Industrial Energy Transition: Air Liquide, Forgent, and SME Favorite A.H.T. Syngas
Today, more than ever, the industrial climate transition requires a technological mix of suitable infrastructure and highly efficient, decentralized gasification solutions. This need is further exacerbated by the current geopolitical situation and the ongoing energy crisis resulting from the Iran conflict. Since the disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has led to a significant loss of global liquefied natural gas supply, companies are desperately seeking alternatives to secure their energy supply. According to forecasts by the International Energy Agency (IEA), fossil fuel procurement costs will remain high, further increasing the urgency of industrial decarbonization. In this market environment, a two-way split is emerging. While market leader Air Liquide offers suitable solutions for heavy industry through the establishment of hydrogen hubs and CO₂ capture, specialized providers are competing for the enormous opportunities in the energy utilization of waste and other residual materials. We present the opportunities.

DRONE STRATEGY: AEROVIRONMENT, VOLATUS AEROSPACE, OR DRONESHIELD – WHICH ONE WILL TAKE OFF AGAIN?
The stock market has not failed to notice that drones play a key role in modern warfare. At one point, anything related to unmanned aviation was being snapped up as if there were no tomorrow. But since fall 2025, the high-flying days are over. Even good news barely moves stock prices anymore—a consequence of high valuations. Will stocks like AeroVironment, Volatus Aerospace, and DroneShield take off again? And, if so, does it make more sense to invest in companies that manufacture drones, or in those that shoot them down?

Gold Production Starting Soon, PEA Covers Only 10% of the Resource—the Rest Is Currently a Free Bonus at Desert Gold Ventures
Mali provides the cash flow, Côte d'Ivoire the potential—that is the simple equation at Desert Gold. While most junior miners are still struggling to secure their next round of financing, the Canadians are already constructing a gravity plant. Permits are in place, funding has been secured, and construction is underway. Those who wait may end up paying more later. Once the first ounce of gold is produced, the valuation logic typically changes fundamentally. This article explains why the pre-production phase could represent the more attractive entry point.

Gold Shrugs Off the Oil Crisis – Who Are the Winners? Barrick Mining, DRC Gold, and Occidental Petroleum in the Spotlight
The stock market is showing its volatile side. Gold, however, remains unfazed, even as the Middle East conflict escalates and gas prices at the pump shoot up. While oil is once again becoming a geopolitical flashpoint, the precious metal is sending a remarkable signal of stability and weathering the storm of the crisis. On the stock markets, sentiment fluctuates between nervousness and opportunism, yet it is precisely here that the most exciting opportunities often arise. Investors ask themselves almost daily: Is this the calm before the next storm, or the beginning of a new recovery rally? Investors are focusing on industry giants like Barrick Mining, high-growth newcomers like DRC Gold, and the secret winner of the oil crisis, Occidental Petroleum. Who stands to benefit the most from this explosive mix? One thing is clear: in this environment, trends shift faster than many portfolios can react.

Hot Plays for Tomorrow's Power Supply: Are Siemens Energy, Nordex, and Standard Uranium About to Take Off?
Big money follows the power. While the major players in wind and grid technology, like Siemens Energy and Nordex, are finally regaining profitability after years of uncertainty, a smaller player in the far north of Canada is quietly preparing to move up the ranks. It is no longer just about green promises, but about hard market data and strategic raw material security. Can the German heavyweights sustain their upward momentum? And is Standard Uranium, after a painfully long sideways phase, really on the verge of doubling? We have analyzed the latest developments and highlighted why these three stocks could be set to move right now. The market is still catching its breath—but the calm before the storm may pass faster than many investors expect. Read on to see what signals the sector is sending at this moment.

Trash and the Hunger for Power: How Waste Management, Zefiro Methane, and NextEra Energy Are Doing Good - and Making Money
Whether it is abandoned or so-called "orphaned" gas wells, mountains of medical waste, or contaminated land, the United States is grappling with the byproducts of its own economic activity. Yet within this challenge lies a significant opportunity—and some companies are capitalizing on it. For example, Waste Management is expanding into medical waste disposal to unlock new growth verticals. Zefiro Methane focuses on locating and sealing abandoned oil and gas wells. This is not only good for the environment but also for the bottom line. NextEra Energy, meanwhile, is satisfying the AI industry's hunger for energy and storage—in a sustainable manner.

Nel ASA, HPQ Silicon, Wacker Chemie: The Energy Transition Faces a Silicon Bottleneck – Time to Invest
Europe's hydrogen revolution hinges on critical micromaterials such as silicon for electrolysers and fumed silica as a thermal stabilizer in fuel cells. The EU currently imports around 80% of these materials from Asia, but the Critical Raw Materials Act now mandates 40% local value creation by 2030. Whoever closes this supply gap can effectively turn geopolitical risk into returns. We take a closer look at how Nel ASA, HPQ Silicon, and Wacker Chemie are scaling fumed silica, high-purity silicon, and electrolyser technologies profitably.

This Gold Stock Is Attracting Investors! Lahontan Gold Poised for a Revaluation
Those who are not unsettled by the recent weakness in gold prices may currently find an attractive entry opportunity in the sector. There are several compelling reasons to consider shares of Lahontan Gold. In recent years, the company has focused on developing a massive gold deposit, with production set to begin as early as next year. And not just anywhere, but in what is arguably one of the best mining regions in the world. With the production start approaching, Lahontan Gold is stepping up its investor relations efforts. Most recently, founder and CEO Kimberly Ann presented at the Munich Capital Markets Conference (MKK). You can tell right away that she's passionate about the company. Her presentation clearly reflected strong conviction in the company's strategy, highlighting both the value already created and the potential upside for shareholders. With production nearing, the company is also planning a Wall Street listing. At current levels, the stock appears far from expensive.

Almonty Industries: Tungsten Price at Record Levels, Signaling New Stock Highs
The price of tungsten has reached a new record high of over USD 3,200 per metric ton unit (MTU). Is this an overreaction or the new reality? Much points to a fundamentally changed long-term market situation with high prices for this critical raw material. Due to its unique properties, tungsten is an essential raw material for many industries, particularly the defense sector but also the semiconductor industry. Demand is rising dramatically, while supply cannot keep up. China dominates the market with an overwhelming 80% share, but a significant shift in favor of Western industrialized nations is underway. Almonty is emerging as the world's largest tungsten producer outside of China. Consequently, the company holds great geopolitical significance, which, despite its spectacular performance, has not yet been adequately reflected in the stock price.

DRONE STOCKS: Laggard Rheinmetall, Specialist DroneShield, and Hidden Gem HPQ Silicon
Rheinmetall's stock has been a disappointment this year. Although global defense spending is on the rise, Germany's largest defense contractor lacks momentum. However, the company did recently announce an exciting contract in the drone sector. The Düsseldorf-based company finally appears to be gaining a foothold in this segment. HPQ Silicon aims to extend drone flight times. Beyond that, the company has several other exciting technologies in its portfolio. The stock is still a hidden gem. However, this is unlikely to remain the case for much longer. The batteries are performing well in tests, and commercialization is set to begin. DroneShield specializes in drone defense. The stock was one of the rising stars of recent years. Currently, however, the stock is struggling. Yet performance in Q1 was positive, and the pipeline is fully loaded.
