Varta, Altech Advanced Materials, Volkswagen - The battle for the battery of the future
The energy transition will not succeed without batteries, and electromobility cannot be implemented without them either. South Korea plans to invest USD 15 billion in the development of solid-state batteries for electric vehicles by 2030 in order to secure a long-term competitive advantage in the global market for electric vehicles. China is already the pioneer in electric cars and batteries for these vehicles. Experts in the American automotive industry fear a dependence on China for batteries and their raw materials. Since the automotive industry has embraced electromobility and the energy transition is being pushed forward faster, the field of battery development has become tremendously important. Therefore, today we will look at three companies dealing with this issue.

Attention in the battery sector: Varta in sellout, Mercedes, Power Nickel and IBU-tec with good prospects!
What a debacle for Varta! While many manufacturers worldwide are looking for clean battery solutions, things continue to go downhill for the company in Ellwangen. The linchpin of mobile electrification is the development of a super battery. The conventional battery market is dominated by the Chinese group CATL with a 38% share, followed by BYD. But there are also many smaller technology companies in Germany, such as Altech Advanced Materials and IBU-Tec, that are getting involved in the battery market. We go in search of sector highlights.

BYD, Plug Power, Altech Advanced Materials: Winners of the energy transition with news
The energy transition is currently shaking up the world and the stock market. The opportunities for new players and investors are enormous. BYD, for example, aims to take a significant share of the German automotive industry's market. A revolution is brewing in battery technology. Altech Advanced Materials is on its way to being one of the winners of this revolution. The Company's management left no doubts about this during an investor conference this week. The manager exuded confidence. After its consolidation phase, the Altech share could now take off again. Analysts see a price potential of over 300% for Plug Power. But the latest quarterly figures and the looming financing round continue to weigh on the stock.

Heat pump madness and grid expansion: Vonovia, JinkoSolar, Grid Metals
A few weeks ago, Federal Economy Minister Habeck and Saxony-Anhalt Prime Minister Haseloff broke ground for the "SuedOstLink" converter. From 2027, wind energy will flow over the route to Bavaria for the first time. But the north-south connection is only part of the solution. Experts are sounding the alarm and consider massive investments in "the last mile" to be necessary. We take a look at what lies ahead and which companies could benefit.

Movement in the hydrogen sector: What are Nel ASA, ThyssenKrupp and dynaCERT doing?
There never seems to be a dull moment in the hydrogen sector. After the horror figures and the announced capital measure at Plug Power, Stellantis' investment in Symbio is a positive signal for the sector. French Symbio is focused on zero-emission hydrogen mobility and was previously owned by the Forvia Group and tyre manufacturer Michelin. Now Stellantis, the third largest car manufacturer in the world with brands like Peugeot, Opel and Fiat, has acquired a 33.3% stake. According to Stellantis, hydrogen fuel cells are necessary to achieve climate protection goals. dynaCERT also wants to contribute to this. Perhaps a big partner will soon join the Canadians? And what is the hydrogen pioneer Nel ASA doing with its partner General Motors? ThyssenKrupp is making its subsidiary look good for the hydrogen IPO.

Correction in Greentech shares Varta and Nordex - Manuka Resources becomes a gamechanger
The goals of the climate protectionists are being delayed. With the Building Energy Act unlikely to arrive until 2025, the construction of the Tesla Gigafactory in Brandenburg will also be further delayed. Tesla has determined that the 300 hectares of factory space officially approved in 2022 is not quite enough. However, the latest planning for 400 hectares is meeting with resistance, especially from environmental groups. The municipalities are accused of planning chaos and failure to comply with environmental regulations. The climate-neutral future requires tremendous efforts because time is pressing. The stock market also seems to have run too far on many issues and urgently needs a break from its permanent upward trend. Pay attention to the following stocks.

Plug Power, Canadian North Resources, RWE - Critical metals as a sticking point
The dream of a climate-neutral world still exists, at least in the minds of politicians. Thus, many companies that took on the transformation of the transport and energy sectors were also given plenty of advance praise. However, there are still problems with the implementation and the leap into the profit zone. One reason for the weakening margins is the raw materials needed for the energy transition, which are still at high levels. However, due to the scarcity of many critical metals, a reduction in base prices is likely to remain a pipe dream.

Panic at Plug Power: Hydrogen specialists Nel and First Hydrogen convince
Is the wheat being separated from the chaff in the hydrogen sector? This is the impression one could get in the last few weeks. First, Nel convinced with its quarterly figures. The Norwegians are finally getting a grip on their margins and are building the next gigawatt factory in the US. First Hydrogen is also investing in North America. A new site for the production of hydrogen and fuel cell commercial vehicles is to be built in Canada. Plug Power, on the other hand, has its work cut out. The US company disappointed with its quarterly figures on Monday evening. In addition, capital measures were announced. The share price fell by almost 10% in German trading yesterday.

Commerzbank, Blackrock Silver, JinkoSolar - Banking crisis fuels demand for precious metals
May 3 was marked by the decision of the FED. The experts expect this to be the last interest rate hike for the time being. The interest rate increases of the past months have led customers to withdraw their money from the banks, which, however, had put the money into long-term government bonds that had fallen in value. Accordingly, First Republic was the next victim and the assets were sold to JP Morgan. Despite the interest rate hikes, inflation remains at a high level. This is one of the reasons why precious metals such as gold and silver have made significant gains recently. Silver is essential in many industrial sectors, especially in the production of solar panels.

Lose the German goggles and profit? Plug Power, Myriad Uranium, RWE
Drought in southern Spain, gloomy weather in Germany - that climate change will also make itself felt in 2023 is already apparent now, at the beginning of May. In view of climate change, some authors are already calling for an end to the pursuit of growth. But is that worth striving for, and can it even be implemented in liberal democracies? We shed light on the limits of cuts and where technology could make climate protection possible without cuts.
