The New China: Power Metallic Mines, GE Aerospace, and DHL Group See Investment Opportunities in Saudi Arabia
The FIFA World Cup has just come to an end, and the roadmap for future tournaments is already in place. The most forward-looking executives are now turning their attention to the host nation of the 2034 FIFA World Cup: Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is not only awash in cash—it is also opening up more and more and strategically channeling its vast oil wealth into new industries. Three companies that stand to benefit particularly from this transformation are Canadian resource explorer Power Metallic Mines, the US jet engine manufacturer GE Aerospace, and the logistics giant DHL Group, still affectionately known to many investors as the former Deutsche Post. At the same time, all three companies are positioned at the center of major long-term trends, including rising military spending, secure supply chains, electric mobility, and the continued growth of e-commerce.

Things are heating up! Disappointment at Nel ASA - can A.H.T. Syngas, E.ON, and ITM Power deliver?
It is earnings season again! As is the case every year starting in mid-July, publicly traded companies are reporting on the past quarter. There is a lot of movement, especially among the highly watched tech stocks, some of which have suffered sharp price declines in recent weeks. Nel ASA has already reported its Q2 results, confirming the difficult situation in the hydrogen business with another revenue decline—though at least order intake is on the rise. With the climate and energy transition back in the spotlight amid summer temperatures nearing 40 degrees, we are also taking a look at its competitors in the energy sector. A.H.T. Syngas continues to grow in Poland, ITM Power secures additional EU funding, and E.ON is making acquisitions in the UK. So the M&A merry-go-round is spinning again—investors should remain on their toes despite the heat!

A Renewed Flare-Up of the Iran Conflict Fuels the Oil Industry: BP, Zefiro Methane, and Shell

Those who correctly interpret the various business models can profit more than average from the current market movement. A look at BP, Zefiro Methane, and Shell reveals where the greatest leverage lies for investors in the oil industry.

Another Setback for Rheinmetall? DroneShield Sounds the Alarm as Volatus Aerospace Pushes Ahead
Is the next German-French defence project headed for failure? In an interview with Welt am Sonntag, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger warns of a possible French withdrawal from the MGCS ground combat system planned with Germany. This would mark the second major strategic setback for Rheinmetall. Drone specialist Volatus Aerospace is currently beating the drum hard to keep its order pipeline full. In the UK, the company is currently showcasing its expertise in aviation, autonomous systems, aerial reconnaissance, training, and mission support. Previously, Volatus had demonstrated its solutions in Canada, where the Arctic and maritime regions place special demands on robust, networked security solutions. The threat posed by drones is growing, yet many airports and operators of critical infrastructure appear to be inadequately prepared. A new study by DroneShield reveals significant gaps in detection, defence, and legal authority.

Gold Price Above USD 4,000 and Central Bank Rally: Barrick Mining, Lahontan Gold, Newmont—Time to Buy Now?
The gold price is holding firmly above USD 4,000, supported in part by central bank purchases. In May, Poland, China, and Chile increased their reserves by a net total of 41 metric tons, with China marking its 20th consecutive month of increases. According to a survey, 89% of central banks expect their holdings to continue growing, and 45% plan to make additional purchases in the coming year. This fundamental tailwind is boosting the entire sector. That is reason enough to take a closer look at Barrick Mining, a gold and copper producer; Lahontan Gold, an up-and-coming Nevada gold producer; and industry leader Newmont.

These Are the Leaders in a League of Their Own! Despite price surges at Almonty, Micron, and Aixtron, Is There More Upside Ahead?
Over the past 12 months, stocks in the AI, commodities, and defence sectors have, on the whole, been investor favourites. Price surges were increasingly common. In the meantime, a correction set in that affected all sectors for various reasons. Despite rising defence budgets, investor sentiment toward defence stocks has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks. Meanwhile, signs of overheating in the AI sector have eased, although the financial results of leading AI companies continue to reflect a strong long-term structural growth trend. Commodity stocks also corrected after a spectacular run. Almonty Industries has been a notable exception. The company continues its relentless rise toward becoming the largest producer of the critical metal tungsten in the Western world—a truly unique competitive position. So, where do these market leaders go from here?

Panic in the Multi-Billion-Dollar Market: Novo Nordisk and Halozyme Therapeutics Face Headwinds—BioNxt Solutions Nears a Turning Point
The global pharmaceutical market is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Yet one of the industry's most surprising realities is that success increasingly depends not only on the active ingredient itself but also on how it is delivered. This does not refer to the cardboard box, but to the dosage form. Whenever patents expire, and blockbuster drugs face competition, innovative biotech companies seize the opportunity. New drug delivery technologies can transform well-known substances into more effective medicines, reduce side effects, and open up entirely new treatment options for patients. While established pharmaceutical giants spend vast sums defending market exclusivity, agile second-tier biotech companies are driving innovation through next-generation drug delivery platforms.

The Patent Cliff Could Cost Billions: How Bayer and Merck & Co. Respond—and How Vidac Pharma Is Gaining Momentum
Leading oncology centers have long recognized that the fight against cancer cannot be won with just one active ingredient. It is increasingly clear that lasting treatment success depends on combining multiple therapeutic approaches. For years, oncologists relied heavily on conventional chemotherapy. Yet tumours consistently prove resilient and demand more complex therapies. Since patents on many active ingredients are expiring anyway, new, complementary forms of therapy are gaining prominence. One of these therapies targets the disrupted energy metabolism of cancer cells and shows promise. We examine the market and introduce an exciting biotech company that few experts are familiar with.

Drones, Energy Storage and Power: Opportunities in SanDisk, Volatus Aerospace and 2G Energy
Markets remain extremely volatile. Two developments are currently dominating investor sentiment. The first is the sharp volatility in AI-related stocks, illustrated by South Korea's KOSPI index, which has recently been swinging by 5% to 8% on an almost daily basis. The second is the conflict in the Persian Gulf, with oil prices continuing to drive both bond and equity markets. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, while access to the Red Sea has become increasingly difficult. These disruptions are influencing prices across asset classes, from crude oil to government bonds. In periods like these, investors should keep a cool head and focus on the themes we have highlighted for months. For the administration in Washington, few priorities are more important than supporting the US stock market. At the same time, it is keen to keep US Treasury yields under control, as higher borrowing costs would make refinancing the country's enormous national debt, now approaching USD 40 trillion, significantly more difficult. Against this backdrop, investors should continue to weigh both the risks and the opportunities in the market. Today, we take a closer look at SanDisk, Volatus Aerospace and 2G Energy.
