Winners in the tariff quake: Renk, Nel ASA, Almonty – China attacks US defense industry
The tariff quake on the stock markets continued yesterday. For companies like Nike and the German automotive industry, the extent of the consequences is still unclear. However, there may also be winners. Tungsten producer Almonty emphasized yesterday that its defense-critical raw material is exempt from tariffs. In addition, China is tightening its controls on the export of critical raw materials. This makes Almonty shares even more attractive. Is a NASDAQ listing the next surprise? The effects of the tariffs are also likely to be manageable for RENK. The transmission manufacturer for tanks and other military vehicles has excellent business prospects here in Europe. The share was again recommended as a "Buy". Hydrogen could also benefit, as it helps diversify Europe's energy supply. Can Nel ASA benefit from this? A study shows that more investment in electrolysis capacity is needed in Europe.

RENK – The armaments hype is waning. First Phosphate and Volkswagen are taking advantage of the upswing in electromobility!
The demand for armaments stocks is waning. Despite record orders for tank transmissions from the RENK Group and global security investments, the defense boom is flattening out - partly because these stocks have become fundamentally expensive. At the same time, electromobility is gathering pace: The EU predicts a 38% increase in the number of electric vehicles registered in 2025, driven by Germany's planned tax breaks and subsidies for hybrids. This surge requires raw materials to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is where First Phosphate comes into play. Meanwhile, Volkswagen is currently exploring the production of military vehicles, but is also pushing into the market with new electric vehicles and charging systems. Investments for the future should flow into green technologies, not tank production.

300% price rocket or hydrogen high flyer! Renk, Nel ASA, and dynaCERT
Another 30% upside with Renk shares? Analysts believe the defense company has room to grow. However, they are largely alone in this view, and the share price has already performed well. The situation is different for dynaCERT. The cleantech company is recommended as a "Buy" with 300% upside potential. With a German top management team, revenue is expected to multiply in the coming years, making the stock look like a bargain at current levels. Meanwhile, the Nel share appears cheap on the surface. However, the euphoria over Samsung's entry was short-lived, and a potential military order has failed to spark momentum. Was the market reaction justified?

Big Short on defense? Long in gold! Caution with Renk, Deutz, and Airbus - Revaluation for Desert Gold imminent
After a record quarter on the stock markets, caution is now called for. Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the growing national debt is fueling the rising prices. This will worsen the situation for growth stocks, particularly, as hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak in the short term. Defense stocks have soared on the back of the government's trillion-dollar check, with heavenly balance sheet figures expected for them in the future. In the short term, however, they have already priced in the year 2030 in their share prices, which will result in a slowdown in the current 2025. In this environment, gold can no longer be held back because when currencies offer less and less purchasing power, precious metals are in demand. We take a critical view of Renk, Steyr, and Airbus. For Desert Gold, the boosters should ignite soon!

Another 200% price gain with Renk, thyssenkrupp or Almonty Industries?
Defense stocks are off to a strong start in the new trading week, with price targets continuing to rise. However, Rheinmetall and Co. seem to have run a little hot. It is worth taking a look at the second tier or along the value chain. Almonty Industries, for example, offers a buying opportunity with a single-digit P/E ratio and, according to analysts, an upside potential of over 200%. The tungsten producer is on the brink of a golden era. Its raw material is not only used in the latest generation of anti-aircraft ammunition but is also essential for countless products in the military and civilian sectors. As a result, the world's largest producer, China, is increasingly using export restrictions as a "weapon". thyssenkrupp has also been able to benefit from its defense division in recent weeks. The IPO is taking shape, and the government may purchase shares. And what is Renk doing? The transmission manufacturer has reported a major order in the US, and the target price is rising sharply.

AGAINST THE SELLOFF: Renk "reloading", Barrick Gold positive, Desert Gold share set to multiply?
Safe havens like gold and armaments? Although the gold price was initially unable to benefit from Monday's selloff, buy recommendations are piling up in the sector. Analysts believe that Desert Gold's share price could multiply. Currently, the stock is still valued using a worst-case scenario, even though the reality in West Africa has improved significantly. Barrick Gold is also benefiting from this, with UBS recommending buying and expecting gold production to increase. Could an acquisition of Desert Gold play a part in this? Despite the massive price increases in recent weeks, defense stocks are holding up well in the selloff. For Renk, analysts are raising the price target, suggesting that the stock could rise further.

Renk Group, Almonty Industries, Hensoldt – NATO calls for an arms race!
In a world where geopolitical fires are shaking the global security architecture, an industrial arms race is forming behind the scenes. While NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week once again emphasized the "urgent need" for accelerated arms production – from drones to satellites – European states are setting record sums in motion: Germany is loosening its debt brake for a EUR 500-billion special fund, and the EU is planning military loans of 150 billion. But who will benefit if Europe wants to reduce not only its defense budgets but also its dependence on US arms deliveries? Three companies are in the spotlight whose stocks have long been surfing in the wake of the arms race. Where is it worth getting in?

Attention: IPO fever, now it's really starting! Hensoldt, Power Metallic, Renk, and thyssenkrupp
Before the election and after the election. At the beginning of the year, there was still a fight over the debt brake, but with the US pulling out of Ukraine aid, it seems that anything goes. Last week, in addition to an ECB interest rate cut, an EUR 800 billion package for armaments and infrastructure was proposed. This caused the DAX 40 index to surge, especially defense and construction stocks, which gained an average of 30%. Hensoldt and thyssenkrupp even made a giant leap upwards. The new all-time high for the index is now 23,475 points. Could there be an IPO from Essen soon? The probability for TKMS is increasing. However, it remains to be seen whether the significant premiums are sustainable; on Friday, there were initial sell-offs. Our specialty title, Power Metallic (formerly Power Nickel), continued to rise. We are looking into the crystal ball.

100% RALLY! And now? Renk, Salzgitter, and AppLovin partner MiMedia
Can it continue to go up after a 100% rally? There is a lot to suggest that the still largely unknown MiMedia stock could keep going. The cloud pearl is on the verge of a revenue leap and is relying on AppLovin to monetize its cloud services – itself an AI highflyer but now overvalued. MiMedia, on the other hand, wants to start scaling in the current year. Salzgitter caused a stir on Wednesday with a share price jump of over 15%. Even though profits were taken yesterday, analysts see further upside potential for the stock. Could a revaluation be possible? There are good reasons for profit-taking after Renk's 10% rally this year, but the stock wants to keep rising. Deutsche Bank recommends buying, but there is a big catch.

Almonty Industries, Hensoldt, and Renk Group: Strategic moves for Europe's strength
Global tensions and dynamic US politics are driving Europe's security efforts. Companies like tungsten producer Almonty Industries and defense contractors such as Hensoldt and Renk Group are moving to the center of this geopolitical chess game. Almonty has a unique opportunity to break China's tungsten monopoly with its Sangdong mine in South Korea. This presents a glimmer of hope for companies like Rheinmetall, which require hundreds of tons of tungsten yearly to continue to meet the demand for armaments. The German radar technology company Hensoldt has already seen its share price rise by 20% since plans for a multi-billion-dollar defense fund were announced. Renk Group supplies the drives for Europe's rearmament: With a "Ba2" rating from Moody's, the transmission manufacturer benefits from the NATO boom and US expansion. Between geopolitical pressure, commodity risks, and political hurdles, peaceful coexistence is at stake. Who has a strategic advantage for the next move on the global playing field?
