New Drones and Space Acrobatics? SpaceX, Power Metallic, Thales and Heidelberger Druck in Flight Mode
The global aerospace and defence industry is currently experiencing an unprecedented technological boom that is completely upending traditional market dynamics. From autonomous systems in the stratosphere to revolutionary launch vehicles in orbit, more and more industries are reaching for the stars. To survive in this fiercely competitive environment, established industry giants and visionary tech pioneers alike must forge new alliances and radically expand their core competencies. A look at current market trends impressively demonstrates that innovation today arises primarily from the synergy between radical high-tech development and high-precision industrial scaling. While NASDAQ newcomer SpaceX is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space with spectacular feats, specialized players like the European Thales Group are driving the modernization of defence systems with advanced sensor and drone technologies. Heidelberger Druck is also showing surprisingly strong momentum as it successfully adapts its time-honoured precision engineering for the future drone production market. And then there are the indispensable critical metals: Power Metallic aims to join the North American supply chain soon. Exciting!

Steel Transformation in Jeopardy: How Strategic Resources Plans to Support thyssenkrupp and Salzgitter
Smoking chimneys and hot blast furnaces have defined industrial regions in Germany and elsewhere for decades. But the era of the traditional steel industry is coming to an end. Anyone driving through European industrial centers today sees mostly construction sites—the climate-neutral future is already casting its shadow. The industry is also moving away from traditional steelmaking processes due to emissions regulations and high prices for emissions allowances. But the shift away from coke brings new problems: without pure intermediate products for the steel industry, the transformation risks failing. We shed light on the situation and highlight potential beneficiaries.

TKMS Keeps Soaring! When Will DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace Take Off Again?
Nearly 50% gains in just a few weeks. TKMS is currently riding a wave of success, and analysts believe the stock has further upside potential. The company is a prime example of the comeback staged by traditional defence stocks in recent weeks. By contrast, many drone stocks continue to struggle. It seems like a strange disconnect, since few would dispute that drones and counter-drone systems are playing an increasingly important role, not only in current conflict zones. Accordingly, the investment needs of armed forces and security agencies are likely to remain substantial in the coming years. So when will companies such as Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield take off again?

BYD, dynaCERT, Lucid: New Models and New Markets Fuel Share Price Potential
The mobility transition is in full swing, but the internal combustion engine will not disappear overnight. While electric vehicle manufacturers are making inroads with new models, longer ranges, and ever-shorter charging times, millions of trucks, construction machines, and industrial power units worldwide will remain in use for years to come. This creates a massive transition market. New propulsion systems must grow, while existing engines must become more efficient and produce fewer emissions. Three companies are tackling different aspects of this transformation.

Gold Rush 2.0: Between Record Cash Flows, Permitting Boosts, and Massive Leverage Opportunities – Agnico Eagle, B2Gold and Desert Gold
The gold price has stabilized above USD 4,000, driving strong movements in the mining sector. While established industry giants are posting historic cash flow records thanks to high prices or triggering significant share price jumps through new mining permits, smaller explorers are also repeatedly coming to the forefront. In particular, companies on the verge of making the leap from pure explorers to high-margin producers are currently still trading at striking valuation discounts. A look at three current industry examples reveals where the major opportunities and risks currently lie.

How to Profit from the Raw Materials Shortage: A Look at the Top Picks—Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Glencore
A fierce battle is raging over raw materials. The green transition is not the only reason demand has skyrocketed. AI, specifically its data centers, and robotics are also driving demand even higher. Added to this are geopolitical dependencies and national supply concerns. The US is pushing for domestic production. China is buying up raw materials worldwide, and resource-rich countries like the Congo are imposing new export conditions. Those who run out of raw materials will lose their supply chains. We therefore take a closer look at Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore today.

Almonty Industries, Energy Fuels and Antofagasta: China Still Dominates, but These Stocks Are on the Rise
The battle for critical raw materials is becoming a geopolitical power struggle. Defense, AI, power grids, and high-tech industries require enormous quantities of strategic metals, while China controls key parts of the supply chains. The US is now responding with billions in investment and aims to drastically reduce its dependence. This benefits producers who are establishing new Western supply chains for rare earths, tungsten, or copper. Three stocks are particularly in the spotlight.

Renk with AI Potential? D-Wave Shares Rebound! Is Zefiro Methane Seriously Undervalued?
Could Renk become an AI beneficiary? Its collaboration with Siemens Energy certainly appears to be gaining momentum. In 2026, the business is expected to account for around one-third of the order intake of Renk's Industrial Business Unit. At another company, analysts expect massive growth over the coming years, with earnings potentially multiplying. A recent report highlights the company's potential, while the stock appears far too cheap. And what about D-Wave? The quantum computing hopeful still looks far too expensive, as its latest quarterly figures have shown. Nevertheless, investors have also spotted some positive developments, sending the stock up 25% recently. Was that justified?

The Secret of Hidden Treasures: Why Allianz, BP and Lahontan Gold Could Be Re-Rated
Some treasures lie deep beneath the ground. Others are well hidden in balance sheets. And some are simply waiting for the right catalyst to emerge. Canadian explorer Lahontan Gold is on track to potentially multiply its underlying asset value with spectacular drill results. Allianz shares have been climbing relentlessly following a strategic multibillion-euro deal in Asia. And geopolitical price shocks are generating unexpected additional profits for energy giant BP. Where are these hidden treasures, and how could the combination of drill results, balance-sheet strength and oil barrels trigger a powerful re-rating?

Constellation Energy, NU E Power, Siemens: These stocks are at the heart of the energy boom
Created and Published on Behalf of NU E Power Corp.
The AI boom faces an energy problem that cannot be solved simply by developing better chips. New data centers consume enormous amounts of energy, while grid connections and additional generation capacity are becoming increasingly scarce in many regions. As a result, Hyperscalers are securing long-term nuclear power, investing in their own energy solutions, and accelerating the development of new energy infrastructure. This is creating a massive multi-billion-dollar market beyond the familiar AI stocks. Particularly interesting are companies that generate and supply electricity, provide the necessary infrastructure, or develop new energy parks specifically to meet the growing power demands of data centers.
