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.

Commodity Companies with Golden Numbers: Almonty Industries, K92 Mining and Aya Gold & Silver in Focus
Things are really picking up again in the commodities sector. Many companies are reporting strong quarterly results, even though costs have recently increased due to rising inflation. Nevertheless, the industry is brimming with energy, especially since many companies have cleaned up their balance sheets in recent years and are now debt-free. This aligns with the gold market, where, according to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased more gold in the second quarter than ever before. It appears they took advantage of the price correction. In any case, the outlook for commodities is favourable. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the stocks of Almonty Industries, K92 Mining and Aya Gold & Silver.

Almonty Industries, Freeport McMoRan, and Albemarle: Commodity Fever Rises Due to Structural Shortages
A major storm is brewing in the commodity markets. It is being driven by the transition to climate-neutral energy, extremely high demand for artificial intelligence and the computing power it requires, and global geopolitical conflicts. This wave does not appear to be a temporary flare-up, but rather the beginning of a long-term megatrend, as supply deficits continue to widen. While spikes in demand often provided the boost in previous commodity cycles, this time it is global supply chain risks and decades of underinvestment in the development of new commodity projects. Today, we take a closer look at tungsten producer Almonty Industries, copper producer Freeport McMoRan, and lithium producer Albemarle.

Concrete Gold, Tank Transmissions and Critical Raw Materials: How Bold Investors Could Benefit from Vonovia, Renk and Strategic Resources
They say the stock market—or rather, money—never sleeps. The phrase was made famous thanks to the movie "Wall Street". But some turning points in the capital markets also arrive quietly, almost unnoticed. Today, we take a look at three stocks and three very different stories. First, there is Germany's largest residential landlord, which is currently dealing with rising interest rates, political disputes and some still-skeptical analysts. Things look somewhat different for an Augsburg-based drivetrain specialist, which is riding a wave of record orders from the defence sector. And then there is a commodities stock that remains largely under the radar. The chart of this "golden gem" could soon send signals that attract investors' attention. Three very different worlds. And yet all three stocks are currently at a critical juncture. Those who look closely now may find almost everything: defensive substance, genuine growth and a potential breakout opportunity. These three stocks could be well worth keeping an eye on.

New Drones and Space Acrobatics? SpaceX, Power Metallic, Thales and Heidelberger Druck in Flight Mode
The global aerospace and defence industry is currently experiencing an unprecedented technological boom that is completely upending traditional market dynamics. From autonomous systems in the stratosphere to revolutionary launch vehicles in orbit, more and more industries are reaching for the stars. To survive in this fiercely competitive environment, established industry giants and visionary tech pioneers alike must forge new alliances and radically expand their core competencies. A look at current market trends impressively demonstrates that innovation today arises primarily from the synergy between radical high-tech development and high-precision industrial scaling. While NASDAQ newcomer SpaceX is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space with spectacular feats, specialized players like the European Thales Group are driving the modernization of defence systems with advanced sensor and drone technologies. Heidelberger Druck is also showing surprisingly strong momentum as it successfully adapts its time-honoured precision engineering for the future drone production market. And then there are the indispensable critical metals: Power Metallic aims to join the North American supply chain soon. Exciting!

Almonty Industries, Energy Fuels and Antofagasta: China Still Dominates, but These Stocks Are on the Rise
The battle for critical raw materials is becoming a geopolitical power struggle. Defense, AI, power grids, and high-tech industries require enormous quantities of strategic metals, while China controls key parts of the supply chains. The US is now responding with billions in investment and aims to drastically reduce its dependence. This benefits producers who are establishing new Western supply chains for rare earths, tungsten, or copper. Three stocks are particularly in the spotlight.

Combat Drones and Tungsten: Rheinmetall, Hensoldt and Almonty Industries at the Heart of the Defense Boom
Global defense budgets continue to rise. With the wars in Ukraine and Iran continuing, ammunition stocks and destroyed military equipment must inevitably be replenished. This is benefiting defense companies such as Rheinmetall, as well as sensor specialists like Hensoldt. The trend is reflected in record order books and rising analyst price targets. But without a secure supply of raw materials, absolutely nothing works in the modern defense industry. This is where Almonty Industries enters the picture. The Canadian-American tungsten producer is helping secure Western supply chains. The company has recently delivered another series of positive updates, and while some of the major defense stocks have already reached demanding valuations, an intriguing technical setup is taking shape at Almonty that could pave the way for further gains. We take a closer look at the latest developments at these three companies. Find out why a strategic metal like tungsten could make all the difference—and why those who own or mine it are likely to be among the winners.
