Buy TUI? Sell Siltronic? And Is Power Metallic Mines at a Turning Point?
Should investors sell shares of Siltronic ahead of its upcoming quarterly results? That is what the analysts at mwb are advising. One point in particular stands out: despite the booming market, the German semiconductor company is still expected to report a loss. Meanwhile, Power Metallic Mines is targeting long-term value creation through the development of its copper and polymetallic projects. The first mineral resource estimate is scheduled for publication in July. That could finally be the turning point for the stock. Analysts continue to see significant upside potential. Despite the unresolved conflict in the Middle East, analysts recommend buying TUI shares and are even raising their price targets. The tourism group plans to open additional hotels this summer. This will extend value creation and boost margins. The focus is on Asia.

ESCALATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: OCCIDENTAL, VOLATUS AEROSPACE, AND PALANTIR IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF STOCK MARKET TRADERS
Hopes for a ceasefire between the US and Iran were premature: peace talks have been put on hold. Instead, the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz is escalating once again—with attacks on tankers, US sanctions against Iranian oil, and retaliatory strikes on both sides. Investors would therefore be wise to take a look at three stocks from three completely different industries, each reflecting a different stage of the same crisis: the oil and gas company Occidental Petroleum as a direct play on energy prices; the Canadian drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, which is benefiting from growing demand for military hardware; and the software manufacturer Palantir, which illustrates where the real value growth is shifting in the age of AI-driven warfare.

Green Steel, Vanadium Batteries, and Uranium: thyssenkrupp, Strategic Resources, and Energy Fuels Power Industry 4.0
The old saying that crises create the greatest opportunities appears to be playing out once again in the commodity markets of 2026. While the global economy continues to struggle for stability, sharp moves in the prices of gold, oil, and other raw materials are highlighting growing uncertainty for investors. In the commodities sector, China has often established a kind of monopoly. As a result, Western governments and companies are increasingly seeking alternative sources of strategically important raw materials. Green steel, vanadium batteries, electric mobility, wind power, defense systems, and next-generation energy infrastructure all depend on secure and reliable supplies. In this article, we take a closer look at thyssenkrupp as a major industrial consumer, alongside Strategic Resources and Energy Fuels, two companies positioned to benefit as suppliers of critical materials.

Target: USD 6,000 - Investment Banks Are Betting on Gold! Lahontan Gold Is on the Verge of a Decisive Turning Point in Nevada
Nothing is as difficult as predicting the price of gold. There are too many factors influencing the precious metal, and a handful of reasons why it belongs in every investment portfolio. Today, gold is shifting from its traditional role as a diversification tool to becoming the central currency of a new era marked by geopolitical conflicts, tensions in the monetary system, and rampant speculation. When asked, the bullish divisions of investment banks say, "USD 6,000 per ounce is not the end—it is just the starting point." For once, Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, and JPMorgan are all on the same page, forecasting prices of USD 6,000 to USD 6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026. This is a clear signal, as the rally has once again rebounded significantly from the recent high of around USD 5,400 following the sideways consolidation since January. Furthermore, US fiscal policy continues to put pressure on the dollar, and geopolitical risks are increasingly seen as anything but "temporary." In the second tier are Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citi, with forecasts of USD 5,400 to USD 5,700 per ounce. From today's perspective, that is still 30-40% higher. Producers, asset managers, and retail investors are gradually adjusting to a new price level, convinced of the potential for active returns. Gold is therefore not just a commodity, but a geopolitical store of liquidity and confidence. What is next?

Dividend Gem Vonovia, Sell-Off Warning for Siemens Energy, and Almonty Industries on the Verge of a Technical Breakout!
Over the weekend, international financial markets were shaken by a dramatic military escalation in the Middle East that could abruptly paralyze global supply chains and energy corridors. Following attacks by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over. In retaliation, the US military struck well over 140 military targets along Iran's southern coast, prompting Tehran to respond with missile and drone attacks on US bases in the Gulf states of Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE, and to declare the key sea lane closed. This latest disruption to shipping traffic on the "lifeline of global oil and gas trade" threatens to drive global inflation skyward at a rapid pace. On the stock markets, this shock could trigger a fundamental flight to tangible assets and a reassessment of strategic independence. While the interest-rate-sensitive German real estate giant Vonovia is facing new headwinds due to the looming inflationary and interest-rate consequences of this conflict, despite its high dividend yield, the need for a self-sufficient and secure energy infrastructure provided by Siemens Energy is coming into focus, even though the company is currently struggling with share price declines. However, the spotlight may ultimately fall on Almonty Industries. As a leading Western supplier of tungsten, a metal critical to defence and advanced technologies, the Canadian-American resource company occupies a strategically important position. At the same time, its shares may be on the verge of a technical breakout.

Nothing but Trouble with Green Energy: 2G Energy Looks Ahead – A.H.T. Syngas in Turnaround, Concerns at Plug Power
Energy providers are under pressure from two sides: on the one hand, AI data centers and the ongoing electrification of mobility and industry are consuming increasing amounts of electricity; on the other hand, lawmakers are demanding climate protection and decarbonization. But when the wind stops blowing and the sun disappears behind the clouds, problems loom. Batteries can barely cushion the load volatility in the distribution grid. One solution is molecular energy carriers such as syngas or hydrogen, which deliver energy exactly where it is needed, regardless of the weather. New, innovative business models often rely on decentralized solutions and stand to benefit the most. We shed light on the market and introduce companies.

Daimler Truck Warns of Charging Station Shortages: NEL Refines Its Strategy While Pure One Rethinks the Entire Approach
The transformation of heavy-duty road transport remains an uphill battle. While increasingly stringent regulations are pushing vehicle manufacturers toward zero-emission technologies, the rollout of charging and hydrogen infrastructure across EU member states continues to lag far behind. The shortcomings are particularly evident along Europe's highways and major freight corridors: for transport operators, an emissions-free truck offers limited value if reliable charging stations or hydrogen refueling infrastructure are unavailable. Against this backdrop of ambitious regulation and slow infrastructure development, agile technology providers are finding new opportunities. We take a closer look at pragmatic solutions and examine where the most promising investment opportunities may emerge.

Gold Stocks: Opportunities with B2Gold, Desert Gold, and Newmont
The price of gold has corrected significantly from its high and is trading just above the USD 4,000 mark. Despite this, the major gold miners continue to make good money. Across industry, production costs for most companies are below USD 2,000. In some cases, such as with very high-grade deposits or favourable production conditions, as in Africa, they are even well below USD 1,500 per ounce. For investors, the current situation presents opportunities in gold stocks following the significant correction. We are therefore taking a closer look at the stocks of B2Gold, Desert Gold, and Newmont.

Bayer and Novo Nordisk Celebrate a Comeback! Is BioNxt Solutions Next?
With its GLP-1 therapy in tablet form, Novo Nordisk has returned to success on the stock market. Since April, the Danish pharmaceutical company's stock has risen by nearly 50% to around EUR 43. New research results are now being presented. Bayer has also recently celebrated a comeback on the stock market. Following the landmark glyphosate ruling by the US Supreme Court, hopes are growing that the company will be able to focus more strongly on its core business again in the future. To that end, the Leverkusen-based company has secured EUR 3 billion. BioNxt Solutions could be poised for a comeback. The biotech company's stock has nearly halved in value this year. Yet the news flow is positive and points to rising prices.

Why Lahontan Gold Deserves Attention Now: Multiple Catalysts Meet Significant Undervaluation
The price of gold remains at a historically high level, at around USD 4,100 per ounce. When high and rising gold prices meet promising projects, the stock market can quickly get exciting. Lahontan Gold finds itself in just such a phase. The Canadian company is working on the redevelopment of the historic Santa Fe gold mine in the US state of Nevada. Production is expected to begin by the end of 2027. Along the way, the company has already outlined several milestones, two of which are expected within the next few weeks. Even today, the project's value, which could rise significantly soon, exceeds its current market capitalization. This presents opportunities for investors.

The Unexpected Lithium Rally 2.0: Mercedes, Porsche AG, Rock Tech Lithium, and BASF in Focus
It has finally happened! The looming global power shortage is unexpectedly becoming a massive catalyst for a new boom in the commodities market, once again propelling lithium stocks into the spotlight. The renowned Fraunhofer Institute has reached the clear conclusion that European demand for high-purity lithium hydroxide will increase sixfold by 2030. Analysts explicitly emphasize that only companies with closed, regional supply chains will be able to successfully circumvent the looming production bottlenecks caused by power and raw material shortages. This is because Western industrialized nations aim to drastically reduce their dependence on Asia and rely on their own raw material reserves. For investors, this fundamental transformation builds a highly attractive bridge to the next generation of beneficiaries. While automotive groups such as Mercedes and Porsche are now radically securing their supply chains through partnerships, Rock Tech is poised to move into supplier status in the near future. The chemical company BASF, an indispensable partner for cathode materials, is also part of the picture. Savvy investors are using the current consolidation phase to position themselves early among the winners of this megatrend.

HOT AIR AND HARD FACTS: WHAT SETS SPACEX APART FROM ALMONTY AND THYSSENKRUPP
USD 2 trillion for dreams of Mars? While SpaceX is valued on expectations of its long-term growth and ambitious space exploration plans, Almonty Industries supplies tungsten—and soon molybdenum—critical raw materials used in a wide range of high-performance industrial and aerospace applications. These metals are also important for manufacturers such as thyssenkrupp, the long-established industrial group from Essen that is currently undergoing a major transformation. This analysis compares one company valued largely on future expectations with two businesses positioned at the heart of real-world industrial supply chains.

Time to Exit Gerresheimer? TKMS Earns a Buy Rating as HPQ Silicon Attracts Growing Interest
Should investors sell shares of Gerresheimer? That is what some analysts are now recommending. Yet, following accounting issues, the delayed release of the annual report, speculation surrounding the BaFin audit, and changes in the executive board, things had recently settled down somewhat at the packaging specialist for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. The stock had even staged a solid recovery. HPQ Silicon, meanwhile, could be poised for a revaluation. The technology company is entering the commercialization phase with several products, and its latest positive results have significantly increased interest from potential industry partners. Strategic options include joint ventures, licensing agreements, royalty-based production partnerships, and in-house production facilities. Against this backdrop, the stock appears to offer further upside potential. The same may be true for thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). Following its recent multi-billion-dollar contract from Canada, analysts have raised both their earnings estimates and price targets. The order is expected to secure the company's production backlog well into the 2040s.

Nuclear Energy 3.0: Computing Power for AI and the Cloud – Standard Uranium, AMD, Broadcom, and SpaceX Can Deliver
According to McKinsey's forecasts, massive data center capacity will be needed to fully support global AI growth through 2030. In total, the high-tech industry will need to invest approximately USD 5.2 billion in AI infrastructure alone. At the same time, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that global electricity demand for the required computing power will more than double to 945 terawatt-hours. In this highly capital-intensive environment, AMD and Broadcom are positioning themselves as challengers in the chip market, while SpaceX is attracting visionary attention with its connectivity services and space-based energy concepts. Slightly upstream, but serving as an important bridge, is the uranium industry—a raw material that is in high demand for the construction of the next generation of power plants. Who is best positioned in this market?
