TSMC, NetraMark, and Siemens Energy defy the crisis
The global economy is faltering. The US president's tariff policy prompted the World Trade Organization (WTO) to drastically cut its forecast for global trade in its latest report. It drastically cut its forecast for global trade in goods and now expects global trade volume to decline by 0.2% in 2025. Several analysts have also lowered their outlook for the S&P 500. While experts' price targets at the beginning of the year were still at 6,600 points, they have now been lowered to an average of 5,950 points. Nevertheless, some companies are able to weather the crisis and at least confirm their annual targets.

USE BUY-LEVEL PRICES! Deutz, Infineon, and Walmart partner, MiMedia: Analyst favorite, AI hidden gem, and profiteer!
MiMedia is likely to face a revaluation. The AI cloud player has held up surprisingly well during the recent sell-off, even completing a capital increase beforehand, and is now starting operations with the giant Walmart in Latin America. Revenues are expected to increase massively this year – will the stock follow suit? Deutz has also held up well in these turbulent times. Following the takeover in the electric sector, the Company confidently announced price increases despite the tariff chaos.

The raw materials revolution with Almonty Industries, Barrick Gold, and ASML - The architects of the digital future
Technological progress is impossible without strategic materials such as tungsten, gold and hyperpure silicon wafers for semiconductors. Three companies play a key role in ensuring the security of supply in the Western world. Almonty Industries is on the verge of opening a large tungsten mine in South Korea. The Sangdong mine, which can meet 10% of global tungsten demand, offers a real alternative to Chinese dominance for the first time – a strategic breakthrough, given that 97% of South Korea's tungsten demand has historically come from China. Barrick Gold reaffirms the stability of the precious metals sector with gold production of 943,000 ounces in the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, ASML, the world's leading manufacturer of lithography systems, is securing the future of chip production. Despite geopolitical tensions with China, ASML expects revenues of EUR 30 to 35 billion by 2025 - a clear signal of the growing importance of the semiconductor industry. We have three companies in focus.

Infineon, BrainChip, Nvidia - Chip market facing the next wave
Due to current events in connection with the Ukraine conflict and the announced sanctions against Russia, certain everyday goods are becoming scarce. Currently, consumers face empty supermarket shelves for sunflower oil, for example. It seems almost forgotten that there is also still a shortage of semiconductors. This crisis could worsen because of the war. One reason is that the noble gas neon, which is necessary for chip production, could run out. Intel CEO Gelsinger expects the chip shortage to last into 2023.
