Nabaltec

With $NTG (-1,81 %) and added a little more risk to the portfolio. My only single German stock.

As already mentioned, one of my investment targets is to own 0.1 percent of the chemical mid-cap company $NTG (-1,81 %) company. It is not without risk, as the economic situation of chemical companies is still not rosy, especially in Germany.

But I have confidence that the management of $NTG (-1,81 %) will set the right course.

And therefore: the position will be further expanded.

$NTG (-1,81 %) reports solid figures in what remains a highly challenging market environment. I like the management's conservative outlook.

Saying of the day: "Schwandorfer samma, lou ma uns nix g'falln, draafhaua damma, bis d'd'Schädel owafalln."

After I shuffled and cleaned out my PF a bit in the last few months, the proportion of $NVDA (+2,01 %) has grown to 80 percent. Of course, this also has to do with the immense price gains compared to the other positions.

In order to increase diversification and reduce the relative share of Nvidia, I will be adding two new positions: $V (-0,14 %) and $KO (-0,4 %) . I continue to see high long-term potential for both stocks. I am also starting to look at stocks with dividend yields - after all, you don't get any younger.

The newcomers' positions are to be built up gradually over the next three to five years, while I continue to accumulate in the MSCI World, $NTG (-1,81 %) and $PLTR (+6,35 %) . $NVDA (+2,01 %) I won't be buying any more, the position is already "too big" (if you can even speak of "too big" for Nvidia).

The mission continues. $NTG (-1,81 %) will be bought up to the target share of 0.1 percent in the company.

Okay, that will still take a while ... but I'm supposed to set goals.

Strengthening the homeland: I bought more today at $NTG (-1,81 %) today. Business figures for Q2 and outlook look good, I believe in these guys!

$NTG (-1,81 %) My favorite stock, which is little loved by the stock market. At first I wanted to put another 8K that was still lying around from yesterday into $NVDA (+2,01 %) but then decided to buy 610 shares of Nabaltec so that it's now a round number with 2000 shares ...

Honestly: I can do strategy!

Purchases no. 9 to 13 in the donation depot:

Thanks to Hensoldt in South Africa, Schott in Switzerland and Fraunhofer IOF in Jena, a few expenses were added to the account in January, which were divided up as follows:

10 × $LTAM (+0,6 %)

5 × $HYUD (+0 %)

5 × $MUX (-2,14 %)

10 × $GSC1 (-0,56 %)

10 × $NTG (-1,81 %)

Cheers from Groningen🇳🇱🍻

Nabaltec - industry value of the last row

A brief introduction 🏭

We've all been there:

You go to the supermarket and buy dozens of foods wrapped in foil. However, hardly anyone thinks about whether the film is coated. Because that's exactly what it is with food.

Cable insulation is flame retardant. Thank goodness, otherwise the child would have tried to set fire to the new home again.

Fire resistance, ceramic filters and a supplier for microelectronics can be found in this medium-sized company. Although it is debatable whether a company with a value of ~€150 million can still be called a medium-sized company, the technology behind Nabaltec's products does hold some potential for the future.

Nabaltec $NTG (-1,81 %) is a producer of fillers for the plastics industry and a producer of technical ceramic applications in almost all sectors. It is owned by the Witzany and Heckmann families, who are still the company's largest shareholders.

The company operates just 3 production sites worldwide. One of them in Schwandorf, Bavaria, and two others in the USA. By centralizing its own sales in the EU, North America and China, the company is present on the most important international markets.

A major aspect that reflects the future potential of the company is the basic need for safety, as well as increasing international regulations for fire protection and occupational safety.

Portfolio

Aluminum hydroxides under the Apyral brand are in demand internationally as fire retardants in plastics. The basic idea here is strongly anchored in personal and environmental protection.

However, the boehmite applications of the Apyral-AOH brand in particular are the company's growth driver.

Why? Many critics of increasing electrification argue that there is a lack of fire protection, which is supposedly inadequate according to current guidelines and therefore jeopardizes general safety. Many manufacturers in the electronics sector can reduce these risks structurally, but also offer additional protection through coated printed circuit boards. Increasing electrification and digitalization, which is inevitable, will reinforce this feeling of general safety. In addition, safety regulations are regularly adapted and could therefore also become relevant to insurance for domestic use in the future.

The company is recording double-digit growth rates in this area.

Future prospects

Although the company is a German producer and is also based in Germany for tax purposes, the European economic area is the largest market. The domestic German market follows with a sales share of only around 25%. The company is organized in various important associations and therefore has a considerable market influence in relation to its own size. The main driver is the USA. Here in particular, the guidelines for fire and occupational safety have become much stricter in recent years, meaning that this is where the market will have the greatest potential to catch up in the future.

In addition, despite high energy prices, the company is still in a profitable growth phase, is investing in the double-digit capex range to ensure future security and also has stable liquid funds.

A small dividend is also distributed annually.

Do you also invest in companies in the early company phase? Small companies usually have a higher growth rate than large corporations, especially niche companies. Investing at an early stage can pay off significantly over decades.
