Three Tech Stocks for Your Portfolio: SanDisk, HPQ Silicon, and Nokia Oyj
The tech sector is booming like never before thanks to the expansion of AI data centers. The situation on the stock markets is often compared to the dot-com bubble around the turn of the millennium. However, analysts see the possibility that this trend could continue for a few more years. And now even Google's parent company, Alphabet, is tapping the capital markets to raise more than USD 80 billion. So the boom is unbroken, and the AI hyperscalers are ready to invest heavily. The superstar of the past 18 months is SanDisk, which we are taking a closer look at today, along with the Finnish tech veteran Nokia. It is also worth taking a look at the Canadian company HPQ Silicon, which plans to commercialize three groundbreaking technologies over the next two years.

BYD, Power Metallic Mines, Intel: Electric Vehicles and AI Data Centers Are Driving a Copper Crisis
The future runs on electricity, relies on AI, and is being held back by an unassuming metal. Copper, the "red gold" of the energy transition, is becoming a bottleneck. While data centers for language models and autonomous fleets are ramping up their capacity, the supply from mines is drying up. The London Metal Exchange recently reported a 150,000-ton deficit, a reversal of 350,000 tons within a year. Those who do not rethink their strategy now will miss out on the biggest redistribution since the oil shock. We are therefore taking a closer look at BYD as a representative of electric vehicle manufacturers, Power Metallic Mines with its polymetallic deposit rich in copper, and Intel as an indirect consumer of copper through its AI infrastructure.

Energy Transition Meets AI Boom: Siemens Energy, RE Royalties, and NextEra Energy in Focus
The rapid expansion of renewable energy is colliding with the insatiable appetite for electricity driven by artificial intelligence. This collision is creating a demand gap in the electricity sector unlike anything seen before. While data centers are popping up worldwide, the expansion of wind and solar power plants can barely keep up. The result is a structural shortage of clean electricity. Investors can benefit from this perfect environment. Those who bet on the right companies now can benefit disproportionately from this convergence of megatrends. That is why we are looking today at Siemens Energy as a technology supplier, RE Royalties as an innovative financier, and NextEra Energy as the largest producer of green energy.

Simple and Brutal: No Nuclear Power, No AI - Why American Atomics, Infineon, and Aixtron Play Key Roles
The energy demand of artificial intelligence and data centres is enormous. Studies consistently show that no single energy source will be sufficient; instead, a diversified energy mix will be required to meet rising global electricity consumption. Storage solutions and the critical bottleneck of grid expansion remain key challenges. A strong growth trend that has so far received too little attention is nuclear energy. In this context, American Atomics is positioning itself within the nuclear value chain. AI-driven demand is driving growth for Aixtron and Infineon; both companies hold strong market positions but operate in different segments of the value chain. The key question for investors is whether, after the strong share price performance to date, there is still upside potential in these names.

Software Stocks Are Dominating the AI Cycle: SAP, ServiceNow, Oracle, and Globex Mining Are in Higher Demand Than Ever!
Just one month ago, software stocks were in the midst of a sell-off. SAP hit a low of EUR 135, Oracle also hit USD 135 in April, and ServiceNow did not stop until USD 81, after the stock had traded above USD 230. All irrational? It could be, because the market recognizes that the "established players in the sector," unlike pure-play AI companies, possess the critical data infrastructure. With this foundation, generative and "agentic AI" can be integrated into real business processes, thereby generating recurring revenue. Analysts now view these software stocks as "winners of the next AI phase" because they combine scalable AI solutions with established customer relationships, offering both short-term cash flows and long-term growth potential. It is worth taking a closer look at the numbers.

Dell, Zefiro Methane, Snowflake: AI and Climate Action Drive Record-Breaking Markets
Artificial intelligence, climate protection, and digital infrastructure are among the strongest growth drivers of the coming years. While the global expansion of data centers is triggering billions in investments and causing demand for high-performance IT hardware and cloud platforms to skyrocket, a new environmental market is emerging in parallel, centred on reducing climate-damaging methane emissions. Government subsidy programs and stricter regulations are accelerating the retrofitting of old energy infrastructure. Those who position themselves early in these future markets could reap disproportionate benefits. The combination of the AI revolution, decarbonization, and growing data demand is opening up opportunities in industries poised for a long-term boom.

Are AI and Data Centers Boosting Plug Power and Nel ASA? RE Royalties and Nordex Under the Microscope
Rising oil and gas prices have dominated the stock market landscape in recent months. But now there are signs of a de-escalation in the Middle East. Commodity markets are already pricing in this relief, even though no political solutions have yet been reached. This means a breather for the recent winners and a chance for fresh investor capital to flow into stocks that have not yet seen their run. "Sustainable energy production" is a buzzword, because in wind energy, for example, it is highly controversial whether the widespread destruction and densification of open spaces and forests makes a positive contribution overall—especially now that a costly electricity surplus has emerged, which taxpayers must subsidize due to long-term funding commitments to investors. The production of green hydrogen is even viable at high energy prices, but in the long term, the technology must become at least 50% cheaper. At the center of these developments is RE Royalties with an innovative financing approach that supports energy projects. We delve a little deeper.

Russell Index Inclusion: Is Almonty on the Verge of a Major Price Breakout?
In the commodities space, companies exposed to critical defence-related metals remain in focus. Almonty Industries is one such name, operating in the tungsten supply chain. The stock is currently consolidating at around CAD 27.30 after reaching an April high of CAD 33.35. But the clock is ticking in the background—though in Almonty's favour, as the Iran conflict continues to escalate despite peace efforts. US missile strikes in the Gulf of Oman and a naval blockade demonstrate that global supply chains are fragile and vulnerable. Added to this is a planned Pentagon ban that would cut off access to tungsten from authoritarian states. This is driving, and has already driven, the price of this critical metal sharply higher. Against this backdrop, Almonty stands out as one of the few established Western tungsten producers. A sustained break above previous highs could open the door to additional upside. Read here to find out why a rare buying opportunity may be available right now.

The AI Boom Requires More Power: Cameco, Standard Uranium, and 2G Energy Stand to Benefit!
Major tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Oracle remain committed to investing in AI data centers. Despite initial negative news (debt, cash flow slump), new analyses show that they are actually increasing their investments. These so-called AI hyperscalers had planned investments in AI infrastructure of around USD 600 to USD 620 billion for 2026. Now, estimates from analysts and market researchers have been significantly revised upward. Accordingly, research firms such as TrendForce and Pimco now anticipate combined capital expenditures of over USD 750 to USD 830 billion for this year. In 2027, this figure is expected to exceed USD 870 billion. According to market observers, around three-quarters of this spending currently goes directly toward AI infrastructure—namely, high-performance GPU clusters, proprietary AI chips, and advanced data centers. However, data centers in particular have an enormous appetite for energy. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption by data centers recently stood at around 415 terawatt-hours (TWh), corresponding to about 1.5% of global electricity demand. By 2030, this figure is expected to more than double. In its more optimistic scenarios, Goldman Sachs even anticipates growth of up to 165%. Yet energy demand remains the industry's bottleneck. In the US in particular, the partly dilapidated grid is overwhelmed by the additional demand. For this reason, many data centers equipped with expensive chips stood idle for months, waiting for grid connection. With demand booming, nuclear energy is making a comeback among suppliers. Canada's market leader Cameco and Standard Uranium stand to benefit directly from this. From Germany, 2G Energy appears to be in the mix. The North Rhine-Westphalia based company has just announced its first order from the United States for its CHP plants.

Volatus Aerospace: Is the Next Drone Giant Coming from Canada?
The global drone market is rapidly evolving into one of the most important future sectors of the defence and security industry. Geopolitical tensions, rising NATO budgets, and the need for autonomous surveillance of critical infrastructure are driving demand massively. Experts expect the market volume for drone defence alone to exceed USD 20 billion by 2030. At the same time, civilian applications such as pipeline, offshore, and power grid inspections are becoming increasingly important. Companies like Volatus Aerospace, which combine hardware, software, and operational services, could benefit disproportionately from this trend. New projects, multi-billion-dollar government programs, and AI-driven systems are currently providing significant momentum.
