Finally the certificate from @Krush82 finally made it into my portfolio 🤝🚀

$But my $1211 (-1,76 %) position had to give way.

While everyone is eyeing Big Tech, a story is building up at $STLAM (+3,13 %) a story is building up that value investors cannot ignore. After the horror year of 2025, the Q1 figures for 2026 point to a massive turning point.

Why I am bullish now:

1. focus on the cash cows (The "Big Four") 🐎

Stellantis has put an end to the proliferation of brands. The Group is radically focusing on Fiat, Peugeot, Jeep and RAM. These brands bring volume and margin. Fiat in particular is an absolute gold mine thanks to its dominance in South America!

2. the realism check: hydrogen exit & battery focus 🔋

Stellantis cleans up:

- Consistent exit from hydrogen: The Symbio exit (April '26) shows: If you want to burn money, do it elsewhere. $STLAM (+3,13 %) Saves billions in future capex.

- Smart battery deals: Partnership with CATL $3750 (+1,31 %) (LFP cells) and Tiamat (sodium-ion). Affordable batteries for the masses instead of expensive high-end niche products.

3. the "Leapmotor" joker vs. EU competition 🇨🇳

Stellantis builds the technology of $9863

(Leapmotor) in Europe. This allows them to circumvent EU tariffs and gives them a weapon against BYD $1211 (-1,76 %) which $VOW (+1,12 %) (VW) or $BMW (-5,42 %) (trapped in rigid cost structures) completely lack.

4th valuation: Almost a gift? 💎

With an estimated P/E ratio of approx. 4 the share is extremely cheap. Yes, the dividend has been canceled for 2026 - but this is the perfect entry point before the dividend hunters return in 2027/28.

Conclusion:

Stellantis acts like a software company: What is not profitable is cut. While the competition remains in "hope mode", Stellantis is building $STLAM (+3,13 %) an efficiency fortress. For me, this is a classic contrarian bet with enormous upside potential.

April was the month of the big recovery. After March was extremely affected by the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, optimism returned to the markets in April. The feared escalation failed to materialize, oil prices stabilized at a high level and investors took advantage of the lower prices to make a massive re-entry - especially in the tech sector, which catapulted the Nasdaq to new record highs.

My portfolio benefited from this positive sentiment, but lagged behind the massive rally of the benchmarks:

📊 Monthly performance: +6,59%

📊 Portfolio value: ~40.121 €

📊 Performance max (06.01.2022): +35,47%

📊 Performance YTD: ~+4,03%

Performance & comparison 🚀

The recovery in April was impressive, but almost felt "too fast". While the US markets were boosted by strong big tech figures, European stocks were stable but less dynamic. The ECB stuck to its cautious course, which dampened volatility somewhat.

Performance in comparison (01.04.-30.04.2026):

• My portfolio: +6.59 %

• NASDAQ 100: +16.50 %

• S&P 500: +9.50 %

• FTSE All-World: +8.74 %

• DAX: +6.88 %

Buying, selling & allocation 💶

No investments were made in April.

👉 After the high volatility in the previous month, I kept my feet still. The strategy continues to be "watch and hold".

Top movers in April 🟢

The list of winners in April is led by stocks that were still underperforming in March - a classic rebound.

The absolute frontrunner was $IREN (+5,88 %) with an increase of +31.02% (+€201.45), which benefited massively from the stabilization in the crypto-mining sector. This was closely followed by $6861 (-2,43 %) with +29.08% (+€156.56) - an impressive return to relative strength after the severe setback in March. Also $SIE (+1,69 %) was also able to shine with +22.78 % (+€153.07), as concerns about exploding energy costs in the industry have eased for the time being. American Lithium corrected the previous month's losses with a gain of +22.58 % (+€ 64.45), while $TEM (-0,84 %) with +21.08 % (+€ 16.21) and $2330 +16.32 % (€ +61.10) underpinned the strength in the semiconductor and AI segment.

Flop movers in April 🔴

Despite the generally positive sentiment, there were also stocks in April that didn't get off the ground or even fell.

The strongest correction $SNOW (-1,15 %) which continued the negative trend with -9.97% (-€69.87) - the market believes that there are probably opportunities for disruption through AI. Also $RHM (+2,89 %) also lost ground after the rally of recent months, shedding -6.14% (-€109.66) as profit-taking dominated the defense sector. $1211 (-1,76 %) fell again somewhat after the strong performance in March (-3.56%, -€58.01), and also $BRK.B (+0,16 %) was rather flat at -1.19% (-€37.58). Almost ironic: $RMS (+0,82 %) (+0.09 %) and the Xtrackers Overnight ETF (+0.15 %) ended up in the "flop" ranking, simply because they simply missed out on the double-digit rally of the overall market.

Conclusion 💡

April was a balm for the soul of every investor, even if my portfolio was unable to fully participate in the benchmark rally.

Used the breakout for a first tranche. Certainly one of the most exciting picks in the e-mobility sector📈

As every Sunday, the most important news from the past week, as well as the most important dates for the coming week.

Also as a video:

Monday:

The quarterly figures of the Chinese electric car company $1211 (-1,76 %) BYD (Build your Dreams) were disappointing. Profits slumped by 38% and turnover fell by 14%. The CEO also spoke of a brutal knock-out phase in the industry in China.

The inflation rate in Germany is already rising noticeably to 2.8% compared to the same month last year. Energy in particular has become significantly more expensive.

Wednesday:

Orders in the mechanical engineering sector fell significantly by 12% in February compared to the same month last year. Orders from Germany in particular fell by 16%. Orders from the eurozone, on the other hand, increased by 6%. The period under review was largely unaffected by the Iran war.

Friday:

The US economy is booming despite the Iran war. Three times more jobs were created than expected. As a result, the unemployment rate surprisingly fell to 4.3%. In addition, the majority of market participants no longer expect the Fed to cut interest rates.

Can you think of any other dates?

March was a very weak month on the markets. The Iran war kept global stock markets on tenterhooks - rising oil prices, accelerated inflation and a massive risk-off move across almost all asset classes. The DAX lost over 10%, the Nasdaq slipped into correction mode and even broadly diversified world ETFs fell significantly.

Despite the difficult environment, my portfolio remained comparatively stable and outperformed all major benchmarks:

📊 Monthly performance: -3,69%

📊 Portfolio value: ~38.367 €

📊 Performance
max. (06.01.2022): +24,98%

📊 Performance
YTD: -2,80%

Performance & comparison 🚀

March was characterized by a broad sell-off, triggered by the escalation in the Middle East, rising oil prices and the associated reassessment of inflation expectations. The ECB kept the deposit rate at 2.00%, but signaled increased uncertainty - rate cut fantasies are off the table for now.

Performance in comparison (01.03-31.03.2026):

My portfolio: -3,69%

NASDAQ 100: -6,70%

S&P 500: -3,88%

DAX: -10,27%

FTSE All-World: -5,42%

👉 The portfolio performed significantly better than all benchmark indices in an extremely weak market environment. Particularly striking: the DAX lost over 10% - driven by the direct impact of rising energy costs on European industrial stocks. The global diversification and focus on quality in the portfolio clearly paid off in this environment.

Purchases, sales & allocation 💶

No purchases or sales were made in March.

👉 In an environment of war, rising oil prices and increased volatility, the conscious decision not to carry out any transactions was part of the strategy.

The existing allocation reflects the conviction - panic selling or frantic buying in times of maximum uncertainty are not part of the approach. Cash is held ready for potential opportunities in the event of further weakness.

Top movers in March 🟢

Despite the weak overall market, individual positions showed significant strength.

The strongest performer was Cloudflare ($NET (+3,86 %)) with +22.68% and a gain of +€339.97 - the share benefited massively from the AI edge infrastructure fantasy and strong Q4 figures with 33.6% revenue growth. CEO Matthew Prince is positioning Cloudflare as a central platform for the "Agentic Internet", which is going down well with investors. Also BYD ($1211 (-1,76 %)) also impressed with +15.01% (+€212.72) and once again showed relative strength in the EV sector, followed by CrowdStrike ($CRWD (+3,12 %)) with +9.47% (+€108.12), which recovered significantly after the previous month's weak performance.

Datadog ($DDOG (-1,14 %)) gained +7.82% (+47.22€), while Bitcoin ($BTC (+2,83 %)) showed a moderate recovery with +4.00% (+€37.26). Mercado
Libre ($MELI (+3,25 %)) rounded off the list of winners with +1.95% (+€12.50) - also a rebound after the weak February with -17.33%.

Flop movers in March 🔴

The weaker side of the portfolio was broadly diversified across various sectors and reflected geopolitical pressure.

American
Lithium ($AMLI) corrected the most with -31.11% (-128.90€) - the commodity sector is under pressure from falling lithium spot prices and weak demand forecasts from China. Hermès Hermès ($RMS (+0,82 %)) also came under pressure at -18.09% (€-0.54) - although the position was only established in February as a quality stock, Luxury is currently suffering from the general risk-off sentiment.

Siemens ($SIE (+1,69 %)) lost -16.75% (-€135.26) - as an export-oriented industrial stock directly affected by rising energy costs and the uncertainty caused by the Middle East conflict. Keyence ($6861 (-2,43 %)) lost -16.43% (-€105.85) - a significant setback after the strong February rebound of +16.21%. IREN ($IREN (+5,88 %)) continued the negative trend with -14.54% (-110.45€), already the second weak month in a row after -24.10% in February. The VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF ($NLR (-1,32 %)) rounded off the list of losers with -13.46% (-150.21€).

👉 Striking:

The setback at Keyence and Hermès shows how quickly relative strength can be lost again in volatile markets. Fundamentally, however, nothing has changed for most positions - the corrections are primarily driven by sentiment and macro factors, not by operational weakness.

Conclusion 💡

March was a stress test for the entire portfolio, but the relative outperformance against all benchmarks confirms the strategic orientation:

➡️ No panic selling - maintain discipline in the allocation

➡️ Relative strength against NASDAQ 100 (-6.70%), S&P 500 (-3.88%), DAX (-10.27%) and FTSE All-World (-5.42%)

➡️ Individual stocks such as Cloudflare (+22.68%) and BYD (+15.01%) as stabilizers in the portfolio

The environment remains challenging:

The Iran conflict, rising oil prices and the associated inflation risks will continue to shape the markets in April. The ECB has raised its inflation forecast for 2026 to 2.60% - interest rate cuts are a distant prospect. The focus remains on qualityglobal diversification and patience. In phases of maximum uncertainty, the wheat is separated from the chaff.

Today I am analyzing the BYD share following the latest quarterly figures. The share has already risen +7.4% today - but the question is: is it still worth getting in now?

📉 Quarterly figures: BYD reports a fall in profits for the first time in four years:

- Net profit: 32.6 billion yuan (-19%)

- Turnover: 803.9 billion yuan (below expectations)

- Vehicle sales: +7.7% to 4.6 million units

➡️ Growth remains strong, profitability under pressure.

🌍 Growth driver International expansion is becoming massively more important:

- Over 1 million vehicles exported in 2025

- European sales +270% - exports higher than domestic sales for the first time

- Target for 2026: 1.3 million export vehicles

BYD is also investing heavily in technology: Blade Battery 2.0 (higher efficiency, no cobalt) and advances in autonomous driving

📊 Fundamental valuation:

- Share around 37% below fair value (~185 HKD)

- Sales, margins and profits continue to grow

- Regional distribution is moving towards 50:50 (currently 61:39)

Analysts expect strong growth in sales and margins in the coming years

📈 Chart analysis:

- Sideways phase between 92-105 HKD

- Breakout above 105 HKD → potential up to 130 HKD (+20%)

- The setup remains stable above HKD 82

- Below it becomes significantly weaker

⚠️ Conclusion: Despite weaker earnings, BYD continues to show strong growth and clear future prospects. The current valuation offers room for maneuver, while a technical breakout could serve as a possible starting signal for the next upward movement.

How do you see the $1211 (-1,76 %) ? Worth a chance for you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ymQCYp9V9c

Reading time: approx. 3 minutes

Hello dear gq community,

Today I would like to give you a closer look at developments in the electric car sector over the last few months.

This time it's not so much an in-depth evaluation of the BYD share $1211 (-1,76 %) than an introduction to the European electric car market and the company.

In the past, Chinese cars have been described as "clunkers" and "plastic bombers" with gaps wider than the phone book of German cities, and rightly so.

But the Chinese have one thing over the Europeans - they learn and they learn damn fast.

Today, the vehicles of the well-known Chinese manufacturers are flawless and of very high quality.

European car buyers are also noticing this more and more.

In Germany, buyers are becoming less and less skeptical. Whereas a year ago hardly any Germans could imagine buying a Chinese car, the latest surveys show that half of Germans could already imagine buying a Chinese car.

Why is this the case with BYD?

Like few others, the manufacturer has understood so quickly that Germans still want to go into a car dealership to inspect the vehicles, check the workmanship and feel the materials.

In the last 6 months, BYD has managed to persuade many renowned car dealerships to include BYD as a brand.

While other manufacturers only have a partner every few hundred kilometers, BYD currently has 190 service partners!

A year earlier there were just 26!

This shows how massively BYD has worked on its visibility and has been able to gain powerful partner companies in this short time.

The vehicles

BYD only launched its vehicles in Germany in 2022. It started with a smaller SUV with an unusual interior that reminded many of guitar strings and records, which was called the Atto 3. In addition, the Chinese offered a large SUV called Tang, which clearly wanted to push into the luxury sector, and a sedan, the Han, which scored points with equally fine materials. Some elements of the interior of this vehicle were particularly striking, looking very much like parts of the previous Mercedes C-Class. No wonder, as the Chinese had a collaboration with Mercedes.

Several other models were added later. Today, BYD offers every vehicle segment, from the Dolphin Surf subcompact to the sporty Sealion 7 crossover SUV.

Here too, few other manufacturers from the Far East are as well positioned as BYD.

The technology

BYD offers modern LFP batteries that offer low susceptibility to faults and a high level of safety. They also require no cobalt or nickel and are very durable.

The entry-level versions of the vehicles are already almost fully equipped. This is what German manufacturers dream of.

BYD offers many models either as fully electric vehicles or, for skeptics of e-mobility, as hybrids with ranges of over 1000 kilometers.

In short, BYD fully caters to the needs of German customers.

The design as well as the interior and chassis layout are geared towards German requirements.

Is that enough of a positive argument for the company?

Not by a long shot!

BYD not only builds good and inexpensive cars, but also commercial vehicles. We've had a large number of buses in our local public transport system for years now and they're humming quietly and emission-free through the cities.

BYD is also one of the largest battery and energy storage manufacturers.

Another line of business is the SkyRail rail system, which we don't have on our radar when we hear the name BYD.

Attention! The electronics division with contract manufacturing for well-known companies such as Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi is housed in a separate company with its own shares.

BUT the parent company holds over 65% of the shares, which also means that cash flows into the parent company.

The last branch of BYD is the production of solar systems.

BYD is not just a car manufacturer, but a huge corporation that is now becoming visible in Germany with its vehicles.

Since the beginning of the year, the share has been able to offer a remarkable upward trend of over 29% despite the adverse circumstances surrounding wars, inflation and trade disputes.

With a P/E ratio of over 20, the share is no longer really cheap if one were to view the company as a pure car manufacturer, but BYD should not be viewed as a pure car manufacturer. For this reason, a lot is already priced into the current price, but I think there is still plenty of room for upside.

The Hare himself is invested in BYD and remains convinced.

I hope you enjoyed this brief overview of this, in my opinion, very interesting company.

A small find from the weekend in the $LIT (-2,59 %)

The charts and also the RSIs look juicy at the moment, exactly how you want to see it. The weekly RSI has turned upwards again for the first time after 4 years of correction, and quite strongly at that. After the next retest of the averages, things could get really interesting.

The composition of the stocks in the $LIT (-2,59 %) is absolutely wild.

$RIO (-1,7 %) , $ALB (-4,85 %) , $0L2T (+0,56 %) , $3750 (+1,31 %) , $TSLA (-0,39 %) , $1211 (-1,76 %) ....that always reminds me of the legendary DSF indoor tournaments with Ailton and co. The ETF could also be called Budenzauber.

Otherwise, charts from $ALB (-4,85 %) look similar. Nice breakout above the moving averages and could become interesting after the next correction.

Does anyone else happen to be watching these stocks?

$1211 (-1,76 %) Does anyone know why it is starting today?
