Demand trends for energy remain strong, but ultimately it is price that matters – American Atomics, Siemens Energy, and RWE are benefiting!
Shares in the energy and raw materials sectors were good investments last year. This trend is continuing in the first few weeks of the new year. The strong growth in demand for electricity, driven in part by AI and electromobility, is structural and sustained. Important aspects in this context are the availability of energy and infrastructure and, crucially, the price. The price of electricity is becoming increasingly important as a competitive factor. Who has the most convincing answers to the challenges of the present and the future?

Multibagger potential: Antimony Resources! Perfect setup - Sought-after critical metal in a large, high-grade, strategically important property
Geopolitical uncertainties and the race for secure supply chains are turning critical raw materials into a strategic priority. One metal that has so far received little attention is increasingly coming into focus: antimony. It is essential for defense, semiconductors, specialty alloys, and flame retardants. Antimony Resources is developing Bald Hill in New Brunswick, home to the largest known antimony deposit in North America. Recently published drilling data showing high-grade mineralization underscores the project's potential. The data already suggest that the size of the indicated resources could expand soon. All these factors could become strong drivers for the share price!

Power Metallic Mines: Top Commodity Pick Backed by Renowned Investors!
Many market experts have proclaimed this the decade of commodities. Last year was dominated by a precious metals boom, with silver in particular seeing a sharp increase in momentum in recent weeks. Critical raw materials, such as rare earth elements and strategic metals, are also attracting significant attention. The market is dominated by China, and export restrictions put additional pressure on the West to develop new deposits outside of China and establish secure supply chains. This is putting companies that own properties in secure Western jurisdictions at the center of investor interest. One such company is Power Metallic Mines. The Canadians have one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. Several prominent investors have already taken positions, underscoring the Company's potential. Analysts also see significant upside for the stock.

Silver boom with no end in sight! Strong price drivers for Silver Viper, First Majestic Silver, and Pan American Silver!
Silver has been underestimated for a long time, but that changed abruptly last year. The silver boom has been gaining momentum, especially in recent weeks. Currently, a troy ounce costs around USD 85. Like no other commodity, this precious metal combines two worlds – monetary security and a key industrial component. Analysts are increasingly raising their price targets, even beyond the USD 100 mark. The silver market is tight and sensitive to changing conditions. Past price developments reflect rising demand, supply bottlenecks, and a short squeeze. For silver producers and future miners of the precious metal, these are ideal conditions that should cause share prices to rise further.

With these data-driven and scalable business models, investors are on the winning side: Aspermont, Palantir, and SAP!
Data is a fundamental part of the economy and our everyday lives. Companies that not only collect data but can also systematically refine, monetize, and scale it are creating business models with enormous leverage. Palantir transforms fragmented information into decision-relevant intelligence for corporations and governments. SAP's software maps corporate data in real time and makes it usable. The often overlooked specialist Aspermont transforms data in the commodities sector into high-margin digital subscription models. All three companies are united by a scalable platform mindset. Where are the biggest opportunities?

Enormous growth ahead due to hunger for electricity: CHAR Technologies, Siemens Energy, and Nel – Who is in the lead?
Global electricity demand is exploding. What was once considered a stable, moderately growing market has been transformed by two powerful megatrends. AI applications, cloud infrastructures, and energy-intensive data centers are causing electricity demand to rise sharply. At the same time, decarbonization is putting increasing pressure on the economy and society. Many countries have committed to climate neutrality by 2050. This raises a key question for investors: Who can satisfy the growing demand for electricity in a reliable, affordable, and climate-neutral way?

Return opportunities in 2026: A.H.T. Syngas Technology, BASF, Siemens Energy – Hidden potential here!
Renewable energy remains an attractive and structurally driven investment trend. The Paris climate targets and the commitment of many countries to climate neutrality by 2050 are increasing political and regulatory pressure. In addition to pure energy generation, availability, costs, and the production of energy directly at the point of demand are increasingly becoming the focus of industry and investors. Stocks such as Siemens Energy, which are benefiting from strong and sustained growth trends, performed brilliantly last year. Second- and third-tier companies positioned in promising segments, such as A.H.T. Syngas Technology, have so far received little attention from the market. Analysts believe the stock has significant catch-up potential. How can investors best position themselves?

Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?
In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

Defense and commodity stocks remain top performers! These should not be missing from any portfolio: Almonty Industries, TKMS, and Salzgitter
Defense and commodity stocks continue to offer attractive investment opportunities. Geopolitical tensions, such as those currently in Venezuela, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine, are providing companies in the defense industry with a sustained economic boom. Critical raw materials are also geopolitically significant. These resources, along with secure supply chains outside China, carry great weight for both companies and states. We explain why the companies listed above benefit from this overall constellation.

Strong tailwind for defense stocks – New buy signals for Antimony Resources, Hensoldt, and Steyr?
Defense stocks are the focus of investor interest at the beginning of the year. The chances are good that defense stocks will now quickly iron out the dip in prices caused by profit-taking in the past quarter and surge toward historic highs. The environment is also favourable for (prospective) producers of critical raw materials that are urgently needed by industry, such as Antimony Resources. The escalation of the conflict between the US and Venezuela has added fuel to the fire. Trump is now also threatening Colombia. In addition, disillusionment is setting in regarding the hoped-for peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine. How can investors take advantage of this situation?
