Portfolio Rockets for 2025! Nel ASA, F3 Uranium, Renk, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt in focus
For many investors, this year's stock market felt like a warm rain. High-tech, AI, and defense stocks reached new all-time highs, thus gilding the returns of risk-conscious portfolios. However, even with the DAX 40 index constantly setting new all-time highs, there were only 34% winning stocks in Germany compared to 66% losing stocks. The market's rally has been highly selective, driven by just a few names. This makes it all the more important to identify dormant portfolio risks, regroup, and build a lineup poised to deliver strong returns in 2025. Here are some suggestions to consider.

Technological change and raw materials: Rheinmetall expands virtual training, Almonty plans breakthrough, Intel stumbles
The technology sector is going through turbulent times: the German defense contractor Rheinmetall is setting new standards in military training with virtual reality technology. The simulator, developed in collaboration with Hologate, can generate acceleration forces corresponding to twice the force of gravity. This makes training for military drivers feel incredibly realistic. Away from the tech giants, Canadian mining company Almonty Industries is preparing a strategic coup in South Korea: its Sangdong mine, equipped with state-of-the-art grinding equipment from Finnish company Metso, could soon break China's 80% dominance of the global tungsten market and become an important alternative source for the high-tech and defense industries. Chip giant Intel, on the other hand, is struggling to find its place in the AI boom after the surprising resignation of its CEO. In the third quarter of 2024 alone, the Company recorded a loss of USD 16.6 billion.

Thunder Gold Corp., Amazon, Rheinmetall - Record values for gold, AI and armaments
The technology landscape and the commodities sector are currently showing their most dynamic side. Thunder Gold Corporation is delivering exceptional exploration results in Ontario, Canada. The reported gold grades of 9.12 g/t Au over 12.66 m are not only the strongest in the project's history, but they also indicate a potentially large gold deposit. The project's strategic location, with direct access to important infrastructure, further enhances the potential of this area. Amazon is making a technological breakthrough in the highly competitive AI chip market. With its new Trainium 2 processor, the tech giant is taking a direct shot at market leader Nvidia. The promised fourfold increase in computing power at a significantly lower cost could fundamentally change the balance of power in this billion-dollar market. Rheinmetall is also continuing its growth course. Deutsche Bank is significantly raising its estimate and the target price to EUR 700. The Düsseldorf-based company, which wants to double its sales to EUR 20 billion by 2027, is benefiting from a new major order from Canada worth EUR 215 million.

Additionally, fundamental reports from second-tier companies could significantly influence share prices in the near future.

Western missiles for Russia! A new escalation in the Ukraine conflict hits the trading floors of the stock markets, leading to significant losses for the DAX - dropping 400 points in just 24 hours.

Takeover speculation and momentum: BioNTech, Rheinmetall, Vidac Pharma
BioNTech aims to strengthen its cancer-fighting pipeline by acquiring the Chinese biotech firm Biotheus. The Mainz-based company is laying out up to USD 950 million for the company, which specializes in the development of therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. This is the latest example of takeovers in the cancer sector. Vidac Pharma, with a market capitalization of just over EUR 30 million, appears to be favorably valued. Analysts share this view, as Vidac is working on a revolutionary cancer therapy. While Vidac's share price jumped in the second half of the year, Rheinmetall consolidated. Will the defense stock be able to break out with the tailwind from Trump?

Rheinmetall, 123fahrschule, Freenet – On the verge of a further upward surge
The traffic light is red, and the coalition government formed by the SPD, FDP and the Greens has failed. What remains behind is an ever-weaker economy. Irrespective of this, the German leading index, DAX, is moving towards its all-time high of 19,670 points after a brief dip last week due to the US election. German small-cap companies have also caused a stir in recent days and offer promising entry opportunities at the current level.

Share about to jump? Rheinmetall, JinkoSolar, Almonty Industries
The German government has allocated EUR 1 billion for a new raw materials fund. This will enable the KfW to participate in mining projects in Germany and abroad and secure Germany's supply of critical raw materials. To reduce dependence on China and Russia for tungsten, the state bank provided millions to Almonty Industries a few years ago. The mine in South Korea is nearing completion, prompting a revaluation of the stock. Rheinmetall's recent revaluation showcases the potential for significant stock price increases. Could Almonty be next? Meanwhile, JinkoSolar's stock took a notable hit yesterday, continuing its volatility. What lies ahead?

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, AMD – These stocks have tailwinds
Stocks in certain sectors, particularly the defense industry, tungsten producers, and chipmakers for artificial intelligence, are currently experiencing strong tailwinds. The increasing geopolitical uncertainty and rising defense spending are driving the defense industry.

At the same time, advancements in artificial intelligence are driving demand for specialized chips, which benefits chip manufacturers. These developments are creating attractive investment opportunities as the strategic importance and growth prospects of these industries continue to increase and attract investors.
