APA Corporation, NEO Battery Materials, JD.com – Sector rotation ahead
2025 will once again go down in history as a strong year for the stock market. This is particularly surprising from a German perspective, as the DAX, long considered an underperformer, even outperformed the leading US market with a gain of over 20%. However, anyone who believes that the coming year will be a simple continuation of this trend is likely to be disappointed. Many market observers expect prices to continue rising, buoyed by AI investments, fiscal tailwinds, and robust earnings. At the same time, however, the risks of unexpected turns are growing. High valuations, possible sector rotations, and underestimated asset classes could make 2026 a year in which flexibility is more important than blind optimism.

GOLD or SILVER? Both? Barrick Mining, First Majestic Silver, and Silver North Resources in focus!
Gold and silver are not taking a break just before Christmas. The prices of precious metals are rising and rising. For silver, some experts' price target of USD 100 no longer seems unrealistic. First Majestic Silver's stock has performed even better. There is little choice among silver producers, and prices seem to be running hot. A shift to explorers in the coming year would come as no surprise. Silver North Resources is entering the new year with full coffers and positive results and aims to resume drilling as soon as possible. The Company is active in legally secure Canada, and its shares are attractive for investors. Those who missed the opportunity to invest in Barrick Mining in 2025 missed out on a threefold increase in value. The Company is also likely to have a few surprises in store in 2026. Perhaps even a hostile takeover?

Spectacular gains in 2025: Almonty up 8x, Rheinmetall up 2x - is TKMS next? Let profits run?
Commodity stocks and defense shares were among investors' favorites in 2025. Rheinmetall shares have more than doubled this year and have even increased tenfold since the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine. An especially impressive rally was delivered by Almonty Industries, whose share price rose eightfold. The signs continue to point to growth, as the Company has key unique selling points and significant geopolitical relevance in the supply of strategic metals that are urgently needed in the West and are essential for the defense industry and high-tech sector. The necessary security of supply is also attracting governments as buyers. The development of stock market newcomer TKMS is also exciting. The order books of the manufacturer of submarines and naval vessels are filling up. The motto for these stocks in 2026 is: stay on board.

Gold boom in Africa: What makes the continent so attractive for Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, B2Gold, and your portfolio

From publisher to data company: Why Aspermont needs to close the valuation gap with Glacier and Informa
There is a clear two-tier society on the stock market when it comes to the valuation of information providers. Traditional media companies that depend on advertising revenue are often traded at low single-digit multiples. Data providers, on the other hand, which retain their customers through subscriptions and proprietary databases, enjoy the high valuations of the tech sector. Aspermont, the Australian market leader for B2B information in the commodities sector, is currently undergoing this lucrative transformation. A look at the competition reveals where the journey could lead. While the Canadian company Glacier Media shows how to profitably combine news and data, the British giant Informa proves that specialized B2B information is a billion-dollar business. Aspermont is currently aggressively adapting these successful models, but is still valued by the market like an old-fashioned newspaper publisher. Yet the Company has long since proven that it can win over wealthy customers in the B2B segment.

The strategic positioning of Plug Power, dynaCERT, and Nel ASA in the USD 110 billion market
2025 marks the long-awaited turning point for the hydrogen economy: with global investments of over USD 110 billion, annual volumes recently exploding by 70%, and groundbreaking infrastructure projects such as Germany's 400 km core network, the vision is becoming a commercial reality. Technological milestones, such as Bosch's production-ready fuel cell truck system, and ambitious EU targets underscore the enormous potential for decarbonization. In this dynamic environment, it is innovative companies that are translating these macroeconomic dynamics into concrete growth opportunities. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the pioneers Plug Power, dynaCERT, and Nel ASA.

Nickel sulfides: The formula for profitability – why Power Metallic Mines is hot on the heels of Talon Metals and Magna
The nickel market is currently undergoing a split that offers investors clear guidance: while countless projects are failing due to low ore grades, skyrocketing energy costs, or politically unstable locations, a small group of winners is emerging. The formula for success is high-grade sulfide deposits in North America. Companies such as Talon Metals, which became known through a supply deal with Tesla, and Magna Mining in Canada's historic Sudbury Basin have proven that this geological constellation is the key to profitability. Power Metallic Mines is following in their footsteps. With its NISK project in Quebec, the Company has the geological ingredients of the two companies mentioned above, but is trading at a significant discount on the stock market, reflecting the past rather than the potential confirmed by drilling and the entry of several mining billionaires.

Uranium, Quantum, or Hydrogen? Should you buy D-Wave, Plug Power, or American Atomics now?
Is the price of uranium about to jump above the USD 100 mark? Analysts believe this could happen as early as next year. After a mixed 2025, a significant upward trend is anticipated. In the US in particular, nuclear energy is increasingly seen as a key solution to the growing energy demand driven by the boom in data centers. One company set to benefit is American Atomics. In an interview, the head of this hidden gem describes the prospects. The hype surrounding Plug Power has faded again. Investors' hopes for a sustained upward trend have once again been dashed. Is an improvement on the horizon? And what are the prospects for high-flyer D-Wave Quantum? A recent study is giving the sector a boost.

Boom 2026 – Energy transition now! Which stocks are convincing in the long term? Power Metallic, Nordex, Siemens Energy, or JinkoSolar
The year is drawing to a close. Will next year see the losers of 2025 really take off? And even more interesting: can the blockbuster stocks from the artificial intelligence, high-tech, big data, and raw materials sectors repeat their historic returns? We think it is wise to expect somewhat lower returns. But here, too, everyone could be wrong. Tesla provides one example. Elon Musk's visionary company is selling fewer and fewer vehicles, and competition is growing. However, with topics such as robotics and autonomous driving, the dazzling founder always has new aces up his sleeve, and the stock keeps rising. We can provide some assistance in the energy sector, but there are also clear overvaluations here.

Car wash as a source of revenue: How WashTec combines the business models of Dover and Ecolab
Car washing has traditionally been considered a conservative business - steel, brushes, and water, with no major disruptions, or so people believe. But behind the scenes, a change is taking place that requires a reassessment of the industry. WashTec, the global market leader for car washes based in Augsburg, Germany, is currently shedding its role as a pure machine manufacturer and transforming itself into an integrated high-tech service provider. To understand the potential of this metamorphosis, it is worth looking across the Atlantic. While US industrial giant Dover Corporation demonstrates how lucrative the global scaling of hardware can be, Ecolab provides the blueprint for stable, recurring revenues through chemistry and process optimization. WashTec now combines precisely these strengths - machinery, chemistry, digitalization, and service - under one roof, positioning itself for investors as the industry's overall technological optimizer. We take a look behind the scenes.
