Helium Stocks - Crucial Applications For Tech, Medical And Defense Sectors

Dec 11, 2024 (MENAFN via COMTEX) --

(MENAFN - Investor Ideas) Investorideas, a go-to investing platform, issues a report on helium stocks and the supply and demand for the gas, featuring New Era Helium Inc. (NASDAQ: NEHC ), an exploration and production company sourcing helium produced in association with the production of natural gas reserves within the Permian Basin.

Stock mentioned in this article include Roth CH Acquisition V. Co. (Nasdaq: ROCL ), Air Products and Chemicals (NYSE:APD ), ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) and Reliance Industries' (REL).According to Maximize Market , "The global helium market is experiencing significant growth, driven by its essential applications across various industries. According to Maximize Market Research, the market is projected to reach US $27.06 billion by 2030, up from US $15.48 billion in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% during the forecast period."Continued from the research: "Helium's inert properties make it indispensable in semiconductor manufacturing and fiber optic cable production, ensuring high-quality outputs.""Liquid helium is also crucial for cooling magnets in MRI machines, facilitating advanced medical diagnostics.""In Aerospace and Defense, Helium is used in pressurizing and purging systems, welding applications, and as a coolant in space operations, underscoring its versatility."With multiple high value applications, demand is expected to almost double by 2035, according to IDTechEx and supplies are running low. Players in the sector see a big opportunity in this gas. New Era Helium Inc. (NASDAQ: NEHC ), just announced its listing on the <a href='http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/ND/M'>NASDAQ</a> as the result of closing its previously announced business combination with Roth CH V Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roth CH Acquisition V. Co. (Nasdaq: ROCL ; ROCLU and ROCLW).Paid news dissemination for New Era HeliumThe transaction was approved by ROCL's stockholders on November 26, 2024.From the news : The trading of the Company's shares on Nasdaq represents a pivotal milestone in New Era Helium's mission to establish itself as a leading consolidator of helium and <a href='http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/NG_/M'>natural gas</a> production. With over 137,000 acres in Southeast New Mexico and 1.5 billion cubic feet of proved and probable helium reserves, NEH is well-positioned to drive growth in this critical sector, expected to see a surge in demand amid growth in data centers powering artificial intelligence.Continued from the news: In an announcement last month, NEH announced a non-binding joint venture with Sharon AI, Inc. ("Sharon AI") to build a 90MW net-zero Tier 3 data center to be located within the Permian Basin. This joint venture combines Sharon AI's expertise in high-performance computing with NEH's extensive helium and <a href='http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/NG_/M'>natural gas</a> reserves. The state-of-the-art facility will feature a liquid-cooled Tier 3 data center powered by sustainable energy, offsetting approximately 250,000 metric tons of CO2 annually through carbon capture technology.E. Will Gray II, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New Era Helium (NEHC), said: "Our Nasdaq listing marks a significant moment in our corporate journey, enhancing our public profile within the industry, and broadening our reach to institutional investors in the AI datacenter, and Helium markets. Thank you to all of our shareholders and partners whose unwavering support has been instrumental in driving our ongoing success."Reuters recently reported that "Reliance Industries' (REL) U.S. unit has bought a 21% stake in U.S.-based helium production company Wavetech Helium for $12 million, the conglomerate said on Thursday, in a move aimed at expanding its low-carbon energy segment."The stock purchase agreement closed November 27, 2024.According to Wavetech Helium's website , they control Helium gas reserves (including proven) and resources in E-SE Colorado / W Kansas and NW Montana, two of the premier Helium fairways in the world.From the website: "This inert gas is used across many high-tech, science, medicine, defense, and manufacturing industries. Over the last 20 years, Helium's demand growth and decline in supply forced pricing to over $300+/mcf, about one hundred times current U.S. <a href='http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/NG_/M'>natural gas</a> pricing. Drilling for Helium is nearly identical to <a href='http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/NG_/M'>natural gas</a> extraction, allowing for transferring knowledge and technology from the fossil fuels sector to find and extract Helium."One of the key players in helium, Air Products and Chemicals (NYSE:APD ) offers helium in its gas product portfolio. With $12.1 billion dollars in sales and a strong existing base business delivering double-digit EPS growth since 2014, Air Products is the number one hydrogen supplier in the world.Air Products says it is a "Pioneer of many of the helium extraction, production, distribution, and storage technologies still in use today."Talking about their market and applications they say , "The extremely low temperature of liquid helium is used to maintain the superconducting properties of magnets in applications such as Magnetic Resonance Imagery (MRI), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particle physics research. Gaseous helium is used as an inert shielding gas in metal arc and laser welding. It is also used as a coolant to transfer heat effectively, thanks to its high thermal conductivity in the fibre optics and electronics industries. It serves as a carrier gas for gas chromatography (GC) in analytical laboratories and as a leak detection gas in a wide range of industries. Being both lighter than air and non-flammable, helium is used to inflate both balloons and airships."According to Cowboystatedaily "One of the largest producers of helium in the world comes from the ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) plant in LaBarge. Now the facility, which provides 20% of the world's supply, is set to expand and could double its workforce in the next year."Continued from the article: "Wyoming is at the center of this commodity play for helium, just like it is already with bentonite, thermal coal, rare earths, trona, uranium and other strategic minerals.One of the largest producers of helium in the U.S. comes from Wyoming, with ExxonMobil's backing, as well as Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma.Other major global players include energy-rich Qatar, a peninsular Arab country, and the North African country of Algeria, according to a report prepared by geologist Kelsey Kehoe of the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) in December.Over the past 38 years, Wyoming has seen considerable interest by ExxonMobil in Wyoming, and it's only going to grow." With helium being a non-renewable resource with limited supplies, the demand based on numerous applications makes this a sector to watch. The new helium stock in town, New Era Helium Inc. (NASDAQ: NEHC) said in its press release "NEH believes the Nasdaq listing will enhance its visibility and attract U.S. investors interested in energy infrastructure and sustainable innovation, further underscoring the value of its assets and forward-looking projects."Research <a href='http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/NG_/M'>natural gas</a> and helium stocks at Investorideas About Investorideas - Big Investing Ideas Investorideas is the go-to platform for big investing ideas.
