Hey guys,
I wanted to address a topic that is certainly of interest to us as investors: the reconstruction of Ukraine and which stocks could benefit from it. The geopolitical situation is constantly changing and there are many uncertainties. What happens if Donbass goes permanently to Russia? Will this slow down the reconstruction of Ukraine or could it still create opportunities for companies in the region?
America is getting involved mit🇺🇸
The USA is playing a central role in the reconstruction of Ukraine. A lot of money is already flowing into the region from the US, particularly for infrastructure, energy and technology. But it's not just about government aid - many US companies also have an interest in investing in the region. Considering how heavily the US is involved in supporting countries such as Poland and Ukraine, there are a number of companies here that could definitely benefit.
What happens if the Donbass goes to Russia?⚔️
If the Donbass is finally controlled by Russia, the geopolitical situation will of course worsen. This could slow down reconstruction in Ukraine, as this part of the country was an important industrial location. Nevertheless, billions of euros will flow into the western and central parts of Ukraine, and Poland could become an even more important partner in reconstruction.
Which stocks could benefit?📈🚀
If you look at who is active in the region, there are some exciting candidates that could benefit from the reconstruction. Here are a few companies that I think are well positioned:
♦️ Strabag (Austria): $STR (+2.29%) A construction company that is active in many infrastructure projects in Europe. They could play an important role in the reconstruction of roads, bridges and buildings - also in Poland and Ukraine.
♦️ PGE (Polska Grupa Energetyczna): $PGE (-0.35%) Poland's largest energy company. PGE could benefit from the expansion of the energy supply in Ukraine.
♦️ Budimex: $BDX (+1.3%) Another Polish construction company that is doing well in infrastructure projects. When Ukraine awards major construction contracts, Budimex could be one of the first ports of call.
♦️ KGHM: $KGH (+0.1%) This company is active in copper production. And we know how important copper is for reconstruction - whether for power lines, machinery or other infrastructure.
♦️ Asseco Poland:
$ACP (-0.56%) An IT company that is active in many areas. They could play a key role in modernizing the digital infrastructure in Ukraine.
♦️ General Electric (USA) $GEC GE operates globally and Ukraine needs a lot of energy infrastructure. GE could benefit by providing solutions in the field of energy supply.
♦️ Siemens: $SIE (-2.27%)
$ENR (+2.23%) The German company could play a crucial role in reconstruction through its expertise in energy and infrastructure.
Conclusion❔☝🏽
The geopolitical situation will keep us busy for some time, but one thing is clear: the reconstruction of Ukraine will require a lot of resources and investment, and many companies from Poland, the EU and the US are well positioned to benefit. Even if the Donbass aligns with Russia, the need for construction projects, energy and technology in western Ukraine and Poland will continue.
