Almonty: Analysts Speak Out – Airbus and Sandvik Need to Diversify Their Tungsten Supply
When huge turbines roar on the tarmac and passenger jets weighing several tonnes take off, few people think about how modern aeroplanes are manufactured and what is crucial to the process. Yet one extremely durable metal can determine the pace of modern aviation: tungsten. Without tungsten, the aviation industry's assembly lines could grind to a sudden halt. With a density close to that of gold and the highest melting point of any element, this critical metal can withstand extreme conditions. It is therefore essential not only in aerospace but also in a range of other future technologies, including fusion energy. Yet while the West is developing and building the latest-generation aircraft, China controls more than 80% of global tungsten production. This concentration of supply represents a highly dangerous strategic risk—but there is a solution.

Billions from Washington and Brussels: Almonty Industries, Aurubis and MP Materials Are Benefiting from the Boom
Supply chains and raw materials security are increasingly becoming priorities for Western governments. While Washington is providing billions in funding for domestic mining projects, Brussels has ushered in a regulatory shift with the Critical Raw Materials Act. Government subsidy programs for critical raw materials are putting resource companies firmly in the spotlight. The effort to secure Western supply chains is particularly evident in the case of three companies whose news flow in August 2026 caught investors' attention: Almonty Industries, Aurubis and MP Materials.

Hunger for Critical Metals at SpaceX and Beyond: How Globex Mining Differs from Berkshire Hathaway
Rocket launches are simply fascinating: the brilliant light, tremendous thrust, and nervous anticipation during the countdown captivate us. Yet many future technologies would be unthinkable without raw materials and their smart processing. Tech giants have long been turning their attention to Earth's mineral resources and thinking ahead about supply security. We take a closer look at SpaceX and examine which resource companies are already securing the deposits of tomorrow. Three business models put to the test.

RTX, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall – The Battle for Tungsten Escalates
Tanks, missiles, radar systems, and AI chips require high-performance materials. One of the most strategically important is tungsten. China accounts for more than 80% of global production and has already tightened its export controls. At the same time, Europe and the US are ramping up their defense production. This is driving not only demand but also political pressure to establish independent supply chains. As a result, Western tungsten projects are gaining strategic importance.

Like a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes: Deutsche Telekom, Almonty and Abbott Are Back on Track
For months, Deutsche Telekom, Almonty Industries, and Abbott Laboratories were headed in only one direction: down. Then the quarterly results came in—and with them, a breakthrough. For Deutsche Telekom and Almonty, a combination of growth and share buybacks sparked the initial rally; for Abbott, it was the confirmation that two negative one-time effects were only temporary. A sustained breakout from the downtrend is now a reality for all three stocks. How far is the road back to previous highs, and where do analysts even see potential for new all-time highs?

Steyr Motors After the Sell-Off: Buy the Dip? TKMS Rides the Defense Boom — Strategic Resources Set to Benefit From Soaring Steel Demand
The global defense boom is not just filling the order books of manufacturers of tanks, missiles, and drones. Demand is also growing in the naval sector, and with it the demand for raw materials. TKMS urgently needs high-quality steel for its submarines and frigates and is working to establish resilient supply chains. This is where Strategic Resources comes into play. The raw materials company operates in Canada and Northern Europe—the very regions that are playing a central role in TKMS's latest megaproject. The stock appears undervalued. But is Steyr Motors also a bargain after its recent sell-off? Analysts certainly think so. They recommend buying the stock. The weak first half and lowered guidance should primarily be viewed as the result of defense-related orders being pushed back in timing, rather than a fundamental deterioration in demand.

AI & Defense Boom: Time to Pick the Winners — SpaceX, Rheinmetall, Thales and Globex Mining
Higher, Faster, Further! The hype surrounding artificial intelligence and modern defense technologies shows no signs of abating. As global tensions rise, investors are searching for the most profitable gems in this expanding sector. Yet experts have long been saying "the market has gotten overheated"—but, on the whole, they are usually wrong. That is why a targeted selection of individual stocks is now more important than ever. The trend in global interest rates remains a decisive factor for the coming months. In addition, the high valuations on the Nasdaq are prompting many investors to exercise caution. In this dynamic environment, the private spaceflight company SpaceX offers fascinating growth opportunities, but its valuation seems more appropriate for the year 2035. At the same time, the defense contractors Thales and Rheinmetall are benefiting from massive government contracts and full order books. Investors looking to diversify their portfolios wisely should also consider Globex Mining. After all, critical raw materials are the foundation of any modern high-tech infrastructure. Through a strategic combination of tech, defense, and resources, investors can effectively minimize risks and maximize opportunities. Savvy investors are therefore keeping a close eye on both macroeconomic data and the geopolitical situation — and remain ready to act!

Share Price Surges and Buy Ratings: New Price Target for Almonty as CTS EVENTIM and BioNTech Stage Comebacks
What a comeback! Almonty's share price surged by more than 50% in August! There are good reasons for the rally. Tungsten is in short supply in the West and is urgently needed due to the ramp-up in weapons production in the US. In addition, Almonty has released convincing quarterly results and announced a share buyback program. Analysts have recently nearly doubled their price target. BioNTech's share price jump of over 25% is less attributable to the biotech company itself; the stock has benefited from the breakthrough achieved by rival Moderna. Meanwhile, long-term performer CTS EVENTIM also made a comeback last week. Does this mean the stock is returning to its long-term uptrend? Analysts recommend the share as a "Buy".

Tungsten Shock for Sandvik and Lockheed Martin – Almonty in a Perfect Position
When military equipment or industrial tools reach their performance limits, a highly sought-after heavy metal often comes to the rescue. With a melting point of 3,422 °C, tungsten withstands even extreme heat and has a density nearly identical to that of gold. Yet it is precisely with this key raw material, tungsten, that Western industrialized nations are coming under pressure. Beijing controls over 80% of global production and has significantly tightened export controls in recent years. Since China itself became a net importer in 2025 and the Western defense industry faces strict procurement bans, a race is underway for mining capacity in secure jurisdictions. This is where Almonty Industries comes into play, as it is considered a leading Western tungsten producer. We take a closer look at the market.
