Defense Industry Under Stress: Bottlenecks at Rheinmetall and Lockheed – Almonty Industries Stands to Reap the Benefits
The war in the Middle East is exposing the vulnerability of the global security architecture. While the US-led coalition's military operations against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury, continue, US President Donald Trump's erratic communication is causing extreme uncertainty among military planners. In rapid succession, reports from the White House oscillate between triumphant declarations of victory, the announcement of American ground troops, and, shortly thereafter, the prospect of peace negotiations. This unpredictability collides with an alarming reality: even the arsenals of the world's greatest military power are emptying at a rapid pace. The massive use of precision weapons starkly reveals that the global arms industry is simply not equipped for intense wars of attrition or a further escalation of global tensions following the collapse of the existing world order. The real bottleneck in the arms industry is not a lack of government budgets, but the critical raw materials at the beginning of the supply chain. As a result, the market for tungsten and the producer Almonty Industries are coming into focus for investors. A unique opportunity beckons.

Modern Warfare: Can Volatus Aerospace Compete with Industry Leaders Rheinmetall and DroneShield?
The defense industry has been booming for years - that is hardly news anymore. In 2025, global defense spending reached USD 2.63 trillion. In their latest studies, analysts at Forecast International predict that this annual spending will rise slightly by the end of 2026 and reach USD 2.9 trillion by the end of the decade. At the NATO summit in The Hague in 2025, the Allies committed to increasing their defense spending to 5% of gross domestic product by 2035, with 1.5% specifically earmarked for innovation. In a report, McKinsey highlights the shift from platform-centric hardware toward software-defined warfare and cost-effective, replaceable mass-produced systems. While industry giants like Rheinmetall still rely heavily on traditional defense equipment, DroneShield is addressing the growing niche of drone defense. Volatus Aerospace is leveraging its long-standing civilian expertise with drones and is coming into focus as a supplier to NATO forces.

Security, Defense, and Power: How Rheinmetall, DroneShield, and NEO Battery Materials Are Revolutionizing Defense Logistics
The geopolitical tensions of recent years have brought a fundamental truth to light. Security is not just a matter of tanks and soldiers, but increasingly a race for technological superiority. While established, large companies like Rheinmetall are securing record orders and DroneShield is trying to secure the skies above our heads, a third player is quietly moving into the center of power: NEO Battery Materials. Today, it is no longer just about who builds the best drone, but also about who keeps it in the air the longest and most efficiently. In a world where conflicts like those in Iran or Ukraine are decided by autonomous systems, traditional armaments and state-of-the-art battery technology are merging into a single entity. We take a look behind the scenes of an industry that offers completely new opportunities for investors right now.

Ammunition shortages pressure the defense industry: Opportunity for Almonty, challenges for General Dynamics and Rheinmetall
Our global security architecture has been undergoing significant disruptions for some time. The decades-long paradigm of the peace dividend, built on global supply chains and reduced stockpiles, has largely collapsed. The defense industry now faces the challenge of establishing reliable supply chains for critical raw materials in order to meet the growing demand for artillery ammunition and heavy weapon systems. Another driver is the war in Iran. According to a report by the Financial Times, the conflict has decimated US ammunition stockpiles to such an extent that the Pentagon is already warning of shortages of certain munitions. To replenish these inventories, the US government is planning a supplemental budget of around USD 50 billion. In this environment, the US defense contractor General Dynamics is helping maintain the operational readiness of NATO partners through production of ammunition, while Rheinmetall, as a European systems provider, is also expanding its capacities. However, the crucial foundation for this production is the critical metal tungsten. The only significant Western supplier, Almonty Industries, therefore plays a key role - potentially opening up unique opportunities for investors.

Nearly 50% upside potential: Rheinmetall, RENK, and Standard Uranium
Buying opportunities are emerging here. After the muted market reaction to the annual results, analysts see a buying opportunity in RENK. According to their estimates, the stock could offer almost 50% upside potential, although there are also more cautious voices. Rheinmetall, too, failed to fully convince the market with its 2025 results and outlook. Given the current valuations, investors appear to be expecting more. In contrast, uranium stocks may be presenting fresh entry opportunities. Driven by the AI boom, industry leaders such as Cameco have already performed strongly. Exploration companies, however, could still have significant catch-up potential. Standard Uranium is pursuing a risk-diversified strategy. The company is exploring a broad portfolio of projects near major players such as Fission Uranium, NexGen Energy, and F3 Uranium. A new drilling program scheduled to begin this month could trigger a revaluation of the stock.

Defense, oil, and turbulent times - Silver at USD 150? Investors eye Airbus, Silver Viper, OHB, Rheinmetall, and RENK
The turbulence in the markets is no coincidence. It is not only the extremely aggressive foreign policy of the US President that is pushing other countries into a corner. Direct interventions in foreign state systems are also shifting power balances and global supply chains. China has long since responded to this form of imperialism by terminating international trade agreements for critical metals. With oil prices suddenly surging, new geopolitical issues are naturally coming to the fore, placing both East and West in a difficult position once again. Major oil suppliers in the Middle East are currently unable to meet their production quotas, while Russia remains under sanctions. This leaves the United States and Canada as the primary alternatives - a windfall for producers in those countries, who can now ramp up production at full speed. Silver also appears to have reached a crucial point. The large short positions from January have likely been covered, but industrial demand is now skyrocketing. Investors should therefore take a closer look at promising projects such as Silver Viper, which in the long term could supply customers around the globe.

Running out of ammunition? The key role of Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, and Boeing
The arms industry is facing a severe test amid the war in the Middle East. The enormous consumption of ammunition is pushing already limited Western production capacities to their limits. While the US has raised its defense spending for 2026 to a record level of USD 901 billion, the intense exchange of fire in the Middle East and the use of modern defense systems are depleting stockpiles at a record pace. In this environment, the critical semi-metal antimony is becoming a focus of national security. The element is irreplaceable as a hardening agent for lead alloys in armor-piercing projectiles and for high-precision infrared sensors. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the global supply situation is becoming increasingly tense. This is mainly due to strict export restrictions imposed by China, which dominates global mining with a market share of just under 60% and has long used the metal as a strategic weapon. To guarantee defense capabilities, industry giants such as Rheinmetall and Boeing must ramp up their production. The problem is that raw materials are finite. This is where players such as Antimony Resources come into play, securing the coveted antimony in Canada.

900% price increase and only a P/E ratio of 10! Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and Almonty Industries in focus
Can a stock still be cheap after a 900% increase in 12 months? Looking at the current analyst estimates for Almonty Industries, the answer is "yes." Analysts are therefore raising their price target significantly and recommending the tungsten producer as a "Buy". They expect revenue and profits to explode starting this year. In contrast, investors in Rheinmetall and Hensoldt are slowly losing faith in the supercycle. Both stocks are languishing this year. Even the war in the Middle East is unable to give defense stocks a boost. Yet Rheinmetall has exactly the products in its portfolio that are so urgently needed: relatively inexpensive drone defense systems. The US is slowly running out of expensive interceptor missiles. Hensoldt recently reported a record order backlog, but investors are disappointed with revenue and profit growth. Could a takeover provide new momentum for the stock?
