Almonty Industries: Why is the share price set to multiply, and is the supply chain breaking down?
In corporate development, there are various triggers for growth spurts and rising profits. At Almonty Industries (TSX: AII), the reason is clear: the Company will begin operating one of the world's largest tungsten mines in South Korea this summer. While other mining projects often still have to contend with lengthy approval processes or environmental regulations, and often offer little realistic prospect of success, Almonty is on the verge of expanding its production to such an extent that it could meet the entire demand of the US in the future. Those looking to invest in tungsten should go for the "original" – Almonty shares. The situation on the tungsten market is now so tense that the price in Shanghai has risen to a 12-year high of over USD 56 per kg. Accordingly, the profitability of Almonty's mines in Portugal and South Korea is likely to increase further. Uncertain times lie ahead for defense companies such as Hensoldt, Renk, Rheinmetall, and their suppliers. When will the supply chain break down? – More on this in the report.

Stable earnings – These cloud providers make portfolios robust: Apple, Spotify, MiMedia Holdings
Customers come and go. Restaurants have to win over their clientele anew each time. But it is different with digital subscriptions: we are willing to pay for our daily dose of music or our photo archive in the cloud. Even when prices rise, many customers are reluctant to switch to the competition. For companies like Apple, Spotify, and MiMedia Holdings, this creates the ideal conditions for stable earnings and future growth. We take a closer look at the three companies and explain how investors can seize opportunities.

Apple, First Nordic Metals, Barrick Gold - Technology sector meets commodity markets in transition
The global economy is showing its dynamic side at the beginning of 2025. Apple presents strong quarterly figures with record revenue of USD 124.3 billion. The Services division, in particular, stands out with a growth of 14% to USD 26.34 billion. First Nordic Metals Corporation offers high gold exploration potential thanks to its properties in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland. In Mali, West Africa, on the other hand, the leading gold producer, Barrick Gold, is facing further difficulties with the Malian government.

XXIX Metal, Apple, D-Wave - Three beneficiaries of the 500-billion-dollar AI revolution
At high speed, the US government announces the "Stargate" project - a historic USD 500 billion investment in the country's AI infrastructure. The strategic partnership between tech giants such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle will include the construction of 20 state-of-the-art data centres. Initial construction work in Texas has already begun. Tons of copper will be needed to build the infrastructure and data centres, which means golden times are dawning for copper exploration companies. On the one hand, demand for copper is increasing due to rapid technological advances, and on the other hand, analysts say that the price of copper could double this year. Microsoft and Nvidia emphasize the strategic importance of healthcare in the AI deal. This is precisely where Apple has an opportunity for the future. If they manage to make a breakthrough with the Apple Watch in the diabetes market, there is the potential for billions of dollars in profits. D-Wave, a quantum computer manufacturer, also seems to be on the fast track. The Silicon Valley company produces, among other things, energy-efficient AI computing solutions. Music to the ears of investors...

Daimler Truck, dynaCERT, Apple shares - Who are the game changers in the market?
As the demand for consumer goods continues to grow, the number of diesel trucks on the roads is also increasing. Just 1.5 years after laying the foundation stone, Daimler Truck is clearly focusing on commercial vehicles powered by battery and fuel cell technology at its site in Stuttgart-Feuerbach. Until then, bridging technologies will continue to expand. The Canadian company dynaCERT has developed a pioneering method to reduce the environmental impact of diesel trucks and HGVs. With this innovative technology, hydrogen is fed directly into the engines, resulting in significantly lower harmful emissions such as CO₂ and nitrogen oxides. This technology has already been tested worldwide and is considered a decisive step in the fight against climate change in the transportation sector. The technology can also be used in other transportation sectors, such as shipping or mining. And when it comes to the automotive industry, Apple must recognize that not everything the Cupertino-based company touches turns to gold...
