The Next Big Thing: Quantum Computing! New Opportunities in Aqarios Quantum Technologies, D-Wave and IonQ?

• Quantum
• computing
• data
• Technology

The stock market loves the prospect of the next technological leap. Is quantum computing next in line? Quantum computers use the principles of quantum physics to solve certain highly complex tasks more efficiently than classical computers. The technology could dramatically transform industrial processes in medicine, energy, materials research, logistics and cybersecurity. Recently, Aqarios Quantum Technologies became the first pure-play quantum computing company to make its debut on the German stock exchange. The Munich-based company develops software for complex planning tasks and combines classical computing methods with quantum algorithms. Its latest move into the IBM ecosystem is drawing attention. The company also collaborates with numerous German blue-chip firms. IonQ has raised its revenue forecast following an acquisition, while D-Wave is benefiting from US government support. Although their business models differ, they share the common goal of turning quantum research into a scalable business. Which company will perform best in the coming months?

The stock market trades on expectations. Between now and the end of the year, three companies across different market segments have upcoming milestones that could reset expectations. Artificial intelligence has significantly fueled demand for memory chips. The quarterly results on September 30 will show how much of that demand is here to stay. A gold explorer is set to release its first mineral resource estimate, revealing how much of the precious metal lies underground. As of January 1, the Pentagon's procurement rules for magnets will become stricter, which could benefit manufacturers with supply chains outside China. We are therefore taking a closer look at Micron Technology, Kobo Resources and MP Materials.

• Energy
• chemicals

Evonik is at the centre of a billion-euro takeover bid that the target has rejected, leaving some investors wondering what comes next. Could a higher offer still emerge? Meanwhile, an industrial company that fought its way out of a deep crisis and saw its share price multiply is now facing renewed pressure. Can the tide turn once more? And then there is a relatively overlooked niche player offering high dividend yields. This is the mix of three companies featured in our latest article. We look at Siemens Energy's comeback after the dark years of the crisis and assess its outlook. We examine the background to BASF's rejected takeover approach for Evonik. Finally, we take a closer look at RE Royalties, which has paid out substantial dividends in the past and is approaching important technical chart levels. Read on as we examine the latest developments at all three companies and the opportunities and risks shaping their stories.

• Drones
• Defense
• geopolitics

On the stock market, a news item's value is not determined by its headline, but by whether it ultimately translates into sustainable revenue and earnings growth. Three very different business models are therefore facing critical phases over the coming quarters. One industrial company must stabilize margins and investor confidence, a drone specialist needs to scale its order book, and an online retailer must convert growth into profits. The following company updates show where opportunities lie, and which risks the market may already be pricing in.

Copper Rally Nears Record Highs: What Production Shortfalls at Freeport-McMoRan and Ivanhoe Mines Mean for Explorers Like Power Metallic

• PGMs
• Copper
• Commodities

The world relies on copper to keep running. Whether it is artificial intelligence, massive data centres, or military equipment, demand is rising across key sectors. According to a recent study by S&P Global, the market is heading toward an annual deficit of 10 million metric tons by 2040. While commodity exchange prices are hitting new record highs and US tariff threats are depleting physical inventories, supply chains are revealing fundamental weaknesses. A strategic realignment of the mining industry seems inevitable. We examine the current situation and key players.

Cummins, dynaCERT, Volvo: The Race for the Cleanest Fleet

• Hydrogen
• cleantech
• decarbonization
• Diesel
• Retrofitting
• Trucks

Heavy-duty trucking is facing a transformation worth billions. Freight carriers, ports and industrial conglomerates must reduce emissions, yet every cent spent on fuel affects profitability. But millions of diesel engines cannot be replaced overnight. That is why the race for the cleanest fleet has long been playing out on multiple fronts. Electric trucks are making inroads on suitable routes, engine manufacturers are squeezing more efficiency out of internal combustion engines, and retrofit technologies are designed to make existing fleets cleaner. The key factor will be which solution not only reduces emissions on paper but also makes economic sense for fleet operators.

The Heart of the European Battery: How BASF, IBU-tec and HPQ Silicon Are Revolutionizing the Battery

• Silicon
• Batteries
• FumedSilica

The future of the European automotive industry will not be decided on the assembly line, but in the chemistry lab. Until now, battery cells—the heart of modern electric vehicles—have come almost exclusively from Asia. This dependency is dangerous, and politicians have warned about it for years: Europe urgently needs its own self-contained battery value chain. But to achieve this independence, it is not enough to simply build massive factories ("gigafactories") on greenfield sites. The real key lies in the molecular components: the cathode (the positive terminal) and the anode (the negative terminal). Three companies are demonstrating how this European supply chain can become a reality: DAX giant BASF is focusing on high-end chemicals for the premium range, while the mid-sized company IBU-tec, with its new mega-factory in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, is poised to become the European LFP cathode leader for the mass market. At the other end of the battery spectrum, the Canadian-French technology firm HPQ Silicon is using innovative silicon anodes to ensure future energy storage systems will be dramatically more powerful. This technological pincer movement could free the continent from Asia's stranglehold. Read on to find out what this means for investors.

Information is becoming increasingly valuable in the capital markets. Investors must filter out the key signals from a flood of share prices, corporate announcements and geopolitical developments. At the same time, artificial intelligence is transforming the way information is processed and monetized. This is particularly evident in the commodities sector. Billions are flowing into gold, critical metals and new mining projects. Anyone who can reach investors, access exclusive data, or mobilize capital for attractive projects sits at a crucial intersection of this boom.

The price of gold keeps hitting new record highs, yet a state of emergency continues to prevail in key mining regions such as West Africa. While the precious metal promises high margins on the global market, established mining companies in Mali increasingly face government crackdowns. Although these developments are not halting day-to-day operations, they do require strong negotiating skills from the major producers. It is precisely in this operational environment that agile Africa experts are positioning themselves with smart strategies. We shine a spotlight on Barrick, B2Gold and Desert Gold.

China imported more than 1,000 metric tons of gold from January through August. That is more than in all of 2025, according to the latest Chinese customs data. The central bank in Beijing has also been increasing its gold reserves for 22 consecutive months. Demand from the Far East is particularly beneficial for the major producers. Explorers are looking for tomorrow's supplies in the northeast of the DRC, for example, where Kibali, one of Africa's largest gold mines, operates. Companies that want to grow need their own projects in the pipeline. Today, we are looking at three gold companies: Newmont, DRC Gold and Agnico Eagle.

Missed DroneShield's 500% Rally? The Next Drone Revolution Is Coming – First Hydrogen Set for a Revaluation!

• Defense
• hightech
• UGV
• Robotics

Are we on the verge of the next drone revolution? Last year, investors were able to earn more than 500% at times with stocks like DroneShield. Now, unmanned systems are increasingly taking over the ground as well. The war in Ukraine shows just how quickly UGVs are evolving from logistical aids into offensive weapon systems. The market potential is enormous. On the stock market, the ground drone revolution has so far been treated as little more than a standalone theme. This is likely to change soon and drive up First Hydrogen's shares. After securing exclusive global patent rights in 2026 for the further development and commercialization of a patented AI-powered UGV platform, the company recently unveiled its first model. With a current market capitalization of just around EUR 22 million, it may only be a matter of time before the stock undergoes a major revaluation.

A sensational development is looming in the German chemical industry. BASF is considering acquiring speciality chemicals company Evonik. The Ludwigshafen-based company would thereby significantly expand its speciality chemicals business. Evonik has reacted cautiously. Analysts have responded positively. But some question marks remain. A small but strategically interesting acquisition is in the works in the gold sector. Lahontan Gold plans to acquire Emergent Metals outright, expanding its position in Nevada's Walker Lane gold district. Is this a move to prepare for a US IPO? Most recently, Lahontan increased its resource estimate and reaffirmed its goal of building a mine next year. And what about Rheinmetall? Its stock has fallen below EUR 1,000 again. The company is working to address its "dependence on the Bundeswehr" and its "old and heavy military equipment."
