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.

    Printing, Sports and Gold: Heidelberger Druck, Adidas and Desert Gold Deserve Your Attention Now

    • Gold

    • Commodities
    • Sportswear

    Today, we are looking at three companies that deserve your full attention. Adidas is demonstrating operational strength, yet the market may be viewing the company with undue skepticism. Heidelberger Druck is moving partly away from its traditional printing business and is also eyeing the defence and security sector, where the business outlook appears more promising. Canadian mining company Desert Gold, meanwhile, is approaching a decisive step toward its first gold production. Together, these developments create an interesting mix of industries and warrant a closer look at these three stocks. Because between printing presses, sports shoes and gold bars lie opportunities that investors should know about.

    Broadly speaking, the stock market in Germany, as well as across Europe and globally, is currently under considerable pressure. Two wars in Iran and Ukraine, along with discontent in Germany with the current government, are weighing on markets. In other words, the stock market is under significant strain. The major indices are at or near critical technical levels. Puma, for example, is struggling with margins, while analyst price-target cuts and an upcoming change in the company's head of sales are adding pressure. Novo Nordisk, meanwhile, is facing regulatory headwinds and increasing competition in the US despite rapidly growing future markets in the obesity segment. Volatus Aerospace, by contrast, is raising hopes of a rebound with new government contracts for tactical reconnaissance drones. A technical breakout could make the stock an interesting candidate for strong performance. Read on to learn why Puma still requires plenty of patience, which billion-dollar investments are supporting Novo Nordisk's pipeline, and how investors could potentially take advantage of an entry opportunity in Volatus now.

    Tanks, Ships, and Ammunition: How Rheinmetall, Renk, thyssenkrupp, TKMS and Power Metallic Mines Can Make Your Portfolio Bulletproof

    • geopolitics

    Geopolitical upheavals are throwing global markets into turmoil and forcing investors to rethink their strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear: The European defence industry is heading toward a massive wave of market consolidation. However, disillusionment is setting in among the defence industry's former high-flyers following the initial hype, as the internal work required for integration is far from complete and operational potential has been overestimated. Completely detached from this trend is the Essen-based maritime division, which has secured a front-row seat thanks to a government deal worth billions. A massive fleet order is injecting a whole new dynamic into the sector. Naturally, strategic raw materials are also taking centre stage, since without them, not a single tank can roll, or a single ship can be launched. In this segment, the wheat is currently being separated from the chaff, as concrete facts and proven reserves far outpace utopian dreams of the future. Investors who want to profit from this tension and build a crisis-proof portfolio must now spread their risks extremely wisely across the globe.
