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.

    Autonomous Warfare: AeroVironment and Palantir Challenged – Analysts Give Volatus Aerospace the Thumbs-Up

    The war on the front lines in Ukraine has changed significantly. Large-scale coordinated drone swarms are becoming increasingly rare, as local jammers block bandwidth and slow down Starlink. The result: drones no longer function or make errors. Ukraine's defence strategy is thus forcing a shift from purely cloud-based systems to decentralized architectures with local computing power directly in the drone. Defence contractors and the military must implement these innovations quickly and remain agile. We explain which companies are perfectly positioned for this.

    Copper Super Cycle: Trouble for Nordex? Freeport-McMoRan, Glencore, and Power Metallic Mines benefit!

    • PGMs
    • Copper
    • supercycle

    Copper is typically considered a leading economic indicator. However, the supercycle is turning that rule on its head. While the global economy is faltering, experts predict copper prices will rise to USD 15,000. There are even warnings of a broader "super-squeeze" if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Freeport-McMoRan and Glencore are benefiting from the copper rally. Both of these core investments have already performed well. That makes it worth taking a look at the explorers. And within this group, Power Metallic Mines stands out positively. Analysts see nearly 200% upside potential. At a recent investor conference, management made a strong impression. The first resource estimate is set to be published as early as July. Additional catalysts include a PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) and a NASDAQ listing, which are already in the pipeline. Siemens, Siemens Energy, and Nordex are among the companies that could face medium-term challenges due to high copper prices in Germany. Nordex shares have fallen sharply recently, although a new order provided positive momentum yesterday.

    Gold, Silver, Defence, AI, or the Nasdaq? SpaceX Heads for the US Indices – Defying Weakness with Lahontan Gold

    A remarkable phenomenon is currently unfolding in the markets: virtually everything is weakening. From gold to silver, from high-tech to low-tech, whether AI or hydrogen—every sector is undergoing a correction. So far, however, the pullback remains modest when measured against the extraordinary gains achieved over the past 14 months following the tariff-driven sell-off triggered by Donald Trump. During that period, the Nasdaq effectively doubled. Traders know that a volatile interim low will now be reached, particularly over the summer, before the markets look forward to 2027 with renewed hope. This period needs to be bridged, and there may also be a need for hedging. Historically, gold has served this role well, often gaining value when other asset classes came under pressure. Yet gold itself has been one of the best-performing asset classes over the past two years, leading to some profit-taking here as well. Whether the S&P 500 can absorb additional heavyweights such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Databricks following its historic rally remains to be seen. A fast-track inclusion of SpaceX into the S&P indices was reportedly rejected by S&P Dow Jones, while NASDAQ, Russell, and MSCI are set to list it within a few trading days. This should be exciting! Where are the tangible opportunities for investors?
