GOLD, BYTES, AND COCOA: PROFITING FROM WEST AFRICA'S BOOM WITH DESERT GOLD, ORANGE, AND BARRY CALLEBAUT
With economic growth that consistently outpaces the global average, a healthy age pyramid, and soil that literally consists of gold and silver, West Africa is no longer an insider's secret. Four teams at the World Cup in North America—Ghana, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Cape Verde—are the sporting symbol of a region confidently stepping onto the world stage. Yet this emerging economic region is not represented in most investors' portfolios. The potential for returns is obvious: the gold belt of the Senegal-Mali Shear Zone is attracting world-class corporations, mobile money platforms are replacing entire banking systems, and Côte d'Ivoire supplies around 40% of the world's cocoa. The shares of Desert Gold Ventures, Orange, and Barry Callebaut are therefore worth a look.

Alpha Found? Alpha Found: Lahontan Gold Positioned for Potential Market Outperformance
In equity markets, alpha refers to above-average performance, typically generated where future developments are not yet fully priced in. This is precisely the situation Lahontan Gold Corp. appears to be in today. While many investors still view the company as a traditional junior explorer, a key transformation is unfolding behind the scenes, supported by a clear timeline and multiple potential catalysts: the transition from exploration to gold production. Such development phases are often rewarded by the market with significant valuation re-ratings, as project milestones, increasing asset maturity, and the prospect of future cash flows come into focus. In addition, a planned listing on the NYSE next year is likely to provide further positive momentum for the share price. Against this backdrop, investors may still have the opportunity to position themselves early for potential above-average returns.

Betting on Gold and Other Commodities: A Closer Look at Agnico Eagle, Barrick Mining, and Strategic Resources
International financial markets are currently navigating a highly complex web of trade tensions, monetary policy decisions, and a slowing Chinese economy, as geopolitical tensions affect global currencies. In this highly volatile environment, commodity markets are undergoing their own transformation, where traditional crisis hedging clashes with forward-looking technology. The price of gold recently came under pressure and corrected significantly from its record highs, putting pressure on major mining stocks. At the same time, amid global decarbonization, the market is increasingly demanding low-carbon solutions and strategic commodities for the next generation of energy storage and industrial processing. This dynamic is creating palpable tension on the trading floor, as the course for the industrial future is now being reset. We take a look at three selected players to reveal where risks lurk following the recent market corrections and where an exceptional, undervalued opportunity may currently be emerging.

Energy Transition Meets AI Boom: Siemens Energy, RE Royalties, and NextEra Energy in Focus
The rapid expansion of renewable energy is colliding with the insatiable appetite for electricity driven by artificial intelligence. This collision is creating a demand gap in the electricity sector unlike anything seen before. While data centers are popping up worldwide, the expansion of wind and solar power plants can barely keep up. The result is a structural shortage of clean electricity. Investors can benefit from this perfect environment. Those who bet on the right companies now can benefit disproportionately from this convergence of megatrends. That is why we are looking today at Siemens Energy as a technology supplier, RE Royalties as an innovative financier, and NextEra Energy as the largest producer of green energy.

NATO's Strategic Alliance: Drone Technology for Canada and Ukraine – Volatus Aerospace Strengthens Its Strategic Position
The war in Ukraine is currently demonstrating with great clarity that traditional camouflage and deception strategies are increasingly reaching their limits when faced with AI-powered drone systems. While Russia attempts to confuse algorithmic target acquisition with "zebra" patterns on supply vehicles, modern neural networks learn to classify these signatures as clear target markers in a very short time. At this point, it becomes clear that technological escalation is driving a massive increase in global demand for integrated drone and counter-UAS systems and shifting defence architecture toward autonomous real-time intelligence. According to NATO analyses, global budgets for unmanned systems have been growing at double-digit rates since 2024, as traditional platforms are increasingly supplemented by networked, software-driven reconnaissance and attack systems. In this environment, Volatus Aerospace, as an integrated provider of drone operations, AI-powered analysis, and training infrastructure, is increasingly coming into the focus of institutional investors. In addition, CAD 30 million was quickly raised. The investment rotation is now beginning.

Opportunities in the Oil Market: BP, Zefiro Methane, and Chevron In Focus
The price of oil is rising again after ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran appear to have failed. However, fighting is currently more sporadic, and its intensity differs from what it was a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, oil prices remain high, and analysts expect they will not fall back to pre-war levels for the time being due to the supply shortfall. Barclays estimates that the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck is creating a supply deficit of up to 6.6 million barrels per day—about 7% of the global market. If the blockade persists, a peak of USD 110 is considered possible. The bank set a price target of USD 100 for the fourth quarter of 2026. JPMorgan is already seeing a drop in demand in Asia, partially offsetting the shortfall. Nevertheless, the price target here remains high at USD 96 per barrel. Should shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf normalize, the investment bank expects prices of USD 75 for black gold in the coming year. Oil companies stand to benefit from this development. We are therefore focusing on the shares of BP and Chevron. It is also worth looking at Zefiro Methane, which operates as a "cleanup specialist" in the industry.

Gold Market: Pullback Creates Opportunities in B2Gold, Kobo Resources, and Agnico Eagle Mines
Gold has remained remarkably resilient amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns, and the prospect of higher interest rates. The precious metal is currently trading sideways within a broad range of USD 4,400 to USD 4,800 per ounce and has recently defended the USD 4,500 level. History suggests that gold can perform well even during periods of rising interest rates. The 1970s provide a notable example. As the Western world grappled with stagflation—a combination of economic stagnation and rising prices—central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, aggressively tightened monetary policy. Despite higher interest rates, gold emerged as one of the decade's strongest-performing assets, climbing from USD 35 per ounce to more than USD 800 by 1980. Today, the charts for many gold companies also look promising. They would be the biggest beneficiaries of another outperformance by the precious metal. In any case, the banks remain optimistic. Whether it is Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, or UBS, analysts see gold back above the USD 5,000 per ounce mark by year-end. We therefore take a closer look at three companies that appear interesting not only from a charting perspective, but also fundamentally: B2Gold, Kobo Resources, and Agnico Eagle Mines.

IPO Instead of Power Outages? Energy Stocks Like Siemens Energy, A.H.T. Syngas, OHB, and SpaceX Are Taking Off
Germany remains one of the most reliable countries in Europe when it comes to electricity supply; in 2024, the average outage duration was 11.7 minutes per end user. This shows that, on average, power outages in Germany are rare and usually brief, even though there are regional differences. For investors, everything has revolved around availability and efficiency in the energy sector since the massive increase in electricity consumption driven by AI data centers. This is where companies like Siemens Energy come into focus, as the modernization of energy infrastructure and the growing complexity of the power grid require significant expertise. In addition to the Munich-based company, A.H.T. Syngas also has innovative concepts to excel in an energy-policy-driven environment. Those looking for high-energy systems might also be interested in further developments at OHB and SpaceX. Is this rally still on solid ground?

Simple and Brutal: No Nuclear Power, No AI - Why American Atomics, Infineon, and Aixtron Play Key Roles
The energy demand of artificial intelligence and data centres is enormous. Studies consistently show that no single energy source will be sufficient; instead, a diversified energy mix will be required to meet rising global electricity consumption. Storage solutions and the critical bottleneck of grid expansion remain key challenges. A strong growth trend that has so far received too little attention is nuclear energy. In this context, American Atomics is positioning itself within the nuclear value chain. AI-driven demand is driving growth for Aixtron and Infineon; both companies hold strong market positions but operate in different segments of the value chain. The key question for investors is whether, after the strong share price performance to date, there is still upside potential in these names.
