Hydrogen Slump and "Tesla Fantasy": How Plug Power, Ballard Power, and First Hydrogen Aim to Regain Momentum
The hydrogen ramp-up in the industrial sector has reached a critical juncture. On the one hand, the scarcity of fossil fuels is driving the need to invest now; on the other hand, the struggling economy is wary of the associated costs. While climate targets remain firmly in place despite recent adjustments within the EU, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects global hydrogen demand to reach a staggering 17,500 terawatt-hours by mid-century, the hydrogen industry is facing mounting pressure. In Germany, policymakers are intensifying this pressure through the national implementation of the EU's RED III Directive. This directive stipulates that, starting in 2026, fuel suppliers must demonstrate compliance with mandatory minimum quotas for renewable fuels. According to calculations by Provaris Energy, failure to comply could result in penalties of EUR 120 per gigajoule, equivalent to an effective surcharge of up to EUR 15 per kilogram of hydrogen. With domestic hydrogen production capacity expected to remain constrained, the pressure to act is mounting. Is the hydrogen economy finally gaining momentum? We take a closer look at the industry and highlight several key companies that could benefit from the next phase of development.

Ukraine – Iran – NATO: The Battle in the Skies Gives Wings to RTX and Lockheed; Rheinmetall and Volatus Aerospace on the Rise!
As long as geopolitical conflicts continue, defence stocks have it easy. That is because they automatically come into focus when new government programs are launched to boost defence capabilities. In July, it was the NATO conference in Ankara. Government officials in attendance surrounded Donald Trump, as the US is the leader in air defence—and this is precisely where both NATO and Ukraine are falling short. When it comes to drones, however, the former Soviet state has made great strides. An entire drone industry was built from the ground up in no time at all. And for several weeks now, they have been piercing through Russia's defensive perimeter and penetrating deep into its energy processing facilities. Ukraine has already taken a quarter of Russia's oil refining capacity out of commission. The West views this progress as a welcome easing of tensions, but is stepping up its investments even further. Chancellor Merz, for example, is ordering the highly sought-after Tomahawk missiles from the US and is even participating in the latest French nuclear exercise. Just as politicians are, investors should also be in the starting blocks to ride the new wave of investment.

Critical Infrastructure and Beyond: The Overlooked Growth Drivers for Volatus Aerospace, Hensoldt, and Nordex
Geopolitical tensions and armed conflicts have fundamentally reshaped the global landscape. As a result, defence capabilities, sovereignty, resilience, digitalization, and the protection of critical infrastructure have become top priorities. Billions are being invested in these areas around the globe. Recent developments have shown just how crucial it is to protect critical infrastructure against sabotage, cyberattacks, and military threats. One company benefiting from these trends is Canadian defence technology specialist Volatus Aerospace. According to analysts, the stock remains significantly undervalued.

Battery Crisis Threatens AeroVironment and Kratos Defence—How HPQ Silicon Could Benefit
It is wartime. Anyone aiming to dominate the skies must think beyond aerodynamics and sensor technology when it comes to drones. The greatest driver of innovation lies in the chemical composition of batteries. As demand for drones across commercial, industrial, and military applications continues to surge, conventional lithium-ion batteries are reaching their limits. The bottleneck lies in the material itself: graphite anodes result in shorter flight times and higher weight. To overcome these limitations, the industry is undergoing a paradigm shift toward silicon-based anodes. This technology significantly increases battery capacity and performance, enabling an entirely new generation of drone applications. We take a closer look at the technology behind this transformation and highlight several companies that stand to benefit.

Gold: Positioning for the Fed with Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver
The Federal Reserve's leadership will meet again on September 16, and the outlook remains highly uncertain. Some market analysts expect interest rate hikes. Conversely, however, some anticipate an interest rate cut—their argument: the US midterm elections are coming up in November. Donald J. Trump wants lower interest rates. He has already made this clear to the new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, in a post on Truth Social. Our view is straightforward: low interest rates are bullish for the stock market. The past 18 months have shown that the President places considerable importance on supporting financial markets. The decision is likely to be a close one, however, and keeping rates unchanged should not be ruled out, especially since the Fed could still act at its October meeting. Either way, we expect interest rates to fall. By then at the latest, the price of gold should start to recover. For weeks, the precious metal has traded in a narrow range around USD 4,000 per ounce. Positive signals from the Fed could provide the catalyst for a breakout. For investors, however, gold mining stocks often offer greater upside than the metal itself. That is why we are taking a closer look at Equinox Gold, Lahontan Gold, and Aya Gold & Silver.

Profit from the Patents and Technological Moats of SAP, MustGrow Biologics, and TSMC
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
In an era where business models can be copied almost as quickly as your morning coffee order, a true competitive advantage no longer comes from good ideas alone. Instead, it is built on the rare kind of technology that cannot easily be replicated—platforms backed by decades of proprietary data, manufacturing processes requiring multi-billion-dollar investments, or patented technologies protected by significant regulatory barriers. Companies that possess these durable competitive moats secure not only margins but entire markets. Three companies embody this approach in completely different ways—and could provide investors with a blueprint for above-average returns. We take a closer look at SAP, MustGrow Biologics, and TSMC.

Bloodbath in Chip Stocks Triggered by Margin Calls? Infineon, Aixtron, LPKF Laser—Is Zefiro Methane Headed for a Golden Future?
Following the historic rally, semiconductor stocks have recently suffered a brutal sell-off. It was not just SK Hynix, Samsung, and SanDisk that came under heavy pressure. German chip-related companies such as Infineon, Aixtron, and LPKF Laser have also lost up to 50% of their value. The decline appears to have been amplified, at least in part, by margin calls in South Korea. What does this mean for going forward? Will the AI boom drive semiconductor stocks higher again? One lesser-known beneficiary of the construction of data centers and energy infrastructure is Zefiro Methane. The company specializes in the remediation of abandoned oil and gas wells, a multi-billion-dollar market in the US. Surging energy demand from the AI sector is creating additional demand for the company's services and could ultimately support higher profit margins. The new partnership with the Well Done Foundation could provide another catalyst, accelerating the company's growth trajectory.

Benefit from the scarcity of energy and raw materials through Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials
The days of speculating on commodity prices are over. Anyone betting on energy and metals today must understand the underlying power dynamics. Who is supplying, who is processing, and who still has access to the key production sites in an era of bloc formation and sanctions? Demand for strategic goods is skyrocketing, while investment in new mines and refineries has stagnated for years. This gap between political will and physical production limits opens up a new playing field for investors. Three completely different business models demonstrate how to capitalize on this trend: Occidental Petroleum, Globex Mining, and MP Materials.

Cameco, American Atomics, and ElringKlinger Make a Splash
The next long-term investment trend is taking shape in the capital markets. While many investors focus on short-term price fluctuations, future markets worth billions are emerging in the background. The expansion of nuclear energy, the industrial use of hydrogen, and the development of independent raw material and supply chains are gaining momentum worldwide. At the same time, the transformation of the automotive industry is opening up new opportunities in the global auto parts business. Companies that benefit early on from these structural developments could be poised for a sustained revaluation.

Nel ASA Reports Dismal Results! ITM Power Enjoys a Cash Windfall! Is dynaCERT Poised for Multi-Bagger Returns?
When an established company posts a quarterly loss that exceeds its revenue, it is fair to describe the results as dismal. That is exactly what happened at Nel ASA. Against this backdrop, the slight decline in the share price can almost be viewed as positive. That said, not everything in the quarterly report was negative. Analysts view developments at dynaCERT positively. If the company succeeds in commercializing its fuel- and emissions-saving technology, the stock could deliver multi-bagger returns. Management currently sees particularly strong growth opportunities in Asia, where the company has already secured its first major orders. Meanwhile, ITM Power's shares have roughly halved in value in recent months. The market's enthusiasm surrounding the partnerships with Rheinmetall and Deutsche Bahn persisted for quite some time. At least the British company can now celebrate a significant cash windfall.
