As is well known, there is, of course, no universal rule for stock market success. Successful investors have their own strategies, which often sound very simple at their core. Commodities legend Jim Rogers summed it up with a straightforward formula: investors should simply be aware of supply and demand. Currently, this means that stocks like Almonty Industries rank among the favorites due to the prevailing market conditions. The same applies to defense stocks. But opportunities also exist in stock picking – here, it is worth taking a closer look at the beaten-down Gerresheimer.

    Almonty Industries: Strategic tungsten player

    The Canadians are on the verge of starting tungsten production at the Sangdong mine in South Korea. This will soon make the Company the largest tungsten producer outside China. From a timing perspective, the shares have become even more attractive following the recent price correction. The stock, which is also listed on the NASDAQ, is currently trading at around CAD 9. The 2027 P/E ratio is approximately 15, which is not high given the projected dynamic earnings growth.

    Tungsten is classified as a critical raw material due to its great importance across multiple industries and its limited availability. The metal is indispensable in high-tech, industrial and defense applications due to its unique properties, including hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance. Especially in times of geopolitical tension and amid China's export restrictions, Almonty is sitting on a treasure trove.

    Almonty already has a wealth of valuable expertise at its disposal. The Company has many years of experience in the construction and operation of tungsten mines, gained from projects in Portugal, among others. In addition to tungsten, the Sangdong property also contains molybdenum deposits, for which Almonty aims to define an economic resource.

    Almonty is making a strategically smart move by relocating its headquarters to the US. This move will make Almonty the only major US-based tungsten producer, without moving actual production, but with clear political and economic ties. The United States and defense companies will thus gain a reliable partner for critical raw materials. The Company already has numerous long-term offtake agreements in place that guarantee minimum prices for tungsten production.

    Another potential growth driver for the stock, and a new chapter in terms of expansion dynamics, could be the acquisition of projects located in the US, which the Company is reportedly considering. The combination of a unique mining project, increasing demand for critical raw materials, and a forward-looking strategic positioning makes Almonty Industries an exciting investment in a segment of growing geopolitical and economic relevance.

    Gerresheimer – Successful bottoming out

    The shares of the heavily shaken Gerresheimer appear to have successfully bottomed out around EUR 26. After numerous profit warnings and an investigation by the German Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), the negative news flow is now apparently priced into the German company's share price. At current prices of around EUR 30, the Company is valued at only EUR 1 billion, half of its revenue. Jeffries recently rated the stock with a price target of EUR 34.10.

    But skepticism is a good breeding ground for rising prices. The latest news has the potential to give the stock a prolonged upward trend. The BaFin audit revealed that the Company had incorrectly recorded around EUR 3 million. This concerned a special form of revenue recognition in accounting. In the so-called "bill-and-hold" method, a sales agreement with a customer is already recorded today, even though the goods have not yet been delivered. Specifically, Gerresheimer incorrectly recorded only 1.5% of consolidated sales, which is considered undramatic. While investors had to pay EUR 70 or more for a share certificate at the beginning of the year, the current level appears attractive.

    TKMS – Experts hesitate

    The thyssenkrupp Group's naval shipbuilding subsidiary TKMS recently made its stock market debut. On the very first day of trading, the shares rose from a price of EUR 60 to EUR 107. Several analysts currently rate the shares as a "Hold", although they emphasize TKMS's good future prospects. The shareholder-friendly distribution policy of paying 30 to 50% of the Company's profits as dividends is also considered a plus. Considering TKMS's dominant market position and the potential boom in orders, investors should not wait too long to get involved.


    Almonty Industries is one of the most exciting stocks in the commodities sector, especially in light of the recent price correction. Its tungsten project is first-class and promises substantial profits. At Gerresheimer, the Sword of Damocles wielded by BaFin is now history. The moderate valuation should lead to a gradual rise in the share price. TKMS benefits from a dominant market position, and new orders are expected to have a positive impact on the stock price soon.

    Up and down: Doublers and halvers among themselves! BYD, VW, DroneShield, and Power Metallic

    And once again, it is full steam ahead. While last year saw a sunny scenario in terms of returns for AI, defense, and silver stocks, these sectors are performing even better in the new year. Rumors of a physical silver shortage have now been confirmed by futures exchange warehouses. This could mean that the "one-way movement" in strategic metals will continue. Rumor has it that the shortages may even be spreading to a range of industrial metals. As the world's largest producer of these raw materials, China is tightening export controls and redirecting resources toward its domestic industry. Much of this is still unconfirmed, but the recent price explosion to over USD 12,000 for copper speaks volumes. Investors would be well advised to diversify their allocations to be ready for the most important developments!

    Strong tailwind for defense stocks – New buy signals for Antimony Resources, Hensoldt, and Steyr?

    Defense stocks are the focus of investor interest at the beginning of the year. The chances are good that defense stocks will now quickly iron out the dip in prices caused by profit-taking in the past quarter and surge toward historic highs. The environment is also favourable for (prospective) producers of critical raw materials that are urgently needed by industry, such as Antimony Resources. The escalation of the conflict between the US and Venezuela has added fuel to the fire. Trump is now also threatening Colombia. In addition, disillusionment is setting in regarding the hoped-for peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine. How can investors take advantage of this situation?

    Alternative to Barrick Mining and Equinox Gold: Why Maduro's fall could drive gold prices higher and make LAURION Mineral a strategic target

    The 2026 stock market year is beginning with a geopolitical earthquake whose tectonic shifts will be felt across global commodity markets for a long time to come. The direct intervention of the United States in Venezuela and the effective removal of President Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global security architecture virtually overnight. While Washington celebrates the move as a necessary restoration of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, geopolitical rivals Beijing and Moscow are responding with sharp rhetoric and brusque diplomatic protests. Uncertainty is spreading like wildfire – from the shores of Cuba, where the regime fears for its survival, all the way to Greenland, where major powers are increasingly competing aggressively for strategic spheres of influence. With gold already rising for months amid mounting uncertainty and monetary policy concerns, investors continue to flee to the safe haven. However, while established producers such as Barrick and Equinox absorb the first wave of panic-driven inflows, strategic investors are turning their attention to the few remaining safe jurisdictions such as Canada. Here, specialized explorers like LAURION Mineral Exploration hold precisely the kind of assets that are becoming the most valuable currency in an uncertain world.
