Bayer's cancer drugs, Defence Therapeutics' cancer vaccine, Novo Nordisk's fat burner – Back on the road to success through specialization
The new trade tariffs threaten to destabilize the global supply chains of the pharmaceutical industry, increase the prices of generic drugs, and slow innovation cycles. The only winners in this environment will be those who focus on unique innovations to ensure resilience and growth. Bayer is trying to make itself fit for the future with an efficiency program, new pharmaceutical products, and digital agriculture platforms. Defence Therapeutics excels with precision-medicine cancer vaccines based on patented technology, opening up new markets. Novo Nordisk, in turn, is shaping a multibillion-dollar market with GLP-1 therapies for obesity and diabetes based on closed production cycles. These three approaches show how specialization and adaptability open new paths in turbulent times.

Tungsten shortage as a goldmine: Why Almonty Industries is becoming a key player for NATO countries
As early as the beginning of December 2024, there were initial indications that China would impose certain restrictions on its tungsten exports. After the Chinese government further tightened export control on tungsten and molybdenum in early February 2025, Western industries have been increasingly seeking reliable alternatives. While Beijing leverages its dominance in critical metals as a geopolitical lever, companies like Almonty Industries are benefiting by building independent supply chains. With strategic partnerships, a relocation of its headquarters to the US, and the revival of one of South Korea's largest tungsten mines, the Company is positioning itself as a key player in a market characterized by scarcity and increasing demand.

Steyr Motors, Power Metallic Mines, BYD – From unique selling point to market leader
In the context of geopolitical tariffs and green transformation, drive technology, raw material extraction, and e-mobility are merging into key sectors. While US automotive tariffs are setting new rules from 2025, three players are driving systemic solutions: Steyr Motors, a pioneer in high-performance hybrid engines; Power Metallic Mines, which is setting ESG standards with carbon-neutral nickel; and BYD, which is dominating e-mobility through innovation. Their strategies – technological sovereignty, vertical integration, and resource-efficient ecosystems – demonstrate how the apparent contradictions between decarbonization and industrial reality can be overcome. Three companies, one mission: to shape the value chain of tomorrow.

RENK – The armaments hype is waning. First Phosphate and Volkswagen are taking advantage of the upswing in electromobility!
The demand for armaments stocks is waning. Despite record orders for tank transmissions from the RENK Group and global security investments, the defense boom is flattening out - partly because these stocks have become fundamentally expensive. At the same time, electromobility is gathering pace: The EU predicts a 38% increase in the number of electric vehicles registered in 2025, driven by Germany's planned tax breaks and subsidies for hybrids. This surge requires raw materials to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is where First Phosphate comes into play. Meanwhile, Volkswagen is currently exploring the production of military vehicles, but is also pushing into the market with new electric vehicles and charging systems. Investments for the future should flow into green technologies, not tank production.

While gold is chasing new records, the future of electrification is being decided on the copper front. Three companies are currently in the spotlight. BYD, a pioneer in electromobility; Benton Resources, a promising copper and gold explorer; and Barrick Gold, one of the largest gold producers, a beneficiary of the precious metal rally. Where does the greatest potential lie?

Volkswagen, European Lithium, BYD – Lithium as a winner in the crisis: Why analysts are predicting a rally despite the chaos
The global energy transition is catapulting lithium into the spotlight. As an indispensable raw material for batteries, the electrification of mobility and energy infrastructure has fueled demand enormously. But after the hype, prices plunged from record highs to below USD 10,000. Now, there are increasing signs of a trend reversal: Production cutbacks, a predicted demand explosion of around 20% this year, strategic investments by large corporations, and technological leaps in extraction could curb the oversupply. Is lithium on the verge of returning as the scarce "white gold"? The stage seems to be set for a revaluation of the market.
