The drone revolution has only just begun. In Ukraine, remote-controlled aircraft have become a game changer in modern warfare. Defense is just one of many industries being disrupted by drones equipped with the latest camera technology and AI. These all-rounders can transport goods to remote areas, inspect buildings and bridges for structural damage, and even act as aerial fire extinguishers during high-rise fires. One insider tip in this billion-dollar market is Volatus Aerospace. The Canadian company offers numerous services - from drone pilot training to surveillance - and generates recurring revenue streams. The latest capital increase was oversubscribed and should give the stock fresh momentum. Analysts forecast that revenues will soon exceed CAD 80 million and are issuing a "Buy" recommendation for the stock.

    Volatus Aerospace: Winner of the drone revolution

    Volatus Aerospace was founded in 2018 and offers a wide range of services related to training, reconnaissance, and cargo transport with its fleet of drones, aircraft, and helicopters. The Canadian company's customers come from the government security sector and civilian industries such as oil and gas, energy supply, healthcare, and infrastructure. In 2024, more than 3,000 drone pilots were trained and over 4,000 surveillance flights and 700 transport flights were carried out. After generating revenue of around CAD 27 million in 2024, the figure is expected to reach around CAD 45 million in the current year – and the trend is rising sharply.

    The clear focus is now on drones. These are state-of-the-art aircraft with ultra-HD optics, LiDAR technology, and AI-controlled pattern recognition. They are an efficient alternative to conventional methods, especially for monitoring critical infrastructure – 24/7 and in virtually any weather. Volatus, for example, inspects bridges and pipelines and monitors borders. The aircraft can be equipped with a wide variety of cameras, such as UltraHD and thermal imaging technology.

    AI opens up new possibilities

    Volatus' growth drivers are software and services – more and more of which incorporate artificial intelligence (AI). For example, AI will automate the evaluation of video footage and thermal imaging. Recurring patterns, anomalies, and temperature differences can be detected in real time. This enables the identification of potential danger zones or incidents, allowing for immediate response. As mentioned, the range of applications is vast: borders, military areas, war zones, industrial facilities, buildings, bridges, and pipelines.

    Realignment for geopolitics and NATO billions

    Current geopolitical developments offer Volatus significant growth opportunities in the areas of defense, armaments, and public safety. For example, Volatus can train drone pilots and monitor borders - such as between Canada and the US - and military installations. In order to be a reliable partner in the US and Europe, the Company is currently repositioning itself. Chinese hardware and software are being supplemented by Western suppliers and partnerships are being formed.

    The Company plans to establish a cross-border delivery network with the US drone delivery service DroneUp. The partners complement each other perfectly: DroneUp brings a certified delivery drone system for the US to the table, while Volatus has a Canadian operating license and extensive operational expertise.

    Ondas Holdings is being brought on board to support border and security area surveillance. As part of the partnership, Volatus will market and provide support for Ondas' Optimus system - a fully automated aerial surveillance platform. Manned and remote-controlled aircraft can be combined with ground-based sensors.

    Volatus also sees growth opportunities in Africa, where infrastructure and logistics channels are often lacking. For example, in the areas of long-range, heavy-lift, and medical transport. To this end, the Company is working with hardware manufacturers RigiTech and Dufour Aerospace, among others.

    Analysts recommend buying: Target price CAD 0.32

    Analysts at Ventum Capital Marktes recommend buying Volatus Aerospace shares. The target price is CAD 0.32. The share is currently trading at CAD 0.24 and is now also increasingly traded on German stock exchanges such as Tradegate. Looking at growth expectations, analysts emphasize that their forecasts are conservative. And these conservative estimates are already dynamic. Volatus is expected to generate revenues of around CAD 45 million in the current year, which would be 67% more than in the previous year. After CAD 72.5 million in the coming year, revenues are expected to reach CAD 83.7 million in 2027. Analysts believe Volatus will already achieve a positive operating result (EBITDA) in the current second quarter, with an upward trend. In 2027, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be CAD 10.4 million, free cash flow CAD 5.6 million, and earnings per share CAD 0.01. This results in a P/E ratio of 24 for 2027. This appears to be anything but expensive for a growth company in a billion-dollar market.

    Analysts see upside potential driven by significant contract wins and the opportunity to generate higher-quality recurring revenue from the Company's extensive contract pipeline. The favorable market conditions resulting from rising defense spending are expected to further increase the prospects of a significant outperformance.

    Conclusion: Purchase could pay off soon

    The chances of rising prices for Volatus shares are good. The Company has realigned itself, is growing profitably, and has strengthened its financial base through the recent capital measure. The fact that analysts emphasize that their estimates are conservative shows the upside potential. The stock has jumped in recent weeks but remains a hidden gem. Buying the stock at its current level could pay off soon.

    The race for critical high-tech goods and raw materials is already underway. The COVID-19 pandemic painfully highlighted the downsides of a globally interconnected economy. China's export ban on critical raw materials is currently having a double impact, as the country dominates the market. This effect is expected to continue to intensify in the future as demand continues to rise dynamically while supply increases only slowly. This provides a strong tailwind for raw material producers, but poses significant challenges for companies in other sectors.

    Sufficient access to raw materials is crucial for any economy. The EU has compiled a list of 34 critical raw materials. How critical a raw material is classified depends on two parameters: "economic importance" and "supply risk." This list also includes a little-known but very important metalloid – antimony. The price of antimony skyrocketed at the end of 2024 in the wake of China's export ban. There are still exciting investment opportunities in this area.

    The geopolitical situation continues to escalate, but the stock markets continue to boom! Trade conflicts, sanctions, and military tensions dominate the headlines, but behind the front lines of a new Cold War, another competition has long been raging: the battle for access to critical metals. Without copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, or rare earths, not only would the e-mobility revolution come to a standstill, but defense technologies, digitalization, and the energy transition would also grind to a halt. Supply chains are coming under increasing pressure from geopolitical power games, and the battle for resources is becoming a key strategic factor in a multipolar world order. For Western industrialized nations, security of supply is becoming a matter of survival, and for investors, this is creating new opportunities. Anyone looking for tomorrow's winners today should keep a close eye on the global raw materials poker game.
