Tungsten: The Showstopper in Fragile Supply Chains? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries and Airbus in Focus
The Middle East conflict is entering a new phase. Meanwhile, surging oil prices are putting the global economy under significant pressure and bringing strategic industries such as defense and aerospace into the spotlight. Rheinmetall and Airbus are not only grappling with geopolitical risks but also striving to maintain stable supply chains for urgently needed critical metals. In addition to copper, tungsten is gaining particular importance. This extremely hard, heat-resistant metal is indispensable for wear-resistant tools, special alloys, and numerous applications in the defence and aerospace industries. While ongoing tensions continue to drive up commodity prices, investors should look beyond the oil market to the key metals that will secure Europe's industrial future. Our focus is therefore on tungsten supplier Almonty, which is stepping up its game with new sourcing routes in Africa. A clear list of priorities makes sense!

Empty Ammunition Stockpiles, Tight Tungsten Supply: Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin Set to Benefit
As geopolitical conflicts intensify once again and NATO countries ramp up defence spending, ammunition supplies are increasingly running low. This is making tungsten ever more important. Without this critical raw material, armour-piercing ammunition, precision missiles and high-performance tools cannot be produced. Starting in 2027, US procurement rules will also require supply chains independent of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This is redirecting billions of dollars and intensifying the race for secure sources. Against this backdrop, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Lockheed Martin are moving into focus. All three companies stand to benefit from the realignment of the Western defence industry.

Korea, Supply Chains and Naval Power: How Almonty Industries Is Laying the Foundation for Defence Champions Renk and TKMS
Global value chains are being realigned. Fueled by ongoing geopolitical tensions, global supply chain restructuring and historic rearmament programs, the spotlight is shifting to companies that form the physical backbone of Western industry and defence. Investors looking to capitalize on tomorrow's trends can no longer ignore critical metals like tungsten and specialized defence companies. Almonty is positioning itself as a strategic tungsten supplier for Western industry and is helping to reduce dependence on China's dominant market position for this key metal. Analysts are bullish. Renk supplies indispensable key components for military vehicles through its specialized propulsion systems, while TKMS, with its submarines and naval vessels, stands for the security of sea lanes and maritime deterrence. Critical raw materials, military mobility, and modern fleets—where are the most attractive stock market opportunities?

Comeback, Orders, Monopolies: Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries and Micron Technology in Focus
The summer was highly volatile and eventful for the stock markets. War, oil prices, the dollar, interest rates, and extreme moves in chip stocks drove share prices and generated plenty of headlines despite the summer lull. The fact is, however, that the real trading season is only getting underway now. With Labor Day on Monday in North America, the unofficial summer break is effectively over. Many investors have returned to their screens and are likely looking for attractive stocks. Trading volumes should therefore pick up significantly across the markets. The extreme price swings have created opportunities. Some of the most promising opportunities are likely to be found primarily in AI, defence, and commodities. That is why today we are taking a look at the stocks of Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Micron Technology.

Between the Commodity Rally and Brand Crisis: Almonty, Broadcom and Lululemon in Focus
At first glance, tungsten, AI chips and yoga pants have little in common. On the stock market, however, Almonty Industries, Broadcom and Lululemon are currently facing the same question: can these companies live up to the high expectations – or is too much future growth already priced into their shares? While Almonty needs to make the leap from mine developer to major producer, Broadcom continues to deliver record numbers. Lululemon, meanwhile, is struggling to restore the brand appeal it has lost. Three shares, three completely different starting points. We take a closer look at all three stocks in our share review.

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.
