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.

DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Kratos Defense: Those Protecting the Airspace Are Reaping the Benefits of the New Budgets
A single drone can bring an airport to a standstill. The failed drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport in August 2026 sent shockwaves through Berlin, Brussels and Washington. The incident has jolted policymakers into action. The German government is preparing a package of measures against sabotage, and between January and September 2026, contracts for drone defense totaling more than USD 53 billion were publicly announced worldwide. What was niche technology yesterday is now moving squarely into defense budgets. We therefore take a look at three companies that detect and defend against drones and protect mobile targets: DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace and Kratos Defense.

No Power, No AI: How Siemens Energy, NU E Power and Micron Aim to Benefit from Infrastructure, Projects and Efficiency
Created and Published on Behalf of NU E Power Corp.
The AI boom is overshadowing the biggest bottleneck: electricity. Data centres are consuming enormous amounts of energy, while limited capacity in power grids, turbines and transformers is holding back growth. This creates three key areas of opportunity: infrastructure supply, local project development, and demand for energy-efficient chips. As an investor, it is important to understand who supplies the energy infrastructure, who develops the projects, and who produces the most energy-efficient chips. Siemens Energy, NU E Power, and Micron operate across these areas. That makes them worth examining more closely.

Empty Ammunition Stockpiles, Tight Tungsten Supply: Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin Set to Benefit
As geopolitical conflicts intensify once again and NATO countries ramp up defence spending, ammunition supplies are increasingly running low. This is making tungsten ever more important. Without this critical raw material, armour-piercing ammunition, precision missiles and high-performance tools cannot be produced. Starting in 2027, US procurement rules will also require supply chains independent of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This is redirecting billions of dollars and intensifying the race for secure sources. Against this backdrop, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Lockheed Martin are moving into focus. All three companies stand to benefit from the realignment of the Western defence industry.

Power Metallic Mines, Volkswagen and RWE: Raw Materials, Cells, Grid — Benefiting from the Germany-Canada Pact
Europe aims to expand battery production in 2026, but without raw materials, cells, and electricity, every target remains fragile. Regulations on carbon footprints and battery passports are increasing the pressure. Europe remains dependent on supply chains from Asia. Anyone looking to reduce this dependence needs secure access to raw materials, gigafactories and energy storage. Germany and Canada are currently in formal talks on a comprehensive Canada-Germany Strategic Partnership Agreement, which is also intended to cover raw materials, energy and investments. The aim is to strengthen raw material security—all the more reason to take a closer look at Power Metallic Mines, Volkswagen and RWE.
