Uranium as a geopolitical bargaining chip after the Hormuz shock - Standard Uranium, Kazatomprom, and F3 Uranium in focus
The escalation in the Middle East, which culminated in a de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has triggered a global energy shock. With around one-fifth of global oil consumption passing through this bottleneck, oil prices have skyrocketed. In their latest market forecasts, analysts at JPMorgan warn of scenarios in which the price could rise to USD 130 or, in extreme cases, up to USD 300 per barrel. This is hitting Asian industrial nations particularly hard and has ruthlessly exposed the vulnerability of international supply chains for fossil fuels. In this environment, uranium is becoming a decisive geopolitical bargaining chip, as nuclear power, at least since the recent conflagration in the Middle East, must no longer be seen merely as a measure of climate protection, but as an instrument of national security and energy sovereignty. We present three uranium companies and highlight which stocks are most interesting for investors.

Iran War: Why TUI and Lufthansa are trembling while RE Royalties plans for the energy of the future!
The world is watching the Middle East with bated breath. What is happening there is not only shaking up the political world map but also inflicting deep wounds on the portfolios of many investors. The giants of the travel and aviation industry, TUI and Lufthansa, are under particular pressure. The uncertainty is visible and palpable as flight schedules are canceled and booking numbers plummet. But while crisis mode prevails, a very different story is unfolding away from the turbulence. RE Royalties shows in 2026 that there are alternatives that are not only relatively crisis-proof, but also actively benefit from global transformation. While the classics of the travel industry are struggling to stay afloat, RE Royalties has already made a remarkable jump from CAD 0.25 to CAD 0.40 in 2026. This may just be the start of a significant upward trend.

New EU standards aim to secure the future of e-mobility! BYD, Nio, Group Eleven Resources, and VW
With the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the European Union has been creating binding minimum standards for publicly accessible charging points since the beginning of 2026. In addition, new subsidies have been introduced in many EU countries to promote e-mobility, even though the coffers are empty due to high defense spending. Meanwhile, the overall European vehicle market came under noticeable pressure in January. According to the latest data from the industry association ACEA, new vehicle registrations fell by just under 4% compared to the previous year, marking the first decline in months and reflecting the difficult overall market. However, a clear trend is emerging within this development: electrification is continuing to advance and shifting market shares in favor of battery electric vehicles. At the same time, the next Middle East conflict is unfolding, with oil prices rising sharply above USD 82 per barrel of Brent. This is providing a strong tailwind for alternative drive systems that can withstand global hysteria. Risk-conscious investors should now revise their portfolio structures.

Drones over Dubai! NEO Battery Materials is the hidden gem for the drone supercycle and more!
Current developments in the Middle East are showing the world, with depressing clarity, how much warfare has changed. Images over the weekend from Dubai, Qatar, and other major cities demonstrate the destructive potential of drones - precise, difficult to defend against, and often deployed with comparatively limited resources. It is evident that drones will not only dominate future battlefields but will also take on an increasing range of civilian applications. Still considered a hidden gem in the emerging drone supercycle is NEO Battery Materials. In South Korea, the company produces high-performance batteries for drones, robots, and electric mobility. In terms of performance metrics, it claims to outperform Chinese competitors significantly.

Paradigm shift in oncological dermatology: Vidac Pharma as an innovator, what are Almirall and Biofrontera doing?
Oncological dermatology is on the cusp of a revolution that could fundamentally change our understanding of cancer treatment. Persistence Market Research estimates that the global market for the treatment of actinic keratosis will reach a volume of around USD 7 billion by 2026. Analysts expect the market to grow to between USD 11.1 and 14.45 billion by the mid-2030s. This momentum is driven by the aging global population, cumulative UV exposure due to changing leisure habits, and increased awareness of the dangers of skin cancer. Currently, established industry giants such as Almirall and Biofrontera dominate the standard of care for actinic keratosis with their proven products. However, Vidac Pharma marks the transition from merely combating symptoms to a revolutionary procedure in oncological dermatology. This makes the company an opportunity for growth-oriented investors seeking access to a completely new class of drugs in the field of metabolic oncology.

DroneShield shares explode! Steyr Motors and CHAR Technologies benefit from acquisitions and optimism!
DroneShield's share price has skyrocketed. After a weekend with images of drones over Dubai, Qatar, and other major cities, investors rushed to buy DroneShield shares. The specialist in drone defense had already reported European orders last week, pushing the share up by 20%. Yesterday, the rally continued. DroneShield demonstrates that it is not always the market leaders who make the biggest gains. There are also compelling second-tier companies that can become outperformers. Steyr Motors catapulted itself onto investors' radar in the defense sector in 2025, and now the first acquisitions are being made to accelerate growth. CHAR Technologies could be among the outperformers in 2026. At a recent investor conference, the CEO provided solid reasons for significantly higher share prices. If the company succeeds in commercializing its technology, the stock currently appears undervalued.

PayPal, Aspermont, Palantir: Three digital business models that are being further optimized through AI
The era of simple digitization is history. What separates companies today from tomorrow is no longer a question of software implementation, but one of fundamental value creation architecture. Artificial intelligence has evolved from an efficiency tool to the operating system of entire business models, with a consequence that is becoming apparent for the first time in the current quarterly figures: those who fail to rethink their scaling strategy are not only giving away growth, but also risking their very existence. We take a look at how PayPal, Aspermont, and Palantir have aligned their digital business models with AI.

Desert Gold Ventures – Hidden Gem in the Gold Supercycle
Gold has made an impressive comeback in recent quarters. Escalating geopolitical conflicts, fragile supply chains, continued high global government debt, and expansive fiscal programs in the US and Europe are fueling doubts about the long-term stability of paper currencies. Central banks are expanding their gold reserves, and institutional investors are increasing their strategic allocations. The price is trading close to historic highs, and this is precisely where a decisive lever comes into play. The higher the price level, the greater the profitability of new projects. Margins are expanding disproportionately, payback periods are shortening, and internal rates of return are skyrocketing. Developers with advanced projects, such as Desert Gold Ventures, are thus increasingly becoming the focus of the capital market.

The arms build-up accelerates – Iran, Israel, and the US escalate! Critical metals remain in focus with Almonty, Thales, and Hensoldt
US President Donald Trump has made the nuclear debate with Iran a top priority. After years of living with what it views as a significant threat from the Iranian regime, Israel is now aligning its strategic interests more closely with Western partners. Discussions increasingly revolve around containing Iran's influence and limiting its military capabilities. Whether this will be so easy is doubtful, as the Revolutionary Guards have developed into a powerful force over the last 10 years, and Russia is also likely to appear on the horizon as a friend of the Iranians. For financial markets, this constellation implies renewed uncertainty and elevated volatility. Historically, such phases have tended to benefit defense and armaments companies. For marathon runner Almonty Industries, the environment appears particularly favorable: geopolitical tensions, rising tungsten prices, and governments under pressure to secure strategic raw materials are reinforcing the investment case. The momentum in defense and critical metals markets continues.

Boom in the gold sector: Why Lahontan Gold Offers Leverage Beyond Barrick and AngloGold
In times when world politics are in turmoil due to wars, investors are desperately seeking a safe haven for their assets. The price of gold has resumed its upward trajectory with full force due to recent developments and new tensions surrounding the Iraq conflict. It is the age-old story of the safe haven that could take on a whole new strength right now. As long as uncertainty and geopolitical friction remain on the world stage, precious metals will be the big winners of this development. Gold and silver, in particular, are benefiting from market fears and the desire for stability. In this exciting environment, all eyes are on major producers such as Barrick Mining and AngloGold Ashanti, which, among others, form the foundation of the industry. But the real thrill and the chance for exceptional returns often lie with the "smaller explorers" who are sitting on huge treasures. One name in particular has recently come into focus: Lahontan Gold. With its spectacular projects in Nevada, the company is proving that it is still possible to strike gold today.
