The Next Big Thing! US banks have their sights set on the trillion-dollar tokenization market – pioneer Finexity in pole position! Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank left behind?
Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, made a powerful and significant statement in which he declared tokenization to be the "next generation of markets." Furthermore, the entry of the largest US bank, JPMorgan, into this area highlights its great potential. With the help of tokenization, real-world assets (RWA) are divided into digital tokens and mapped on a blockchain in a legally secure manner. According to the consulting firm Boston Consulting Group, the RWA market will grow to an incredible USD 19 trillion by 2033. Private markets such as real estate, private equity, and renewable energy are an exciting and rapidly growing sub-sector. Tokenization now makes it possible to trade previously non-fungible assets. This is where German pioneer Finexity comes in, addressing a market worth billions.

Silver boom shows no end! Exploration stocks like Silver Viper are significantly outperforming the precious metal! High reserves at Pan American Silver, record highs at Barrick
2025 was a historic year for silver. With a spectacular rally to a current all-time high of USD 67 per ounce, the price of silver has significantly outperformed gold and the broad mass of other commodities. Industrial demand, geopolitical uncertainties, and supply deficits are driving prices. Reaching new highs has also generated a strong buy signal. Market participants expect the bull market to continue. With shares in producers such as Pan American Silver, investors were able to significantly outperform silver. Exploration stocks such as Silver Viper, in particular, offer leveraged investment in the yellow precious metal's little brother in the current bull market cycle. Where is it still worth getting in?

When will the next hydrogen boom begin? How will dynaCERT, Nel, and Siemens Energy stocks benefit from this in concrete terms?

Winners for 2026: RZOLV Technologies, Evotec, Mutares have what it takes – which developments are crucial?
The 2025 stock market year was full of exciting developments. Bull markets in commodities, interest rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions. However, some companies, such as Evotec, had to deal with many home-grown problems and lagged behind the positive performance of the overall market. Mutares saw its coffers fill up, but its share price could have done better this year. Next year could be very successful for RZOLV Technologies. The Canadians are solving a major problem in gold mining.

Gold and silver on the rise: AJN Resources and Pan American Silver attractive, Puma on the verge of a major turnaround?
Gold and silver prices have recently reached new all-time highs once again, and there is no end to the rally in sight. Silver in particular has developed spectacularly after breaking through key technical resistance levels and has doubled over the past 12 months. Shares of major companies such as Barrick, Newmont, and Pan American Silver have also at least doubled over this period. Characteristically, the prices of exploration companies have lagged behind the performance of precious metal prices and blue chips. As the bull market progresses, there is much to suggest that explorers will outperform the broader market. One particularly exciting name in this segment is AJN Resources. Beyond the precious metals sector, there are also opportunities for investors to strike gold next year – in the case of Puma, a major turnaround appears to be taking shape.

Comebacks with doubling potential – Power Metallic Mines, Puma, TeamViewer!
Dips and corrections – these are often exciting entry points for building or expanding positions. For value-oriented investors, it becomes interesting when the price paid on the stock market differs significantly from the true or intrinsic value of the Company. In addition, technical chart markers can provide signals. Even though the following stocks are very different, they all have one thing in common: high price potential and the chance to be among next year's top performers.

On the winning side – now and in 2026: Antimony Resources and Bayer, crash at Evotec!
The year 2025 is drawing to a close. It is time to focus on stocks and investment themes that could offer attractive returns in 2026. Trends such as AI, defense, and robotics are expected to continue. Further involvement in the commodities sector also appears lucrative. Here, investors can find an exciting second-tier investment story in the still largely undiscovered Canadian company Antimony Resources. But opportunities also exist in the blue-chip segment. Bayer has established a solid foundation this year, and analysts have recently raised their price targets significantly. For heavily punished stocks like Evotec, a turnaround could also emerge next year.

What is going on? Sharp price swings for Almonty Industries, Klöckner & Co., and RENK!
Negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine are dragging on. The 28-point plan originally drafted by the US government has now been reduced to 20 points and is to be presented to Ukraine. In general, skeptical voices are growing louder, with many not expecting an agreement to be reached anytime soon. Against this backdrop, defense stocks such as Rheinmetall and RENK are rising. Equally exciting is Almonty Industries, a Canadian manufacturer of the critical metal tungsten, which is also in high demand in the defense industry. Recently, the stock fell significantly to an attractive price level.

Watch out! Take advantage of the price correction in Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and RENK!
According to a study by consulting firm EY-Parthenon and DekaBank, direct defense investments by European NATO countries are expected to rise to EUR 2.2 trillion by 2035. Based on this enormous surge in demand, companies and analysts are forecasting strong growth with rising margins. The medium- and long-term outlook is therefore positive. A possible price consolidation presents a good opportunity to pick up a few shares at a low price. Another exciting investment area is critical metals, which are indispensable for the defense industry, among others. Tungsten producer Almonty Industries stands out positively in this regard.
