Building a pyramid requires patience, precision, and perseverance – just like the rise of Almonty Industries (TSX: AII | ISIN: CA0203987072 | NASDAQ: ALM) to become the most important tungsten producer outside China. After a spectacular NASDAQ debut, the stock recently came under pressure. But now, everything points to a comeback – with strategic global significance. As the saying goes, the profit is in buying, and those who have been mere spectators of the unique tungsten producer's rapid share price development in recent months now have a second chance to get in.

    Things are getting more challenging

    When looking at the construction of a pyramid, it quickly becomes clear: the higher you climb, the more challenging the work becomes. At the beginning, structure and a solid foundation are key - but the truly challenging tasks come in the final stages, where precision, timing, and resources must work in perfect harmony.

    Almonty Industries is at precisely this point: the completion of the world's most significant tungsten mine outside China – Sangdong in South Korea – is imminent. What many investors only vaguely recognize: Tungsten is not only a rare strategic metal, but also highly complex to process. Its importance for the defense, aviation, and high-tech industries is enormous. It is no surprise, then, that NATO ranks tungsten among the 12 most critical raw materials.

    China currently controls around 70% of global tungsten production and over 80% including processing – but that is about to change. With Sangdong, Almonty is not just building a mine, but is creating a geopolitical alternative. A controlled processing chain, existing cash flow generating mines, and initial supply contracts with US defense partners position the Company as a strategic raw materials champion in the West.

    Between Hype and Hysteria: The IPO Effect

    The NASDAQ listing on July 14, 2025, was a major milestone: The capital increase at USD 4.50 per share was oversubscribed, bringing in USD 90 million for the Company – an amount that, just a year earlier, corresponded to its entire market value, a masterstroke!

    But this was followed shortly afterwards by an abrupt slide in the share price: On July 29, just two weeks after the IPO, the share price hit a low of USD 3.16. The reason? Typical IPO volatility. Short sellers, profit-taking, and algorithmic high-frequency trading – the mix caused the share price to plummet, even though the strong fundamental outlook remained intact.

    Imagine that at the top of a pyramid structure, a stone weighing several tons starts to slide – panic ensues. But construction continues, and the goal remains unchanged. Almonty will reach the top of the pyramid. With its tungsten mine, Panasqueira, management has already proven its expertise, as this documentary impressively demonstrates.

    Turnaround initiated – Analysts remain bullish

    A trend reversal in the share price was already evident on July 30, accompanied by stabilizing revenues. Analysts are now confirming the Company's solid foundation:

    ° B. Riley confirms its price target of USD 6.00
    ° Alliance Global Partners even sees USD 6.75

    For many investors, the valuation at its recent low was an invitation to get in – so striking is the gap between the Company's potential and the panic-driven pricing.

    Let's summarize

    Almonty Industries (TSX: AII | ISIN: CA0203987072 | NASDAQ: ALM) is not a short-term gamble, but a geopolitically vital supplier of raw materials in a highly sensitive market. Those who follow the pyramid through to its completion understand: Tungsten is needed – reliably, from the West, and on a scalable basis. With the Sangdong mine nearing completion, rising geopolitical interest, and fresh capital from the US market, the stage is set for the next price level. Those who think long term will recognize that the top of the pyramid is within reach.

    Bombshell at Plug Power! Things are getting "critical" at Standard Lithium and Graphano Energy! Donald Trump is shaking up commodity stocks!

    • Mining
    • graphite
    • CriticalMetals
    • Lithium
    • Commodities
    • Energy

    Investors are currently rushing to buy stocks in the rare earths, tungsten, and lithium sectors. The driving force behind this is the US government, which is investing in companies involved in critical raw materials to secure independence from China. Could Graphano Energy be next in line for government participation? In any case, no battery can function without the critical mineral, graphite. Graphano Energy is attractively valued and holds projects in Canada. Standard Lithium is benefiting from the hype surrounding critical metals. After rising more than 60% in four weeks, has a correction now arrived? Plug Power is in the midst of one. This week, the stock fell by over 20%. A capital measure and the surprising departure of the CEO are causing uncertainty.

    The AI tech high-flyers! Up to 3,500% dream returns with D-Wave Quantum, Power Metallic, Nvidia and AMD

    Hard to believe, but unfortunately true! Without a single setback, share prices in the AI, high-tech, and strategic metals sectors have been rising unabated for months now. This has led to dream returns, some of which are in the triple digits. The curtain call for this party seems a long way off, while underinvested investors are sitting on billions in idle cash. There is no conclusive advice for such a situation. Fundamental analysts have been sounding the alarm for months, noting that the well-known Shiller P/E ratio, at over 42, has long since broken through the band of irrational exaggeration. But who cares? Here is a selection of stocks that face daily demand, forcing constant appreciation. Of course, as with any party, it only ends when the last guest turns off the lights.

    War increasingly likely? This supplier is improving drones: AeroVironment, NEO Battery Materials and Kratos Defense

    "Is war against Putin inevitable?" This was the headline in BILD yesterday in response to statements by military historian Sönke Neitzel on the ARD talk show Maischberger. According to Neitzel, Putin has already paved the way for war with his recent escalations. The historian asks: "If Putin is determined – many in NATO say so, and I would agree – will he wait until we can say that even the German Armed Forces now have enough drones? No, probably not." Neitzel believes that, due to the current poor equipment of many NATO countries, a military conflict between NATO and Russia could occur within the next three years. Investments in drones are therefore urgently needed. We present a battery supplier that offers tailor-made technology for drones, capable of drastically reducing the dependence of Western militaries on batteries from China.
