Defence or Artificial Intelligence? On the Hunt for Blockbusters with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Strategic Resources, and TKMS
The market is becoming increasingly concentrated. Despite fresh record highs in July, the number of true winners can almost be counted on one hand. The strongest performers continue to be a select group of high-tech and AI stocks, while semiconductor shares are already beginning to lose momentum. Meanwhile, oil and gas stocks are picking up speed again, while the long upswing in the defence sector that began in 2022 appears to be running out of steam. As a result, many defence companies ranked among the worst-performing stocks during the first half of the year. Now the summer slowdown has arrived, and even a potential interest cut by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is unlikely to lift sentiment. The reason is straightforward: inflation remains stubbornly high, hovering around the 4% mark in the US for an unusually long time. President Donald Trump had hoped that replacing Jerome Powell would pave the way for lower interest rates, but those expectations now appear increasingly unrealistic. Then there is the tariff setback, which is costing US taxpayers another USD 100 billion. In short, the warning signs of a broader market correction are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. For active investors, the only real question is when, not if. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the battered defence sector in search of the next potential blockbuster investment.

Swinging Up and Down – Will 2026 Bring More Record Highs? Rheinmetall, TKMS, Kobo Resources, and Hensoldt
The conflict in the Middle East has intensified once again. Efforts to reach a lasting agreement have so far failed, and a ceasefire based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) proved short-lived. Just days after it was announced, reports of renewed attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and on critical energy infrastructure in the Gulf region have once again heightened geopolitical tensions. For oil prices, this is a bullish factor; for the stock market, it means yet another period of heightened volatility with sharp initial losses followed by recovery rallies. Yesterday, Germany's DAX 40 index climbed back above the key 25,000 mark, while defence stocks that had previously come under pressure moved back into the spotlight. At the same time, gold and silver prices weakened, possibly reflecting renewed liquidity pressures in global financial markets. The evolving market dynamics warrant a closer look.

DAX at 30,000—Unrealistic? Keep an Eye on DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Airbus, and Hensoldt
It has been a long time since global equity markets experienced such a powerful and broad-based bull run. Investors have once again been reminded that geopolitical conflicts do not necessarily trigger prolonged market declines. Instead, they often reinforce expectations of higher defence spending, accelerated technological innovation, and additional government investment. At the same time, public debt continues to climb. Rather than being meaningfully reduced, maturing obligations are typically refinanced by issuing new debt. In the view of many market participants, this ongoing expansion of public borrowing continues to provide liquidity support for financial markets. This trend has persisted since the global financial crisis of 2008. Meanwhile, the influence of major technology entrepreneurs and capital allocators on politics and industry has become increasingly apparent. Figures such as Elon Musk play a far greater role in shaping industrial policy and technological development than would have seemed conceivable only a decade ago. Valuation, however, remains a growing concern. The cyclically adjusted Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 has averaged roughly 17.4 over the long term. At around 39.5, it currently stands approximately 127% above that historical average. That places the market among the most richly valued periods in modern history, exceeded only by the peak of the dot-com bubble in 1999. Whether traditional valuation metrics remain fully applicable in today's AI-driven and highly liquid market environment has therefore become an increasingly debated question among investors.

Why the Antimony Bottleneck Threatens Hensoldt and BASF, and How Antimony Resources Benefits
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The world order is different from before 2022. China is tightening the reins on critical metals. The situation with semiconductor and alloy raw materials in particular calls for action. The strategic semimetal antimony is increasingly becoming a critical bottleneck for Western industry. China's export restrictions - the country controls around 36% of global mine production and around 70% of global antimony refining capacity - have triggered deep uncertainty among European groups in the chemical and defence sectors. The solution is new supply chains and mines in secure jurisdictions. We examine the current situation and present a possible beneficiary.

Rebound and Straight Back Up: Rheinmetall, Renk, Antimony Resources, TKMS, and Hensoldt
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock-market carousel keeps turning. While defense stocks were still on the hit list over the past 5 months, an impressive rebound is now underway. Rheinmetall experienced an outright sellout after a large frigate order was awarded to TKMS. Across the sector, the stocks had to absorb discounts of up to 50% after having risen to hype status in the years 2024 to 2025. Another stock caused a stir yesterday: Antimony Resources! After a 90-day consolidation of nearly 70%, new drill results came in. And lo and behold: not only does antimony lie dormant in the ground, but also plenty of gold. Good for anyone who bought in here over the past few weeks. All four stocks on our list still have some catch-up potential in the tank; we analyze why.

Almonty, Rheinmetall, and Hensoldt: Good Buying Opportunities Among These Three Investor Favourites
The stock market loves big stories. Even better are stories where multiple trends converge at the same time. That is exactly what is happening right now with critical raw materials, defence, and high tech. The West wants to become less dependent on China; Europe is ramping up its military capabilities; and modern defence systems require ever-increasing amounts of specialty materials. Three stocks represent different aspects of this same trend: Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Hensoldt. All three are very popular with investors but have recently had to weather price setbacks. A great opportunity for new investors!

This Investment Scenario Will Last for Years: Tungsten Giant Almonty and the Demand from Hensoldt, RENK, and Others
On January 1, 2027, the US Department of Defense's import ban on tungsten products from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran will take effect. Because tungsten is considered an almost irreplaceable element in defense technology, semiconductors, and the aerospace industry, this ban is creating significant time pressure across these sectors. At the same time, the EU is also tightening requirements for raw material sovereignty with the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). China is exacerbating the situation with export restrictions on dual-use materials. As a result, the global tungsten market is sliding into a severe structural shortage. We take a look at where the opportunities lie for investors—and which companies to watch.

Drones, Data, Defence: Key Developments at Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, and Steyr Motors Offer Significant Upside
Whether for infrastructure inspection, logistics, disaster response, or military applications, unmanned aerial systems are becoming increasingly important and are evolving into a key strategic industry. The drone defence sector is emerging as a future market worth billions. Providers of platforms that integrate hardware, software, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analysis are on the winning side. This includes Volatus Aerospace. Analysts see potential for a doubling of value here. The news from Hensoldt and Steyr should not be underestimated either. Partnerships and new markets are creating major opportunities.

Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, and Rheinmetall: Three Stocks for the New Drone and Defence Boom
After the war comes rearmament. The conflict in the Middle East may be nearing an end—the US and Iran recently signed at least a declaration of intent to end the war at the Palace of Versailles. But this will only temporarily slow down global rearmament, if at all. In the long term, the defence boom will continue worldwide. And the wars of the future will no longer be fought solely with tanks, aircraft, and missiles. Drones, sensors, software, autonomous systems, and electronic defence technology are fundamentally transforming the defence industry. What seemed like a niche topic for specialists just a few years ago has now become a multi-billion-dollar growth market. Governments around the globe want to become more independent, secure supply chains, and modernize military capabilities more quickly. This is precisely what is giving rise to new investment opportunities. Volatus Aerospace is currently particularly exciting for speculative investors; those who prefer a more conservative approach can also add Hensoldt and Rheinmetall to a defence-focused portfolio.
