    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.

    Between market panic and profit: What Almonty has in common with Apple and IBM

    The war in Iran has long since become a conflagration in the Middle East, including energy price shocks. Trading on Tuesday was particularly typical of this market environment. The day perfectly reflects the psychological state of market participants. Driven by horror stories from the Middle East and concerns about a global energy crisis, many stocks experienced drastic fluctuations. But while many stocks are still under pressure, Almonty's share price revealed a pattern that experienced market participants interpret as a sign of relative strength. After initially falling sharply, the stock stabilized rapidly, pushing the price back up significantly before the close of trading. In periods of extreme uncertainty, investors are not looking for short-term speculation, but rather for companies with a unique market position, a crisis-proof margin structure, and operating potential based on irreplaceable resources. We draw historical comparisons and explain that even heavyweights such as IBM and Apple have had to weather headwinds in the past.

    Gold in the ground, cash on the way: Why Desert Gold is well positioned for the gold boom fueled by the Iran war

    When major industry players start writing billion-dollar checks to buy their way into a region, investors should take a closer look. The acquisition of Canadian producer Allied Gold by Chinese giant Zijin Mining for CAD 5.5 billion caused a stir in West Africa at the beginning of the year. But above all, it is a wake-up call for anyone still searching for the gems that the market has overlooked. In the immediate vicinity of the acquired Allied Gold concessions, in the same highly productive Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ), lies Desert Gold with a market capitalization of around CAD 35 million. The company owns an impressive 440 sq km of exploration ground within the same highly productive structural corridor that hosts operations owned by Barrick, B2Gold, and Endeavour. Geologically, this is the Champions League. From a valuation standpoint, however, Desert Gold plays in a completely different league. This discrepancy between geological setting and market capitalization forms the core of the investment thesis.

    War in focus, silver in the portfolio: Why Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver are now must-own stocks

    The escalating war in Iran has suddenly catapulted precious metals into the center of investor attention. While gold, as a classic crisis hedge, has reached new heights, silver is undergoing an unprecedented revaluation. It combines the security of a precious metal with its irreplaceable role as a high-tech raw material for photovoltaics, e-mobility, and AI infrastructure. Geopolitical supply chain risks are exacerbating an already existing supply deficit, while industrial demand is reaching record levels. Investors are now wondering which companies are best positioned in this environment. We therefore take a look at the strategies of Newmont, Silver Viper Minerals, and First Majestic Silver.
