Hydrogen scams and hard facts: Nikola, Plug Power, First Hydrogen
The somewhat macabre story behind a dead cat bounce is quickly explained: When a stock rises rapidly after a long sell-off, investors from the bear camp often refer to it as a dead cat bounce. The underlying idea is the somewhat tongue-in-cheek saying that even a dead cat would bounce off the ground if dropped from a great height. The best example of such a dead cat bounce is currently shown by the share of the hydrogen specialist Nikola. While investors are discussing the Company from the US, a success story is emerging in the background around a second-tier company.

Greentech rally restarts again! Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, SMA and JinkoSolar - critical metals are in demand
Greentech stocks have been a hot topic since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by the Joe Biden Administration. That is because, besides the EU, the US now also wants to step on the gas pedal significantly. It is all about investing in the future of climate protection. This primarily involves technologies for alternative energy generation, such as solar or wind power plants. Under the IRA, US investments in the future will be subject to a tax bonus. For industry, the key point remains the availability of strategically important metals, as they are as rare as they are highly sought after. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Plug Power, dynaCERT, Varta - Optimistic about the future
Amid global efforts to meet climate targets, renewable energy has established itself as the centerpiece of the energy transition. Since the beginning of the decade, listed companies in this sector have felt a tailwind fueled by billions in subsidies from policymakers. But the current horizon is cloudy. Unexpected delays and deep red figures dominate the scene. Nevertheless, drastically lower market valuations could open the door to potential long-term returns for investors.

Clean energy clearly in buy mode! Plug Power, Siemens Energy, Regenx Tech, Nordex - Clean returns instead of summer blues!
The energy turnaround will be challenging, as is now well-known in Berlin. Those who wish to completely abandon fossil energy supply must make significant investments in the future. Alternative technologies for energy generation are already on the horizon, but the implementation up to the grid connection is complicated and requires resources. Unfortunately, the anticipated reduction in CO2 savings will only materialize after more than 15 years of operation, so the expected positive environmental scenario is also a long way off. It is also evident that high-quality and rare raw materials must be transferred to a circular economy, as their availability is limited. Where are the opportunities for investors in the long process of energy rebalancing?

Is Artificial Intelligence facing a crash? Facing the bear market with profit enthusiasm: BYD, VW, Nikola, and Power Nickel
The major stock markets reached new highs for the year last week. With interest rates continuing to rise, inflation still on the rise and recessionary tendencies, many market participants are wondering if the bull market will pause for a while. Because what has failed to materialize so far is a significant consolidation, which would be necessary to finally let off some steam and prevent losses of 20 to 50% within 6 weeks, as seen in 2000, 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2022. The respective starting points in those years were the volatile late summer months of August and September. Stocks such as Nividia, C3.ai and Palantir recently gained as much as 250% and have been buoyed by the AI wave. But how far can this trend go? Looking at the battery market, BYD, Nikola, and Power Nickel could be the next profit generators.

Breakthroughs in the hydrogen sector - Nikola, First Hydrogen, Plug Power
Just last week, the German cabinet approved the update of the National Hydrogen Strategy from 2020, which is now being further developed to meet the increased level of ambition in climate protection and the new challenges in the energy market. Hydrogen is seen as the missing piece of the energy transition puzzle, and not just for Germany. Considerable progress has been made in the development of vehicles powered by hydrogen and fuel cells. At the same time, many innovative companies from this sector appear promising in the long term after the correction.

Uranium soon to be sanctioned? GoviEx Uranium, Plug Power, Nel ASA, AMS Osram - Can hydrogen solve the energy issue?
Somehow, energy policy has become very complicated. The EU sanctions coal, oil, gas and gold from Russia, but uranium remains untouched. Why? There is one who vehemently opposes this behind the scenes in Brussels: France! The German Minister of Economics, Robert Habeck, does not want to accept this. Of course, Germany no longer needs uranium for its decommissioned nuclear power plants, and the defense industry has its own sources of supply, which are not known to the public for security reasons. There is also the military coup in Niger, one of the world's major uranium-producing countries. What do investors have to pay attention to now?

New hydrogen hype! More than 100% possible with Plug Power, dynaCERT, ThyssenKrupp Nucera and Nel ASA
While the use of wind and solar has long been established, this step is still to come for hydrogen. The EU's recent decision to produce around 20 million metric tons of the highly flammable fuel by the year 2030 is a major step forward. The aim is to replace natural gas supplies from Russia. This move is expected to help the new energy source establish itself more rapidly within the EU. Currently, 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas are used in Europe to produce so-called grey hydrogen. According to recent studies, a rapid switch to green hydrogen would make it possible to replace around 12% of gas consumption by 2030. Quite impressive! Which stocks will benefit from the approaching boom?

Plenty of upside potential: Plug Power, Standard Lithium, Defense Metals
After Nel ASA exceeded sales expectations in the second quarter, Goldman Sachs recommended the stock as a buy. The price target is NOK 20, offering almost 50% upside potential. Now Plug Power is also recommended as a buy, and analysts see a significantly higher price potential. Experts see nearly 200% price potential for Standard Lithium after the Company published convincing drilling results. Not yet on the screen of analysts is Defense Metals. But this could change soon. The Company is developing an exciting rare earths project in North America, and the preliminary economic valuation of over CAD 500 million gives the stock plenty of upside.
