Horror for Nel share! Nordex and First Hydrogen impress!
Nel ASA is plunging - both operationally and in its stock performance. The hydrogen pioneer is shocking the capital market with massive job cuts and a production stop at its main plant. What are the reasons? Is there any improvement in sight? On the day of the Nel crash, First Hydrogen delivered a positive highlight. As a result, the share price even rose slightly. The technology company belongs to the new generation of hydrogen specialists. Its fuel cell commercial vehicles have passed the practical test, and the stock appears ready for a re-rating. Analysts believe that Nordex shares could make a comeback. The Company is considered one of the promising German midcaps. Operationally, things are going well, too, with a new major order from North America recently reported.

Plug Power, F3 Uranium, Super Micro Computer – The energy crisis intensifies
In Germany, the energy crisis is coming to a head. Due to the "dark doldrums" that occur more frequently during the winter months, electricity costs have exploded during these periods. Germany's European neighbours are already complaining because their electricity prices are also rising due to the high German electricity imports. Without gas imports from Russia, Germany previously had a base load power capacity supported by its remaining nuclear power plants. However, this is now only achievable through fossil fuels, resulting in a poor environmental record. While other countries are expanding nuclear power and fighting over uranium to satisfy their hunger for energy, Germany is going it alone. Perhaps the turning point will come with the next federal election in February.

THE VOLATILITY TRAP: Sell-off in Bitcoin, gold on the rise! Desert Gold, MicroStrategy, Lufthansa, and Nel ASA
After a record year for equities in 2024, the new year is entering a challenging phase. Hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak, with inflation remaining too high. The mega rally in Bitcoin also needs to be deflated soon. This hits BTC collector MicroStrategy quite hard. Nel ASA, which had started the year on a hopeful note, now has to announce a production stoppage! Lufthansa, meanwhile, is working on acquiring the state-owned Italian airline ITA. Volatility is rising dangerously, signaling that a correction is due. These developments are positive for the safe haven of gold. The key now is consistent action!

Greentech stocks make a flying start in 2025 – Tax package on the way? Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power, and Nordex in focus
The stock market kicked off the year with significant volatility. However, while the DAX 40 index is setting new records daily, the NASDAQ is consolidating at a very high level. Some profit-taking is weighing on the recently favoured "Magnificent 7" stocks, while long-neglected stocks in the greentech sector are starting to make a comeback. Canadian hydrogen specialist dynaCERT has now cleared all regulatory hurdles and strengthened its emissions trading team with the appointment of a new board member. In Germany alone, the environmental certificate market represents an annual volume of EUR 18.5 billion. We analyze which greentech stocks are now in a position to unlock their potential.

Nordex, XXIX Metal, D-Wave Quantum – Demand is driving prices
The decarbonization of the energy industry and the accelerated expansion of data centres for calculating artificial intelligence are creating a steadily increasing demand for energy sources that are as clean and efficient as possible. In addition to the ramp-up of solar energy, wind power plays a major role. The energy transition is leading to an enormous increase in the demand for copper. Forecasts assume that the demand for copper could increase by around 50–70% by 2030. By contrast, the past decade has seen a failure to meet rising demand by developing new projects. As a result, the few copper producers are likely to benefit from rising prices in the long term.

Plug Power share price explodes! Golden times ahead for Siemens Energy and F3 Uranium?
The saying "those declared dead live longer" applies to the stock market - and seemingly to Plug Power. The hydrogen stock rose by almost 50% in the first few days of trading, although it has recently struggled to maintain this level. Is this the breakthrough, or is it going down again? Siemens Energy and F3 Uranium could be on the verge of golden times. Both are benefiting from the boom in data centres. In the past few days alone, billion-dollar investments have been announced in the US. To supply energy to the data centres for artificial intelligence, grids and nuclear power plants are needed. However, analyst sentiment is weighing on the price of Siemens Energy. In contrast, F3 Uranium appears ripe for a breakout from the sideways movement, with the potential for its stock to double.

Volkswagen undervalued! What about European Lithium and BYD?
Looking at the market for electric vehicles in Germany, the outlook seems bleak. However, taking a broader view, the global picture tells a different story. Battery production is also steadily rising, driving a growing demand for lithium. Currently, the lithium supply is still sufficient, but experts predict that by 2030 demand will exceed supply. The reason for this is not only the automotive industry but also the demand for energy storage for renewable energies. We take a look at three companies and their current situation.

Uranium and defense – Rally expected in 2025! Renk, F3 Uranium, Hensoldt, Rheinmetall and thyssenkrupp in focus
After nearly 19% gains in 2024, many investors wonder whether such dream returns are repeatable in 2025. We believe so, although the growth will be selective. Stocks are no longer rising across the board; instead, they are rising due to their strength in the sectors or because of an extraordinary competitive position. Underperformers will still be abundant, and investors should, therefore, position their portfolios to weather the storm. There is a significant risk of a lower valuation in certain NASDAQ-listed stocks, which have already reached P/E ratios of over 40. One indicator of such exaggerations is the so-called Shiller P/E ratio. At 24.8, the MSCI World is currently well above its long-term average, mainly due to stocks in the technology and communications sectors, which are trading relatively well above their historical valuation median. The time has, therefore, come for a sector rotation – here are a few ideas.

Saturn Oil + Gas, Nel ASA, RWE - How three energy giants are redefining the future of global energy supply
Only a few days remain until January 20, 2025. The day the new US president will be sworn in and can push ahead with another energy turnaround. In North America, energy companies like Saturn Oil & Gas are expanding, and their products are driving the economy. With its blueprint strategy, Saturn ensures continuous value creation and is investing around CAD 320 million in further oil drilling projects for 2025. The clear financial strategy also provides more flexibility for the coming year. In Europe, the shift toward renewable energies continues. Nel ASA boasts full order books thanks to demand from Asia, but analysts remain cautious given the lack of hydrogen supply infrastructure in Europe. However, the new EU supply chain law could reshape the market conditions in favour of Nel ASA, as initial threats from Qatar indicate. As a global player, RWE continues to do business where it is most lucrative. The Company has achieved a milestone in the US, and in Italy, RWE is bringing a fresh breeze to the energy sector. Where investors should act now.

Myriad Uranium - Uranium prices are exploding! What is the outlook for Nel ASA and RWE?
Uranium is increasingly coming into focus. Recently, the largest uranium producers, Kazatomprom and Cameco, revised their production forecasts downward, and this at a time when the world needs more energy. Data centres for quantum computing, crypto mining, artificial intelligence, and electromobility are driving the world's hunger for electricity. At the same time, some large tech companies are researching modular nuclear reactors, which could further boost the demand for uranium. While the uranium sector is performing well, 2024 has been a tough year for hydrogen and renewable energies. We look at one company from each sector and examine the prospects for 2025.
