The Chancellor sees the Russian threat! Rearming with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Strategic Resources and TKMS
Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz sees measures against the Russian threat as his top priority. Despite widespread concern, many German citizens would have preferred a more economically minded, progressive stance from the CDU. Yet the international defence industry can already celebrate the next upward wave, as the overall situation continues to guarantee robust growth. Finally, a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, as the spark had not really spread to the armaments sector since autumn 2025. But can the charts still be salvaged? Sector leader Rheinmetall has corrected more than 50% from its peak and has already had to backtrack operationally. Nevertheless, CEO Papperger repeatedly steps in as a share buyer, most recently at the end of September near the year's lows. Is this already the turning point? Time for an update on a closely watched sector.

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.

Sell Hensoldt? Copper at Record Highs! Power Metallic Mines Set to Benefit; Nordex Keeps the News Flow Coming!
Supply concerns are colliding with growing demand driven by power grids, electrification, and the expansion of AI infrastructure. This is pushing copper prices to record highs. One potential beneficiary with catch-up potential is Power Metallic Mines. The Canadian company is developing a world-class project with a high copper content. Analysts and the CEO believe the stock is undervalued. The latest resource estimate impressed, and the project's potential is likely even greater. Hensoldt, by contrast, offers no further upside, according to analysts. They question the company's long-term growth prospects and believe its valuation premium over Renk and Rheinmetall is not justified. Nordex is also considered ambitiously valued. However, the German wind-turbine maker continues to generate fresh share-price momentum through a steady stream of news.

Drone Attack in Germany: Pressure on NATO Mounts! Rheinmetall, Volatus, Hensoldt and DroneShield in the Spotlight
The attempted attack using an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig Airport marks a new level of escalation in hybrid warfare in Europe. Following weeks of intensive investigations by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, the German government has now officially identified the Russian intelligence service as the mastermind behind the sabotage operation. This targeted attack on critical infrastructure serves as a massive international wake-up call to NATO partners. In Brussels, the Alliance is calling for a significant strengthening of collective deterrence and defence capabilities against such covert operations. From an investor's perspective, such incidents create a new selling point for the defence industry and specialist defence companies. Hensoldt, a specialist in sensor technology and airspace surveillance, is facing rapidly rising demand for seamless detection systems. At the same time, defence giant Rheinmetall is coming into focus for its role in establishing far-reaching, active defence architectures at airports and military bases. When it comes to high-tech equipment for drone defence and surveillance flights, the specialists DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace are once again in the spotlight. The political pressure to close these serious security gaps in airspace as quickly as possible is likely to provide the companies involved with a massive long-term boost. Investors should therefore keep a very close eye on the geopolitical boom in this highly specialized defence segment.

Bombshell, Crash Risk and Buy Recommendation! Hensoldt, D-Wave and HPQ Silicon in Focus!
Major announcement from HPQ Silicon. Together with a partner, the company has secured its first military contract. The partner's batteries performed convincingly in tests and will be integrated into FPV drones for a regiment of the French Army. This should make it easier to secure contracts from NATO countries. Other potential customers are already conducting tests. As a result, HPQ is evolving from a hidden gem into a drone play. By contrast, analysts see more than 30% downside potential for Hensoldt. Compared with Renk and Rheinmetall, the reported order backlog is considered to be of higher quality, but the question is how quickly it can be converted into revenue and profit. In addition, analysts see risks stemming from Hensoldt's dependence on armoured-vehicle programs. D-Wave Quantum, on the other hand, is recommended as a "Buy". Analysts praise its unique strategy, first-mover advantage, and the fact that revenue generation is now beginning to take hold.

Drone Alert Across Europe: Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt and Deutsche Telekom Are Building a Digital Shield
The importance of drones is growing steadily. Their true value increasingly stems from the interplay of data, software, and other services related to their deployment. A modern drone architecture must detect aerial objects, analyze signals, transmit information, prepare decisions, and initiate countermeasures when necessary. While Volatus Aerospace combines drone systems, operational services, training, and—increasingly—software, Hensoldt specializes in sensor technology and military system integration. As a major network infrastructure provider, Deutsche Telekom is also playing an increasingly important role. All in all, this is an exciting and promising investment theme for investors. Which stock has the greatest potential?

Combat Drones and Tungsten: Rheinmetall, Hensoldt and Almonty Industries at the Heart of the Defense Boom
Global defense budgets continue to rise. With the wars in Ukraine and Iran continuing, ammunition stocks and destroyed military equipment must inevitably be replenished. This is benefiting defense companies such as Rheinmetall, as well as sensor specialists like Hensoldt. The trend is reflected in record order books and rising analyst price targets. But without a secure supply of raw materials, absolutely nothing works in the modern defense industry. This is where Almonty Industries enters the picture. The Canadian-American tungsten producer is helping secure Western supply chains. The company has recently delivered another series of positive updates, and while some of the major defense stocks have already reached demanding valuations, an intriguing technical setup is taking shape at Almonty that could pave the way for further gains. We take a closer look at the latest developments at these three companies. Find out why a strategic metal like tungsten could make all the difference—and why those who own or mine it are likely to be among the winners.

Germany in the Crosshairs: Regulations Slow Down Hensoldt and DroneShield – Is Volatus Aerospace Heading for a Boom in Orders?
A threat is increasingly looming over industrial facilities in Germany, keeping European security authorities on edge: drones. While unmanned aerial vehicles could still be dismissed as harmless toys just a few years ago, the targeted surveillance of critical infrastructure using professional drones paints a completely different picture today. In 2023 alone, authorities recorded at least 446 drone sightings over German military sites, while the number of incidents involving critical infrastructure rose to well over 1,000 by the end of 2025, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. When unmanned systems spy on Bundeswehr facilities unnoticed or collect precise data on gas pipelines, caution is warranted—and this was true even before the incident involving a drone loaded with explosives at Leipzig Airport. We explore potential solutions and highlight exciting companies.

Over 200% Upside Potential? Buy Rheinmetall and Zefiro Methane, Sell Hensoldt?
Is Rheinmetall heading back toward EUR 1,900? Analysts have reaffirmed this price target following the quarterly results. The stock was one of the stars of the past trading week, with its price surging by around 10%, supported by a strong order backlog that provides solid earnings visibility. Analysts have also initiated coverage on Zefiro Methane, highlighting the company as an under-the-radar opportunity. Experts anticipate strong growth over the coming years and argue that the stock's forward P/E ratio of 8.5 for the next fiscal year is too low to reflect its prospects. Based on their valuation, Zefiro Methane offers more than 200% upside potential. The outlook for Hensoldt is more cautious. While analysts described the latest quarterly results as solid, they questioned whether the company's exceptionally strong order intake can be sustained over the next several years. Therefore, they believe the valuation is too high and rate the stock a "Sell." Hensoldt shares fell around 5% on Friday.

Helsing IPO in 2027? Hensoldt Expands Drone Partnership as First Hydrogen Eyes Robotics Re-Rating
Could Helsing go public as early as next year? The defence technology company is currently valued at a whopping USD 18 billion. To justify that valuation, Helsing is developing, among other things, the CA-1 Europa autonomous combat aircraft. Hensoldt is supporting this effort, and the partnership was recently expanded. Meanwhile, First Hydrogen is broadening its business model. CEO Balraj Mann increasingly views autonomous systems as a key technology in light of changes in the defence, security, and disaster response sectors. By building in-house AI expertise, the company aims to further develop its UGV program for autonomous navigation, situational awareness, and counter-drone capabilities, while simultaneously expanding its strategy at the intersection of clean energy, mobility, and robotics. If successful, these initiatives could provide the catalyst for a re-rating of the company's shares.
