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.

Attention! Brand new developments at Siemens Energy, NEO Battery Materials, and BYD!
Energy infrastructure, electromobility, innovative battery technologies, artificial intelligence, and robotics are investment themes that will remain exciting in the coming year. These megatrends are establishing themselves thanks to sustained high demand, which is reflected in rising share prices for industry representatives. Innovative battery storage systems are becoming increasingly important. New high-performance batteries store more energy, reduce charging times, and offer greater safety. One promising second-tier company that is often overlooked is Canadian battery specialist NEO Battery Materials. We highlight its potential and that of established players Siemens Energy and BYD.

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.

Attention! Major Updates from NEO Battery Materials, Xiaomi, and RWE
Geopolitics are once again dominating global headlines. A 28-point plan brokered by the United States aims to end the war between Russia and Ukraine and pave the way toward sustainable peace. Viewed soberly, an approaching end to the war puts pressure on defense stocks. One area that has gained significant importance due to the Ukraine conflict is drones. Battery technology is playing an increasingly important role here. However, the use of powerful batteries is also essential in many other areas, such as robotics. The still largely unknown NEO Battery Materials is delivering one positive update after another. How can investors benefit now?

Everything is lining up! Take advantage of lower prices to enter Antimony Resources, RENK, and Hensoldt!
Is peace finally coming? Efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine have intensified significantly in recent days. But Russia remains the unknown factor. As a result, stock market volatility driven by shifting news or rumors is to be expected in the near future, especially for defense stocks. Setbacks offer investors opportunities to build up positions. In addition, special topics such as critical metals or raw materials that are indispensable for the defense industry and other key sectors remain attractive. This is where the undervalued Antimony Resources stands out.

New EU initiative boosts the hydrogen market! Pure Hydrogen, Nel, and SFC Energy stand to benefit!
With the Hydrogen Mechanism, the EU has launched a new and important instrument on the market. The launch took place just two weeks ago, so it is still too early to draw any interim conclusions. However, the approach has the potential to take the hydrogen market to a new level of development, as the platform brings together supply and purchasing interest and provides information on available financing instruments. Smaller providers, such as Pure Hydrogen, should benefit in particular.

Pure excitement! Take advantage of the current correction with UMT United Mobility Technology, Aixtron, and AMD!
Tech stocks are currently correcting. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniably an unbroken trend. AMD CEO Lisa Su expects the AI market to be worth USD 1 trillion by 2030. It is absolutely healthy to let some of the air out of the sometimes ambitious valuations. Apart from the well-known names, there are many mid-caps, small-caps, and micro-caps whose potential is only slowly being recognized. We take a look across the industry.
