Super returns, clear conscience! Nel ASA and JinkoSolar turn around, nucera surprises, and RE Royalties celebrates!
From the climate conference to real implementation! The European Union and other nations have committed themselves to ambitious sustainability programs through so-called "green deals." To support these efforts, the financial instrument known as the "green bond" has become firmly established in the market. Banks, in particular, that are keen to enhance their ESG credentials, are increasingly active in this segment. As a result, the green bond market has grown rapidly, driven by global climate targets, such as those agreed upon in the Paris Agreement. ESG investments are benefiting from political incentives like the US Inflation Reduction Act and are being dynamically sought after by insurers. Between 2015 and 2023, issuances grew by an average of 40% annually, with growth slowing somewhat since 2023. For the full year 2025, total issuance volume is expected to reach between EUR 570 and 630 billion. What, when, and where funding is provided is defined by regulatory authorities. But private organizations such as RE Royalties are also active, because green returns are not only rewarding, they also help society achieve its ambitious climate transition goals. Here are a few investment ideas.

1,000% with Bloom Energy - Now Ballard Power or Pure Hydrogen? Or maybe Plug Power after all?
Bloom Energy is currently the star among fuel cell and hydrogen stocks. Shareholders have seen gains of over 1,000% within a year, driven by the surging energy demand from AI data centers in the US. Investors increasingly view hydrogen as one of the key beneficiaries of this trend. This is another reason – along with a short squeeze – for the price explosion of almost 500% at Plug Power. However, both companies are now very highly valued. Who could be next to be caught up in the energy hype? One candidate is Pure Hydrogen. The Company has already enjoyed success in the US with its solutions for commercial vehicles - so why not with generators for data centers as well? And what is pioneer Ballard Power doing? Its stock has tripled in just a few months. Could there be more upside ahead?

Battery metals before the hype? Battery clusters are emerging in Québec: Northern Graphite, Graphano Energy, and General Motors
Graphite is a crucial material for battery anodes. Natural graphite, in particular, is in high demand and scores with its unique properties. As China tightens export restrictions on raw materials and focuses on supplying finished batteries, Western automakers like General Motors are growing increasingly concerned about supply security. At the same time, innovation is needed to remain competitive against low-cost Chinese producers. Currently, there is only one operating graphite mine in all of Canada, despite the material's strategic importance. We explain the background and introduce a potential beneficiary that has so far flown under the radar of many investors.

SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION for commodity gems!? Nordex, Aurubis, Salzgitter, and Power Metallic Mines!
Shares in the commodities and precious metals sector have been unstoppable in recent weeks. Power Metallic Mines could soon become an explosive latecomer to the rally. There are good reasons for this, as the CEO recently made clear. At Aurubis, the rally appears to be over for now. Analysts are skeptical, and the major shareholder is cashing in his shares - albeit in an unusual way. So should you sell now, too? The past few months have been unusually positive for Nordex. There is currently no sign of a slump in the wind business. What are analysts saying after the latest order intake?

HYDROGEN IS ALIVE! Bloom Energy, thyssenkrupp nucera, and dynaCERT! 1,000% not enough?
Plug Power has gained nearly 500% since May, proving that hydrogen is very much alive. The applications may be different from what was expected in the hype a few years ago - more specific and niche-focused. Investors are speculating that hydrogen will benefit from the energy boom driven by artificial intelligence. The same applies to Bloom Energy, whose stock has exploded by 1,000% over the past year. dynaCERT is active in an exciting niche, offering conversion kits for diesel engines ranging from trucks to container ships. Initial sales successes give hope for more. Will emission certificates follow? And what is Germany's hydrogen hope, thyssenkrupp nucera, doing? It remains in the shadow of TKMS. Still, one analyst sees upside potential of around 50%.

Gold USD 4,300 and Silver USD 53 – Buying frenzy at Silver North, First Majestic, Nel ASA, and JinkoSolar
Silver has been shorted by many investment banks for several years because sufficient supply was available from Mexico and other producing countries. The tide has turned. Over the past 12 months, the precious metal has caught up with its big brother gold, gaining 54%. There are several reasons for the scarcity-driven rally: there are only around 250 active silver mines worldwide, compared to around 1,400 gold mines. In addition, silver has massively expanded its importance as an industrial metal: it is indispensable in high-tech, e-mobility, defense, and medical technology. As a result, less and less physical silver is available to investors, while inventories on the futures markets continue to decline. Now is the time to take a position in silver. Alongside industry giants such as First Majestic, Silver North is among the most promising beneficiaries of the new silver boom.

Who benefits, who suffers? The raw materials crisis in e-mobility: BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen
The future of mobility is being decided in the battery factory. Innovative battery cells promise longer ranges and lower costs, but the road to getting there is marked by a fierce race for scarce raw materials and technological supremacy. This tension between disruptive progress and geopolitical risks creates unique opportunities for companies that navigate the transformation strategically. Today, we take a closer look at how BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen are currently positioning themselves.

NEO Battery Materials is igniting the battery revolution in the West!
Drones, robotics, and e-mobility increasingly demand batteries with greater range, faster charging times, and lower costs. At the same time, the security of Chinese supply chains is deteriorating. This is precisely where NEO Battery Materials comes into play. With its silicon anodes (NBMSiDE®), the Company promises up to 70% higher energy density at over 60% lower production costs, while simultaneously establishing a Western supply chain suitable for defense applications. Recent orders and purchase agreements indicate that commercialization is now gaining strong momentum.

E-mobility and hydrogen take off – BYD, Nio, Graphano Energy, and Plug Power in focus!
The German government is resolutely driving forward the transition to e-mobility by 2035 - a clear signal at a time when climate targets and energy dependence are the subject of intense debate. The market for electric vehicles is benefiting from innovations in battery technologies and a growing charging infrastructure. Advances in solid-state batteries, silicon anodes, and new cathode materials are significantly increasing range, performance, and safety. Faster charging times and longer service life are making the switch increasingly attractive for consumers. At the same time, recycling processes and the circular economy are gaining in importance to conserve resources and promote sustainability. With government support and growing competition, enormous opportunities are emerging for manufacturers and investors. But while electromobility is booming, hydrogen is also increasingly becoming the focus of the energy transition as a complementary technology. Investors are free to decide where to invest for the best returns.

Hensoldt forges drone alliance! Nordex peaked? Over 10% dividend with RE Royalties
A dividend yield of over 10% currently makes RE Royalties shares an attractive buy. The Company finances renewable energy projects and will also participate in future earnings from these projects. With success, since 2020, the Company has grown by 38% p.a. and has paid dividends for 25 quarters. By comparison, Nordex is far from such continuity in growth. However, Nordex is currently riding a wave of growth. After a 100% increase in the share price, analysts see little potential for Nordex shares. Meanwhile, Hensoldt shares would likely have jumped after the latest announcement, as the sensor specialist is forging a new German drone alliance. Is now the time to buy?
