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.

    Canadian gold exploration company Lahontan Gold is generating optimism. A preliminary economic assessment of its key mining project in Nevada recently assigned the Santa Fe Mine a calculated project value of USD 820 million. This is a multiple of its current market capitalisation, giving the stock considerable upside potential. Goldman Sachs has also surprised the market in recent days with a strong set of financial results. Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, meanwhile, raised its outlook despite one minor setback. Three promising companies with positive news are under review.

    Opportunities and Risks: ASML, Almonty Industries and Lynas Rare Earths in Focus

    Whether driven by interest rate concerns, geopolitical tensions or high oil prices, making money in the market is no easy task right now. In times like these, it is important to focus on the operational performance of individual companies. Businesses that deliver solid profit growth and prove resilient in the face of market headwinds may be better positioned to navigate a difficult environment. Meanwhile, the ongoing euphoria around artificial intelligence may be nearing the end of the boom. Analysts estimate that around 3% of US GDP is now flowing into the AI industry alone. This would make the current boom even larger than the stock market frenzy surrounding railway shares in the 19th century. Today, we take a closer look at ASML and examine the opportunities and risks facing Almonty Industries and Lynas Rare Earths.

    Tungsten, Weapons and Growth: Almonty, Rheinmetall and Deutz Under Review. Is This an Opportunity in a Megatrend?

    The stock market is not linear. Greed and fear, excessive optimism or excessive scepticism—all of these drive markets. Only the future will tell what is cheap or expensive today. The stocks mentioned above are at precisely this point. Secure supply chains, access to raw materials and defence readiness are high on the agenda of Western governments. These long-term trends play strongly into the hands of defence companies and raw material producers. Almonty, in particular, as a producer of the critical raw material tungsten, holds a leading position in the sector. Where do the greatest opportunities lie for investors now?
