Stocks to Buy Now? TeamViewer, Infineon and HPQ Silicon: AI, Semiconductors and Battery Technology in Focus
Has Infineon become a buying opportunity after it corrected over 20%? Analysts at mwb have at least withdrawn their Sell recommendation. They expect the German semiconductor company to deliver strong growth over the coming years, although they believe its valuation remains ambitious. HPQ Silicon currently appears more attractively valued. The Canadian technology company plans to begin commercializing various technologies this year, and recent news flow has been encouraging. A key question is whether it can achieve a breakthrough with its military-grade battery cell technology. As for TeamViewer, it remains to be seen whether the company will be among the winners or losers of the AI boom. Could a partnership with ServiceNow provide fresh momentum for the stock? The goal is not only to detect IT problems but also to increasingly resolve them automatically with the help of AI agents.

The Drone Revolution: Palantir and Lockheed Martin Forced to Innovate—Volatus Aerospace Follows Ukraine's Lead
The days when tanks weighing several metric tons or extremely expensive fighter jets determined victory or defeat on the battlefield are over. As a look at modern warfare shows, it is now primarily the seamless interaction between hardware and software that determines actual success. Those who cannot coordinate algorithms and sensor technology in real time will fall behind. Ukraine is currently demonstrating this impressively, as it now launches more drones for counterattacks against Russia than the aggressor itself. This illustrates that, for NATO, security also means building an agile defence industry that can respond flexibly to requirements. We take a look at three companies in the industry and highlight opportunities.

The "Magnificent Seven" Stumble, Dragging the S&P 500 Lower; Oil Tops USD 90; VIX Surges – Barrick Mining, Deutsche Börse, DRC Gold, Alphabet, Tesla
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla make up the "Magnificent Seven" and account for roughly one-third of the S&P 500's market capitalization. When two of these heavyweights, Alphabet and Tesla, come under pressure, the broader market feels the impact. Their declines alone shaved around 0.6% off the S&P 500, while the VIX volatility index surged by as much as 17%. Meanwhile, WTI crude oil climbed nearly 5% to above USD 90 per barrel, boosting energy stocks such as Chevron and ExxonMobil. Industrial names, including Caterpillar and Deere, also gained ground. Gold and silver prices also stabilized after recent weakness, while government bonds came under renewed selling pressure as rising inflation expectations pushed yields higher.

The Week of Truth: Jitters at Amazon, Cool Heads at Vertiv, Bright Prospects at American Atomics
This week is crunch time. Two tech stocks, two earnings dates, one question: How much should artificial intelligence cost? Nervousness is spreading, especially at Amazon, ahead of its quarterly earnings report this coming Thursday. Following Alphabet's results from last week, one thing seems clear: those who invest heavily in AI infrastructure and data centers will be penalized. What appears as a billion-dollar line item on Amazon's expense sheet ends up as an order in the books of cooling specialist Vertiv. Consequently, Vertiv is taking a calm view of the numbers expected on Wednesday. Lurking in the background is a third stock that hardly anyone has on their radar yet: American Atomics. For now, the Canadian uranium explorer is worth little more on the stock market than a medium-sized trade business—yet it could tip the scales for the reactors that tech giants use to power their data centers.

Volkswagen Under Pressure! Is Porsche AG Ready to Accelerate? RE Royalties Near a Technical Breakout?
The world remains mired in a web of conflicts and wars, leaving financial markets repeatedly holding their breath. Geopolitically, we appear to be heading towards a scenario that would have seemed unthinkable only a short time ago. Will the conflict with Iran escalate further? Are we facing devastating large-scale US air strikes in the Middle East, following the deployment of B-1 bombers to the region? Could the situation even escalate to the use of a tactical nuclear weapon, or is this historic sabre-rattling ultimately a calculated bluff by global powers—designed to trigger panic before the next major "TACO trade" unfolds? While investors grapple with uncertainty, Europe's traditional industries are coming under increasing pressure. The automotive sector and its suppliers are particularly vulnerable. Even iconic German industrial giants such as Volkswagen are showing signs of strain, prompting an increasingly uncomfortable question: Will Volkswagen still exist in five years? In this historic context, the wheat is truly being separated from the chaff. While traditional industries and corporations are fighting for their very survival, smaller niche players are seeing significant opportunities emerge. We take a closer look at where investors may still be able to generate attractive returns.

Keep Your Eyes Open! These Small Caps Are at a Critical Turning Point: North Arrow Minerals, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, and Lang & Schwarz!
For stock pickers, it is the opportunity that counts—regardless of whether the potential alpha lies in commodities, industrials, or financial services. On top of that, small- and micro-cap stocks fly under the radar of the masses. This comes with both advantages and disadvantages. Patient investors who put the puzzle together correctly can benefit from this. In the case of Heidelberger Druck, the transition from a traditional machinery manufacturer to a technology group is being overlooked. As for Lang & Schwarz, the market is interpreting the loss of a major client almost as a failure of the business model—even though that model is actually based on multiple pillars. At North Arrow Minerals, exploration progress underscores the potential of the flagship Kraaipan Gold project. Well-known investors have already gotten on board. Who will come out on top?

A Moment of Truth, Bankruptcy Fears, or Comeback? Plug Power & Nel ASA Fight for Survival! Will Lahontan Gold See a Technical Breakout?
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and an escalation in the Iran conflict are currently causing further turmoil in global financial markets. Crude oil prices are climbing noticeably, while uncertainty among market participants grows by the day. How much higher can prices go, or will peace negotiations resume? The news suggests otherwise. B-1 bombers are being sent to, or redeployed to, the Middle East. Yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds have risen to 4.7%—the highest level this year. In any case, with the resurgent oil price shock, inflation also threatens to pick up again, which could pose significant challenges for central banks worldwide. In this nervous market environment, investors are desperately searching for clear reference points and promising tangible assets. While traditional hydrogen pioneers such as Plug Power and Nel ASA continue to struggle to maintain their own stability and liquidity, select commodity stocks may offer better prospects. In these turbulent times, investors looking to build a more resilient portfolio need to take a closer look.

AeroVironment, Volatus Aerospace, Kratos Defense—Canada Takes on the US Drone Giants
Drones have evolved from a niche product into one of the defence industry's most important future markets. Billions are pouring into autonomous reconnaissance systems, combat drones, and modern defence technologies. While established US corporations are winning ever-larger government contracts, a Canadian challenger, backed by civilian cash flow, NATO business, and new production capacity, could be on the verge of its next growth spurt.

IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS AT EQUINOR, NERVOUSNESS AT MUNICH RE, A SENSE OF OPTIMISM AT ZEFIRO METHANE
Hardly any other greenhouse gas warms the atmosphere as quickly as methane. That is why a new, still-emerging market for climate credits is developing around the elimination of methane leaks. Investors can profit even in this early phase. Shares of three companies in particular are well-suited for this. Canadian remediation specialist Zefiro Methane provides the service, the long-established German conglomerate Munich Re insures the associated risks, and the Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor represents the buyer side. While Equinor is benefiting from high oil and gas prices and reporting stellar quarterly results, nervousness is spreading at Munich Re because the executive board intends to review the annual forecast once again. At Zefiro Methane, on the other hand, there is a genuine sense of optimism, driven by a fully loaded order book.

Cameco Had to Buy Uranium on the Open Market – NexGen Opts Out of Offtake Agreements – Standard Uranium Receives a "Gift"
Now Saudi Arabia has entered the picture as well. The recent nuclear deal with the US underscores that nuclear power is on the rise. The reason is clear: AI data centers require climate-neutral baseload power. However, nuclear reactors need uranium fuel—and uranium is anything but abundant. At the same time, Western sanctions against Russian uranium are further tightening an already constrained global supply. Amid this supply gap, a remote region in northern Canada is increasingly attracting investor attention. The Athabasca Basin is home to the world's largest uranium deposits. While established industry leaders and advanced developers already command multi-billion-dollar valuations, investors are searching for the next discovered success stories in the world's premier uranium district. We take a closer look at the investment landscape in the Athabasca Basin.
