The FED's interest rate cut and announcements of further easing of monetary policy are giving the indices additional momentum. The German-leading index DAX, the Dow Jones, and the S&P 500 continue to jump from high to high. In contrast, companies in the hydrogen fuel cell sector are more than 90% away from their historical record highs. However, several companies are currently forming a sustainable bottom that could lead to a sharp rebound.

    PowerCell Sweden – Impulsive rebound

    Are companies in the hydrogen fuel cell technology sector starting a longer-term countermovement after months of a dry spell? While the chart situation for Nel ASA and Plug Power does not yet suggest a significant upward turnaround, the stock of the Swedish developer and producer of fuel cells has been booming for weeks. Since the year's low on August 28, the stock has gained almost 70% to currently EUR 3.37.

    From a chart perspective, the signs for further price gains are excellent. In addition to the rising volume, positive divergences have been forming in the relative strength index for months. The next important hurdle is the striking horizontal resistance at EUR 3.54. If this mark, where the EMA 50 is also located, is exceeded, the bottoming out phase would be complete. The next target would then be at EUR 8.45.

    The upward trend was accelerated by the publication of a significant order. According to the announcement, PowerCell has signed a contract with a "leading" Italian shipbuilding OEM for the largest order to date for fuel cell systems for the shipping industry. As was announced, the value of the three-part order is approximately 165 million Swedish Krona, the equivalent of EUR 14.34 million, and includes a total of 56 units of the marine system 225.

    Almonty Industries – Test production successfully completed

    The upward trend of the Almonty Industries share also continues. However, even after the stock market value doubled, with a market capitalization of CAD 206.89 million at the current price of CAD 0.80, the potential remains enormous. The reason for this is clear. Almonty Industries, based in Toronto, is primarily engaged in the mining, processing, and shipping of tungsten concentrate from its Los Santos mine in western Spain and its Panasqueira mine in Portugal. It is also developing its Sangdong tungsten mine in the South Korean province of Gangwon and the Valtreixal tin/tungsten project in northwestern Spain.

    The mine in South Korea offers significant upside potential for the Company, as Sangdong will account for around 30% of global tungsten production outside China in the future. Initially, 2.3 t of tungsten oxide is to be mined there annually, with the aim of gradually increasing this rate to 4.8 t.

    Almonty, led by experienced CEO Lewis Black, recently announced the completion of test runs at the pilot plants for the production of tungsten concentrate, a further milestone. With the measures now in place, all preparations for process technology and plant performance have been completed. The Company expects stable tungsten concentrate production in Sangdong as early as next year.

    Nordex – Filling the order books

    The Hamburg-based wind turbine manufacturer Nordex has seen its share price rise 35% to EUR 14.23 since the beginning of the year. After the failed attempt to break through the year's high of EUR 15.77 on May 14, 2024, the share price was corrected, buoyed by sell signals from the trend-following indicators MACD and RSI. The next important support is the upward trend established since January, currently at EUR 12.85.

    By contrast, the order backlog is currently developing positively. After the Hamburg-based company recently announced a significant order from Poland, Nordex is further expanding its expansion into the Baltic states with a major order from Latvia. Nordex will supply six N175/6.X wind turbines to the energy subsidiary of Laflora, a Latvian peat producer. These powerful turbines are to be used in a wind farm with a planned total output of almost 109 megawatts.

    In a press release, Nordex emphasized the strategic importance of this contract: "The Nordex Group has been operating in Estonia and Lithuania for many years. Now, it will gain a foothold in Latvia for the first time." Chief Sales Officer Patxi Landa emphasized the suitability of the turbines for the region: "We are convinced that the N175/6.X is ideal for many projects in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia."


    PowerCell Sweden's upward trend was spurred on by a major order. Nordex is expanding further into the Baltic States. Almonty Industries reported successfully completing its test runs at the pilot plants in Portugal and South Korea.

    Tungsten rally: Who really profits – Kennametal, Sandvik, Rheinmetall or Almonty?

    • Tungsten
    • Export controls
    • China
    • USA
    • Processors
    • Recycling

    Tungsten is more expensive than almost ever before – but who actually profits from it? The price of the intermediate product ammonium paratungstate (APT) has multiplied since September 2023 and at times exceeded USD 3,200 per MTU in Rotterdam in the summer of 2026. S&P Global puts the gap between demand outside China and mine supply there for 2026 at around 21,000 tonnes WO₃. The result is paradoxical: Western tool manufacturers are reporting record profits, while the few producers outside China are being punished on the stock market. We take a look along the supply chain – from the mine to armour-piercing ammunition.

    Boom with a Few Hurdles? Almonty, Rheinmetall and Renk Put to the Test! Is Now the Time to Buy?

    • Tungsten
    • Tungsten producer
    • Commodities
    • Critical raw materials
    • Military
    • Defence industry
    • Geopolitics
    • Investments

    Commodities, defence, returns. This formula for success has developed cracks. Following the recent sharp share price pullbacks, the crucial question is whether these are now buying opportunities or warning signals? With tungsten, Almonty is focusing on a strategic raw material with growing demand and considerable geopolitical significance. With the ramp-up of the South Korean Sangdong mine, Almonty is on the verge of a strong growth spurt. High prices, long-term offtake agreements and a further expansion phase also strengthen the sales outlook. Business at specialist Renk is running at full tilt. Following another forecast cut, Rheinmetall must offer investors a more reliable outlook. Where are the most attractive opportunities now?
