Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, Lockheed Martin – Tungsten, Defence and a Share Price Decline That Could Open Up Opportunities
Sangdong is producing tungsten again for the first time since 1993. Almonty's South Korean mine is now supplying a raw material from outside China that is urgently needed in defence and is also found in an increasing number of high-tech devices. China's export restrictions have driven up tungsten prices in the West, while demand remains strong. The same is true of defence. On September 14, Rheinmetall booked an order for tens of thousands of artillery shells, while Lockheed Martin announced a framework agreement worth up to USD 1.2 billion for tactical missiles on September 21. Yet the stock market has so far shown little reaction to these developments. All three stocks are under pressure. We therefore take a closer look at Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin.

HPQ Silicon, Rheinmetall and Wacker Chemie: Silicon Batteries for the French Military?
Digitalization is also making its way into the defence sector. This is evident, not least, from developments in Ukraine. Modern communication devices, networked combat operations, and constant data streams are driving up power consumption even among infantry units. Existing graphite-based batteries are reaching their limits, and every additional gram of equipment restricts mobility in the field. Switching to silicon-based anodes promises longer operational times without adding weight. We examine this development and highlight opportunities for investors.

Are These Buying Opportunities? Desert Gold, Rheinmetall and innoscripta in Focus
A gold explorer on the verge of first production, a defense contractor with billions of euros in orders on its books but a declining share price, and a highly profitable software provider facing scrutiny from the tax authorities. These examples show just how diverse the stock market can be. Different industries, different company sizes—but all three are entering a decisive phase. Which developments and milestones should investors be watching now, and where can the best risk-reward opportunities be found?

Tungsten Supply Crisis: Almonty Reshapes Defense Supply Chains – Rheinmetall Needs Reliable Sources, Tungsten West Wins Funding
Requirements from the US Department of Defense are forcing Western industry to rethink its approach to critical raw materials: Starting in January 2027, US procurement regulations will prohibit the use of Chinese-sourced tungsten in tungsten powders, heavy alloys, and defense components manufactured from them, and will require a complete chain of custody traceability back to the mining site. According to the US Geological Survey, China controls about 80% of global mine production and, due to export controls, has recently even become a net importer of tungsten metal and ore. As a result, the defense industry faces an acute supply shortage. Producers outside China are doing everything they can to secure long-term supply chains for Western customers. As a leading tungsten company, Almonty stands out in particular with promising projects and a full pipeline.

Defence Boom Meets Critical Metals: Rheinmetall, Renk, Globex Mining and Hensoldt in Focus
The geopolitical turning point is bringing two sectors to the forefront: defence and critical metals. One cannot exist without the other! Consequently, this fateful alliance has triggered an unprecedented supercycle in the financial markets that extends far beyond the traditional high-tech and defence conglomerates. European defence heavyweights such as Rheinmetall, Renk, and sensor specialist Hensoldt are enjoying historic order backlogs and benefiting from government rearmament programs worth billions. This is now bringing the fundamental basis of this boom sharply into focus for investors. After all, producing defence systems of all kinds depends entirely on a secure supply of strategic and critical metals. However, massive demand for military hardware is clashing with global supply chains under extreme strain from raw material shortages and the accelerating subsidy race in the West. This is where exploration and licensing companies like Globex Mining come into their own—they possess a diversified portfolio of strategic properties in politically stable regions and secure the foundations of industrial independence. Since no modern air defence system or military microchip network can exist without copper, silver, nickel, or rare earth elements, the mining and defence technology sectors are inextricably linked on the stock market. For forward-thinking investors, this symbiosis offers rare leverage.

Full Order Books, Weak Share Prices: Is This a Buffett Opportunity? Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Renk in Focus!
The defense boom is still going strong, but the tide has turned on the stock market. Following the sharp price gains of recent years, investors are becoming more selective. This is evident in Rheinmetall and Renk, whose stocks have come under pressure despite strong long-term demand. Meanwhile, Almonty Industries, a company operating at a different point in the value chain, remains in the spotlight. The South Korean tungsten mine Sangdong has received the green light to begin commercial operations at its processing facilities. Tungsten is considered a strategically important raw material for the defense and high-tech industries, and Almonty aims to position itself as the largest Western supplier in a highly concentrated market. Where are the greatest opportunities now?

A Sensational Development in the M&A Carousel: Rheinmetall, BASF and Lahontan Gold
A sensational development is looming in the German chemical industry. BASF is considering acquiring speciality chemicals company Evonik. The Ludwigshafen-based company would thereby significantly expand its speciality chemicals business. Evonik has reacted cautiously. Analysts have responded positively. But some question marks remain. A small but strategically interesting acquisition is in the works in the gold sector. Lahontan Gold plans to acquire Emergent Metals outright, expanding its position in Nevada's Walker Lane gold district. Is this a move to prepare for a US IPO? Most recently, Lahontan increased its resource estimate and reaffirmed its goal of building a mine next year. And what about Rheinmetall? Its stock has fallen below EUR 1,000 again. The company is working to address its "dependence on the Bundeswehr" and its "old and heavy military equipment."

Operation Vivaldi Is Changing the Nature of Warfare: First Hydrogen Follows Ukraine's Lead and Joins the Arms Race
Modern warfare is changing every week. This is exemplified on the battlefields of Ukraine, where, in recent weeks as part of Operation Vivaldi, heavy drones have deployed remote-controlled kamikaze ground robots more than 10 km behind enemy lines. The processes behind this latest Ukrainian offensive are compressing conventional innovation cycles from years to weeks and days, rewriting the rules of the game for the defence industry. Amid this arms race, significant opportunities are opening up for technology companies that approach innovation with the same drive as Ukraine's startups and its units on the front lines. Those that deliver highly flexible, comprehensive solutions from a single source are likely to lead the drone market of the future. We take a closer look at the latest developments at First Hydrogen.

Drone Warfare Reshuffles the Deck: Rheinmetall Struggles, DroneShield Reinvents Itself and Volatus Aerospace Passes the First Blind Flight
A switch is flipped, and suddenly drones that were once feared lose their bearings. On battlefields around the world, a simple frequency jamming is often enough to disable the GPS navigation systems widely used in drones completely. This situation is forcing the entire drone industry to rethink its approach and is opening up new opportunities. Those who can navigate reliably despite jammers are prepared for the future. We present the latest developments at Rheinmetall, DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace.

Stocks for the Defense and Hydrogen Boom: Steyr Motors, Rheinmetall and dynaCERT
Some industries, and specific companies within them, require closer analysis. That is why today we are taking a closer look at two companies in the defense sector and one in the cleantech/hydrogen sector. Austrian engine manufacturer Steyr Motors is currently grappling with operational headwinds and technical challenges. The German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall is fundamentally on track to set new records, but it is currently hovering at a key price threshold and struggling to break through. The Canadian cleantech company dynaCERT continues to work toward a global breakthrough with its innovative emissions technology. Below, we dive into the balance sheets, margins and future prospects of these three stocks.
