Nova Pacific Metals, Super Micro Computer and Palantir: The invisible power of the AI future
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how companies produce, but who is driving this revolution? Companies like Nova Pacific Metals, Super Micro Computer, and Palantir provide the raw materials, hardware, and software that are the cornerstones of this turning point. Nova Pacific mines critical metals such as copper and gold in Canada. These are essential raw materials for the smooth operation of data centers. With its LARA project, Nova Pacific is planning its next big move – a versatile, mineral-rich area valued at around CAD 30 million. Super Micro supplies the servers for the AI boom in California, but legal troubles cloud growth, despite partnerships with industry giants like Nvidia. Palantir, on the other hand, is working with Société Générale, France's most important commercial bank, to protect the financial world against money laundering with AI-supported analysis – a testament to the power of its Foundry platform. These "hidden champions" are inextricably linked: from the valuable raw materials to the machines, they shape the AI future from the ground up. Which company will best master the balance between innovation and challenge?

BYD, XXIX Metal Corp, Volkswagen – Copper crowns the electric boom
Electric mobility is gaining momentum worldwide, and copper is becoming an indispensable fuel for this energy transition. Without the metal, there would be a lack of batteries, electric motors, and the necessary infrastructure like charging stations. In the automotive sector, Chinese electric vehicle pioneer BYD is setting the course for its global expansion with a multi-billion dollar share issuance. The Company aims to produce 6 million vehicles in 2025. This boom will benefit the demand for raw materials such as copper. Here, the Company XXIX Metal shines. The Canadian copper explorer holds nearly 5 billion pounds of copper and could become a key player in this boom. Its name says it all: "XXIX" for the Roman numeral 29, which represents the atomic number of copper in the periodic table. Volkswagen can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to relaxed EU CO₂ regulations, but the Company is burdened by the planned US tariffs and technical setbacks. We provide the details.

Bloom Energy, Benton Resources, Alibaba – Exceptional performance
The scandal in the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US President Trump was a defining topic in recent days. The outcome remains uncertain from both a political and economic perspective. Will the missed peace talks now lead to a further downward spiral, or will negotiations be resumed, which could lead to an early end to the terrible war in Ukraine and a rally in the markets? Unaffected by global politics, several companies demonstrated strong momentum and could continue their upward trajectory.

Copper as the key: Siemens Energy, Benton Resources, and Hensoldt are shaping the energy transition and security
Copper is a key factor in shaping the energy transition and security. The green transformation, in particular, is increasing demand. Siemens Energy is driving sustainable electrification and uses recycled material for circuit breakers in its energy transition products - a small step with a big impact. The Company is strengthening its market position in the circular economy and securing a billion-dollar order volume. The Canadian mineral exploration company Benton Resources is profiting from the raw materials boom and expanding its copper deposits in the Great Burnt project in Canada. Experts predict an imminent copper shortage due to the energy transition. Benton Resources can now position itself as a future supplier for this industry. Hensoldt, a specialist in sensor technologies in defense and aerospace, is deepening its drone expertise by cooperating with QinetiQ, thus ensuring geopolitical stability. Read on to find out how these companies combine sustainability, raw materials, and defense.

Renk in the defense boom - Power Metallic Mines and BYD are also high flyers and uniquely positioned
In a world rapidly moving towards decarbonization, companies that have long operated in the shadow of well-known tech giants are suddenly in the spotlight. The EU's agreement on the Critical Raw Materials Act last year highlights how vital access to key resources and innovative manufacturing solutions has become. The stocks of the three companies presented here have one thing in common: they have risen significantly in recent weeks. Renk through high-precision technology for the defense and automotive industries, Power Metallic Mines through essential metals, and BYD through disruptive mobility concepts.

Rheinmetall, XXIX Metal, Newmont – The Merz trade is on
The traffic light coalition is history. Chancellor Olaf Scholz suffered a shipwreck and achieved the worst election result for the SPD in the post-war period. The new strong man at the helm, CDU frontman Friedrich Merz, already stated in advance that Germany would support Ukraine even more strongly, which means that armaments companies are likely to be among the long-term profiteers. The price of gold also performed strongly afterwards, heading towards the USD 3,000 per ounce mark. Copper could also continue its turnaround, benefiting undervalued producers and exploration companies.

BYD, Benton Resources, Nordex – Copper Boom: The hidden treasure of the greentech industry
In a world balancing between climate targets and geopolitical tensions, three companies are working on the future of the energy and mobility transition and depend on critical raw materials like copper. While the 2025 German federal election is reigniting the debate on renewable energies – with demands for clear framework conditions for wind power and critical voices from the political arena – other players are pushing ahead with disruptive technologies. BYD showcases the future with AI-driven assistance systems. Benton Resources is unlocking key resources for green technologies like copper, nickel, zinc, and gold, and Nordex receives record orders despite uncertain markets. These companies have more in common than their focus on sustainability: they represent a new era of innovation in which strategic decisions made today determine tomorrow's competitiveness.

Defense and critical metals – the pressure is rising! Where are Rheinmetall, Renk, Hensoldt, and XXIX Metal headed?
Since August 2023, the Chinese government has continuously issued export control measures for high-tech metals that are important for the semiconductor industry and green technologies. The sharp rise in energy commodities is hindering electrification projects. Copper is indispensable for these projects and will become one of the key raw materials in the coming years, around which innovations revolve. The red metal is an essential component of a completely new energy infrastructure, and trends such as Web 3.0, high-performance computing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are exacerbating the scarcity situation. The tech giants, worth billions, want to invest because they need the infrastructure for their business. In Europe, the defense industry is on the verge of reaching new all-time highs. A closer look is required.

BYD, Power Nickel, Rheinmetall – Top high flyers with further potential
After the outstanding stock market years of 2023 and 2024, many market participants assumed there would be a sharp correction on the stock markets at the beginning of the year. So far, however, both the DAX and the Dow Jones have proved the pessimists wrong and continued their upward trends despite increasing political and economic uncertainties. Although valuations in general, such as the Shiller P/E ratio, which is at the second-highest level in its history, already appear ambitious, there are still opportunities for disproportionate price increases in some companies.
