People Make Markets: Why NEO Battery Materials Could Now Repeat the Successes of Patriot Battery and Enovix
In the global battery market, the harsh reality has set in that a patent alone is worthless if it cannot be scaled. History is full of start-ups that delivered brilliant lab results but failed in the transition to mass production. Today, professional investors are looking less at theoretical energy densities and more at the minds behind the business. If you want to build billion-dollar factories and manage complex supply chains, you need doers, not theorists. Recent history provides impressive evidence of this: Patriot Battery Metals exploded on the stock market when lithium legend Ken Brinsden took the helm. Enovix is winning the confidence of the markets thanks to the iron fist of chip veteran T.J. Rodgers. Now, NEO Battery Materials is preparing to play the same card. The company is not only banking on a disruptive silicon anode, but also on a management team that comes from the heart of South Korea's battery superpower – reinforced by strategic new additions from the military.

The Transaction Era: Why Desert Gold Ventures Emerges as the Clear Winner in West Africa – B2Gold Watches, Robex Resources as a Blueprint
The spotlight at Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town in early February illuminated a new reality that goes far beyond production quotas and drilling results. A term emerged from the panel discussions that defines future commodity policy: "transactional." The era of purely ideological alliances is giving way to a pragmatic age in which security of supply and access to resources are the currency of geopolitics. In this new global structure, in which the West, China, and the Global South are vying for influence, Africa is no longer positioning itself as a supplicant but as a strategic partner on an equal footing. Capital follows this logic. However, it does not flow indiscriminately, but rather targets the most geologically productive regions. In the gold sector, this means that all eyes are on the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone (SMSZ). In this world-class district, a small explorer controls the key to the longevity of the giants there: Desert Gold Ventures. While B2Gold and Robex Resources manage their billion-dollar assets, Desert Gold sits on strategic reserves that are likely to become very expensive in a transactional world.

Nearly 200% upside potential! RENK, Nordex, and Power Metallic Mines shares under analyst review!
Analysts at Noble Capital Markets believe that Power Metallic Mines shares could rise by almost 200%. This is based on the Nisk project, which has developed from a nickel project into a world-class multi-metal project. Recent nearby drilling results suggest even greater potential. The planned IPO in the US could be an additional driver. Nordex shares are recommended as a "Buy" by mwb research. Although analysts are optimistic and see the wind turbine manufacturer on track operationally, the price target is disappointing. At RENK, the recent analyst call by management appears to have been convincing. Expectations for Q4 and the full year 2025 are likely to be met, unlike recently at Rheinmetall.

Plug Power, Pure One, Daimler Truck: Your turbocharger for returns in the billion-dollar market of emission-free mobility
The global economy is at a historic turning point in 2026. The forced shift away from fossil fuels is catapulting green technologies into a new dimension. Driven by regulatory hammer blows from Brussels and exploding investments worth billions, the decarbonization of heavy-duty transport and the hype surrounding hydrogen are colliding to create a perfect storm for investors. While battery-electric trucks are already conquering short distances, a race between systems is emerging in long-distance transport, in which only the technology with the best infrastructure can win. The following article highlights how Plug Power, Pure One, and Daimler Truck are shaping this battle for supremacy.

Unpredictable conflict dynamics turn tungsten into a strategic metal – Almonty moves into focus
The capital markets currently appear paradoxical: record highs for indices, unusually high volatility, and above all, a world order that is shifting faster than any valuation metric. Wars are back and here to stay, trade routes are becoming political and fragile, and sanctions are replacing diplomacy. In this environment, raw materials are once again becoming strategic weapons. While algorithms are still extrapolating growth rates, governments are already thinking about supply scenarios after the crash. In this tense environment, the logic of investing is changing. It is no longer just about supply and demand, but about access, control, and reliability. Who will deliver when the going gets tough? Who will decide who gets what and how much, and who might even be excluded? This is precisely where the major capital movements of the coming years will arise, often away from the familiar mega-caps. A metal that hardly anyone has paid attention to for years is suddenly becoming the focus of technological and military interest. And a company that has long flown under the radar is quietly becoming a strategic factor. Almonty Industries is an example of how geopolitics and capital markets are currently intertwining in new ways and creating dream returns for visionary investors.

Forget the automakers: Deutsche Telekom, RE Royalties, and BASF are the new anchors for your income in 2026
The message sounds promising: EUR 52.9 billion for shareholders. But those who rely on the familiar dividend stars could be in for a nasty surprise in 2026. While global distributions are crawling along and growth has halved to 2.7%, a quiet power shift is taking place in portfolios. Former dividend kings, like the automakers, are hitting the brakes, while banks and financiers are setting the pace. For investors, this means paying closer attention. A closer look at Deutsche Telekom, RE Royalties, and BASF shows where the real opportunities for 2026 might lie.

The hunt for forgotten ounces: Why Silver Viper Minerals has the potential to repeat the success story of Blackrock Silver and Dolly Varden
The global silver market is in an exceptional situation. Industry analyses confirm that the market is heading for its sixth consecutive year of structural supply deficit in 2026. Driven by the insatiable demand from the photovoltaic industry and the booming AI infrastructure, which requires silver for high-performance chips, investors are looking for quality in the ground. In this environment, two models for success have emerged: premium development in secure top jurisdictions, as exemplified by Dolly Varden Silver, and the revitalization of historic silver territories through modern technology, as demonstrated by Blackrock Silver. But while these stocks have already performed well, one company that combines these two approaches in the world's most productive silver country is still largely flying under the radar: Silver Viper Minerals. In Mexico, the heartland of global silver production, the company combines the geological knowledge of old mines with state-of-the-art drilling technology – offering investors the chance to be part of a classic discovery story with enormous leverage.

Cancer Research as a Growth Driver: How Bayer, Vidac Pharma, and Pfizer can enrich your portfolio
Oncology will be put to the test for the pharmaceutical industry in 2026. Never before have so many highly specialized active ingredients been on the verge of market launch at the same time. While checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies are revolutionizing treatment, business models are shifting from broad-based approaches to precision medicine. But the reality remains complex: between medical advances, narrow patient groups, and pressure on prices, companies need to readjust. Current developments at Bayer, Vidac Pharma, and Pfizer show how three players with different strategies are responding to this change.

RENK, Power Metallic, American Electric Power – These stocks offer explosive potential
Three trend industries are currently the focus of strategic investors: critical raw materials, energy infrastructure, and storage technologies. While geopolitical tensions are reshaping supply chains, the boom in artificial intelligence and electromobility is driving up demand for metals and power capacity. At the same time, decarbonization and grid stability require huge investments in long-term storage and modern infrastructure. Those who are well-positioned here could be on the verge of a structural growth spurt.

From CAD 0.10 to CAD 0.81? Why Desert Gold is now poised for revaluation
The lines between hope and substance are often blurred in the commodities sector. However, a clear turning point is emerging at Desert Gold Ventures. The company, which has projects in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire, has moved beyond the phase of pure speculation. While the market still considers the stock to be in the exploration segment, preparations for gold production at the fully approved SMSZ project in Mali are already in full swing. With oversubscribed financing, solid profitability figures, and a clear timeline, the course is set for production. Investors who want to recognize the transition from explorer to producer in good time would do well to take a closer look now.

Buy this stock NOW? Gerresheimer, TUI, and Silver Viper Minerals!
If you missed the silver rally, the current consolidation could offer an interesting entry opportunity - and potentially a chance to add to positions. One intriguing second-tier stock in this context is Silver Viper Minerals. In a compelling interview, the CEO outlines the company's strengths. Could it soon become the largest explorer in Mexico? At first glance, the sharp drop in Gerresheimer’s share price might argue in favor of a buying opportunity. However, there are significant concerns. The company’s accounting practices remain subject to scrutiny, and now operational performance is also showing signs of weakness. In contrast, TUI appears to be performing solidly. The tourism group is paying dividends again and has had a strong start to the new year. While the share price has edged slightly lower, insiders have been buying.

Dual return profile: How Antimony Resources combines the security of MP Materials with the potential of Albemarle
In the world of strategic raw materials, true giants often emerge out of necessity. When global supply chains break down, geopolitical alliances crumble, and national security is suddenly at stake, the capital market often responds with a radical revaluation of those companies that hold the strategic solutions. We have observed this phenomenon exemplified by MP Materials, which rose from obscurity to become the indispensable pillar of the American defense industry and delivered dream returns to investors as the only relevant US producer of rare earths. We have also seen this with Albemarle, which transformed itself from a specialized chemical company into the undisputed lithium king of electromobility when the world realized that without lithium, a transport revolution would be impossible.

Benefiting from the security and energy transition with high-performance batteries: BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield
Western countries are facing a major challenge. NATO is calling for record defense spending, while electromobility continues to advance unabated. Germany alone will have a defense budget of over EUR 108 billion in 2026, while global demand for high-performance batteries is set to more than double by 2030. This pincer movement of security constraints and the energy transition is overwhelming traditional industries, but it is opening a window of opportunity for specialized technology leaders who master both worlds. In this tense environment, three companies are catching the attention of investors: BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield.

The Dividend Trap: Why RE Royalties Offers Greater Structural Stability Than Petrobras and Maersk
In times of geopolitical uncertainty and volatile markets, investors seek dependable cash flow. Dividend stocks are often perceived as a safe haven in stormy weather, but appearances can often be deceiving. Investors who focus solely on headline dividend yields frequently ignore the structural risks embedded in the underlying business model. An oil major exposed to political interference or a shipping conglomerate whose earnings fluctuate with freight rate cycles may struggle to sustain dividend commitments over the long term. In this environment, it is worth taking a closer look at the substance. While giants such as Petrobras and AP Moller-Maersk are struggling with cyclical challenges, Canadian niche player RE Royalties has developed a model positioned to benefit from one of the biggest investment waves of our time - while elegantly sidestepping many of the typical industry risks.
