Frequentis, Parrot, and Volatus Aerospace under the microscope: A hidden gem from Canada is reshuffling the deck
Drones have long been more than just a technological trend - they have become a geopolitical factor, and the stock market is reacting accordingly. While Austrian security specialist Frequentis, valued at billions, is already firmly in the sights of institutional investors, French micro-drone pioneer Parrot and Canadian full-service provider Volatus Aerospace are engaged in an exciting race for investor favor. Volatus, previously little known in Germany, has transformed itself from a restructuring case to a growth star in a remarkably short time with government backing, a promising NATO contract, and inclusion in the prestigious "TSX Venture 50" list. Parrot has apparently reached the break-even point, but is leaving investors in the dark until the end of March. Those who make the right choice now could benefit from one of the most exciting investment themes of the decade – but the differences between the three candidates are greater than they appear at first glance.

Panasonic, Samsung SDI, and NEO Battery Materials: Three paths into the battery age
Whether it is due to failures on the part of the Western automotive industry or China's locational advantages, Beijing dominates the global battery market and openly uses this power as a geopolitical lever. Since November 2025, drastically tightened export regulations have been in place for lithium batteries, graphite anode materials, and related equipment. Production machinery and technologies are also affected. This is a wake-up call for Western industry - and an opportunity for investors: Non-Chinese battery manufacturers are increasingly coming into focus on the stock market, whether they are established players such as Panasonic and Samsung SDI or newcomers such as NEO Battery Materials.

The arms race is on: Why Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, and Leidos are needed!
War in Ukraine, troop buildup in the Persian Gulf: Politicians currently seem to be reverting to their role as warlords. The conflict in Ukraine alone has now lasted more than four years and shows how modern warfare works. It is important to control the necessary raw materials, data, and airspace. Since then, an arms race has begun. The US has urged its NATO partners to increase their defense spending, and most countries have followed suit. Within this framework, Germany has launched a EUR 500 billion investment program, which will benefit the German arms industry, among others. US President Donald Trump has announced a military budget of USD 1 trillion – for one year, mind you! But global rival China is not to be outdone, increasing its military spending by double-digit percentages every year. While the US primarily enjoys technological supremacy, China dominates the raw materials market. This explosive constellation offers investors opportunities on the stock market.

Commodity investments: Why Globex Mining is the hidden gem next to Barrick Mining and MP Materials
The global economy is undergoing a fundamental shift from an era of free trade to an era of scarcity. Commodities are no longer mere trade goods, but instruments of national security and expressions of geopolitical power. The US government's announcement that it will create an exclusive commodity trading bloc demonstrates this. At the same time, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has heralded the age of electrification, in which demand for copper, rare earths, lithium, and antimony is rising to historic highs due to the expansion of global data centers for artificial intelligence and the decarbonization of industry. S&P Global forecasts a copper deficit of 10 million tons by 2040. China continues to control over 50% of refined copper production and dominates the supply of 19 out of 20 critical minerals. This concentration is forcing Western countries and investors to rethink their strategies. We present options that have received little attention so far.

New German hydrogen gem! Will A.H.T. Syngas eclipse the old favorites Plug Power and Nel ASA?
Is it time for a changing of the guard in the hydrogen sector? The old favorites Plug Power and Nel ASA have been falling short of expectations for years. Yet the benefits of hydrogen in the energy mix of the future are undisputed. A.H.T. Syngas is on its way to becoming the new hydrogen gem. The company produces synthetic natural gas substitutes from biogenic residues and, in the future, hydrogen as well. A.H.T. Syngas has recently achieved an important breakthrough. In addition, it is in the process of transforming itself from a pure plant manufacturer to an energy producer. The revaluation has begun, but is far from complete. Analysts see considerable upside potential.

AI: a billion-dollar opportunity! Secure your share of the pie now with Intel, American Atomics, and Super Micro Computer.
In 2026, artificial intelligence will have an unprecedented impact on the stock markets. What began as a purely technological phenomenon is transforming into a cross-sector megatrend fueled by record investments of over USD 450 billion. No longer just chip developers, but also suppliers of specific infrastructure and energy providers are becoming the secret winners of this expansion. This fundamental change is creating opportunities far beyond the usual suspects and leads us directly to three interesting companies: semiconductor veteran Intel, energy company American Atomics, and server specialist Super Micro Computer.

International Expansion as a Catalyst? RENK, CHAR Technologies, and SFC Energy enter new markets
CHAR Technologies is likely to achieve a breakthrough this year, both operationally and on the stock market. The company is now bringing its HTP technology for the production of biogas and biochar to Europe. Licensing reduces risks and conserves capital. The first industrial plant has already gone into operation in Canada. Its expansion is being planned, as are further plants in North America. RENK is also gaining momentum in the US. Analysts recently speculated that US business could surprise on the upside from 2028 onwards. New orders are already confirming this. And what about SFC Energy? Following the forecast adjustment last summer, the share is looking for new momentum. This may come from internationalization. However, analysts are not yet convinced.

MustGrow Biologics and its partnership with Bayer: Why the stock is only just getting started
Global agriculture is facing a paradox. It needs to feed more people, but with fewer chemical inputs. Worldwide, 460 pesticides are now banned or restricted across 162 countries. The era of synthetic active ingredients is coming to an end – but what comes next? A Canadian company believes it has found the answer. It grows in the field, is spicy and yellow: mustard. MustGrow Biologics has developed a technology that uses the natural defenses of the mustard plant to remediate soils and increase yields. What sounds like a niche idea could turn out to be one of the most exciting investments in the agricultural sector.

Securing raw materials in Europe: How Avrupa Minerals, Altius Minerals, and Elemental Royalty Corporation are organizing supply chains
The EU is looking for domestic sources of copper, zinc, and strategic metals to secure its industrial base. Recent analyses by the European Court of Auditors show a dependence on imports for 10 of 26 critical minerals needed for the energy transition and modern defense systems. Despite the Critical Raw Materials Act, which aims to increase domestic production to 10% of demand, auditors identify bottlenecks in the financing and practical implementation of the requirements. At the same time, consultancies such as McKinsey are forecasting a significant increase in demand for materials for the energy transition, with annual growth rates in the single-digit percentage range through 2035. In this environment, specialized players are positioning themselves to provide access to deposits and manage capital risks for investors. We present three companies with a focus on Avrupa Minerals.

Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, BYD – Innovations put pressure on the competition
Record military spending, major orders worth billions, and structural rearmament are set to drive the European defense industry for years to come. At the same time, global energy demand is exploding. Modular nuclear reactors and green hydrogen are coming into focus as low-CO₂ base load solutions. And in the field of electromobility, Asian battery manufacturers are massively expanding their cost advantage. As a result, cell prices are falling, ranges are increasing, and Western competitors are coming under pressure. Three future-oriented industries – defense, clean energy, and battery technology – are facing a new wave of investment, but some of the first warning signs are appearing in the charts.

Silver North Resources: The high-grade bet in the slipstream of giants Hecla Mining and Silvercorp Metals
The silver market is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation that goes far beyond the precious metal's traditional role as a substitute currency. This turning point is characterized by the divergence between robust industrial demand and a geological shortage of high-grade resources. New discoveries in world-class districts are thus becoming rare and sought-after events for investors. These market dynamics are accompanied by technological developments: modern architecture for artificial intelligence, such as Nvidia's Rubin and Blackwell chipsets, have a power consumption of over 1,000 watts and generate enormous demand for silver-based thermal materials. As this silver is permanently withdrawn from the market and the transition in the photovoltaic industry to new N-type cells further fuels consumption, the industry is experiencing its sixth consecutive year of significant supply shortages. After a period of exaggeration with peaks of over USD 120 per ounce, the market has currently consolidated at USD 70 to USD 80. Based on this level, profitable producers and promising exploration bets in North America are becoming interesting again for investors.

Almonty Industries – Main beneficiary of the tungsten shock
The price of tungsten has quadrupled within a year. China dominates over 80% of production, is cutting subsidies, tightening export rules, and struggling with declining ore grades. At the same time, demand from the defense, semiconductor, and data center sectors continues to drive the market. The West is looking for alternatives, and one of the largest mines outside China is about to ramp up production. Could this give rise to a strategic raw materials player that could serve up to 40% of non-Chinese demand?

Beijing's silver bomb is ticking: Silver Viper Minerals, Infineon, and JinkoSolar in the big winners check
The stage is set for one of the most spectacular commodity conflicts of the decade. For the sixth consecutive year, demand is outstripping supply in silver, but this time the bottleneck has a geopolitical face. Beijing's export restrictions threaten to cut off up to half of the silver supply for Western industry. In this fractured market, three companies show how differently strategies can play out in the face of the crisis: Silver Viper Minerals is betting on new discoveries in Mexico, Infineon requires silver, but only to a small extent, and JinkoSolar is pushing forward the replacement of the precious metal in production.

IPO and takeover speculation at Steyr Motors, TeamViewer, and Pure One! Share price set to skyrocket?!
IPO and takeover speculation are important drivers of share prices. At Pure One, there is reason to believe that the share price will jump in the short term. Namely, the IPO of its subsidiary Eastern Gas. The gas exploration company has production rights in Australia, where there are currently problems with gas supply. It is therefore not surprising that the IPO is attracting a lot of interest. Pure One's core business is also interesting. TeamViewer was long considered an attractive takeover candidate. However, this topic has quietened down. Instead, the software company is now considered a big AI loser. Is this justified? Steyr Motors has undergone a spectacular revaluation in 2025. The stock market has high expectations for revenue and earnings growth. To meet these expectations, the supplier of special engines is laying a new foundation.
