Two shares in short check ⬇️


The first company in question is CropEnergies. $CE2


What is Cropenergies and what does it do?

CropEnergies AG is a Germany-based producer of bio-ethanol from grain and sugar beets. As a byproduct of bioethanol, the company also produces various food and animal feed products, such as ProtiWanze, a liquid protein feed for feeding ruminants and pigs, and a high-quality dried stillage protein feed produced by drying and partially by pelleting. In addition, the company also produces neutral alcohol for the beverage, food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for industrial applications such as the production of windshield washer fluid and disinfectants. The company operates production facilities in Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom and France, and has commercial offices in Brazil, Chile and the United States.


How many employees does the company have: 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

Currently, CropEnergies employs a total of about 450 people.


P/E RATIO:

Canadian Solar is valued at a P/E ratio of approximately 4.65. This is a very low P/E ratio.


Foundation:

CropEnergies was founded in 2006 in Mannheim, Germany.


Market capitalization: 🏦

Currently, the company has a market capitalization of around 975 million euros.


Dividend yield: 💰

To date, the company has paid out a considerable dividend of currently around 5.4% to its shareholders. This dividend is paid out to shareholders annually in July.


Strengths of the share: 📈

  • Over the past year, analysts following the company have significantly increased their earnings per share estimates.
  • The average analyst price target is relatively far from the current price, suggesting a potentially significant increase in value.
  • The company has a solid financial position given its high cash position and large profit margins.
  • The company has solid fundamentals. More than 70% of companies have a weaker mix of growth, profitability, debt and predictability.
  • The company pays its shareholders a nice dividend of over 5%.
  • CropEnergies is extremely low valued with a P/E ratio of 4.65.


Weaknesses of the share: 📉

  • The price targets of the analysts included differ considerably. This indicates different assessments and/or difficulties in valuing the company
  • The company's projected earnings per share (EPS) for the next few years is a significant weakness.


How does the stock look chart-wise? 📈📉

Let's take a look at the company chart-wise. The share price is currently €11.10. Unfortunately, the share has been in a downward trend for weeks. It would now be important to slowly form a floor around the 11 € and take the first resistances in attack. It would be important if the share first takes out the 11.30€ mark and then sustainably breaks through the resistance at just under 11.50€. The next target would then be the zone at just under €12.10. If this is subsequently overcome, the next target would be €12.55. If the share also comes over there sustainably is the next target and the next resistance at just under 14 €. I am very curious how the course now develops and now turns soon.


The second company, which we and look at is Verbio AG: $VBK (-2.98%)


What is and does Verbio: 🧐

Verbio Vereinigte Bioenergie AG (VERBIO AG) is a Germany-based company operating in the bioenergy sector. The company focuses on the production and distribution of biofuels. It operates in two business segments: The Biodiesel segment, which produces biodiesel, and the Bioethanol segment, which produces bioethanol and biomethane.

It supplies its products directly to petroleum companies, petroleum trading companies, independent service stations, trucking companies, municipal utilities and fleets. The company operates through a number of subsidiaries in Germany and abroad.


How many employees does the company have: 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

Verbio currently employs a total of just under 1,000 people.


P/E RATIO:

The company Verbio AG is valued with a P/E ratio of approximately 9.10. This is also a very low P/E ratio.


Foundation:

Verbio was formed in 2006 by merging two bioethanol companies. Both were founded by Claus Sauter, who also became CEO of the public company.


Market capitalization: 🏦

Currently, the company has a market capitalization of around 2.7 billion euros.


Dividend yield: 💰

The company currently pays out a dividend of around 0.45% to its shareholders. This dividend is distributed to shareholders annually in February. This means that shareholders receive €0.20 per share each year. Unlike many other companies, Verbio did not have to reduce the dividend during the Corona years. Instead, they have been able to increase it by 30% annually in recent years, while net debt has remained negative.

The Verbio share is well suited for dividend growth investors due to the dividend growth.


Strengths of the share: 📈

  • The majority of analysts following the stock recommend its purchase or consider the stock.
  • The average price target of the analysts is relatively far from the current price, which suggests a potentially significant increase in value.
  • The company has a solid financial position given its high cash position and large profit margins.


Weaknesses of the share: 📉

  • The company's earnings growth prospects are not very dynamic and represent a weakness.
  • In the last four months, the average price target of analysts has been revised significantly downward.


How does the share look from a chart perspective? 📈📉

Currently, the share is at €43.70. Just below us at €42.70 is a very important support zone that should hold. This has now also been approached several times and could not be sustainably broken until now. The first goal would now be to take out the first resistance. This resistance is located at 47.10 €. If this is sustainably taken out, the next target would be at 49.70 €. After this mark is very much space first to the next resistance, which is at 58.00 €. This will then also very decide how it continues, because if this is also broken through extremely much space and room to the top is free.


Your opinion: 🧐

Now, of course, I would again like to hear your opinions on these two stocks in the comments.

What do you think of CropEnergies and Verbio and did you already know these companies?

Do you have one or both of these stocks maybe already in your portfolio?

Please let me know in the comments.


Of course, this is not investment advice but just my own opinion that I would like to share with you!

I find both interesting, but I decided to start with Verbio because I think the company is more diversified than Crop.

Am also invested in Verbio for a year already, with a stop at 42 €. Have already had to endure some highs, but by the German policy, many lows 😂 CEO wants to expand further in India and America, that I find good 👍 The policy here with us unfortunately sleeps

First of all, both companies are interesting. Both are at home in a market environment that is very volatile. Regarding Crop: you have forgotten one important note for me: 70% of the shares belong to Südzucker. Doesn't change Crop's business model 🤣 good dividend increases in recent years. Share price decline according to Robert Habeck's statement - just not as much as Verbio. Verbio: the share price plummeted massively last year according to a statement by Robert Habeck (approx. - 50% ) Since then, the share price has not recovered. Interesting companies in the context of the "energy turnaround".
