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.

    Another interesting week on the stock market, one that was hard to beat in terms of excitement and contrasts, is drawing to a close. While tech giant Microsoft once again won over Wall Street with stellar results and sparked pure enthusiasm among investors, an old acquaintance elicited reactions ranging from disbelief to excitement. GameStop, once the darling of rebellious retail investors, is planning a "crazy coup" and setting its sights on the e-commerce dinosaur eBay. It feels like a David-versus-Goliath showdown that is keeping the markets and the stocks of both companies on edge and sparking heated debates. Away from all this commotion, a Canadian underdog is quietly and secretly preparing for its big moment. Volatus Aerospace is weaving a web of strategic partnerships and innovative drone technologies. All of this could soon snap the share price out of its slumber. We show you where the opportunities for future gains might lie!

    China Is Buying Gold—Even More Than Expected? Barrick Mining, Newmont, and Lahontan Gold Stand to Benefit

    While the price of gold holds steady above the USD 4,000 mark, China is buying heavily. According to the Chinese central bank, China purchased 15 metric tons of gold in June alone. This is the highest volume since October 2023. Furthermore, the market has long suspected that China's actual gold purchases are significantly higher than the officially reported amounts. This could mean gold is on the verge of a new rally. For investors looking to profit from a long-term rise in the price of gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont are considered core investments in the gold sector. They offer relatively direct exposure to the price of gold. Rising selling prices can have a disproportionately large impact on cash flow and profits when production costs remain stable. At the same time, operational risks, cost increases, and political uncertainties persist in individual mining countries. Exploration companies are a good option for adding to a portfolio to gain additional exposure to the price of gold.

    New to the Index, Then Hit Hard: Hochtief, Almonty Industries, AT&S, and Marvell Technology Put to the Test

    Inclusion in a major stock index is often considered a mark of distinction. But at the end of June, it turned into a trap for four stock market stars. Anyone who bet on DAX newcomer Hochtief, the promising tungsten stock Almonty Industries, or the AI-linked high-flyers AT&S and Marvell Technology suffered double-digit share price losses within just a few weeks. This is no coincidence, but rather the result of a market mechanism that investors should be aware of—and one that may now be creating attractive buying opportunities. We take a closer look at all four stocks and compare their current share prices with analysts' price targets.
