Hydrogen Shake-Up: How NEL and Plug Power Are Streamlining Their Operations as dynaCERT Enters a Pivotal Phase
When heavy-duty trucks and massive mining equipment operate at full capacity for hours on end, they burn vast amounts of fossil fuels. While the energy and industrial sectors continue to push the transition towards cleaner alternatives, at least judging by media coverage, challenging conditions in the mining industry, high interest rates and economic uncertainty continue to delay many ambitious climate projects. Companies that are unable or unwilling to make large-scale investments are therefore looking for transitional solutions that can reduce operating costs while at least partially lowering emissions. We take a closer look at three companies that are well positioned to benefit from this trend.

Big Money in Sustainability – SAP and Siemens Energy Are Raking It In – RE Royalties Delivers a 10% Dividend
The transition to clean electricity is not failing for lack of will, but because of the enormous practical hurdles. While the rise of artificial intelligence is fueling demand for green energy, existing power grids worldwide are reaching their limits. At the same time, smaller project developers in this niche are grappling with financing and regulatory issues, while industrial conglomerates are required to disclose their carbon footprints with ever-greater transparency. Investors looking to capitalize on this complex situation must understand the various players and the challenges they face. We provide an overview and introduce a little-known hidden gem.

The Energy Sector Boom Is Boosting Critical Metals: Siemens Energy, Nel ASA, Globex Mining, and Nordex in the Spotlight
The world is changing rapidly! The escalating crisis in the Middle East highlights the acute vulnerability of global commodity supply chains and is forcing Western industrialized nations to undergo a radical geopolitical realignment. To free themselves from dependence on unstable regions and autocratic monopolies, the US and Canada are investing heavily in the accelerated development of self-sufficient North American supply chains for critical minerals and precious metals. This development is receiving an additional regulatory boost from the protectionist economic policies of a second Trump administration—under the slogan "Drill, Baby, Drill"—and is creating a boom for resource-rich areas of North America, such as the Abitibi Belt in Québec. In this highly volatile market environment, Globex Mining, a licensing specialist that consistently operates behind the scenes, is emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries of recent times. While partner companies finance the capital-intensive drilling operations, the company risk-free acquires valuable smelting licenses and positions itself perfectly for the energy transition that will shape the future. For investors, the North American renaissance in resource extraction offers multiple opportunities. In contrast, after an extended rally, established energy companies appear to be taking a breather. A critical look is warranted.

Volkswagen Under Pressure! Is Porsche AG Ready to Accelerate? RE Royalties Near a Technical Breakout?
The world remains mired in a web of conflicts and wars, leaving financial markets repeatedly holding their breath. Geopolitically, we appear to be heading towards a scenario that would have seemed unthinkable only a short time ago. Will the conflict with Iran escalate further? Are we facing devastating large-scale US air strikes in the Middle East, following the deployment of B-1 bombers to the region? Could the situation even escalate to the use of a tactical nuclear weapon, or is this historic sabre-rattling ultimately a calculated bluff by global powers—designed to trigger panic before the next major "TACO trade" unfolds? While investors grapple with uncertainty, Europe's traditional industries are coming under increasing pressure. The automotive sector and its suppliers are particularly vulnerable. Even iconic German industrial giants such as Volkswagen are showing signs of strain, prompting an increasingly uncomfortable question: Will Volkswagen still exist in five years? In this historic context, the wheat is truly being separated from the chaff. While traditional industries and corporations are fighting for their very survival, smaller niche players are seeing significant opportunities emerge. We take a closer look at where investors may still be able to generate attractive returns.

A Moment of Truth, Bankruptcy Fears, or Comeback? Plug Power & Nel ASA Fight for Survival! Will Lahontan Gold See a Technical Breakout?
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and an escalation in the Iran conflict are currently causing further turmoil in global financial markets. Crude oil prices are climbing noticeably, while uncertainty among market participants grows by the day. How much higher can prices go, or will peace negotiations resume? The news suggests otherwise. B-1 bombers are being sent to, or redeployed to, the Middle East. Yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds have risen to 4.7%—the highest level this year. In any case, with the resurgent oil price shock, inflation also threatens to pick up again, which could pose significant challenges for central banks worldwide. In this nervous market environment, investors are desperately searching for clear reference points and promising tangible assets. While traditional hydrogen pioneers such as Plug Power and Nel ASA continue to struggle to maintain their own stability and liquidity, select commodity stocks may offer better prospects. In these turbulent times, investors looking to build a more resilient portfolio need to take a closer look.

From AI Boom to Copper Boom! Siemens Energy Above EUR 200, Oracle Set to Double? Is Power Metallic Mines Ready to Break Out?
Current figures are rarely decisive on the stock market. The market looks to the future, comparing company announcements or quarterly data against expectations. This drives price movements. Figures from competitors also allow for conclusions to be drawn, but not without limitations. Siemens Energy has recently come under pressure because its competitor, GE Vernova, provided an outlook that fell short of expectations. AI is not always a surefire driver of share price performance. Oracle illustrates this point. Although the numbers are solid, the high level of investment is alarming market participants. They perceive rising risks, which led to a massive share price correction. Analysts now believe the stock could double in value. According to experts, there is even more upside potential at Power Metallic Mines. The Canadian company owns one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. The release of the first resource estimate is expected soon. This could boost the share price. Analysts see nearly 200% upside potential here. How should forward-looking investors position themselves now?

Things are heating up! Disappointment at Nel ASA - can A.H.T. Syngas, E.ON, and ITM Power deliver?
It is earnings season again! As is the case every year starting in mid-July, publicly traded companies are reporting on the past quarter. There is a lot of movement, especially among the highly watched tech stocks, some of which have suffered sharp price declines in recent weeks. Nel ASA has already reported its Q2 results, confirming the difficult situation in the hydrogen business with another revenue decline—though at least order intake is on the rise. With the climate and energy transition back in the spotlight amid summer temperatures nearing 40 degrees, we are also taking a look at its competitors in the energy sector. A.H.T. Syngas continues to grow in Poland, ITM Power secures additional EU funding, and E.ON is making acquisitions in the UK.

Cameco, American Atomics, and ElringKlinger Make a Splash
The next long-term investment trend is taking shape in the capital markets. While many investors focus on short-term price fluctuations, future markets worth billions are emerging in the background. The expansion of nuclear energy, the industrial use of hydrogen, and the development of independent raw material and supply chains are gaining momentum worldwide. At the same time, the transformation of the automotive industry is opening up new opportunities in the global auto parts business. Companies that benefit early on from these structural developments could be poised for a sustained revaluation.
