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.

    China's dominance in batteries for electric vehicles is a cause for concern among Western politicians. In their speeches, they regularly promise to reduce dependence on Beijing. Little has happened so far. But the tide is slowly turning—though those in power are playing more of a supporting role. The key players work for publicly traded companies like HPQ Silicon, IBU-tec, and AMG Critical Materials. We take a look at how this trio plans to make Europe's battery industry competitive.

    Who would have thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would trigger a boom in renewable energy and alternative mobility concepts? As a result of the conflict he initiated in the Persian Gulf and the rising prices for fossil fuels, not only are electric vehicle and heat pump sales increasing, but a broader shift in mindset is also becoming evident in many countries. Interest in solar and wind energy is rising significantly. After all, who wants to remain permanently dependent? But which companies stand to benefit from this development? We take a look at the stocks of BYD, RE Royalties, and SMA Solar.

    Automotive Supply Chain Reset: Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and ESG Leader Power Metallic Mines

    • Batteries

    The automotive industry is under immense pressure: its supply chains for essential battery raw materials such as nickel, copper, and cobalt urgently need to become independent of Chinese imports. According to reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA), China currently controls around 80% of global production capacity for lithium-ion batteries and as much as 97% of the value chain for anode materials. A one-month supply stoppage would result in losses of over USD 8.5 billion in the European Union alone, according to the agency. While automakers such as Ford are transitioning production at their Cologne plant to all-electric fleets and require secure sources of raw materials in stable jurisdictions to do so, Mercedes-Benz is pursuing a strategy of direct participation in mining projects to ensure compliance with the strict environmental standards of its Ambition 2039 initiative. In this tense market environment, Power Metallic Mines is specifically exploring copper, nickel, and platinum group metal deposits in Canada. The flagship project is the Nisk project in Quebec, which is set to supply the entire range of key metals. By utilizing modern exploration technologies, the company is precisely identifying the resources that are indispensable for the next generation of high-performance batteries and catalysts for the automotive giants.
