We scanned, analyzed and filtered for our readers - this is the result of the passionate research of our colleagues: Our very personal favorites for 2022. By Stephan Bauer, Euro am Sonntag
Please take it easy everyone! Our photographer Wolfgang ensures that our colleagues are cheerful. Her smile should also be visible behind the obligatory mask. The mood is good, and at the same time everyone's outfit makes it clear at the photo shoot for our tips for the year: the €uro editorial team is still dealing with the pandemic almost two years after the outbreak of the virus. How could it be otherwise, because the same applies to stock exchanges and markets.
There are masks and vaccinations for health. When it comes to investing, a passion for the capital markets helps. The turbulent times were an incentive for us to invest a lot of passion in the selection of our personal tips for 2022.
Many examples from the past year show that the recommendations of the €uro am Sonntag editors are worthwhile. The 136 percent gain in the share price of the biofuel manufacturer Verbio, which benefited from the great interest of stock market traders in green energies and the sharp rise in oil prices, was outstanding. The timing was right here, as it was with a blue chip from the tech universe: Alphabet had performed below average in 2020, and so far in the current year there has been an increase of over 85 percent. Investors who focus on funds or ETFs were also well served, as shown by the almost 44 percent gain of the ETF on the leading Austrian index ATX or the 34 percent increase in the climate protection fund Nordea Global Climate.
Everything for your capital!
€uro readers know more: what moves the markets, which investment ideas promise success and how you can save real money.

AGCO strong agricultural technology
There are a few factors that (not only) speak in favor of an investment in agricultural technology in 2022: Rising raw material prices mean that farmers can earn well, investments that have been postponed in recent years also catch up. Modern digital technology helps to save fertilizer and pesticides, climate protection and nature conservation can be better fulfilled with modern, economical machines. The US company AGCO is the technology leader with its German brand Fendt, and is gaining further market share with the brands Massey Ferguson and Valtra. In addition, AGCO is still very cheaply valued given its growth in sales and earnings.

Boss Martina Merz has a hot job: She wants to turn the industrial conglomerate with a steel core into a focused company. With the billions in proceeds from the sale of the elevator division, Merz has rehabilitated the balance sheet, and now the boss is trimming the roller bearings, automotive components and material trading for efficiency. The mega trend spin-offs brings energy to the share: In the spring, the hydrogen joint venture Uhde Chlorine Engineers is to go public. The steel division could follow as a spin-off in 2023.

M & G (LUX) GLOBAL THEMES FUND One fund - four trends
Investors with a long-term perspective can remain calm in the face of price fluctuations. Especially when they invest in topics that have a decisive and lasting impact on national economies, societies and markets. Alex Araujo, fund manager of the M & G Global Themes Fund, has identified four trends: Demographics, Environment, Infrastructure and Innovation. Araujo looks for promising companies for each trend. Examples of demographic players include financial institutions such as Erste Group Bank and fitness watch manufacturer Garmin. The Chinese company Tencent stands for innovation. The Australian group Transurban is an example of the opportunities in the field of infrastructure. Siemens Energy, in turn, contributes to the achievement of climate targets. The fund increased by 26 percent within a year.ISIN: LU 167 062 849 1 Stop: -

ATOSS SOFTWARE Record year thanks to the cloud
With more than 30 years of experience on the clock the personnel software group Atoss continues to grow. Thanks to strong growth in the cloud business, the Munich company is currently on the way to the 16th record year in a row. Irrespective of the Corona crisis, experts are expecting record sales of 95.8 million euros in 2021. Analysts are expecting sales of over 109 million euros for next year. The company describes the demand for software-based personnel management solutions as persistently high and the order situation as excellent. The growth prospects in the market for personnel management are very attractive. With an estimated PER of over 82 for 2021, Atoss is no longer cheap, but is well positioned for further growth with its strong cloud business.ISIN: DE 000 510 440 0 stop: -

XTRACKERS ATX ETFIstill cheap
The Vienna Stock Exchange was discovered by investors in 2021 after a weak previous year and staged a great rally. In terms of performance, the leading Austrian index ATX was one of the top indices in Europe. It performed far better than the DAX. Despite the boom, the barometer is still extremely cheap in a European comparison with a price-earnings ratio of almost eleven and a price-to-book ratio of around 1.3 for 2022. Banks, insurance companies and energy companies have a high weighting in the benchmark. They will benefit if inflation remains high in 2022. Therefore, the prospects for the ATX remain positive.

AMAZON continues to grow
The world's largest online retailer is not only with business areas like the prime streaming services on a rapid growth course. The tech group founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 is also setting new standards with its IT expertise. Through its subsidiary Amazon Web Services (AWS), it is the world's largest cloud service provider. The cloud business was built by Andrew Jassy, who replaced Bezos at the top of the group in July. Jassy missed the high market expectations right from the start. Nevertheless, the group has the potential to do well in 2022 as well. The bar is set very high,this also harbors the risk of disappointment. But the direction is right.

AMUNDI MSCI WORLD SRI ETFWith Tesla, without Apple
With an MSCI World ETF, investors can invest in around 1560 stocks from 23 industrialized countries. Amundi's sustainable MSCI World SRI ETF only has around 380 stocks, but that's easily enough for a broadly diversified portfolio. Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft and Home Depot are currently the largest individual stocks in the Amundi ETF. Due to the SRI approach, I avoid mega caps such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta and Nestlé because they are not sustainable enough - but I hope for better performance this way.

TERADYNE Check what's worth
The shares of the US technology group Teradyne currently only know one way: up. The stock recently hit a new all-time high and has momentum on its side. Is the stock overbought? Perhaps. But demand for the North Reading, Massachusetts-based company's products will continue to grow. Teradyne manufactures test systems for the promising semiconductor and robotics industries. The share could be fueled next year by the current lack of chips. The manufacturers are now building up new capacities - and need new test systems.

AMUNDI S & P GLOBAL LUXURY ETF Luxury is legendary
The profits of luxury goods groups such as Hermès, LVMH and Kering have been bubbling up for years, and their share prices have developed brilliantly. And that shouldn't change fundamentally. On the one hand, rare and expensive goods are in great demand in times of global asset price inflation, on the other hand, the affluent and status-oriented middle class is growing, especially in Asia. If you want to get involved in the luxury sector on a broad basis, drive with the Amundi S & P Global Luxury ETF, which invests in the top 80 stocks in the industry.

In February, company boss Jens Gerhardt said to this newspaper that he considered his share price to be extremely attractive. In fact, it rose to EUR 6.45, but it is currently bobbing, with little ripple, at a similar level as in our interview. So is the captain wrong? I think he and I just have to be patient.

COHU INC. Test verdict: Attractive
The Americans supply test and inspection equipment to the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, including sorting machines for electronic components, with which faulty microchips can be sorted out at an early stage. Cohu is benefiting from a persistently high demand for semiconductors, after all they are being built into more and more devices, from games consoles to cars. Capacities are now being created for this need, which should make the cash register ring.The customer structure is widely spread, test systems from Cohu go to industry heavyweights such as Qualcomm and Intel, among others. In addition, there is the attractive valuation: With a 2022 P/E ratio of around eleven, the share of the technology company is favorably valued compared to the industry and offers a lot of potential for price gains.

In the "Second Love" area, a total of 9.7 million active customers will find resold clothing, which is considered to be resource-saving.

APPLE Three trillion dollars
50,000 percent - that's how much the Apple share price has risen since summer 2001. And even now the paper rushes from high to high. Over the course of the year, the stock market value of the tech giant increased by around a quarter to $2.7 trillion: Apple is the first company in the world to break the three trillion dollar mark in market capitalization. The first and second quarters of the new fiscal year could falter a bit due to chip and material shortages, but that shouldn't detract too much from the paper. On the contrary: Falling prices should be used as an entry point. ISIN: US 037 833 100 5 Stop: Tip 2021: Puma Performance*: +19.5% DAX inclusion and a solid plus. Buy.

IBIDEN Coveted basic product
The world needs semiconductors. But many manufacturers cannot deliver: They lack substrates that connect the chip to the circuit board. These products are essential but unglamorous, the margins are relatively narrow. Therefore, for a long time it was unattractive for substrate producers to expand capacities. That is changing, but experts estimate that demand will be higher than supply until at least 2023. In their emergency orders, chip giants buy up complete production quantities and even pay more - much to the delight of Ibiden from Japan, for example. The brave dare to place a bet.ISIN: JP 314 880 000 0 Stop: -Tip 2021: Taiwan SemiconductorPerformance*: +26.8%The chip contract manufacturer can push through higher prices, the share remains promising.

The biotech company is punished on the stock exchange. The expensive takeover of Constellation Pharmaceuticals and the marketing of the cancer drug Monjuvi, which has so far been rather disappointing, has hit investors hard. The share has lost two-thirds of its value over the year. There are some indications of an exaggeration. So the market value is now below the price that was paid for Constellation. There are some catalysts in 2022. This is how Monjuvi sales could pick up. And in view of the current valuation, a takeover is also conceivable.

TEAMVIEWER Get in after a slump
After the first wave of corona, the share was slowed down. Expensive marketing deals combined with a software company's downgraded earnings forecast caused the note to nearly quintup from the high. I think that was an exaggeration. The company is in better shape than expected when it went public in 2019. If operational development continues as planned,the stock will make up some of the losses. The low price could also attract company buyers.ISIN: DE 000 A2Y N90 0 Stop: €6.90 Tip 2021: Schweizer ElectronicPerformance*: -15.7% The circuit board manufacturer's shares were unable to maintain the initial price gains.

The note will rise by a fifth if the DAX remains above the 12,800 threshold by December 16, 2022. This has not been touched since November 2020 and is secured by a number of supports.

The business figures were below expectations, also because Ebay, as the former parent company, is increasingly separating itself from Paypal. However, the basic story is still valid: the more money consumers spend on the Internet, the more payment services such as Paypal will grow. In terms of the chart, the share has only reduced an exaggeration, the long-term upward trend remains intact. Paypal is currently missing a positive turnaround signal.

A year ago I recommended Orsted - and warned that the stock was highly valued. Analysts still see potential upside. Why not? The order books of the Danish world market leader in offshore wind farms were full, and the trend towards renewable energy was unbroken. Unfortunately, the expansion of wind power also depends on political decisions: in some years things are running smoothly, in others, like 2021, rather slowly.

Novavax's Covid-19 vaccine has the potential to convince vaccine skeptics. Unlike the substances currently approved in the EU, it does not work on the basis of RNA, but of proteins. If there had been fewer delays, the US company would already be playing in the premier league of suppliers.

The takeover of the seed group Monsanto five years ago still hangs like a yoke around the neck of the pharmaceutical and agrochemical group, which is currently around 70 percent below the all-time high. The product pipeline and growth prospects are good in the medium term. Bayer's recent success in a glyphosate lawsuit in the USA could persuade around 20,000 previous objectors to a settlement to agree to it after all.

Burnout is common, and employees also complain about a lack of support. Because most of them have saved up a lot and can always find a well-paying job, they are more likely to take longer sabbaticals. That drives salaries.

As advertisers catch up with this trend, Roku's share of important advertising revenue is steadily increasing. The number of users is also increasing.
