Plug Power, Altech Advanced Materials, Nel ASA - Ambitious valuations
There is everything to be said for the transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Now that the Western world has broken away from the Russian aggressor, the expansion of "freedom energies" is to proceed even faster. Baerbock, Habeck and Co. have already announced the withdrawal from dependence on the Eastern European neighbor. It should now be exciting to see how implementation works in the near future. The listed companies in the respective sectors, such as fuel cells, hydrogen and photovoltaics, have already built up horrendous valuations despite a correction that has been ongoing for months. Thus, caution is advised for some shares against a further slide.

Volkswagen, Phoenix Copper, Nordex - Act quickly
The German cabinet wants to minimize dependency on Russian oil and gas and, at the beginning of April, passed the so-called Easter Package at the suggestion of Vice-Chancellor and Federal Economics and Climate Protection Minister Robert Habeck. It has been the largest amendment to energy policy legislation in decades. The Easter package comprehensively amends various energy laws in order to accelerate and consistently drive forward the expansion of renewable energies. To put this amendment into practice, the demand for raw materials, which are already in short supply, will drastically increase, positively affecting producers.

Plug Power, Phoenix Copper, JinkoSolar - Shares for freedom
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has been simmering for weeks, dominates world events. Above all, the implementation of the energy turnaround is at the top of the agenda. Due to the declared sanctions, politics and the economy are facing a stress test on becoming more independent from Russian gas and coal in the future. Longer coal and nuclear lifetimes are on the cards. The traffic light politicians agree that the real path to energy independence is to phase out fossil fuels in the long term. However, scarce raw materials such as copper make this an expensive undertaking.

Rheinmetall, Triumph Gold, Siemens Energy - Safe havens despite the crisis?
The Ukraine crisis finally broke the camel's back. Previously, neither the announcement of interest rate hikes nor galloping inflation could move the stock markets to a proper correction. With the beginning of the Russia attack on Ukraine, the indices have lost significant value. Mutual economic embargoes weaken each other, and in the end, the consumer will pay the bill. But as in every crisis, there are winners. Weapons manufacturers are suddenly booming, the price of gold has soared, and renewable energies are being given extra support to ensure independence from Russian energy imports. Today, we look at one company from each of the three sectors.

Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen, FREYR Battery - Investment opportunity in the future energy storage market
The booming energy storage market will bring investments of USD 620 billion over the next 22 years, according to BloombergNEF. In this context, the focus shifts to Heidelberg-based Altech Advanced Materials AG, which specializes in emission-free energy storage solutions. Their innovative approach to generating energy from an abundant raw material in Europe - salt - is worth highlighting. Volkswagen is also striving for seamless supply in the electrification market and is re-sorting its semiconductor supply chains with the help of German taxpayer money. At Norway's FREYR Battery, quarterly results are in, surprising analysts.
