Today, Nvidia's figures will dominate stock market activity. In the slipstream of the 3,000% stock, there are, of course, other key players such as Rheinmetall and BYD, which have also multiplied in value over the last three years. Both companies reported good figures, but even a stock split at BYD did not help to prevent the downward correction. Almonty Industries raised USD 90 million through a NASDAQ listing and then faced short sellers, who are now starting to tremble. This is because the consolidation appears to be over, and the start of mining operations in South Korea is within reach. The stock market is clearly not a one-way street, especially as AI algorithms increasingly determine trading activity and attempt to mislead inexperienced investors with short-term moves. It is beneficial to maintain a clear head. Here are a few ideas.

    Almonty Industries – The path to expansion is clear

    What a rollercoaster ride! Critical minerals, such as tungsten, have evolved from mere commodities into strategic factors that influence not only prices and supply chains but also geopolitical power relations. Access to these elements is now a key concern for decision-makers in defense, climate policy, and industry. This is because the global supply of tungsten remains tight, with stocks in the US and Europe dwindling while demand in the defense and clean tech industries is rising. China dominates the market, accounting for around 90% of processing, which has led to supply shortages and a 30% price increase since 2023, resulting in a decline in strategic reserves to a historically low level.

    Almonty Industries' Sangdong project in South Korea represents a near-political turning point. For the first time, it offers the Western world a model for how targeted raw material strategies, supply chain diversification, and political alliances can reduce dependence on China. A supply contract is no longer just an industrial or diplomatic decision—it is also a geopolitical signal and a logistical challenge. For the US government, tungsten from allied countries is a shield against supply risks, not just a raw material. Subsidies, tax incentives, and strategic raw material buffers are being used as instruments of foreign policy, as the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act shows. Contracts between Western companies and alternative supplier countries therefore serve not only to secure supply, but also to limit China's influence on strategic metals.

    Added to this are the challenges of the energy transition. Tungsten is indispensable for modern wind turbines, electronics, and energy-efficient technologies. The overlap of climate, industrial, and security goals is driving demand beyond mere market orientation. In a world characterized by geopolitical uncertainty and growing demand for green technologies, transparency is becoming a key resource for governments, companies, and investors alike. Almonty Industries' stock has stabilized after the recent correction surrounding its Nasdaq listing and is now once again in high demand on German stock exchanges. With anchor shareholders Deutsche Rohstoff AG and the Plansee Group, the forces are more on this side of the Atlantic. CEO Lewis Black is proud of this positioning and is now taking the final steps to become a global supplier. Analysts on the LSEG platform attest to the Company's clear valuation trend with price targets of up to CAD 9.00 and an expected average of approximately CAD 7.00. The rally is therefore likely to resume soon!

    BYD – Free electricity as a leasing incentive

    Chinese electric vehicle pioneer BYD is currently making headlines in two ways. Firstly, British energy supplier Octopus Energy is promoting a new business model: customers can lease the compact BYD Dolphin electric vehicle for USD 350 a month, including free electricity for up to 12,000 km per year. This comes with a wallbox installed by Octopus, which not only charges the vehicle but can also feed electricity back into the grid. This converts the vehicle's battery into a mobile energy storage device, relieving the strain on the power grid by absorbing surplus green electricity and feeding it back in when needed, an innovative example of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.

    At the same time, BYD is massively expanding its international business. It was recently announced that the Company will also start exporting to the European Union from its new production base in Thailand. This not only secures BYD a logistically favorable location in Southeast Asia, but also direct access to the European market, which is currently seeing increased demand for affordable and efficient electric vehicles. BYD combines innovative energy and mobility solutions with a clear global expansion strategy. For investors and consumers alike, this could be a further indication that BYD is continuing to expand its pioneering role in the global e-mobility market. Nevertheless, the upturn in BYD shares has stalled. At 110 yuan, the stock is 40% below the price targets of analysts on the LSEG platform. With better Q3 figures, the price could soon turn around.

    Rheinmetall – The big move takes a break

    Since the end of May, Rheinmetall shares have been moving sideways between EUR 1,940 and EUR 1,480. The Q2 figures were slightly below expectations, but the long-term outlook was reinforced. Investors realize that the big party at the defense manufacturer is now over and that it could be months before the next price surge. Respect to those who can sit through the analysts' price targets on the LSEG platform, which range from EUR 2,300 to a weighted 12-month average of EUR 2,060. However, no one knows what will happen in the meantime. One thing is certain, though: if efforts to find a peaceful solution in Ukraine bear fruit, higher discounts are to be expected in the short term. In this case, dynamic investors should wait between EUR 1,100 and EUR 1,300, as there are numerous technical support lines in this range. Then, in terms of valuation, the entry point will once again fit in with the long-term upward scenario.

    Over the last six months, Almonty and Rheinmetall have performed brilliantly, gaining 108% and 68% respectively. Nvidia released its figures yesterday, and things are now getting interesting. BYD is currently somewhat off the pace, as sales are stagnating despite intensive marketing campaigns. Source: LSEG as of August 27, 2025

    All eyes are on Nvidia today. The stock clearly leads the global rankings with a market capitalization of USD 4.4 trillion. The fact that international stock markets have to align themselves with the stock's performance is due solely to its weighting in the major ETF portfolios. In the short term, however, Almonty Industries and Rheinmetall have outperformed the AI chip expert. The next price surge is likely to come soon for the tungsten supplier.

    Gold USD 4,300 and Silver USD 53 – Buying frenzy at Silver North, First Majestic, Nel ASA, and JinkoSolar

    Silver has been shorted by many investment banks for several years because sufficient supply was available from Mexico and other producing countries. The tide has turned. Over the past 12 months, the precious metal has caught up with its big brother gold, gaining 54%. There are several reasons for the scarcity-driven rally: there are only around 250 active silver mines worldwide, compared to around 1,400 gold mines. In addition, silver has massively expanded its importance as an industrial metal: it is indispensable in high-tech, e-mobility, defense, and medical technology. As a result, less and less physical silver is available to investors, while inventories on the futures markets continue to decline. Now is the time to take a position in silver. Alongside industry giants such as First Majestic, Silver North is among the most promising beneficiaries of the new silver boom.

    Raw materials alert for defense and technology! Almonty, MP Materials, and Rheinmetall!

    • Mining
    • Tungsten
    • Defense
    • RareEarths
    • CriticalMetals

    Europe faces a growing raw materials challenge. Whether it is rare earths, tungsten, or other critical metals, these resources are essential not only for defense, but for countless industries, including AI. The FAZ recently spoke to Almonty CEO Lewis Black about this, dedicating almost an entire page to the issue. Conclusion: Europe must act. The US has long since taken decisive action, securing access for its industry by investing in raw materials companies such as MP Materials and Lithium Americas. Europe's hesitation could pose a risk for Rheinmetall, even if investors are currently overlooking it - especially as the Company is also expanding in the US. Hopefully, Defense Minister Pistorius will have this issue on his radar during his visit to Canada.
