Crash Risk or Buying Opportunity? SpaceX Slides, BMW Eyes a Rebound, and Desert Gold Shines on the Charts
The situation in the Middle East has continued to escalate, with attacks around the Strait of Hormuz driving up oil prices. Brent crude has recently climbed to around USD 85 per barrel, adding another layer of uncertainty to global financial markets. For investors searching for opportunities in the current environment, it is important to look beyond individual stocks and keep a close eye on geopolitical developments. In this article, we examine three companies from very different sectors and highlight where potential opportunities may be emerging. First, we look at BMW, whose shares are currently trading at what many consider an attractive valuation and may be positioned for a rebound. We also examine SpaceX, whose stock has entered what many investors would describe as crash territory, with the share price falling below its IPO level. Finally, we turn to Desert Gold Ventures, a small West African gold explorer that has continued to make steady operational progress largely independent of broader market turbulence—and largely without attracting much attention. Could this overlooked company represent a significant opportunity for investors?

Defense Giants Shaken by Consumer Drones: Rheinmetall and AeroVironment Under Pressure as Volatus Aerospace Strengthens the Supply Chain
The defence industry is booming and evolving rapidly. While established defence contractors are reaping the benefits of record orders for conventional weapons systems, autonomous systems and AI-powered networks are also increasingly benefiting. The market for military drones is growing at double-digit rates and, according to current market forecasts, is expected to reach a volume of USD 80 to 100 billion by 2030. But these billions are far from being allocated. Even though Ukrainian-made drones were disparaged as "housewife drones" not long ago, the reality is that Ukraine is extremely agile when it comes to new developments. It is not uncommon for prototypes to be deployed within days. The Ukrainians are also at the forefront when it comes to costs. Cheap, mass-produced disposable systems are increasingly replacing conventional defence products. We examine this trend and highlight three exciting companies.

Gold, Tungsten, and Silver: Upside Potential in First Majestic Silver, Almonty Industries, and Agnico Eagle
The war in the Gulf and the strong US dollar continue to cause volatility in the commodities market. While copper has managed to decouple from these trends due to tight supply in global markets, the situation is different for gold and silver prices. However, stabilization may now be on the horizon. The specialty metal tungsten, on the other hand, tracks copper and is showing stability at high price levels. This presents opportunities for investors to build long-term positions in the market. We are therefore looking at the stocks of First Majestic Silver, Almonty Industries, and Agnico Eagle.

Long Live Diesel: Why dynaCERT, Deutz, and Daimler Truck Are Worth Watching—Analysts See More Than 500% Upside
The future of transportation may be electric, but the road to getting there will be longer and more complicated than many investors believed. Millions of trucks, construction and agricultural machines, generators, and military vehicles will continue to rely on internal combustion engines for years to come. That reality is creating an intriguing investment opportunity. We take a closer look at three companies that could benefit from this transition: dynaCERT, Deutz, and Daimler Truck.

The Methane Puzzle: Are Zefiro Methane, BP, and Siemens Energy Entering the Next Growth Phase?
For many years, the energy transition was viewed in simple terms: phase out fossil fuels and replace them with wind and solar power. The reality, however, has proven to be far more complex. As electricity demand surges, driven by data centers, artificial intelligence, and the ongoing electrification of the economy, natural gas is increasingly being recognized worldwide as an indispensable transition fuel. At the same time, political and economic pressure is mounting to drastically reduce climate-damaging methane emissions along the entire value chain. This is where Zefiro Methane is carving out its niche. By plugging abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States, many of which continue to release significant amounts of methane into the atmosphere, the company is addressing a multi-billion-dollar market.

Defence or Artificial Intelligence? On the Hunt for Blockbusters with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Strategic Resources, and TKMS
The market is becoming increasingly concentrated. Despite fresh record highs in July, the number of true winners can almost be counted on one hand. The strongest performers continue to be a select group of high-tech and AI stocks, while semiconductor shares are already beginning to lose momentum. Meanwhile, oil and gas stocks are picking up speed again, while the long upswing in the defence sector that began in 2022 appears to be running out of steam. As a result, many defence companies ranked among the worst-performing stocks during the first half of the year. Now the summer slowdown has arrived, and even a potential interest cut by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is unlikely to lift sentiment. The reason is straightforward: inflation remains stubbornly high, hovering around the 4% mark in the US for an unusually long time. President Donald Trump had hoped that replacing Jerome Powell would pave the way for lower interest rates, but those expectations now appear increasingly unrealistic. Then there is the tariff setback, which is costing US taxpayers another USD 100 billion. In short, the warning signs of a broader market correction are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. For active investors, the only real question is when, not if. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at the battered defence sector in search of the next potential blockbuster investment.

AI, Tech, Debt, and Ratings: Oracle Faces a Reality Check, Renk Searches for a Bottom, and Volatus Aerospace May Be Poised for a Technical Breakout
Oracle is pouring billions into the AI frenzy, thereby risking its credit rating. The result: investors are fleeing in droves, and the share price is plummeting. At the same time, Renk's share price has now collapsed by over 50% from its high. The German defence industry's rising star, along with Rheinmetall and Hensoldt, is desperately seeking a foothold. "Collective punishment" is the buzzword here! While the big names dominate the headlines, the Canadian aerospace company Volatus Aerospace may have finally done its technical analysis homework after turbulent times, with an open price gap now closed. Could this be a signal—or a starting gun? We analyze these three different companies and highlight where investors can still find interesting opportunities.

Antimony as the "Invisible Glue" of Industry and Defence: Antimony Resources, BASF, and Lockheed Martin
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
A relatively unknown semimetal that for decades remained in the shadow of the commodity giants has suddenly emerged as the strategic nerve center of Western industry. Antimony is essential for flame retardants in electronics, heat-resistant cables in fighter jets, and modern battery systems; without this material, key technologies cannot be produced. When China effectively halted exports in December 2024, this catapulted the price of antimony skyward in a very short time and exposed a critical dependency. As the West searches for alternative supply chains, established corporations are coming under pressure. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the up-and-coming antimony producer Antimony Resources, the industrial conglomerate BASF, and the defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

Everyone Has to Pay—Why Investors Could Profit: The Toll Secret of InterDigital and AbbVie, Plus Globex Mining's Portfolio of 272 Resource Projects
The global economy is like a jungle, with toll booths waiting at every turn—anyone who wants to pass has to pay. A recent example is the rebranding of Siemens Energy to Omterra: even after being spun off from the Siemens Group, the company still has to pay for the right to use its former parent company's name. This toll-booth business model exists across many industries. Companies that own assets, technologies, or rights that others need can generate highly profitable, recurring revenue streams. We take a closer look at three compelling business models and highlight investment opportunities that could prove especially rewarding during periods of economic and technological transformation.

Evotec Shocks the Market! Will First Majestic Silver and Lahontan Gold Take Off?
Biotech stocks have not exactly been investor favourites this year. And now Evotec has delivered yet another shock. It was already known that the company was undergoing a comprehensive restructuring. Nevertheless, it had recently seemed as though the share price was finding a bottom in the EUR 4-5 range. But then came the shock. The significant downward revision of its forecast and the expected high EBITDA loss caused the share price to plummet. In contrast, Lahontan Gold is shining with relative strength. While it cannot escape the negative sentiment in the gold sector, the odds are good that the share price will take off again soon. After all, the company is on the verge of transitioning from an explorer to a producer. And what about First Majestic Silver? This core investment in the silver sector recently reported its second-quarter production figures.
