German defense stocks appear to have quickly ended their consolidation phase. Driven by Buy recommendations, they are marching back toward their all-time highs. Hensoldt is recommended by Deutsche Bank, among others. However, the Company could face significant challenges ahead! Meanwhile, there is a bombshell from naoo: for the first time, analysts have taken a closer look at the Swiss social media insider tip. Experts see strong growth in the coming years and believe a multiplication of the stock price is possible. D-Wave's share price has already multiplied. Nevertheless, analysts see further upside potential for the quantum high-flyer.

    naoo: Analysts see potential for multiplication

    A bombshell at naoo. For the first time, analysts have taken a close look at the stock market newcomer from Switzerland. The experts at GBC Research have come to a clear conclusion: "Buy". Based on a DCF (discounted free cash flow) model, the analysts consider naoo to be fairly valued at EUR 28.48 per share. The security is currently trading at around EUR 6.15. Accordingly, there is potential for the stock to multiply in value.

    In their study, the analysts highlight three key investment highlights: First, the Company operates a latest-generation AI-powered social media platform that offers a new type of value for users and advertisers through a reward system (naoo points) and strong local integration. Second, naoo has reached a strategic milestone with the acquisition of Swiss influencer agency, Kingfluencers. This acquisition complements the platform business with a high-margin agency model with an established customer base and brings immediate revenue and synergy effects. Third, the business model is highly scalable: advertising on the platform, SaaS revenues from the business solution planned for 2026, and targeted AI personalization are expected to enable exponential growth.

    GBC therefore expects naoo to grow rapidly in the coming years: from CHF 9.2 million (2025) to over CHF 100 million by 2028. The lion's share of revenue will come from the digital advertising business of the naoo platform from 2027 onwards. The current user acquisition is key to this: while around 35,000 monthly active users are forecast for 2025, this figure is expected to rise to 4.36 million by the end of 2028. At the same time, increasing user numbers are expected to lead to higher advertising revenues. The influencer business (Kingfluencers) is also expected to grow at double-digit rates and contribute to profits.

    After the current development phase, naoo is expected to be profitable at all levels and scale rapidly from 2027 onwards. For 2027, analysts expect operating profit (EBITDA) of CHF 3.75 million, which is expected to rise to CHF 17.73 million by 2028. For context: naoo is currently valued at around EUR 27 million on the stock market. to the GBC study

    D-Wave: Soon to hit USD 20?

    D-Wave Quantum has shown just how quickly a tenfold increase can happen. It took less than a year for the quantum high-flyer. The Company is now worth an impressive USD 4.6 billion on the stock market. Is there more to come? "Yes," says Cantor Fitzgerald. Despite increased price volatility and a noticeable setback last week, they are clearly optimistic.

    Cantor Fitzgerald recently added D-Wave to its coverage. The analysts recommend the technology stock as "Overweight" and see its fair value at USD 20. The stock is currently trading at around USD 15. Analysts believe that quantum computing is still in its infancy but offers enormous potential. D-Wave is delivering impressive growth rates, more than doubling its revenue year-on-year. Overall, the valuation is ambitious in the short term, but the long-term potential of quantum computing justifies this.

    Hensoldt: Sell instead of Buy?

    Analysts are divided when it comes to Hensoldt. What is clear is that the stock of the radar systems and other defense electronics provider has quickly recovered from its consolidation phase. The stock is currently trading at EUR 103, not far from its all-time high of around EUR 109. For context: at the beginning of the year, the share price was still just under EUR 34.

    Yesterday, Deutsche Bank raised its target price significantly. Analysts believe that Hensoldt is strategically well-positioned. Due to its focus on the German defense market, the Company should benefit from possible budget increases and new defense projects. They therefore continue to recommend Hensoldt shares as a "Buy" and have raised their target price from EUR 62 to EUR 111.

    Jefferies points out one risk. The analysts refer to the European air combat system, FCAS. As is almost always the case with European defense projects, there are strong political interests at play here. France, in particular, wants to give preference to its domestic industry. This could be to the detriment of Hensoldt. Jefferies' price target for Hensoldt shares is only EUR 60. Therefore, they consider the stock to be an "Underperformer".


    Social media, quantum computing, and defense are industries of the future. With its AI approach, naoo could become a European alternative to the large networks. Then, a multiplication should be possible. The consolidation at Hensoldt, RENK, and Rheinmetall came to a quick end. Perhaps too quickly? D-Wave still appears to be the core investment in the field of quantum computing.

    Analysts See Multibagger Potential: Nordex, Evotec and Aspermont

    Analysts see multibagger potential in Aspermont's stock. The Australian company appears to be making good progress in its transformation from a specialist publisher into a scalable provider of data and analytics for the global resources industry. The stock has yet to take off. Its 2028 P/E ratio is below 10. Nordex is no longer a bargain. Analysts see further growth opportunities, but the stock has already priced in much of that potential. Nevertheless, analysts recommend buying the shares. The US business is becoming increasingly important. Buying Evotec shares is not an obvious choice right now. The stock has fallen below EUR 3, while positive company news is being ignored by the market. Could this perhaps be an opportunity?

    Broadly speaking, the stock market in Germany, as well as across Europe and globally, is currently under considerable pressure. Two wars in Iran and Ukraine, along with discontent in Germany with the current government, are weighing on markets. In other words, the stock market is under significant strain. The major indices are at or near critical technical levels. Puma, for example, is struggling with margins, while analyst price-target cuts and an upcoming change in the company's head of sales are adding pressure. Novo Nordisk, meanwhile, is facing regulatory headwinds and increasing competition in the US despite rapidly growing future markets in the obesity segment. Volatus Aerospace, by contrast, is raising hopes of a rebound with new government contracts for tactical reconnaissance drones. A technical breakout could make the stock an interesting candidate for strong performance. Read on to learn why Puma still requires plenty of patience, which billion-dollar investments are supporting Novo Nordisk's pipeline, and how investors could potentially take advantage of an entry opportunity in Volatus now.

    Tanks, Ships, and Ammunition: How Rheinmetall, Renk, thyssenkrupp, TKMS and Power Metallic Mines Can Make Your Portfolio Bulletproof

    Geopolitical upheavals are throwing global markets into turmoil and forcing investors to rethink their strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear: The European defence industry is heading toward a massive wave of market consolidation. However, disillusionment is setting in among the defence industry's former high-flyers following the initial hype, as the internal work required for integration is far from complete and operational potential has been overestimated. Completely detached from this trend is the Essen-based maritime division, which has secured a front-row seat thanks to a government deal worth billions. A massive fleet order is injecting a whole new dynamic into the sector. Naturally, strategic raw materials are also taking centre stage, since without them, not a single tank can roll, or a single ship can be launched. In this segment, the wheat is currently being separated from the chaff, as concrete facts and proven reserves far outpace utopian dreams of the future. Investors who want to profit from this tension and build a crisis-proof portfolio must now spread their risks extremely wisely across the globe.
