Hi everyone,

This is my first contribution. I have been observing the two wind power values for some time now $NDX1 (-1,4 %) and $VWS (-1,79 %) - and am also invested in both.

Gradually, both seem to be profitable or becoming more and more profitable, which could explain the current upward movement in the market, among other things. While many tech and crypto stocks are currently correcting massively, the last few days have seen a further sharp rise in both candidates.

But is it enough to end the prolonged downward trend and build a sustainable bottom or reverse the trend? It remains exciting.

It will also be interesting to see how Nordex performs tomorrow after the presentation of the figures for the full year 2024 and what reactions will follow in the market.

Also nice: some analysts are currently attesting to considerable upside potential. Goldman Sachs, for example, recently confirmed its buy rating for both stocks. Nordex €20.10; Vestas DKK 197 (~€26.41).

How do you see the whole thing? Do you still believe in wind energy stocks? Who is still invested?

Kind regards ✌️

Nordex Group receives orders for 500 MW from Canada + Oil and gas producer Equinor acquires stake in wind power company Orsted + Order intake in Germany calls for caution + China's economy remains weak

The Nordex Group
$NDX1 (-1,4 %) received orders for 74 N163 turbines totaling 500 MW from Canada at the end of September. The orders also include the Premium Service for maintaining the turbines for between 15 and 30 years.

The Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor $EQNR (+2,07 %) has acquired a minority stake in the Danish wind power company Orsted $ORSTED (+3,48 %) making it the second largest shareholder. Equinor bought almost 41.2 million shares, the company announced in Stavanger on Monday. This corresponds to a stake of 9.8 percent. This has a market value of 2.5 billion US dollars (just under 2.3 billion euros), based on the closing price on Friday. The largest shareholder is the Danish state. According to Orsted, the country held a good half of the shares at the end of the year. Following the announcement of the news, Orsted shares rose by a good four percent to 434 Danish kroner. Equinor emphasized that it supports Orsted's strategy and board of directors. In addition, the Norwegians did not intend to take a seat on the management board. Without specifying a time horizon, the Norwegians announced their intention to increase their stake to ten percent. There are currently no plans to increase the stake beyond this. The company described its commitment as "long-term".

As was to be feared following the recent weak sentiment indicators, the German incoming orders in August fell significantly. Even if the 5.8 percent drop compared to the previous month is partly due to a lower number of large orders, today's data confirms to Commerzbank economists that demand for industrial goods from Germany has weakened further. This suggests that the German economy will stagnate at best in the second half of the year. An upturn is not expected until next year, and even this is likely to be very modest.

FED interest rate cut today + Tenders for onshore wind power pick up + Daimler Truck, weak demand in Europe + Tupperware files for bankruptcy in the US

The US Federal Reserve is expected to announce its interest rate turnaround this Wednesday. The tension is high. After all, it is still unclear how much it will cut key interest rates. According to a survey by the Bloomberg news agency, a majority of economists surveyed expect the interest rate spread to be reduced by 0.25 percentage points to between 5.0 and 5.25 percent. However, there are also a number of economists who believe a larger interest rate cut of 0.50 percentage points is likely. There has recently been increasing speculation on the financial markets about a larger interest rate hike. The US Federal Reserve has been holding on to the current interest rate for 14 months. Previously, it had quickly raised key interest rates in the fight against high inflation. A rate cut is now considered a foregone conclusion. After all, the inflation rate has been trending downwards in recent months and stood at 2.5 percent in August.

What do you think we can expect tonight? 0.25% or 0.5%. Will the market be disappointed by 0.25%, as 0.5% was expected? It remains exciting.

$NDX1 (-1,4 %) In the tenders for onshore wind turbines the Federal Network Agency has once again set a new record. On August 1, 230 bids with a volume of 2,723 megawatts were awarded, the agency announced. The tender was oversubscribed for the first time since February 2022, meaning that one bid was not accepted. The tender was for 2,709 megawatts. "This tender is a record. The volume of bids in this round is higher than ever before: the bid volume of almost 3 gigawatts significantly exceeds the volume of 2.5 gigawatts required to achieve the annual expansion target," said the President of the Federal Network Agency, Klaus Müller.

Daimler Truck $DTG (-1,2 %) is trying to cushion the weak demand for trucks in Europe, especially in Germany. "We are putting the brakes on costs in order to keep profitability at an acceptable level this year. For example, we imposed a spending freeze at the beginning of August," said CFO Eva Scherer. All costs that do not lead to sales, such as travel and events, are being reduced. "We are also avoiding new hires and replacing employees if it is not absolutely necessary." (Börsen-Zeitung)

The fresh food can specialist Tupperware $TUP has filed for bankruptcy in the USA after years of problems. At the same time, the company is seeking a sale and wants to continue operating. Proceedings under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code protect the company from the claims of its creditors. Tupperware, a pioneer in household food containers, has been struggling with economic difficulties for some time. In recent months, negotiations have been underway with creditors, to whom Tupperware owes several hundred million dollars. A sale is now intended to protect the brand, according to a press release. At the same time, the aim is to drive forward the transformation into a primarily technology-based company.

The sell-off on Wall Street the previous evening was echoed on the Asian stock exchanges on Thursday. This continues the recent slump on the regional stock exchanges, which has recently only been interrupted by brief interim recoveries on a daily basis. The technology sector in particular is once again suffering after US sector companies failed to impress with their business figures. According to traders, AI hopes are now being questioned more and more critically.

AT & T Inc. $T (+1,29 %) hit analysts' estimates in the second quarter with earnings per share of $0.57. Sales of $29.8 billion below expectations of $29.98 billion.

IBM $IBM (+3,89 %) second quarter EPS of $2.43 beats analyst estimates of $2.17. Revenue of $15.8 billion beats expectations of $15.62 billion. IBM confirms free cash flow outlook for the fiscal year and expects $12 billion and year-over-year revenue growth by division: Software +7.1 percent, Consulting -0.9 percent, Infrastructure +0.7 percent.

STMicroelectronics $STM (+1,67 %) continues to suffer from weak demand for chips from the automotive industry. The semiconductor manufacturer has now lowered its sales and margin forecast for the year as a whole again after April. STMicro now expects sales of 13.2 to 13.7 billion US dollars. Previously, the Group had assumed sales of 14 to 15 billion. The gross margin is now expected to be around 40 percent. The previous forecast had been for a value in the lower 40 percent range.

Nordex $NDX1 (-1,4 %) achieved sales of €3.4 billion (previous year: €2.8 billion, analyst forecast: €3.1 billion), EBITDA of €118 million (previous year: -€114 million), an EBITDA margin of 3.4% (previous year: -4.2%), total output of 3.3 megawatts (previous year: 2.8 MW) and a net result of -€12.5 million (previous year: -€299 million) in the first half of the year. Order backlog at the end of June at €11.0 billion (previous year: €6.9 billion at the end of 2023). In the outlook for 2024, Nordex now sees the EBITDA margin at 3% to 4% (previously: 2% to 4%) and confirms a medium-term EBITDA margin of 8%. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex's margin expectations for 2024 are slightly better after the first half of the year. The company announced in Hamburg on Thursday that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are likely to be between 3 and 4 percent of sales this year. Previously, the lower end of the range was 2 percent, after only just breaking even operationally in 2023. In the medium term, Nordex is still aiming for an earnings margin of 8 percent, but is still busy working off unprofitable old orders.

15.07.2024 +++ Markets remain tense +++ Interest rate cut still unclear +++ Bitcoin continues to recover +++ Nordex with fewer incoming orders +++

Markets generally unimpressed by the weekend's events. Bitcoin $BTC (+1,54 %) even climbed well above 60,000$ again and US markets are currently up in pre-market trading. That looks like a positive start to the week.

There will be further updates here during the course of the day:

Nordex
$NDX1 (-1,4 %) recorded significant growth in order intake in the first half of the year. However, orders weakened noticeably in the second quarter. Prices remained stable.

Sentiment dangerous - don't follow the interest rate cut hype

The conclusion for investors should be not to fall for wishful thinking when it comes to interest rate cuts. Even Fed officials are apparently not immune to this. Chicago Fed President Goolsbee rejoiced after the price data about "excellent" data and that "this is what the path to 2 percent looks like". However, he left open how much time will be spent on this path. If share price gains are only justified by the expectation that interest rates will fall "soon", investors should stay away. The current sentiment in the USA is also suspicious. According to surveys by the AAII investor association, the proportion of optimistic investors there has jumped to 49.2% within a week. The historical average is just under 38%.

Hello dear community,

I am pursuing a dividend strategy, but from next year I want to focus more on growth. As a basis, I would like to run a savings plan on the $VWCE (-0,12 %) This will also be my largest position. I also want to divest myself of some positions such as $NEM (-0,78 %)
$RIO (-1,12 %)
$NDX1 (-1,4 %) when the price rises and I can sell with a plus.

As growth stocks I have thought of for the beginning $AMZN (-1,56 %)
$MSFT (-1,69 %)
$NOVO B (-1,34 %)
$GOOGL (+0,19 %) but I'm not sure yet. Many thanks in advance for the feedback 😊
