Active Ingredients, Acquisitions and Spin-offs: Will Bayer, Novo Nordisk, BioNxt, or Evotec Become Top M&A Targets?
After years of consolidation, investors are asking: Will things start looking up again? The global life sciences sector is facing another massive wave of consolidation in 2026 as established pharmaceutical giants and agile biotech pioneers realign their businesses. Market dynamics remain high, but unfortunately, both sides are being exploited. So far, it has been predominantly speculative investors who are capitalizing on the current volatility. Following drastic share price losses and ongoing restructuring, the struggling Hamburg-based biotech company Evotec is increasingly in the crosshairs of financially strong acquirers seeking to acquire high-calibre drug discovery platforms at a bargain price. At the same time, BioNxt is attracting investor interest with its groundbreaking drug delivery systems and advanced clinical pipelines. Meanwhile, the market continues to speculate feverishly about a possible breakup or spin-off of individual divisions at the DAX-listed Bayer Group, which would massively increase its appeal to strategic buyers. On the other hand, Danish industry leader Novo Nordisk, driven by the sustained billion-dollar profits from its weight-loss portfolio, is acting as a financially powerful hunter in search of strategic acquisitions in the obesity and cardiovascular segments. For investors, this highly dynamic environment offers a rare opportunity to bet early on the year's hottest takeover candidates. What is the current status?

Battery Metals Bottleneck: Volkswagen and BHP Under Pressure as Power Metallic Mines Faces Weeks of Truth
Electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly common sight on German roads, driven in part by the arrival of aggressively priced models from China. However, the rapid growth of electric mobility is placing mounting pressure on automotive supply chains. Automakers are grappling with volatile markets while becoming increasingly concerned about securing reliable access to critical raw materials. Commodities are no longer viewed as readily available inputs but as strategic assets essential to industrial competitiveness. This complex situation calls for new alliances: mining companies, major automakers, and dynamic project developers are pulling out all the stops to secure raw materials for the future.

Billion-Dollar Markets of Obesity, Oncology, and Neurology in Focus: Novo Nordisk, Vidac Pharma, and AbbVie
The healthcare industry of the future is driven by three major megatrends: obesity, oncology, and neurology. While the market for cancer drugs is heading toward nearly USD 700 billion and Alzheimer's therapies are booming, the GLP-1 boom has only just begun and has replaced oncology as the largest driver of pipeline value. But not every company will benefit equally from this momentum. The key difference lies in strategic focus and the ability to translate scientific milestones into market success. We take a look at three companies today—Novo Nordisk, Vidac Pharma, and AbbVie—each of which embodies one of these areas.

Deutz, Jungheinrich, and Almonty: Where Investors Can Find Real Opportunities in the Market Right Now
The European industrial landscape is currently noticeably fragmented, which presents investors with difficult decisions about which stocks will perform well and which will perform poorly. While it has never been easy to make the right choice, as established, long-standing German corporations grapple with rising material costs, intense price pressure, and, in some cases, the aftermath of internal conflicts, interest is increasingly shifting toward companies in strategic niche markets, including the commodities and defense sectors. The stocks of Deutz and Jungheinrich reflect the current challenges facing the broader mechanical engineering sector, which is suffering from noticeable margin pressure despite solid order intake. Defense, however, is a buzzword that could boost the performance of one or two stocks in that sector—if handled skillfully. At the same time, the spotlight is on commodity stocks that are benefiting from global geopolitical upheavals. Almonty Industries, in particular, is drawing attention due to an exciting consolidation pattern on the charts. Can this tungsten heavyweight soon regain its former strength? This report examines the current situation of the three stocks and highlights where real opportunities might now be emerging!

Helsing IPO in 2027? Hensoldt Expands Drone Partnership as First Hydrogen Eyes Robotics Re-Rating
Could Helsing go public as early as next year? The defence technology company is currently valued at a whopping USD 18 billion. To justify that valuation, Helsing is developing, among other things, the CA-1 Europa autonomous combat aircraft. Hensoldt is supporting this effort, and the partnership was recently expanded. Meanwhile, First Hydrogen is broadening its business model. CEO Balraj Mann increasingly views autonomous systems as a key technology in light of changes in the defence, security, and disaster response sectors. By building in-house AI expertise, the company aims to further develop its UGV program for autonomous navigation, situational awareness, and counter-drone capabilities, while simultaneously expanding its strategy at the intersection of clean energy, mobility, and robotics. If successful, these initiatives could provide the catalyst for a re-rating of the company's shares.

New Buy Recommendations for Evonik, Fuchs, and Zefiro Methane: Analysts See Price Potential of Over 240%
Fresh Buy recommendations are fueling new price momentum for Zefiro Methane, Evonik, and Fuchs. The outlook for Zefiro is particularly spectacular. Following the turnaround in its operating performance, GBC believes the stock could multiply in value. But analysts are also forecasting double-digit price gains for the two German chemical stocks. When analysts raise their forecasts and recommend buying a stock, it is often worth taking a closer look. It becomes particularly interesting when these optimistic assessments are backed up by surprisingly strong financial results. That is exactly the case right now with Zefiro Methane, Evonik, and Fuchs. While the two German companies are already operating profitably and impressing with strong quarterly results, Zefiro is only at the beginning of a potential revaluation. The upside potential is correspondingly greater, though the risk is higher as well.

Oversold? Kostolany Buy Signals Emerge for Rheinmetall, Lahontan Gold and Coinbase
Hopes for a lasting ceasefire between the US and Iran are driving stock prices higher. Oil prices are falling, and inflation concerns are easing. Even in such a supportive environment, however, investors should avoid buying indiscriminately. Legendary investor André Kostolany coined the rule: when prices ignore bad news, panic selling has ended. In other words, those who wanted to sell have already done so. This pattern now appears to be emerging in three very different stocks. The German defence contractor Rheinmetall, the Canadian exploration company Lahontan Gold, and the US crypto platform Coinbase have all retreated significantly from their respective highs. Yet, each has recently absorbed negative news without suffering further meaningful declines—potentially signalling that sentiment has begun to stabilize.

Steel Is Strategic Again: How Strategic Resources and thyssenkrupp Could Benefit—and What It Means for TKMS
Geopolitical tensions, rising defence spending, the energy transition and the drive for more secure supply chains are placing renewed emphasis on industrial production and strategic materials. Without metals, specialty alloys, and high-performance materials, neither modern defence systems nor next-generation technologies can function. Strategic Resources is positioning itself at the heart of these critical trends. The company continues to advance its flagship BlackRock project in Canada. On the one hand, the Canadians aim to supply high-grade iron ore for the production of "green steel," which aligns with the megatrend of decarbonization. At the same time, however, the company has several additional growth opportunities up its sleeve.

Multi-Billion Dollar Saudi Nuclear Deal: Cameco, American Atomics and Constellation Energy in Focus
Driven by AI data centres and industrial transformation, soaring global energy demand is thrusting nuclear power back to the forefront of energy policy. The multi-billion-dollar US-Saudi agreement is not a superficial diplomatic gesture, but a 30-year economic stimulus program for the entire nuclear value chain. The true return on the nuclear energy renaissance lies not in the reactor coolers themselves, but in the companies that secure the supply, scale the technology, and capture the returns from capacity markets. This is precisely where a closer look at Cameco, American Atomics, and Constellation Energy is particularly worthwhile.

Adidas, Tonies, and Lahontan Gold: Three Promising Stocks with Strong Momentum
Stocks with momentum that have already risen sharply often continue to rise. One possible explanation lies in investor behaviour. New developments are rarely recognized immediately in their full scope. When a company's financial results, growth prospects, or strategic position improve, the market often adjusts its expectations only gradually. Rising share prices also attract attention. New investors jump in, analysts raise their forecasts, and institutional investors build positions. The stocks of Lahontan Gold, Adidas, and Tonies are in uptrends, have a track record of solid operations, and are poised for important news that could trigger the next price surge.

Almonty Industries, Boliden, Teck Resources: The Pullback Presents a Major Opportunity
Commodity stocks have lost significant ground following the recent market correction—even though the fundamental outlook for many companies has continued to improve. Rising demand for tungsten, copper, and other strategic metals, driven by AI, defense, the energy transition, and digitalization, is meeting with tight supply. For long-term investors, this pullback could therefore present an attractive entry opportunity. Companies with advanced projects, strong balance sheets, and rising production are now back in the spotlight.
