The military escalation between the USA, Israel and Iran is causing strong market movements worldwide. Investors are shifting out of cyclical sectors and into security, energy and defense.

Bitcoin $BTC (+0.32%) shows surprising stability

• 📈 In the meantime +8,1 %
• 💰 Just over 70,000 dollars
• Stabilization at around 69,000 dollars

Despite geopolitical risks, Bitcoin is apparently being used as a liquidity parking lot in the short term. At the same time, volatility remains high - further escalations could trigger new spikes.

_________________________

🛢 Oil prices up significantly

• Brent: + just under 6 %
• WTI: + a good 5 %
• In the meantime even +13 %

According to the report, the USA is currently no release from the strategic oil reserve. The market is still considered to be supplied, but the situation remains tense.

_________________________

🏦 Banks under pressure

The European banking index loses around 3,5 % - sharpest decline since April 2025.

Particularly affected:

• HSBC - $HSBA (-1.13%)
• Barclays - $BARC (-2.08%)
• Standard Chartered - $STAN (-1.14%)
• Deutsche Bank - $DBK (-1.94%)
• BNP Paribas - $BNP (-2.96%)
• BBVA - $BBVA (-0.47%)
• Commerzbank - $CBK (-1.87%)

In the USA also weaker until the US opening:

• Bank of America - $BAC (-1.37%)
• Citigroup - $C (-1.55%)

Reason: Strong Middle East business of many institutions and general risk aversion of investors.

✈️ Travel industry collapses

High oil prices and uncertainty weigh heavily on tourism stocks:

• TUI - $TUI1 (-1.8%) (-11 %)
• Lufthansa - $LHA (-3.56%) (-11 %)

Flights to the region are canceled, travel offers suspended. Investors fear rising costs and falling booking figures.

💎 Luxury stocks clearly in the red

The European luxury index loses almost 4 %.

Strongly affected:

• Richemont - $CFR (+1.32%)
• Swatch - $UHR (-1.27%)
• LVMH - $MC (-0.3%)
• Hermès - $RMS (-2.2%)
• Kering - $KER (+0.79%)
• Brunello Cucinelli - $BC (+0.84%)
• Moncler - $MONC (-2.61%)
• Ferragamo - $SFER (+1.2%)

Background:

Luxury is heavily dependent on global travel. Capital flows out of cyclical stocks.

🛡 Defense stocks as clear winners

Geopolitical tensions drive up defense stocks:

• BAE Systems - $BA. (-2.42%)
• Lockheed Martin - $LMT (+0.15%)
• RTX - $RTX (-0.51%)
• Kratos - $KTOS (-3.45%)
• Hensoldt - $HAG (-4.33%)
• Leonardo - $LDO (-4.38%)
• Renk - $R3NK (-3.38%)
• Rheinmetall - $RHM (-3.25%)

Partial price increases of 3-6 %.

The focus is particularly on missile defense systems and possible increases in defense budgets.

🚢 Shipping companies benefit

Transport values increase due to detour (avoidance of Hormuz, Suez Canal & Bab al-Mandab):

• Maersk - $MAERSK A (-2.37%)
• Hapag-Lloyd - $HLAG (-3.88%)
• Torm - $TRMD A (-0.32%)
• Frontline - $FRO (-3.59%)
• Hoegh Autoliners $HAUTO (-1.2%)

Reason: Shortage of transport capacity and speculation on rising freight rates.

$HAUTO (-1.2%)

Hoegh Autoliners ASA is a Norwegian shipping company with over 90 years of history. The focus is on the transport of vehicles, machinery and other rolling stock across the world's oceans using specialized RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) vessels. The shipping company has developed into one of the most important players in global vehicle and heavy goods transportation and has significantly expanded its fleet.

Why dividend hunters should take a look here

What particularly interests dividend investors is the dividend policy, and Höegh Autoliners is exceptional in this respect:

🟦 Quarterly dividend payment

The company pays dividends several times a year, usually quarterly in March, May, September and November.

🟦 Very high dividend yield

The dividend yield is one of the highest on the market. Depending on the calculation period, it is clearly in the high double-digit range - around 19% to 25% compared to current share prices.

For example:

• An expected annual dividend of around € 1.95 per share corresponds to a dividend yield of almost 20% on the current share price.
• Historically, dividend yields of over 25 % to 30 % have even been observed when special payments are taken into account.

These are all yields that traditional dividend stocks in Europe or the USA can usually only dream of.

Total return ≠ dividend only

An often overlooked point about extremely high dividends is that they should not be viewed in isolation:

• Dividend yields of this level are partly the result of special distributions or share price declines that drive up the dividend percentage.
• The share has experienced strong price fluctuations in the past, and high dividends alone are no guarantee of long-term returns.

Nevertheless, quarterly distributions combined with an attractive valuation (low P/E ratio) are an interesting package for investors who prioritize current income.

Opportunities for dividend hunters

🟦 "Cash yield" instead of "price yield"

A large part of the dividend yield comes from actual cash distributions, not just theoretical calculations. This is a clear advantage for investors who want real income or rely on dividends for financial independence.

🟦 Quarterly payments instead of annual dividends

Many traditional dividend stocks only pay once a year. Four payments per year reduce reinvestment risks and improve cash flow.

🟦 Low valuation can mean further upside potential

A currently low P/E ratio (e.g. below 5) signals that the market is valuing the share very favorably. This can mean for dividend hunters:

➡️ High current distribution and potential for the share price to catch up.

Risks you should be aware of

As with any strong dividend stock, there are risks:

• Shipping industry volatility: fluctuating freight rates and global economic conditions impact earnings.
• Dividend fluctuations: Very high payments in one year can be lower the next if special payouts are not repeated.
• Share price risk: High dividend yields are often the result of falling share prices.

A dividend hunter should therefore see this share not just as an "interest payment", but as a company with operational risks and opportunities.

For whom is this share really interesting?

Ideal for:

• Investors who want stable and regular cash income
• Dividend income strategies with quarterly payments
• Investors with a medium to long-term horizon who can withstand fluctuations

Less suitable for:

• Investors who focus exclusively on price potential
• Risk-averse savers who prefer stable shares without sector cyclicality

Conclusion

The Hoegh Autoliners ASA share is a particularly exciting stock for yield and dividend hunters: it offers above-average current income, regular quarterly dividends and a business model with global reach in vehicle and heavy goods transportation. However, this attractiveness does not come without risk and volatility.

So if you prioritize "cash flow in the portfolio" over share price capitalization and are prepared to endure short-term fluctuations, this stock definitely belongs on your watchlist - because where else can you find similar dividend yields in established companies?

Of course, this is not a top analysis as you can see for yourselves. This is my personal opinion and I wanted to share it with you. Of course, it is not intended to encourage anyone to buy or sell. Everyone has to form their own opinion and start their own analysis.

A small overview in the article below 🙌

$MAERSK A (-2.37%)

Who or what is Mærsk?

Mærsk is not just any shipping company - it is THE global champion in the container business. At the same time, the company has undergone a strategic transformation in recent years: from a traditional shipping company to an end-to-end logistics provider. In concrete terms, Mærsk not only wants to transport goods for Amazon & Co. but also map the entire logistics process - including warehousing, customs, digitalization and more.

Facts, figures and data (as of mid-2024)

• Sales: $14.2 billion (Q2/2024) - +14% compared to the previous year
• EBIT: $1.1 billion - EBIT margin of 7.5% (Q1 still 1.4%)
• Net profit: $1.8 bn
• Market capitalization: approx. $24 bn
• P/E ratio: approx. 4
• P/E RATIO: ~0.6
• Dividend (TTM): approx. $162/share → approx. 9% dividend yield

Why is the share so cheap?

The market has punished Mærsk - partly rightly so:

📉 After the corona high (logistics boom, disrupted supply chains, high freight rates), profits slumped massively.

🌍 Geopolitical uncertainties (Suez/Red Sea), a weaker global economy and overcapacities are also having a negative impact.

But: many risks are priced in. And the management will show in 2024 that it is possible to operate profitably even with lower freight rates - with a focus on higher-margin logistics areas.

The Chinese battery giant CATL $3750 (-0.54%) has joined forces with the Danish shipping company Maersk $MAERSK A (-2.37%)
$MAERSK B (-2.5%) to drive electrification in the global logistics industry.

CATL entered into a strategic partnership with APM Terminals, a subsidiary of Maersk, on June 4, it was announced yesterday.

The two parties will use high-performance batteries and system solutions to accelerate the electrification of container handling equipment and drive the energy transition in the global logistics industry, CATL said in the announcement.

"APM Terminals is committed to decarbonization and has a clear roadmap in place. Today's collaboration is an important milestone in accelerating the future transition," said Grant Morrison, the company's Global Asset Procurement Director.

This represents a further deepening of the partnership between APM Terminals and CATL and is an important step towards the company's decarbonization strategy through the electrification of container handling equipment, he added.

CATL has previously worked with APM Terminals as part of the Zero Emission Port Alliance (ZEPA) to promote the use of electric container handling equipment.

This strategic partnership will further accelerate the development of "industry-leading solutions" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in terminals, said Li Xiaoning, executive president of CATL's overseas business.

ZEPA was established in December 2023, with APM Terminals as one of the main initiators and CATL as a member.

According to its website, ZEPA aims to accelerate the decarbonization of ports by making battery electric container handling equipment affordable and accessible in this decade.

According to South Korean market research firm SNE Research, CATL is the world's largest manufacturer of power batteries and held a 38.3 percent share of the global electric car battery market in the first quarter.

This month I made some difficult but necessary decisions to continue optimizing my portfolio.

📉 Difficult goodbyes...

I sold $JMT (-1.4%) e $MAERSK A (-2.37%) to strengthen my position in $GMAB (-1.54%) e $ABEV3 . It was especially difficult to let go Maerskbecause the dividend is strong and the company has a solid base. I don't know if I did the right thing or the wrong thing, but sometimes you have to take the leap when you see opportunities.

📈 Results for the month:

• The smallest change in the portfolio was -0,46%while the highest was +7,26%.
• YTD we're currently at +8.95%a figure I consider extraordinary, especially seeing that my massive exit from the US was the right decision.
• I've seen people who were +8% this year and are now already negative at -2%which reinforces the importance of a well-defined strategy.

💰 New acquisitions and betting on crypto

In addition to the movements on the stock market, I decided to invest 100% of my available capital this month in cryptocurrencies. 🚀

✅ $BTC (+0.32%)
& $ETH (-0.63%) - The giants of the market, with solidity and growing adoption.

✅ $DOT (+0.3%) - I believe in the potential of their blockchain interoperability technology.

✅ $AVAX (-4.15%) - Strong scalability and fast transactions, a project that continues to grow.

✅ $NEAR (-1.07%) - Focused on usability and the development of decentralized apps.

💡 Why invest now?

I'm strengthening in crypto because I've seen my portfolio fall by more than half and I believe that this is a great opportunity right now.

The market is still far from its top and I see great potential for appreciation in the medium to long term.

💭 Convictions for the shares:

If I had to invest more this month in stocks, I'd add more to Ambev and Genmabas I see great upside potential.

How are your portfolios?
