The Easy Path to Carbon-Free Computing Power: How NU E Power Aims to Make Things Easier for Companies Like Amazon and SAP
Created and Published on Behalf of NU E Power Corp.
Computing power for artificial intelligence requires enormous amounts of energy. But that is not the only challenge: power grids are already overloaded in many areas, and the combination of data centers, air conditioning systems and EV charging stations is putting additional strain on infrastructure. As a result, technology companies are increasingly factoring energy supply directly into their plans for new data centers. Ideally, that power should be sustainable while also providing reliable baseload capacity. Since energy infrastructure requires regulatory approval and suitable locations are scarce, an interesting market has emerged around powering data centers. We take a look at the situation and examine not only tech giants Amazon and SAP but also newcomer NU E Power.

Ticking Time Bomb in the Skies: Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield Stand to Benefit from Rising Security Threats
The incident at Leipzig Airport in early August, where fortunately a drone carrying Semtex explosives could not be detonated, demonstrates just how vulnerable the security infrastructure is—not only in Germany. Although intruders can often be detected, active intervention is sometimes difficult. This emerging threat is driving the multi-billion-dollar market for drone defence technologies. However, operators are facing regulatory grey areas, even as demand soars. So today we are taking a closer look at defence giant Rheinmetall, drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, and counter-drone specialist DroneShield.

AI, Robotics, Hydrogen and Copper: SanDisk, First Hydrogen, and Lundin Mining in Focus
The AI boom continues, driving major indices such as the S&P 500 toward new all-time highs. Chart analysts believe the 8,000-point mark could soon be within reach. But there is much more going on behind the scenes. Where robotics, AI, drones and energy converge, opportunities can emerge for prudent investors. However, it is important to bear in mind that volatility is currently extremely high, particularly among stocks closely tied to the AI theme. Nevertheless, today we take a closer look at the shares of SanDisk, First Hydrogen and Lundin Mining.

Almonty Industries, Freeport McMoRan, and Albemarle: Commodity Fever Rises Due to Structural Shortages
A major storm is brewing in the commodity markets. It is being driven by the transition to climate-neutral energy, extremely high demand for artificial intelligence and the computing power it requires, and global geopolitical conflicts. This wave does not appear to be a temporary flare-up, but rather the beginning of a long-term megatrend, as supply deficits continue to widen. While spikes in demand often provided the boost in previous commodity cycles, this time it is global supply chain risks and decades of underinvestment in the development of new commodity projects. Today, we take a closer look at tungsten producer Almonty Industries, copper producer Freeport McMoRan, and lithium producer Albemarle.

Concrete Gold, Tank Transmissions and Critical Raw Materials: How Bold Investors Could Benefit from Vonovia, Renk and Strategic Resources
They say the stock market—or rather, money—never sleeps. The phrase was made famous thanks to the movie "Wall Street". But some turning points in the capital markets also arrive quietly, almost unnoticed. Today, we take a look at three stocks and three very different stories. First, there is Germany's largest residential landlord, which is currently dealing with rising interest rates, political disputes and some still-skeptical analysts. Things look somewhat different for an Augsburg-based drivetrain specialist, which is riding a wave of record orders from the defence sector. And then there is a commodities stock that remains largely under the radar. The chart of this "golden gem" could soon send signals that attract investors' attention. Three very different worlds. And yet all three stocks are currently at a critical juncture. Those who look closely now may find almost everything: defensive substance, genuine growth and a potential breakout opportunity. These three stocks could be well worth keeping an eye on.

Nel ASA Hopeless? dynaCERT Poised for a Comeback — While SFC Energy Is Already Taking Off
Is there still hope for Nel ASA? At present, there appear to be few short-term catalysts for the stock. Growth remains limited, while losses are rising sharply. Analysts have also recently slashed their price targets. In contrast, there are strong indications that dynaCERT's stock is poised for a comeback. The cleantech company has once again reported progress in marketing its technology for reducing fuel consumption and emissions from existing diesel engines in Asia. This could prove the analysts right. They see significant upside potential for dynaCERT. SFC Energy provides an example of what a powerful comeback can look like. Analysts have raised their price targets and continue to see further upside even after the rally of more than 50%.

HPQ Silicon, Wacker Chemie, Cabot: Three Stocks, One Material — and a Billion-Dollar Market Few Investors Know
It is found in toothpaste, car tires and even the paint coating on kitchen cabinets, yet few investors have ever heard of it. Fumed silica (pyrogenic silica) is an inconspicuous white powder that has quietly supported entire industries for decades, from cosmetics and adhesives to food production. This multi-billion-dollar niche market is divided among a few established players, including Germany's Wacker Chemie and its US counterpart Cabot—two names that stand for solidity and scale on the stock market. Now, a small Canadian challenger is looking to enter the market: HPQ Silicon aims to break into the sector with a new, more cost-effective production process while also having a second, at least equally exciting technology up its sleeve.

Renewable Energy Is Booming! Trump Is Furious! Winners Include First Solar, NextEra Energy, Siemens Energy and RE Royalties
This development is unlikely to please US President Donald Trump. Renewable energy is gaining ground in the United States. While the US government is paying more than USD 1 billion to prevent RWE from building an offshore wind project, solar power generation is increasing by around 21%. Falling costs, rising electricity demand—particularly from data centers and AI—and the enormous need for new generation capacity are creating opportunities for companies such as First Solar and NextEra Energy. German companies including Nordex, SMA Solar and even gas specialist Siemens Energy are also among the potential beneficiaries. Another interesting small-cap is RE Royalties, which also has potential takeover appeal.

Watch the Rebound Potential of Mercedes-Benz and Nebius Group! Major News from Lahontan! Cars, AI Speculation and a Gold Rush!
The ongoing war in Iran, the tense situation surrounding the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and US President Donald Trump's unpredictable approach—ranging from maximum economic isolation of Tehran to surprising signs of de-escalation—are keeping stock markets on edge. The result is sharp swings in energy prices, shifting and sometimes surprisingly geopolitical alliances, and renewed inflation concerns. Decisions in Washington and developments in the Middle East are currently having a major impact on global stock markets. Investors face the difficult challenge of picking the right stocks in a market environment dominated by daily crisis headlines and Trump's unpredictable negotiating tactics. Today, we have selected three stocks to watch: Mercedes-Benz, Nebius Group, and Lahontan Gold. The latter has reported a 22% increase in its mineral resource, bringing the total to nearly 2.39 million ounces of gold equivalent at its flagship Santa Fe project. This report examines the latest figures, market rumors and operational developments at all three companies and highlights where investors should be looking more closely now.

Cancer in Focus: Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, there are currently around 20.6 million new cancer cases worldwide. The annual death toll is estimated at approximately 10 million people. In recent years, more than 53 million people globally have received a cancer diagnosis. According to the WHO, the number of new cases per year is expected to rise to about 35 million by 2050. Two factors are generally cited as the main drivers: demographic change, with the global population getting older, as well as rising rates of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and air pollution in many countries. Unsurprisingly, the oncology market is correspondingly lucrative. Oncology is the world's largest pharmaceutical market. There is, however, also some good news: the age-adjusted risk of dying from cancer is declining thanks to earlier detection, targeted therapies and advances in immuno-oncology. Today, we take a closer look at this market through the stocks of Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca.

Steel Transformation in Jeopardy: How Strategic Resources Plans to Support thyssenkrupp and Salzgitter
Smoking chimneys and hot blast furnaces have defined industrial regions in Germany and elsewhere for decades. But the era of the traditional steel industry is coming to an end. Anyone driving through European industrial centers today sees mostly construction sites—the climate-neutral future is already casting its shadow. The industry is also moving away from traditional steelmaking processes due to emissions regulations and high prices for emissions allowances. But the shift away from coke brings new problems: without pure intermediate products for the steel industry, the transformation risks failing. We shed light on the situation and highlight potential beneficiaries.

TKMS Keeps Soaring! When Will DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace Take Off Again?
Nearly 50% gains in just a few weeks. TKMS is currently riding a wave of success, and analysts believe the stock has further upside potential. The company is a prime example of the comeback staged by traditional defence stocks in recent weeks. By contrast, many drone stocks continue to struggle. It seems like a strange disconnect, since few would dispute that drones and counter-drone systems are playing an increasingly important role, not only in current conflict zones. Accordingly, the investment needs of armed forces and security agencies are likely to remain substantial in the coming years. So when will companies such as Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield take off again?
