Micron, Kobo Resources, MP Materials: Stocks with Upcoming Catalysts in AI, Gold and Rare Earths
The stock market trades on expectations. Between now and the end of the year, three companies across different market segments have upcoming milestones that could reset expectations. Artificial intelligence has significantly fueled demand for memory chips. The quarterly results on September 30 will show how much of that demand is here to stay. A gold explorer is set to release its first mineral resource estimate, revealing how much of the precious metal lies underground. As of January 1, the Pentagon's procurement rules for magnets will become stricter, which could benefit manufacturers with supply chains outside China. We are therefore taking a closer look at Micron Technology, Kobo Resources and MP Materials.

Newmont, DRC Gold and Agnico Eagle – China's Gold Imports Already Exceed Last Year's Total
China imported more than 1,000 metric tons of gold from January through August. That is more than in all of 2025, according to the latest Chinese customs data. The central bank in Beijing has also been increasing its gold reserves for 22 consecutive months. Demand from the Far East is particularly beneficial for the major producers. Explorers are looking for tomorrow's supplies in the northeast of the DRC, for example, where Kibali, one of Africa's largest gold mines, operates. Companies that want to grow need their own projects in the pipeline. Today, we are looking at three gold companies: Newmont, DRC Gold and Agnico Eagle.

A Multi-Billion-Dollar Market Underground: How Investors in BP, Zefiro Methane and Occidental Petroleum Could Benefit
Created and Published on Behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.
For decades, the oil industry's motto was "drill, produce, sell." Now, a second business is emerging from beneath the surface. Old wells must be safely plugged, emissions reduced, and CO₂ stored and sequestered in depleted reservoirs. What previously only cost money at the end of a project could become a source of revenue for engineers, drilling crews, and infrastructure providers. For investors, the climate promise matters less. The questions are: who is already booking contracts, who is building the facilities, and who is still waiting to start operations? This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff. We take a look at how BP, Zefiro Methane and Occidental Petroleum are tackling this issue.

Vonovia Under Pressure from Expropriation? Lahontan Gold and Coinbase as Inflation Opportunities for Investors
Rising inflation typically drives up demand for real estate, but this sector is currently facing political pressure. In Berlin, the Left Party wants to expropriate large private housing portfolios. Approximately 240,000 apartments would be affected. Nothing has been decided yet, but the debate is weighing on the market. For Vonovia, it is becoming clear what makes "concrete gold" vulnerable: regulation, compensation disputes, interest burdens and rent debates. Those who want to protect their wealth are looking for alternatives. Gold is often seen as a hedge against crisis. As an up-and-coming gold producer, Lahontan Gold could benefit from the high price of gold. Coinbase, meanwhile, offers access to the growing crypto trading market without actually owning Bitcoin. Three bets, three opportunities—we take a closer look.

Volkswagen, HPQ Silicon, AeroVironment: How Investors Can Profit from the Battery and Drone Boom
The lines between defence and automotive are blurring. Defence budgets are reaching record highs, while the auto industry is undergoing a complete transformation. In between, a new value chain is emerging, built on batteries, silicon and autonomous systems. After all, drones and an ever-increasing amount of military technology also require better batteries. Electric mobility needs them too. Those who understand the intersections are a step ahead of the masses. Headlines are of little help here. What counts are supply chains, patents and full order books. That is why we are taking a closer look at Volkswagen, HPQ Silicon and AeroVironment today.

The Copper-Gold Boom: How Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Franco-Nevada Benefit from the Same Megatrend
Copper and gold are both climbing to high levels at the same time. This is a rare occurrence. On the London Metal Exchange, a metric ton of copper most recently cost USD 14,779, while gold is trading at over USD 4,300 per ounce. Central banks purchased 288.9 metric tons of the precious metal in the second quarter alone. At the same time, global copper mine production fell by 1.1% in the first half of the year. It takes 12 to 15 years from discovery to the first metric ton mined. So the high prices cannot give the mines a quick boost. We will therefore look at three companies profiting from the shortage: Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Franco-Nevada.

Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions, Evotec: When Injections Become Pills, The Cash Starts Rolling In
The daily injection has had its day. For a long time, taking biologics in pill form was considered a pipe dream, but as of this year, it is becoming a billion-dollar business. On September 17, 2026, Novo Nordisk announced a partnership with Orbis Medicines worth up to USD 1.4 billion to make injections available orally. In February, the Danish company secured a partnership with Vivtex worth up to USD 2.1 billion. Whoever can deliver peptides through the stomach could see the industry come knocking. We are taking a closer look at Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions and Evotec, which cover the entire spectrum of this trend—from acquisitions to technology to development.

Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, B2Gold: From Reliable Cash Flow to Significant Leverage in Mali's Resurgent Gold Region
Mali is back on the map for gold investors. Between January and June 2026, the country produced 23.5 metric tons of gold—about 30% more than in the same period the previous year and more than the government had anticipated (21.2 metric tons). At the same time, the price per troy ounce exceeds USD 4,300. High prices and mines resuming operations are working in producers' favour, while developers hope to make the leap into production. Investors looking to profit from this trend have a choice between steady cash flow, the significant upside potential of a production launch, and regional growth. We therefore take a closer look at three companies active in Mali: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold and B2Gold.

Barrick Mining, DRC Gold and B2Gold: Three Gold Plays That Could Benefit Investors from the Next Price Surge
Gold has long been more than just a hedge against crisis. Central banks keep buying, while new mines take years to start producing. This imbalance plays into the hands of the gold price. But what is the best way to profit from it? Those who hold physical gold participate directly in price movements. Mining stocks can see significantly greater price swings depending on their stage of development. Whether large-scale ongoing production, new resources, or expandable output is the better path depends on the individual company. We therefore examine how this leverage differs among Barrick Mining, DRC Gold and B2Gold.

Central Banks Buy Record Amounts: Newmont, Lahontan Gold and Agnico Eagle Could Be the Biggest Winners
Gold hit an all-time high of USD 5,589 in January 2026 before taking a breather. Currently, the metal is holding steady above USD 4,000. Central banks have been a major driver of this trend recently. In the second quarter, they made net purchases of 289 metric tons of gold, up 62% from the previous year, with Poland alone buying 51 metric tons. On September 15, the Fed will decide on interest rates, while money has also been flowing back into gold ETFs since the end of July. We are therefore taking a look at three companies – Newmont, Lahontan Gold and Agnico Eagle – that cover the full spectrum of the gold industry, from a heavyweight through a developer on the path to becoming a producer to an established gold miner.
