Many topics are dominating the headlines. Peace in Gaza – and soon in Ukraine? This prospect initially put a significant damper on defense stocks – but only temporarily. After just a few days of correction, prices are already rising again. Gold at an all-time high is another major topic being covered in the media. Meanwhile, the geopolitical shifts we were reluctant to acknowledge for far too long are now catching up with many companies: China is cutting the world off from critical raw materials and rare earths. Read here to find out how investors can identify promising high-potential opportunities in this constellation.

    Power Metallic Mines – Significant price potential!

    The Canadian exploration company Power Metallic Mines specializes in polymetallic deposits. These are ore bodies containing several valuable and strategically important metals such as copper, nickel, gold, silver, and platinum group elements (PGEs). The Company is currently advancing its NISK project in Quebec, with the goal of defining an economic resource and developing a mine built on high ESG standards.

    Due to its diversity, the property has the potential to become a one-stop shop for industrial and tech companies. In the current year, the Canadians have expanded their land package to around 213 square kilometers and are currently conducting one of the most extensive drilling programs in the country. Highlights of recent drilling include 22.66 meters with 4.57% copper equivalent – an extremely high value. Geologically, the property is reminiscent of large deposits such as Sudbury or Norilsk – this illustrates the potential of the stock and has already led to very good price performance in recent years.

    The Company is well financed to carry out the planned drilling program through the end of 2026. This means that a challenge often faced by exploration companies has been successfully and sustainably addressed under the leadership of experienced CEO Terry Lynch. In addition, the Company's goal of international diversification provides an extra layer of stability.

    Analysts, including Roth MKM, have given the stock a "Buy" rating and set a price target of CAD 2.50, implying upside potential of around 70% from the current price level. The Company's market capitalization currently stands at CAD 340 million.

    RENK – Short and sharp price correction

    The Augsburg-based company is among a small group of leading global suppliers in drive technology and drive systems for both military and civilian applications. This makes the Company more diversified than other players. RENK benefits not only from the growing global defense demand but also from growth areas in civilian applications, such as sustainable drive systems, hybrid solutions, and renewable energy.

    Within a short period of time, the share price has corrected from EUR 90 to EUR 60. On average, analysts assign the stock a price target of EUR 72, indicating only moderate upside potential from the current level.

    BYD – Attractive valuation and a host of competitive advantages

    BYD represents outstanding success in the field of electromobility. Its country of origin is anything but a disadvantage, especially against the backdrop of increasing global raw material shortages. The Company's vertical integration has become a key competitive advantage, as BYD produces its own electric motors and control systems, thereby reducing dependencies and costs. In addition, the Company is expanding aggressively internationally. Last year, BYD significantly outperformed US rival Tesla in terms of sales, highlighting its strong global momentum.

    The Company is currently valued at USD 128 billion on the stock market. In view of its growth, the shares are priced at a moderate 2026 P/E ratio of 26. Analysts are optimistic about the stock and see an average upside potential of 30%.


    Power Metallic Mines could become the next big commodity play on the stock market. The stock is still under the radar of many institutional investors. That could soon change due to the high quality and complexity of the project. RENK resumed its upward trend after a correction. BYD offers a compelling and intact growth story.

    Trump plans to invest over USD 1.5 trillion into the military! Opportunity for Rheinmetall and Graphano Energy!? CAUTION with Standard Lithium!

    A bombshell on Wednesday! US President Donald Trump wants to increase military spending to USD 1.5 trillion per year. Already this year, the US is spending USD 901 billion on its military, more than any other country. In addition to US defense contractors, other companies could also benefit. One example is Graphano Energy. The Company is developing a graphite deposit in Canada. Graphite is considered a critical input for the military supply chain. Germany's largest defense contractor, Rheinmetall, is also hoping for growth in the US. Lithium producers are already being supported by the US government, which benefits Standard Lithium. However, Fitch is questioning market expectations.

    It is January 2026, and global commodity markets are experiencing a tectonic shift that has surprised even seasoned market observers. Silver, long derided as gold's sedate little brother, has thrown off its historical shackles. After an unprecedented price explosion of 147% in 2025, the precious metal is now trading at over USD 74 per ounce. But unlike in previous cycles, this rise is not primarily driven by speculation, but is based on physical scarcity. Industry, led by solar giants and the AI hardware sector, is sucking the market dry. In an environment where companies such as JinkoSolar and AMD are fighting for every gram of conductive material, explorers such as Silver Viper Minerals are moving into the spotlight. They possess what the global economy is desperately seeking: new, high-grade deposits in secure jurisdictions.
