without formal annexation. However, the Danish government and the Greenlandic administration have signaled their clear rejection: Greenland is not "for sale" and its residents have no interest in becoming part of the US. Rising global tensions and the increasing scarcity of strategic raw materials are putting pressure on industry. The first effects are already being felt, particularly in the high-tech and defense sectors. A rush on strategic metals is underway - and investors are taking notice.

Success through foresight – The secrets of top CEOs: AJN Resources, LVMH, and Amazon
Managers are often portrayed by the public as soulless and interchangeable. But true visionaries still exist. Following in the tradition of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, they make tough decisions early on, thereby preparing their companies to be future-ready. History shows that it can be well worth swimming against the tide at first in order to ultimately go with the flow. We examine key decisions made by Amazon, LVMH, and AJN Resources and demonstrate how foresight can unlock opportunities for investors.

Steyr Motors, Power Metallic Mines, BYD – From unique selling point to market leader
In the context of geopolitical tariffs and green transformation, drive technology, raw material extraction, and e-mobility are merging into key sectors. While US automotive tariffs are setting new rules from 2025, three players are driving systemic solutions: Steyr Motors, a pioneer in high-performance hybrid engines; Power Metallic Mines, which is setting ESG standards with carbon-neutral nickel; and BYD, which is dominating e-mobility through innovation. Their strategies – technological sovereignty, vertical integration, and resource-efficient ecosystems – demonstrate how the apparent contradictions between decarbonization and industrial reality can be overcome. Three companies, one mission: to shape the value chain of tomorrow.

BYD, Nova Pacific Metals, Nordex – From raw materials to electric vehicles or wind turbines: The strategies behind the boom
In a world caught between climate targets and geopolitical tensions, three companies in seemingly different industries are driving the green transformation with disruptive technology and strategic foresight. In recent months, the EU has announced two infrastructure packages worth billions for renewable energies and critical raw materials. Whether e-mobility, mineral raw materials or wind power – they all share one goal: to redefine their sectors. However, the starting point is always the raw materials needed for the electrification of the world.

Covestro, Globex Mining, and Deutz with significant momentum
The rising demand for industrial metals from the renewable energy sector and the increased demand from the defense industry due to the current geopolitical shift pose significant challenges for the Western world. In addition to exploring its own deposits, an improvement in trade relations with China would be desirable. However, following the visit of the Minister of Economic Affairs to China's most important trading partner, this wish has receded into the distant future.

Rapid energy transition, metals remain in demand! JinkoSolar, Globex Mining, BYD and VW under scrutiny!
"Goodbye Hydrogen" - that is how investors in H2 stocks might title their investment success in 2023. On average, shares in the booming sector lost up to 85% in 2021. But the year is not over yet. Plug Power shares were hit hard last week, experiencing a sell-off of over 35% after the Q3 figures. The fundamental environment was ignored for many months, but now gravity is returning and sending overvalued stocks into the cellar. It is an environment for buyers willing to conduct some analysis. We help navigate the figures.
