A new drone contender: The potential of NEO Battery Materials, DroneShield, and Amprius Technologies
Energy efficiency and defense capabilities are two sides of the same coin. This is especially true in the rapidly growing drone business, where powerful batteries are crucial. While global demand for batteries continues to rise sharply, according to McKinsey's analysis, the military sector is focusing on a highly specialized niche: maximizing energy density while eliminating dependence on Asian supply chains. The US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2026 requires that batteries for the Department of Defense be subject to strict criteria in the future in order to end the influence of rival states. In this environment, Amprius Technologies sets the standard with its enormous energy density for long-range drones (UAS). But there is promising competition with its own advantages: NEO Battery Materials' NBMSiDE technology ensures that the batteries in demand can be manufactured independently of China. The technology, which has only been validated in field tests for a few weeks, is entering a market environment in which drone defense is more important than ever. Although the global market leader DroneShield, with its AI-powered defense solutions, is considered the obvious answer to the new threats, drones are increasingly being countered directly by other drones. In this constellation, NEO Battery Materials is coming into the focus of investors.

Valuation anomaly in the drone sector: Solid returns with Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, and DroneShield
The global security architecture has been facing a turning point since well before the outbreak of the conflict involving Iran. Developments on NATO's eastern flank show that the dominance of heavy weapon systems is increasingly being challenged by low-cost, unmanned aerial vehicles. In this new reality, a drone costing USD 500 can destroy a battle tank worth USD 10 million. This development is forcing the defense industry to rethink its approach. Conventional air defense systems are often overwhelmed by the sheer number and low radar signature of enemy drones. Innovative solutions are needed to detect, assess, and neutralize threats. So-called interceptor drones for the targeted neutralization of hostile aerial targets are becoming the focus of attention for the military and procurement authorities. Hensoldt, DroneShield, and Volatus Aerospace have positioned themselves as innovative solution providers in this highly specialized niche. We show where the most attractive opportunities lie for investors and pay particular attention to an up-and-coming company from Canada.

High volatility, electrifying opportunities! Stellantis, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield on the move
A drop of 1,000 points in the DAX, now that is quite something. It is not surprising that some stocks are no longer stable, but it also shows the relative stability compared to larger volatility swings. Experts refer to this relative market risk as the beta factor. The lower this value, the more stable the stock. In a vulnerable environment of geopolitical upheaval, the impact of operational announcements is also noteworthy. Stellantis, for example, took a 25% hit on less-than-good news of a restructuring, while DroneShield is seeing strong gains due to a collaboration with the Australian Department of Defense. NEO Battery Materials is making steady progress in measurable and scalable ways, and capacities are now being adjusted to handle potential defense orders in the medium term. Extremely exciting!

DroneShield shares explode! Steyr Motors and CHAR Technologies benefit from acquisitions and optimism!
DroneShield's share price has skyrocketed. After a weekend with images of drones over Dubai, Qatar, and other major cities, investors rushed to buy DroneShield shares. The specialist in drone defense had already reported European orders last week, pushing the share up by 20%. Yesterday, the rally continued. DroneShield demonstrates that it is not always the market leaders who make the biggest gains. There are also compelling second-tier companies that can become outperformers. Steyr Motors catapulted itself onto investors' radar in the defense sector in 2025, and now the first acquisitions are being made to accelerate growth. CHAR Technologies could be among the outperformers in 2026. At a recent investor conference, the CEO provided solid reasons for significantly higher share prices. If the company succeeds in commercializing its technology, the stock currently appears undervalued.

New valuation level ahead? How Volatus Aerospace is rising to become a system supplier in the shadow of DroneShield and AgEagle Aerial Systems
The threat to critical infrastructure and national borders is completely reshaping the budgets of Western governments: today's wars are no longer fought with tanks, but with unmanned aerial systems and intelligent surveillance technology. Canada has responded to this reality with a new defense industry strategy that aims to end its dependence on foreign military equipment. The Ottawa government's stated goal is to award 70% of future procurement contracts to domestic companies, thereby creating demand for local producers. In this environment, Volatus Aerospace is transforming itself from a service provider to a systemically important technology producer for national security.

Benefiting from the security and energy transition with high-performance batteries: BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield
Western countries are facing a major challenge. NATO is calling for record defense spending, while electromobility continues to advance unabated. Germany alone will have a defense budget of over EUR 108 billion in 2026, while global demand for high-performance batteries is set to more than double by 2030. This pincer movement of security constraints and the energy transition is overwhelming traditional industries, but it is opening a window of opportunity for specialized technology leaders who master both worlds. In this tense environment, three companies are catching the attention of investors: BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield.

DroneShield responds! Globex Mining steals the show from Barrick Mining and MP Materials!
DroneShield has finally responded. A new COO is expected to boost investor confidence and sales. Will that be enough? Globex Mining is currently being discovered by investors. The mining incubator enables risk-reduced investment in the field of resource exploration. In addition to numerous exciting gold projects, successes have also recently been reported in critical raw materials such as antimony and rare earths. The stock has started the new year strongly, outperforming companies like Barrick Mining and MP Materials. The latter stock is currently showing noticeable weakness, while Barrick was unable to trigger a rally with its actually strong figures for 2025. The next ace up its sleeve is an IPO. But its eternal rival, Newmont, is causing problems.

DroneShield disappoints! Plug Power fights for survival! American Atomics stock poised for an overdue rally?!
Tech analyst Pip Klöckner paints a clear picture for 2026: he expects NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to become the world's most influential energy lobbyist. Without additional, reliable energy, data centers cannot operate - and without data centers, no one will buy NVIDIA chips. Meta is already fully committed to nuclear energy, underlining how critical stable baseload power has become in the AI race. American Atomics stands to benefit from this development. After all, uranium is needed regardless of who builds the nuclear power plants or ultimately wins the AI arms race. Importantly, American Atomics is developing several promising projects directly in the United States. The AI-driven energy boom has also lifted hydrogen stocks in the past, including Plug Power, but the euphoria has faded, and the Copmany is now fighting for survival. And what about DroneShield? The drone defense specialist's shares have taken a sharp hit in recent days. Was the sell-off triggered by the latest quarterly figures, or is something else at play?
