Europe steps on the gas! E-mobility and secure supply chains - Avrupa Minerals, BYD, VW, and Stellantis
The stock market year has gotten off to a turbulent start, but a new megatrend is gaining traction: critical metals! While 2025 was dominated by AI and high-tech stocks, raw material suppliers, essential for maintaining industrial competitiveness, are increasingly moving into focus. Over the past 12 months, they have been able to offer investors dream returns in the three- to four-digit range. At the same time, there has been hardly any growth on the NASDAQ since the beginning of the year. Former high-flyers like Palantir, Nvidia, and Strategy are currently trading below their 2025 highs. International commodity stocks dealing with the issue of "Western supply chains" have now moved up the list of top performers. Without strategic metals, the secure production of electrical infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and defense technology is not possible. It is therefore worthwhile for investors to rethink their tech portfolios and add good commodity stocks to their watch lists. Meanwhile, the automotive sector, under pressure for months, could be stabilizing after the sobering results of 2025. We take a closer look at the key players.

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.

Will these stocks now trigger a price surge? BYD, Hensoldt, NEO Battery Materials!
While RENK shares have gained more than 10% in recent days, Hensoldt is treading water. Yet the sensor specialist is shining with major orders. Most recently, partner KNDS ordered systems for the Boxer and Leopard 2 tanks worth hundreds of millions. NEO Battery Materials also appears ripe for a price rally. The technology company offers manufacturers of drones, robots, and electric vehicles exactly what they need: customizable high-performance batteries produced in the West. Production is underway, orders are in place, and the company is already working on the next generation of batteries with strong partners. And what about BYD? The stock is clearly in a downward trend. Yet the company wants to double its sales in Germany and is taking Donald Trump to court in the US.

Stellantis Slumps, BYD Holds Steady, Power Metallic Mines Poised to Soar!
The stock market is not a one-way street. While BYD has established itself as one of the world's largest manufacturers of electric vehicles, Stellantis has had to admit to misjudgments that will lead to write-downs exceeding its current market value. This recently shocked the stock market. By contrast, the outlook for Power Metallic Mines is bright. The Canadians have one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. This asset is valuable to many industrial groups. In times of building strategic reserves of critical raw materials, the company should attract more attention. Well-known investors have already jumped on board, and analysts attest to the stock's potential to double in value.

Breaking news! This innovation is transforming the battery industry – What it means for NEO Battery Materials, DroneShield, and BYD
Artificial intelligence, electromobility, and drones are some of the topics that are highly favoured by investors. However, one crucial link in the chain is too often neglected: powerful, flexible battery solutions from Western industrialized countries. China's dominance must be broken as quickly as possible. With a new generation of cells, NEO Battery Materials could now shake up the market. The potential is huge, but this is not yet reflected in the market capitalization of around CAD 100 million.

BYD sales figures plummet! Power Metallic Mines as the raw materials king and Volkswagen on a transformation course
The electromobility boom is facing its toughest reality: the battle for lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths. While demand continues to rise, access to these critical raw materials will determine the winners and losers of the new era. This supply-side bottleneck confronts three very different players with fundamentally different challenges: the Chinese EV giant BYD in its tense domestic market, the up-and-coming supplier Power Metallic Mines, with its vast source of raw materials, and the long-established automaker Volkswagen, which is deep into a costly transformation. We take a closer look at where each stands today.

Electromobility needs graphite just as much as AI needs energy – a closer look at BYD, Graphano Energy, and Intel
The energy transition will reach a critical point in 2026: storage facilities will become systemically important infrastructure, driven by electromobility and the exploding demand for electricity from AI. This boom is driving demand for high-performance batteries and essential raw materials such as graphite to unprecedented heights. Anyone who wants to identify the structural winners of this megatrend should keep an eye on three key players: e-mobility pioneer BYD, raw materials specialist Graphano Energy, and chip giant Intel.

Geopolitics as an opportunity: How to profit now with BYD, Pasinex Resources, and Rio Tinto
The rules of the global economy are being rewritten. It is no longer market forces alone that determine the course of events, but geopolitical strategies and the battle for critical resources. In this new geo-economy, the ability to assert oneself in a politically driven cycle determines success or failure. Three companies are exemplary on this front line and reveal the concrete opportunities and risks: electric mobility pioneer BYD, zinc producer Pasinex Resources, and mining giant Rio Tinto.

E-subsidy 2.0 and now the boom! Taking off with BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and VW
Now it is official! The German federal government is relaunching its e-subsidy program. Low- and middle-income earners can apply for environmental incentives of up to EUR 6,000 for the purchase of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Annual household income must not exceed EUR 80,000 for households without children, and EUR 90,000 for those with children. Fully electric vehicles will receive a base subsidy of EUR 3,000. What initially sounds like positive news was met with little enthusiasm on the stock market. On the contrary, automotive stocks ended up with a 2 to 3% correction. The reason: the math is a zero-sum game. The German automotive market continues to be dominated by combustion engine technology. Those who take advantage of the EV incentive are simply subsidizing their switch to electric mobility, while at the same time, a new combustion-engine purchase disappears from sales pipelines. Worse still, German manufacturers still do not appear to be competitive with Chinese suppliers. Ultimately, this suggests that foreign suppliers could win the race. Investors should therefore take a close look at where the real private-sector leverage may lie.

Explosive mix: Critical metals and e-mobility! BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Graphano Energy, and RENK in focus
E-mobility in Germany could gain fresh momentum in 2026, as the CDU wing of the federal government is pushing for the reintroduction of purchase incentives for electric vehicles, retroactively including those registered since the beginning of the year. There is still a need for discussion within the SPD due to other issues. German citizens are familiar with the nerve-wracking process of reaching compromises in Berlin, where a new law can only be passed with five other concessions to the coalition partner. This is how grand coalitions work: slowly and tenaciously. Regardless, the public has become accustomed to this carnival event, and for us, stock market traders, it is important to look at the possible effects of such subsidy decisions. According to estimates from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, available funding could support the purchase of up to 800,000 electric vehicles - roughly 1.6% of all registered vehicles in Germany. The planned incentives aim primarily to ease the transition to e-mobility for low- and middle-income households. Do not look a gift horse in the mouth! How are automotive stocks doing on the stock market?
