A Firework Display of Returns: A Closer Look at the Dividend Standouts RTL Group, Mutares and RE Royalties
In volatile markets and amid economic uncertainty, dividends can be a rock in the storm. Yet investors do not necessarily have to rely on sluggish blue-chip stocks. Three companies from the small- and mid-cap segment are delivering a veritable return bonanza. The journey takes us from an established media group and an SDAX-listed turnaround specialist to a Canadian pioneer in renewable energy: At RTL, the acquisition of Sky Deutschland and a now-profitable streaming business are providing fresh momentum. Mutares selectively acquires loss-making divisions from major corporations and transforms them into reliable sources of returns for shareholders. And RE Royalties, with a dividend yield of more than 10%, outshines both—while a discreet sale process is taking place behind the scenes that could provide investors with an additional substantial takeover premium.

New Chips, New Batteries, New Chances: HPQ Silicon Breakthrough? Micron Keeps Surging – Can Aixtron Catch Up?
Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom are among the companies most closely associated with the AI boom. But the next major wave of growth could emerge among suppliers and technology partners. After all, the more AI applications find their way into data centres, the greater the demand for fast memory, efficient power electronics, and new materials. HPQ Silicon is focusing on silicon as a key material for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries and recently achieved an important milestone. Aixtron and Micron are riding the AI wave in different ways. Which horse should investors bet on?

Energy Market in Transition: A Look at Enel, A.H.T. Syngas Technology and 2G Energy
The energy sector is in turmoil. And that is not just on the stock markets. Fuel prices for both road and air travel have surged sharply as a result of the US attacks on Iran. In Berlin, one gas station has already reported diesel prices of EUR 3 per litre. For trucking companies, commuters, and even central bankers, this is a nightmare scenario, as it fuels inflation. The ECB has already responded by raising interest rates last week. The Federal Reserve has now unanimously followed suit and also raised its key interest rate—despite calls from the White House to lower it to 1%. The stock markets have handled this development reasonably well so far. Nevertheless, investors should consider alternatives, particularly when it comes to energy. Today, we are putting three very different stocks in the spotlight: Enel, A.H.T. Syngas Technology and 2G Energy — from large to small!

Cash Is King: How Barrick and PDI Gold Are Turning Mali into a Cash Cow – Desert Gold Set to Become a Gold Producer
In the past, West Africa was often seen as a region of missed opportunities and geopolitical uncertainties. But a closer look at Mali today shows a different picture. The Republic is focusing on legal certainty and cooperation, presenting itself as a robust and open destination for international investors. Evidence of this can be seen in the investments made by major mining conglomerates. While industry giants such as Barrick are investing in Mali, dynamic challenger Desert Gold is also coming into focus. Desert Gold is poised to become a gold producer. Here is why the company is entering a pivotal phase.

GE Vernova, Zefiro Methane, Sempra: Natural Gas on the Verge of a Mega-Comeback
Created and Published on Behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.
The energy demands of AI and data centres are transforming the energy market. Round-the-clock power availability is becoming a strategic resource, while grids and new power plants are struggling to keep pace with growth. As a result, natural gas is experiencing an unexpected renaissance. New gas-fired power plants are being built, billions are flowing into LNG infrastructure, and customers are securing supplies for decades to come. At the same time, pressure is mounting to clean up the legacy pollution left by the oil and gas industry.

Panic or Buying Opportunity? SFC Energy, TeamViewer, Almonty Industries
Panic at Almonty? The stock has plummeted from EUR 16 to EUR 12 in just a few days. But investors should remain calm. As in the past, this could even present a buying opportunity. Analysts' price targets reach as high as USD 33. Plus, the company's fundamentals remain solid. Tungsten is in short supply worldwide, and more and more countries are restricting exports. At the same time, Almonty is expanding its tungsten production and is earning handsomely at current price levels. SFC Energy's half-year results were also impressive. Nevertheless, the stock has been trading sideways. Analysts remain optimistic. Optimism has also returned to TeamViewer. More and more investors now see the German software company as an AI winner rather than an AI loser. The stock is making a comeback.

Glencore, Kobo Resources, Elmet Group: Gold Discovery and Billion-Dollar Deal
The race for raw materials is intensifying. The US is investing directly in strategic metals, Western companies are seeking new sources of supply, and resource-rich countries increasingly want to process their own mineral wealth rather than simply export ore. As a result, Africa is moving further into the spotlight. The continent holds vast mineral resources, but has so far participated only to a limited extent in downstream value creation. That is now beginning to change.

What If Diesel Stays Longer Than Expected? dynaCERT's Bridge Technology, Deutz and Renk in Focus
The stock market loves clear visions of the future: batteries instead of internal combustion engines, green hydrogen instead of fossil fuels, electric motors instead of diesel engines. Turning these visions into reality takes time and is more challenging than many assume. Investments, service life, cost-effectiveness, and infrastructure all add complexity to the decision-making process. This makes bridge technologies even more important, since millions of trucks and construction machines will not disappear overnight. This is where dynaCERT comes in. The Canadian company does not aim to replace diesel, but rather to make its operation more efficient. Its proprietary HydraGEN™ solution generates hydrogen and oxygen on demand and feeds the gases into the diesel engine's air intake system, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. How are the automotive and defence industries positioning themselves in light of these developments? What conclusions can investors draw regarding Deutz, Renk, and dynaCERT, and where do the best opportunities lie?

The New Power in the Skies: Volatus Aerospace, Airbus and OHB in a Stock Analysis
The war in Ukraine has shown just how fundamentally drones, satellites and autonomous systems are transforming modern warfare. At the same time, Europe and Canada are seeking to reduce their dependence on the US and China for security-critical technologies. It is not just established aerospace companies that stand to benefit from this trend. Volatus Aerospace, a small Canadian provider, is also positioning itself in this future-oriented market. Add to that Airbus, the European heavyweight, and OHB, a speculative bet on Europe's sovereignty in space. We take a closer look at these three aerospace specialists in our stock analysis.
