The revaluation of Almonty shares is progressing excellently and gaining new momentum. After rising over 150% within six months, the tungsten gem has consolidated healthily in recent weeks. However, there are good reasons to expect further price increases: China is using tungsten as a weapon in the geopolitical power struggle. The latest major order for Almonty from the US shows how urgently defense companies – but also other key industries – need this critical metal. An upcoming NASDAQ listing is expected to drive the share price and could pave the way for an anchor investor or even lead to a takeover. Analysts consider the fair value of Almonty shares well above the current level.

    Major order from the US defense industry

    Next big news for Almonty: The US defense industry has secured the Company's tungsten supply for at least three years. It is noteworthy that a minimum purchase price is guaranteed, but there is no upper limit. This shows once again how much demand there is for tungsten. Under the current major order, US defense company Tungsten Parts Wyoming has committed to purchasing at least 40 tons of tungsten oxide per month from Almonty. The raw material will then be processed into tungsten metal powder by Metal Tech in the US or Israel. The partners announced that Almonty's tungsten is intended exclusively for US defense programs, including missile, drone, and explosive systems. Tungsten Parts Wyoming's customers include virtually all major US defense contractors, such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics. Tungsten Parts Wyoming manufactures armor-piercing ammunition, sabot projectiles, armor protection, and missile components, among other things.

    Almonty CEO Lewis Black commented: "This binding purchase agreement represents an important milestone for Almonty. Beyond commercial certainty, the agreement ensures that our tungsten oxide will be used in a strategic, high-value end application, strengthening Almonty's position as a key supplier to the US defense supply chain and its allies."

    Stock revaluation underway

    With this new major order, Almonty confirms that the revaluation of its stock, initiated at the end of 2024, is based on fundamental reasons. Tungsten is a critical metal, essential for key technologies such as defense, medical technology, and high-tech applications - it can even be found in iPhones. At the same time, more than 80% of global tungsten production comes from China. It is therefore not surprising that Lewis Black has regularly reported on visits by politicians and industry representatives from the US, South Korea, and Europe in recent years. After all, Almonty already operates a profitable tungsten mine in Portugal, which is set for further expansion. However, it is the project in South Korea that is driving the stock's revaluation. After years of development work – financed in part by the German KfW Bank – Almonty is preparing to bring the Sangdong mine into operation soon. Sangdong will not only be the largest tungsten mine outside China, but will also stand out for its high quality, with a tungsten grade of 0.46%. For comparison: Almonty's profitable Panasqueira mine in Portugal has a tungsten content of 0.14%.

    New all-time high with NASDAQ listing?

    In mid-April 2025, Almonty shares, which are also actively traded in Germany, reached their highest price of CAD 2.63. Since then, they have consolidated at a high level. In addition to further major orders and the commissioning of the Sangdong mine, the planned listing on the NASDAQ technology exchange should be a driver for the share price – to a new all-time high? Incidentally, the Company's headquarters are also to be relocated from Canada to the US – perhaps to facilitate a takeover or the entry of a US group? The latter is pure speculation. What is clear, however, is that with a market capitalization of CAD 665 million, Almonty shares are now large enough for institutional US investors and, at the same time, appear anything but expensive given the market potential.

    Analysts see fair value at CAD 5.40

    A glance at analyst estimates shows that Almonty is still undervalued. Sphene Capital expects Almonty's revenue to jump from around CAD 29 million to CAD 104.5 million in the current year. With the ramp-up of the Sangdong mine, this figure could reach CAD 483.4 million in 2027. Earnings are expected to climb at a similarly dynamic pace in the coming years. After CAD 0.20 in 2026, earnings per share are expected to reach CAD 0.51 in 2027. Yesterday, Almonty shares were trading at CAD 2.40. Sphene Capital analysts therefore recommend buying the tungsten gem and see the fair value of the share at CAD 5.40 (more-ir.de/d/32340.pdf).

    Capital market expert Mario Hose recently shared his thoughts on Almonty's current situation and future potential in an interview with Canadian host Lyndsay Malchuk from Stockhouse. The CEO of the German company Apaton Finance has been following Almonty's development for many years and knows CEO Lewis Black personally. In his view, Almonty differs significantly from many of its competitors in the commodities sector, and the next success stories should only be a matter of time. Click here for the full interview.

    Conclusion: Another 150%?

    There are many indications that the revaluation of Almonty shares is far from over. Tungsten is simply too important a metal and too scarce in Western countries. Almonty is unlikely to have any trouble selling its production. And perhaps a major corporation will acquire a stake in the tungsten gem – or even take it over completely – but if so, it will almost certainly be at a significantly higher price.

    Roadmap to Production Is Set: Those Who Ignore Lahontan Gold Now May Regret It Later

    The Canadian company Lahontan Gold is steadily advancing from explorer to mine developer in Nevada. Financing is secured, drilling is underway, and the roadmap is clearly defined. Those taking a closer look now can see a pattern of disciplined execution and tangible progress. This is not a speculative bet on a geological miracle, but rather the implementation of a concrete and well-structured plan. The coming months could demonstrate that a historic mining district can indeed be transformed into a new gold producer.

    Running on Empty? Chaos Around Strategic Metals Drives Prices Higher– Power Metallic in Focus for BYD and Volkswagen

    At USD 14,090, the price of copper reached a new all-time high in May. The demand slump predicted at the start of the year has apparently vanished into thin air. Instead, international commodity institutes are falling over themselves with forecasts of a projected shortfall over the next five years. The much-discussed copper shortage stems primarily from structurally rising demand driven by electrification, grid expansion, and data centers, while new mining projects are only coming online with delays and declining ore grades. Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), S&P Global, and CRU Group consistently anticipate growing supply deficits over the coming decade in their scenarios. The IEA, in particular, identifies potential supply gaps of several million tons by 2035 in its "Critical Minerals" analyses, depending on the pace of the energy transition. The crux of the matter is that even with high prices, mine development requires a lead time of 10 to 15 years, while existing deposits are simultaneously declining in quality. This poses a challenge for the market and investors!

    Sell RENK Shares? Buy Standard Lithium or Globex Mining After the Correction?

    Commotion at RENK! Major shareholder KNDS has unexpectedly cashed out. The sale of about 5% of RENK shares raised approximately EUR 269 million. Analysts find the reasoning behind the move implausible. Does KNDS perhaps intend to develop fewer land systems in the future? However, experts see no reason to panic. There are clear arguments in favour of buying Globex Mining Enterprises. Following the recent correction, the shares of this resource incubator appear attractively valued. For investors seeking reduced-risk exposure to the highly profitable exploration sector, the stock deserves close attention. The risks of individual explorers is illustrated by the performance of Standard Lithium. While Globex shares have risen 20% this year, Standard Lithium is down roughly 20%. The key question is whether recent news flow can trigger a turnaround.
