    TubeSolar AG - AgroPhotovoltaic play with a lot of potential

    The share certificates of TubeSolar AG have only been listed since February 14. The Augsburg-based company is a spin-off of the laboratory production including patents of OSRAM/LEDVANC. TubeSolar has been manufacturing photovoltaic thin-film tubes that are assembled into modules since 2019. These thin-film tubes for solar energy generation have considerable advantages over silicon solar modules, for example in terms of weight, geometry, material usage, and yield.

    The technology is to be used primarily in the agricultural sector (agro-photovoltaics) and span agricultural production areas. In the next few years, it is expected to expand production in Augsburg to an annual production capacity of 250 MW.

    TubeSolar AG has announced that it is aiming for a capital increase with subscription rights and a listing on the m:access of the Munich Stock Exchange.

    The company plans to put a production facility with a capacity of 20 MW into operation in the fiscal year 2021. For this purpose, the Free State of Bavaria will grant the company an investment subsidy of up to EUR 10.8 million. This exciting company currently has a market capitalization of EUR 83.5 million.

    Blackrock Gold Corp - Waiting for the next price boost

    Blackrock Gold is an exploration company focused on the discovery of gold and silver deposits in the State of Nevada. Nevada, also known as the "Silver State", is one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.

    At the beginning of June, the stock started a rapid upward movement, which led from CAD 0.30 to almost CAD 1.60 within a very short time. Extensive investment commitments of CAD 12 million, including CAD 5 million from industry icon Eric Sprott, were the reasons for this. The share is currently quoted at CAD 0.90 and is valued at around CAD 100 million. With its coffers full, the company has now increased the 2020 exploration program to identify high-grade zones. Four targets have been defined on the Tonopah project.

    The Silver Cloud project, as the company recently announced, will most likely be spun off into a separate exploration company. The company's management is currently considering that Blackrock shareholders will receive one SpinCo share for every three shares held. The market is now waiting for approval.

    It is only a matter of time before the share price will increase as a result of new drill results. The spin-off of the Silver Cloud project will also have a positive effect.

    FCR Immobilien AG - Capital increase and change to the regulated market planned

    FCR Immobilien, listed on m:access, intends to carry out a capital increase and is also planning a segment change from scale to regulated trading. FCR reported that it has "adopted a comprehensive package of measures for the planned growth of the company."

    A securities prospectus, for the short-term implementation of the segment change, and the capital increase, was submitted to BaFin. Further details of KE are not yet available. The funds received from the planned cash capital increase, with subscription rights for existing shareholders and public offering, are to be used to expand the real estate portfolio. FCR intends to expand its real estate portfolio from over EUR 300 million by a further EUR 160 million.

    FCR is a specialized investor for shopping and specialty shopping centers in Germany, focusing on promising secondary locations that offer above-average yield potential due to their location. FCR also invests opportunistically in the asset classes: office, residential, and logistics. The company has set a target of EUR 11.1 million in earnings before taxes for the current fiscal year. The share is thus favorably valued.

    Gold Sector Remains Optimistic: How Kinross Gold and Orla Mining Are Securing the Future—and Lahontan Gold's Hidden Ace

    "Gold. Power. Greed." That was the title of a recent documentary aired by German broadcaster ZDF, exploring the enduring appeal of the precious metal. Investors seeking returns from precious metals often turn their attention first to giants such as Barrick Mining and other major producers. Yet while new discoveries may have only a limited impact on the share prices of established mining companies, positive exploration results can drive a very different level of momentum among smaller players. Agile exploration companies that can supply the processing plants of major producers—thanks to fresh capital, prime locations, and manageable costs—promise dynamic upside potential, as recently highlighted in the ZDF documentary. We introduce three exciting companies and highlight where investors can expect strong momentum.

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

    Do Not Miss Gold's Next Rally: Why Newmont, Desert Gold and Agnico Eagle Deserve a Closer Look

    Investors are watching the yellow precious metal closely; its price has recently come under pressure but has stabilized above USD 4,000. The fundamental conditions for further price increases remain intact. Central banks continue to prefer buying gold over the US dollar; geopolitical turmoil is driving demand for safe-haven assets; and the prospect of falling key interest rates is traditionally good for gold prices. At the same time, robust physical demand coupled with stagnant production is leading to a supply shortage. This environment is fostering positive sentiment, particularly among producers. A look at the current situation at Newmont, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle reveals which companies could benefit most from this tailwind.
