Raw materials are the key to new technology. Whether silver, copper or other metals - many technologies, such as electric cars and solar panels, drive demand for metals. As these technologies triumph, so does the demand for raw materials. Using three stocks as examples, we explain how investors can profit.

    JinkoSolar: Where will it go from here?

    The JinkoSolar share is a real hot potato - in a positive sense! In the past three months alone, the stock has climbed by an impressive 47%. The reason is the great demand for solar modules and the good products of JinkoSolar. The Company scores high on both durability and efficiency. Both are points that are important to potential buyers of solar modules. The third factor is price. Here, too, the world market leader JinkoSolar is perfectly positioned. We remember the price war around solar modules about ten years ago. At that time, more and more German companies slid into bankruptcy. The reason: The Chinese were simply cheaper. At the end of this price war and the concentration of suppliers in Asia, JinkoSolar is the winner.

    With demand for solar panels continuing to grow, the Company is perfectly positioned. Despite the recent price gains, the stock still has some room to run. From EUR 55, however, the value could increasingly encounter resistance. Whether JinkoSolar will reach the EUR 74.10 mark from last year again so quickly is questionable. The Company is well-positioned, but the stock is also known for its volatility.

    Barsele Minerals: A plan - 18 months to go

    Barsele Minerals is another volatile stock. The Company partnered with mining giant Agnico Eagle to develop the Barsele project in Sweden. Barsele holds 45% of the project and Agnico Eagle 55%. A letter of intent now allows the young Company from Canada to take over the entire project. Barsele would have to raise CAD 45 million, and Agnico would have to sign over a 14.9% stake in its shares. In addition, there would be options to buy a further 6 million shares at CAD 1.25 per share. Agnico Eagle believes in the project's success and is convinced that it is better off with Barsele Minerals. The young Company plans to drill 30,000 meters over the next 18 months and upgrade the project to make it easy for Barsele to finance the complete takeover.

    The Barsele project represents promising gold deposits within an attractive infrastructure in northern Sweden. Sweden itself is a sought-after mining location and shines with corporate taxes of only 22%. In addition, the high environmental standards of the country meet the desire of many investors for sustainably mined raw materials. Since Agnico Eagle has entered into a letter of intent, which provides for a large part of the payment for the project in shares of Barsele Minerals, investors can take this as a sign of confidence. Currently, the stock is trading at CAD 0.75. There is still a lot of air until the exercise price of the options to be granted to Agnico Eagle with a strike price at CAD 1.25. Key data around Barsele looks promising. Investors should have the value on their radar.

    Newmont: Is Europe becoming attractive for the giant?

    Investors always have the Newmont share on their radar. The world's largest mining group generates around three-quarters of its sales with gold. In addition, there is a lucrative copper business. Newmont has benefited from rising commodity prices in recent quarters. Although the dividend yield is only around 2% and the share price potential is also limited for a big ship like Newmont, the share can be a solid addition to a portfolio for cautious investors. Since the Company has also been working on its costs recently, Newmont should be able to ride out fluctuations in the commodities market.


    Since companies like Newmont always have to replace their mined raw materials, the Company could even play a role in the constellation between Barsele Minerals and Agnico Eagle. Currently, the giant is not yet represented in Europe. As a promising project in a sought-after mining destination, Barsele Minerals could attract the interest of other majors. JinkoSolar, on the other hand, is not a takeover candidate. First, the Company itself is well-positioned, and second, it is already expensive. It is more likely that JinkoSolar will use its shares as a takeover currency.

    Gold boom as an enormous price lever for explorers like Desert Gold Ventures! In or out of Barrick and First Majestic Silver?

    In recent weeks, gold and silver prices have reached new all-time highs. Silver in particular has seen a sharp increase in volatility at these elevated price levels. US investment banks remain bullish and forecast a gold price of at least USD 4,900 by year-end. Gold continues to serve as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions, high government debt, and declining purchasing power. In addition, strategic purchases by central banks are on the rise. Taken together, these factors create a favorable environment for precious metals and producers. Last year, the shares of mining operators such as Barrick and First Majestic outperformed precious metal prices. It is characteristic of a later phase of a bull market that investor preferences shift toward explorers such as Desert Gold. We take a closer look at three industry representatives and their potential.

    Gold rush without toxins: Why Newmont and Equinox are under pressure, and RZOLV Technologies could become the key stock of the new super cycle

    Gold is back on the big stage. Driven by geopolitical hot spots, structural weakness in the US dollar, and the insatiable appetite of central banks, the precious metal is racing from one all-time high to the next. But while prices are rising, the situation for mine operators is deteriorating: dependence on highly toxic cyanide is becoming more and more of a problem. Environmental regulations are becoming stricter, approval procedures are dragging on for decades, and social resistance is blocking billion-dollar projects. The technology company RZOLV Technologies is positioning itself in this area of tension between record prices and ecological dead ends. While industry giants such as Newmont and Equinox Gold are looking for ways to secure their production in a sustainable manner, RZOLV is providing the long-awaited technological answer: gold extraction that does not require any toxic chemicals and thus has the potential to reshuffle the cards in global mining.

    Nordex shares unstoppable! Sell Hensoldt? Gold gem Kobo Resources with takeover speculation!

    Nordex shares continue their strong momentum in 2026, rising nearly 10% in just a few trading days. Investors are responding to the wind turbine manufacturer's strong year-end performance with heavy buying, prompting analysts to raise their price targets. In contrast, sentiment on Hensoldt is more cautious. Analysts recommend selling, citing a lack of fundamental support for the recent price gains and warning of rising competitive pressures. Meanwhile, gold has shrugged off recent selling pressure and is marching back toward USD 4,500. Gold explorer Kobo Resources stands to benefit from this trend. In a recent interview, the CEO expressed optimism and even mentioned the possibility of a takeover. The question for investors: Is now the right time to buy?
