Could Rheinmetall, together with OHB, soon challenge Elon Musk's Starlink and Airbus? At any rate, OHB's share price reacted with a jump of more than 50%. Finexity shares have also surged. Following its pilot project with a savings bank, the Company has brought another exciting partner on board for its marketplace for tokenized assets. The price jump is likely to be just the beginning, as the market capitalization remains low. By contrast, D-Wave shares are showing no signs of slowing down. The Company has successfully completed an important acquisition, which is expected to be a milestone in strengthening its leading position in the quantum computing space.

    Finexity: Strong partners fuel share price speculation

    Finexity shares recorded a strong move at the start of 2026. Sometimes it just takes a little longer for a stock market newcomer with a revolutionary business model to establish itself among investors. With its platform, the Hamburg-based company is on its way to becoming the market leader for tokenized private market investments in Europe. On this platform, real estate, infrastructure projects, and luxury goods can be issued as tradable securities - with greater transparency and lower costs. This gives investors the opportunity to diversify their investment portfolios.

    After announcing a pilot project with Sparkasse Bremen in December, Finexity has started the new year with two pieces of positive news. In order to inform potential customers about the opportunities offered by the private capital market and to provide concrete investment opportunities, the Company is cooperating with the EGRO media group. It is one of Germany's largest weekly newspaper publishers, with around 70 publications and up to ten million weekly readers.

    In the future, private market experts and independent analysts will regularly share investment knowledge, explain market developments, and highlight investment ideas. Investors can invest via the joint platform. The platform will start with investments in the renewable energy sector.

    In addition to being a trading platform for tokenized investments, Finexity is also active as a structuring and financing partner. In this area, the Hamburg-based company will accompany the WEISSENHAUS Private Nature Luxury Resort as its exclusive lead investment manager on a long-term basis. The historic castle estate on a 75-hectare site on the Baltic Sea coast is one of the most renowned luxury resorts in Germany.

    The issuance of a tokenized, land charge-secured bond with a volume of EUR 1.5 million is already underway on the Finexity trading platform. The transaction is already seeing substantial demand from institutional investors in the run-up to its launch. The issuance is part of the financing of investments in the expansion and modernization of the resort.

    Note: Anyone who would like to learn more about the exciting developments at Finexity firsthand should register for the upcoming International Investment Forum ii-forum.com on February 25, 2026. CEO Paul Huelsmann will be presenting live.

    Rheinmetall: Competition with Airbus and Elon Musk?

    A bombshell at Rheinmetall. Germany's largest defense contractor plans to expand its business model to include a space component. This would mark Rheinmetall's entry into a field that has so far been dominated by established European players such as Airbus and, globally, above all by Elon Musk with his company Starlink. According to consistent media reports, the Düsseldorf-based company is in talks with Bremen-based satellite specialist OHB about a cooperation or even a joint venture. Together, they plan to participate in upcoming public tenders. The focus is on a "Starlink-like" project for the German Armed Forces. A satellite-based communications network (Low Earth Orbit/LEO) is to securely connect military units such as vehicles, ships, and soldiers. The dimensions of the project are considerable. Reports indicate up to around 200 satellites and an order volume in the billions.

    What is currently also known: "Reuters", citing a source familiar with the matter, reports that talks are ongoing, although they are said to be at an early stage. The specific procurement structure defined by the German Armed Forces is likely to be decisive. A cooperation between the two companies appears logical in principle. Bremen-based OHB brings years of satellite and system expertise to the table. Rheinmetall, Germany's largest defense contractor, brings access to military customers as well as the necessary financial strength, integration capabilities, and scaling expertise. The Financial Times points to Germany's ambition to reduce dependencies and mobilize additional budgets for military space technologies. It remains to be seen whether this will actually result in real "competition" for Airbus and Starlink.

    Rheinmetall shares did not react positively to the reports at the beginning of the week. However, the share price has risen by around 17% so far this year. OHB shares, which are now only traded on the Hamburg Stock Exchange following their official delisting, shot up by over 30% on Monday and by another 10% yesterday. This means that the security has almost doubled in value in January 2026 alone.

    D-Wave: Consolidates market leadership

    In contrast, D-Wave shares are weakening in January 2026. In recent trading days, the stock has fallen by over 10%. While quantum stocks are not currently the focus of investors, D-Wave Quantum is continuing its strategic course.

    The quantum computing specialist has successfully completed the acquisition of Quantum Circuits. Circuits is a leading developer of error-corrected superconducting gate-model quantum computer systems. D-Wave expects the acquisition to significantly accelerate the development of a scalable, error-corrected gate-model quantum computer alongside and complementary to its commercial annealing quantum computer systems.

    From D-Wave's perspective, the acquisition is a milestone that will finally establish it as the world's leading quantum computing company. It is the world's first and only quantum computing company with two platforms, developing annealing and gate model quantum computing systems to solve the full range of complex computing problems faced by its customers. D-Wave's Advantage2TM annealing quantum systems are already being used by customers and have proven their superiority over classical computers.

    For D-Wave's gate model program, Quantum Circuits brings industry-leading dual-rail qubits that significantly simplify and improve error correction, which is critical for the deployment of commercially viable gate model quantum computers. Quantum Circuits' dual-rail qubits combine the speed of superconducting gate model qubits with the accuracy of ion trap and neutral atom qubits – a significant breakthrough in industry that is currently unmatched by any other quantum computer provider.


    Defense, quantum computing, and tokenized investments are megatrends. Rheinmetall, D-Wave, and Finexity are each among the leading players in their respective industries. Finexity, however, is still in its infancy and therefore offers considerable upside potential. The share price has finally started to move and, given its current market capitalization, still appears to have room to run.

    Three trend industries are currently the focus of strategic investors: critical raw materials, energy infrastructure, and storage technologies. While geopolitical tensions are reshaping supply chains, the boom in artificial intelligence and electromobility is driving up demand for metals and power capacity. At the same time, decarbonization and grid stability require huge investments in long-term storage and modern infrastructure. Those who are well-positioned here could be on the verge of a structural growth spurt.

    Dual return profile: How Antimony Resources combines the security of MP Materials with the potential of Albemarle

    In the world of strategic raw materials, true giants often emerge out of necessity. When global supply chains break down, geopolitical alliances crumble, and national security is suddenly at stake, the capital market often responds with a radical revaluation of those companies that hold the strategic solutions. We have observed this phenomenon exemplified by MP Materials, which rose from obscurity to become the indispensable pillar of the American defense industry and delivered dream returns to investors as the only relevant US producer of rare earths. We have also seen this with Albemarle, which transformed itself from a specialized chemical company into the undisputed lithium king of electromobility when the world realized that without lithium, a transport revolution would be impossible.

    Western countries are facing a major challenge. NATO is calling for record defense spending, while electromobility continues to advance unabated. Germany alone will have a defense budget of over EUR 108 billion in 2026, while global demand for high-performance batteries is set to more than double by 2030. This pincer movement of security constraints and the energy transition is overwhelming traditional industries, but it is opening a window of opportunity for specialized technology leaders who master both worlds. In this tense environment, three companies are catching the attention of investors: BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield.
