How I invest €20,000 now - My strategy in May 2025

I have decided to reinvest €20,000 and am focusing on a mix of growth and quality stocks with a long-term perspective. Here is my allocation:


5,000 € - Jumia $JMIA (-2.76%)

Africa's leading e-commerce player is currently heavily undervalued. The company has lowered its cost base, operates more efficiently and will benefit from the growing internet and mobile payment market in Africa in the long term. For me, a speculative but promising small cap with a 5-10 year horizon.


7,500 € - AMD $AMD (-1.7%)

AMD continues to impress with its strong product portfolio, particularly in the areas of AI, server CPUs and gaming. The valuation is much more favorable compared to Nvidia, with a high level of innovation at the same time. I see great potential here for the coming years, especially in the data center and AI segment.


2.500 € - PayPal $PYPL (-3.22%)

Despite a weak share price performance in recent years, PayPal remains a strong player in the payment sector. The company is highly profitable, generates strong cash flow and could switch back into growth mode with the right strategic decisions. For me, it is a turnaround candidate with potential.


5,000 € - Airbus $AIR (-2.96%)

Airbus is benefiting from global aviation growth in the long term. The order books are full and the Group is well positioned both technologically and geopolitically. In times of uncertainty and the re-industrialization of Europe, I see this as a solid industrial stock with a stable tailwind.


Conclusion:

I deliberately combine growth stocks (Jumia, AMD) with established quality companies (Airbus, PayPal). The focus is on long-term potential - I accept fluctuations. Time in the market beats timing the market.


What do you think - would you weight differently or do you have a position in one of these stocks yourself?

First of all: I am invested in AMD myself. AMD only has a small moat. The network effects are also limited. The bet is basically that the number 2 in the data center & AI sector will experience similar growth to Nvidia in this wave of AI demand and will achieve significantly higher share price gains due to a smaller market cap. This basically means a kind of value play. Multiple expansion with continued 25%+ growth is the hypothesis. The only concern I would have here is that AMD is also clearly behind Nvidia in robotics, in addition to China's already established players. Perhaps ASML or TSM would be the better play in terms of market technology?

@lightw8_invest thanks for the input. I think I'll stick with AMD :-)

@WinStreak77 Nothing ventured, nothing gained! I find Jumia very interesting, never heard of it before. The African continent as a whole will probably also be the region in which the demographics will mainly consist of young, tech-savvy sections of the population in the future, at least in the stable countries

I'm worried about your 20k..... Jumia? Why? Had never heard of it before so looked it up in my usual analysis tools and that was a clear SOS for me. Growth is microscopic (also in perspective) and it is not expected to become profitable in the next 5 years, so for a small cap a clear no overall. I don't see AMD on the winning track yet either, as NVIDIA and ARM in particular will cause them problems. I think PayPal has reached its peak and the competition is growing. I don't think they can do anything in Asia and it could become more difficult for them in Europe in the future (geopolitical rethinking in the financial sector). Airbus is fine, everything is playing into their hands at the moment. But of the 20k, 15k is not a good investment in my opinion. But as we all know, everyone sees things differently ;)

@PikaPika0105 Thanks for the input :-) I might build more on Airbus

@WinStreak77 I recommend Simply Wall Street as an analysis tool!
@PikaPika0105 AMD? Take a look at AMD's data center division! Then you will realize that AMD has destroyed Intel's highly profitable business since around 2017. The Eypc server CPUs boost the profit margin regardless of AI events. Now that AMD has finally made some money and is well positioned, it could also surprise us as an AI accelerator producer. Nvidia or not, in a few years at the latest I see AMD as a serious competitor, also in this area. But then AMD will definitely be somewhere else...

@tiberius_44 I'm curious! ARM is gaining market share in the area of data center CPUs and has very ambitious goals in this area. Stargate will not play into AMD's hands in this respect either. However, AMD should definitely not be written off, as the market is huge. Intel will probably not be competing with anyone in a few years' time :)

I find it really difficult to pinpoint the quality or growth in Jumia...

@WatFuernName you don't have to, what do you say to the other shares :-)

@WinStreak77 I like the rest, and the entry points shouldn't be too bad right now.
Just remember it's a lot of money for a very speculative stock

Leave 5k behind and add Bitcoin during the reset in the summer slump!

@Testo-Investor bitcoin is only exciting for me at 15-20k.

@WinStreak77 then dream a little longer 😂 was just a well-intentioned tip

@Testo-Investor If you look at 2018 and 2021, it went up twice and then down enormously, it may be that everything is different this time anyway, but for me the roll is too hot :-)

@WinStreak77 you are unfortunately no longer in the game, so better leave it alone. That will ever see Btc at 20k again standing at 1% but anything is possible. But crypto as an addition hammer. That's why I would do it. Because your stock picks are not such a burner now and the timing is bad ....

AMD's valuation is more favorable than NVIDIA? What figures are you looking at? NVIDI's P/E ratio is 46, AMD's is 85.

Forget Africa, fled Pharrell and the planes 🙈
