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.

    Gold USD 4,300 and Silver USD 53 – Buying frenzy at Silver North, First Majestic, Nel ASA, and JinkoSolar

    • Energy

    Silver has been shorted by many investment banks for several years because sufficient supply was available from Mexico and other producing countries. The tide has turned. Over the past 12 months, the precious metal has caught up with its big brother gold, gaining 54%. There are several reasons for the scarcity-driven rally: there are only around 250 active silver mines worldwide, compared to around 1,400 gold mines. In addition, silver has massively expanded its importance as an industrial metal: it is indispensable in high-tech, e-mobility, defense, and medical technology. As a result, less and less physical silver is available to investors, while inventories on the futures markets continue to decline. Now is the time to take a position in silver. Alongside industry giants such as First Majestic, Silver North is among the most promising beneficiaries of the new silver boom.

    Raw materials alert for defense and technology! Almonty, MP Materials, and Rheinmetall!

    • Mining
    • Tungsten
    • Defense
    • RareEarths
    • CriticalMetals

    Europe faces a growing raw materials challenge. Whether it is rare earths, tungsten, or other critical metals, these resources are essential not only for defense, but for countless industries, including AI. The FAZ recently spoke to Almonty CEO Lewis Black about this, dedicating almost an entire page to the issue. Conclusion: Europe must act. The US has long since taken decisive action, securing access for its industry by investing in raw materials companies such as MP Materials and Lithium Americas. Europe's hesitation could pose a risk for Rheinmetall, even if investors are currently overlooking it - especially as the Company is also expanding in the US. Hopefully, Defense Minister Pistorius will have this issue on his radar during his visit to Canada.
