Breaking News! OHB Follows SpaceX's Footsteps; Hensoldt and Deutsche Telekom in Focus; Volatus Aerospace Boasts CAD 500 Million Pipeline
Following SpaceX's historic IPO, German aerospace company OHB is looking to raise funds. The company aims to raise EUR 500 million through a capital increase, and major shareholder KKR also plans to cash out. The share fell sharply yesterday. In the drone market, Volatus Aerospace continues to accelerate. The Canadians have built a platform for both civilian and military applications. In their home market, they are benefiting from billions in government investments, and they are also in high demand among NATO partners. The order pipeline is fully loaded at CAD 500 million. And at Hensoldt, too, strategic course is being set. The company is working with Airbus on the next-generation fighter jet and plans to enter the drone defence market with Deutsche Telekom.

Alcoa, Antimony Resources, MP Materials: Despite the Hormuz Strait Opening, the Battle for Critical Metals Continues
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The next commodities rally may be just getting started. While geopolitical tensions are tightening the supply of key industrial metals, demand is simultaneously skyrocketing. Aluminum is benefiting from looming supply bottlenecks and rising demand driven by the energy transition and digitalization. Antimony is emerging as a key strategic commodity due to its importance for ammunition, semiconductors, and battery systems. At the same time, government programs worth billions are driving the development of Western supply chains for rare earths. Those who bet now on the commodity winners of the geopolitical realignment could be facing an extraordinary opportunity.

BYD in Formula 1? Defence and drone ambitions at Daimler Truck, Mercedes, and HPQ Silicon
Watch out for BYD! Is the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer spreading itself too thin? In its home market, the price war is causing profits to plummet. At the same time, the company is lagging behind its own goals in its European expansion. There are problems in Turkey, the fast-charging network will cost billions, and whether the rumoured entry into Formula 1 makes sense is open to debate. In that light, HPQ Silicon's expansion seems more logical. After the company's new battery generation already impressed in drone tests, it has now unveiled an entire drone propulsion system with partner Novacium at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris. Daimler Truck and Mercedes are now also eyeing the defence sector. Will drones soon be taking off from the roof of the G-Class?

Electric Vehicle Sales Are Booming: Taking a Closer Look at Albemarle, Rock Tech Lithium and BYD
The electric vehicle market is booming and may have received an additional boost from the conflict in the Persian Gulf. However, the global picture remains mixed. The strongest growth is taking place in the world's largest automotive market: China. There, the electrification rate has now surpassed the 50% threshold. More than one in two newly registered vehicles in the country is a plug-in. EV growth of 10-15% is forecast for this year. Germany, the world's third-largest automotive market, has also returned to a dynamic growth path following a weak 2024. Sales figures for 2025 stood at more than half a million electric vehicles. If plug-in hybrids are included, total sales exceed 800,000 units, representing an increase of over 40%. The United States, the world's second-largest automotive market, remains the exception, showing weaker development, largely due to political headwinds from Washington. The share of newly sold electric vehicles in the overall market there is estimated at just 7%-8%. Globally, however, battery-powered vehicles remain on the fast track to success, accounting for roughly 25% of the market. In addition, a new sales record was reached in 2025, with more than 20 million electric vehicles sold worldwide, up 20% year over year. This momentum is reason enough to take another look at attractive stocks in the sector. Today, we examine the shares of Albemarle, Rock Tech Lithium, and BYD.

ESG Meets ERP: Here Are the Top Candidates! SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, and RE Royalties
What at first glance appears to be two completely different worlds actually follows the same logic: scalable platform models that generate predictable, recurring cash flows. While SAP, Oracle, and ServiceNow dominate the digital infrastructure of global companies, RE Royalties is building an intelligent financial infrastructure for the expansion of renewable energy. At their core, all four players are focused on standardization, data sovereignty, and the ability to monetize complex processes efficiently. ERP systems enable transparent control and facilitate reporting—exactly the factors that also determine capital costs and growth in the ESG financing market. RE Royalties skillfully applies this principle to real assets by bundling long-term royalty streams from renewable projects and making them marketable. This creates a hybrid model combining infrastructure investment with software-like predictability—a rather rare profile in the ESG segment. For investors, this opens up an exciting world at the intersection of digitalization and decarbonization. Following the extensive correction, the stocks in our peer group embody triple-digit potential; the revaluation rally has already begun.

Fact Check on Emerging Gold Producer Lahontan Gold – Is a Share Price Increase Inevitable?
Lahontan Gold is in the midst of a transformative journey. As this unfolds, significantly higher share prices are on the horizon. The Canadian company is following a tight schedule to bring its planned gold mine at the prime Nevada site into production by the end of 2027. Along the way, a rich and positive news flow is expected. Very soon, the updated mineral resource estimate and the updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) should once again underscore the company's significant undervaluation. The latest drilling data confirms the potential to further increase the resource. This is due, on one hand, to the proven thickness of high-grade gold mineralization and, on the other, to the discovery of a previously unknown zone. The discrepancy between the company's fair value and its market potential presents opportunities for share price appreciation.

FROM THE MINE TO THE DATA CENTER: HOW TALEN ENERGY, AMERICAN ATOMICS, AND AMAZON ARE SECURING THE AI POWER OF THE FUTURE
Artificial intelligence has an Achilles' heel: it requires electricity around the clock. Round-the-clock power requires nuclear energy. Nuclear energy requires uranium. And this is precisely where supply and demand are drifting further and further apart. While Amazon is pumping hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure and energy providers like Talen Energy are securing the nuclear baseload with long-term contracts, the entire sector faces a bottleneck that hardly anyone has on their radar. American Atomics is working flat out to resolve it.

Orphaned Oil Wells Turn into Billion-Dollar Market: Chevron and Clean Harbors Under Pressure; Zefiro Methane in Focus
Methane emissions from decommissioned and abandoned oil and gas wells in North America have been drastically underestimated for decades. Scientific studies by McGill University show that actual emissions in Canada are seven times higher than official figures, while in the US they exceed government estimates by about 20%. Since methane has a greenhouse effect approximately 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide over a twenty-year period, plugging these leaks is a top priority. Through the bipartisan US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), billions in government subsidies are flowing into the remediation of abandoned and orphaned wells. This situation makes it easier for energy companies to act and creates a stable demand environment for specialized environmental service providers. We present a company that is currently fully focused on growth.

How to Capitalize on the Billion-Dollar Market for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles with BYD, Pure One, and Plug Power
In late December 2026, DACHSER will become the first customer worldwide to put the Mercedes-Benz NextGenH2 truck, powered by liquid hydrogen, on the road. At the same time, WattEV in California ordered 370 Tesla Semis—the largest single purchase of electric trucks in the state. And in April 2026, Pure One delivered two 32-ton hydrogen-powered concrete mixers to Heidelberg Materials for acceptance. These three announcements from recent weeks prove that the zero-emission commercial vehicle market is taking off. This is precisely where BYD, Pure One, and Plug Power are positioning themselves with different but highly profitable strategies.

The Steel Industry in Flux: How Strategic Resources Is Solving the Problems Facing Rio Tinto and thyssenkrupp
High energy costs, a lack of pipelines, and a sluggish hydrogen ramp-up are slowing down the steel industry's "green" transformation. To replace traditional coal-fired blast furnaces with modern direct reduction plants, steel giants need iron ore with a minimum iron content of 67%. Since these high-purity, pelletizable deposits are few and far between, cutthroat competition is breaking out over stable supply chains. Western steel companies must optimize their supply sources to remain competitive. Pressure from regulators and the market is ever-present.

USA–Iran: The Strait of Hormuz is Opening Up! A Sector Buy Signal for Bayer, MustGrow, BASF and K+S!
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
Some things are ultimately not surprising. The "agreement" between the USA–Israel and Iran resembles shadow boxing. One step forward, one step back—that is how the movements at the trading desk appear. The stock markets are reacting accordingly. At the start of the week, optimism about a near-term end to the hostilities is once again dominating. Oil prices are correcting most sharply, down nearly 5%, with Brent now quoted at only USD 82.50 per barrel. This is a positive signal for chemical- and transport-oriented industries in the food sector, with BASF and Bayer showing corresponding strength. Large volumes of goods must be transported globally, and shipping routes carry significant operational importance. As part of efforts to ensure long-term food security, more and more ideas are emerging that could mitigate the international energy crisis. MustGrow focuses on natural ingredients rather than chemicals, while K+S represents a typical example of the "old economy" in this sector. For investors, multiple opportunities for returns are available!

Vonovia is Struggling, Evotec is Reinventing Itself, and dynaCERT is Expanding—Three Stocks Under the Microscope! Who has the Upper Hand?
Three stocks, three completely different stories, yet all three are currently at a point that is likely to determine their performance over the coming months. Vonovia, for example, is struggling with rising interest rates and a real estate market that refuses to recover. Evotec is in the midst of a profound restructuring and has just reshuffled its supervisory board. And dynaCERT, the Canadian cleantech specialist, is pushing ahead in Southeast Asia: Vietnam could be the next step. On top of that, a geopolitical shock is shaking up markets: the US and Iran have reportedly reached a deal, and the Strait of Hormuz is set to reopen. Oil prices have fallen sharply in response. What this means for energy costs, real estate markets, and cleantech companies is still unclear. But a closer look reveals that all three stocks offer more than just headlines. Where should investors enter now?

Critical Raw Materials and Defence Stocks in Focus: Steyr Motors, MP Materials, Almonty Industries
Congratulations to all investors who took advantage of Almonty's recent dip. By the end of the week, the tungsten producer's stock had rebounded significantly. After all, the fundamental facts have not changed. Tungsten is in short supply, and demand is rising. In an interview with the "taz", a market expert describes the current situation as dramatic. Among other things, he calls for a ban on the export of tungsten scrap to China. Additionally, mining projects need stronger support. Similar to tungsten, the West must also establish its own supply chains for rare earths. In the US, MP Materials aims to do just that. The stock has been trading sideways for months. Yet analysts recommend buying. Steyr Motors' stock is in a downtrend, and the quarterly figures failed to provide any momentum. Perhaps the autonomous systems division will bring about a turnaround?

DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Textron: Technological Change Creates New Stock Market Stars
Modern warfare is undergoing a historic transformation. Autonomous systems, drone defence, and intelligent defence technologies are evolving into multi-billion-dollar growth markets. At the same time, forward-looking civilian industries are also benefiting from this trend. Drones are increasingly taking on tasks related to monitoring critical infrastructure, energy supply, and data collection. At the same time, electric mobility, hybrid powertrains, and the growing electrification of the economy are driving demand for innovative vehicle and battery systems. Those who position themselves early in these structural growth markets could benefit from a long-term investment boom that extends far beyond the traditional defence sector.

Lahontan Gold: Poised for a Revaluation This Year?
The gold market is currently overshadowed by the war in the Persian Gulf and SpaceX's IPO. Investors' focus has shifted. However, this presents opportunities for counter-cyclical investments. In the gold sector, valuations have fallen significantly in some cases. Yet the structural trends remain intact, as Citigroup recently noted in a detailed study. Accordingly, their commodities analysts confirmed their 6- to 12-month price target for gold at USD 5,000. The long-term upward trend is supported by structural changes such as ongoing de-dollarization, the shift in global supply chains and trade routes, and gold purchases by central banks worldwide. JPMorgan and Bank of America are even more bullish and see the price per ounce at USD 6,000 to USD 6,300 by year-end. Lahontan Gold is likely to benefit massively from these developments. The Canadians plan to begin construction of the historic Santa Fe Mine in Nevada as early as next year. On the way there, the stock should see a revaluation.
