Apple and Ferrari face their moment of truth – Almonty is already delivering
For two of the world's most valuable brands, the moment of truth comes this week. On Monday evening, Apple will report its results, for the first time under its new CEO John Ternus. Ferrari follows a day later. After the sharp falls in Alphabet and Amazon shares, nervousness on Wall Street is high. P/E ratios above 30 leave no room for disappointment. The situation at Almonty Industries is quite different. The tungsten producer's shares have more than halved since September, even though the news could hardly be better. The first commercial shipment from the Sangdong mine in South Korea has been dispatched, and exports are also underway in Rwanda. With a P/E ratio of 6.5, the shares cost only a fraction of those of Apple and Ferrari.

NSJ Antimony, Rheinmetall, Infineon: Whoever controls the bottlenecks will be among the winners!
Created and published on behalf of NSJ Antimony Corp.
Modern armed forces need ammunition; data centres need a high-performance power supply. Across industries, reliable industrial supply chains are becoming increasingly important. This puts companies that develop critical raw materials or build important production capacity in the spotlight. Equipped with fresh capital, NSJ Antimony is advancing its antimony project in Canada. The critical metal is indispensable for flame retardants, the defence industry, ammunition, electronics and certain energy storage systems, among other things. Defence giant Rheinmetall is due to release important news this month, including quarterly figures and an updated medium-term forecast. The semiconductor manufacturer is investing heavily in capacity to power the AI era. Which share is ahead?

Split in the Tungsten Market: How Almonty, MP Materials and Rheinmetall Are Responding
The tungsten market is currently splitting into two distinct segments. While Chinese ammonium paratungstate (APT) prices are falling significantly, according to the Shanghai Metals Market, Western tungsten prices remain largely stable. Meanwhile, Washington's regulatory procurement requirements are forcing Western industrial companies to realign their supply chains. From 2027, new US legislation will prohibit the Department of Defense from using tungsten sourced from geopolitically sensitive countries such as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. This legislation decouples Western prices from the Asian market and puts secure supply sources in sharper focus.

Share prices are falling, business is growing: What opportunities do Almonty, Rheinmetall and Renk shares offer investors?
The euphoria has apparently faded. Following sharp share price declines, Almonty, Rheinmetall and Renk are increasingly back in focus. With demand trends intact, are these new entry opportunities? After all, without raw materials there is no ammunition; without drive systems there are no mobile armed forces. Almonty has commenced commercial operations at the Sangdong tungsten mine, marking a historic milestone. Rheinmetall and Renk are under scrutiny for how quickly and profitably they can fulfil orders. Wait or buy?

New Orders, a New Shareholder and a New Bid: Fresh Developments at HPQ Silicon, CTS Eventim and Qiagen
Created and published on behalf of HPQ Silicon
Sometimes a single announcement is enough to reshape the story behind a stock. At HPQ Silicon, certified high-performance cells and initial orders could mark the transition from a development project to a commercial supplier. At CTS Eventim, the arrival of an activist investor has sparked fresh interest. At Qiagen, meanwhile, a takeover offer could lead to a bidding war between two financial investors. Three shares, three potential share price drivers – but also three very different risk and reward profiles. We take a closer look at the trio in our stock review.

Markets in Crash Mode! Investors Turn to Cash Machines SpaceX and Almonty, While Steyr and CSG Also Deserve Attention
Times change quickly – especially on the stock market! Forget traditional safe havens such as gold or government bonds when global financial markets falter! Now is the moment for those who can harness and control the foundations of modern geopolitics. When capital flees the stock market, long-term investors look to cash machines whose business models rely on indispensable high-tech infrastructure or the necessities of national survival. At the forefront is SpaceX, which single-handedly dominates military communications in the Western hemisphere with its Starlink network. Back on Earth, Almonty Industries' South Korean Sangdong mine is producing its first tungsten in 33 years, in time for the Pentagon's firm deadline of January 1, 2027. Because the US military will no longer tolerate Chinese tungsten in its missiles and semiconductors from that date, Almonty will become a systemically important gatekeeper for an irreplaceable defence metal overnight. Investors looking to get in on small caps are watching the long-established Austrian company Steyr Motors and the Czech defence holding company CSG. All these stocks deliver tangible value and geopolitical security. For long-term investors, now is the time to buy!

NATO Steps Up - Defence Stocks In Focus: Dassault Aviation, OHB, HPQ Silicon and DroneShield
Created and published on behalf of HPQ Silicon
The foiled drone attack in Leipzig provided an initial wake-up call for Western NATO partners regarding the threat situation in Europe. Alongside intra-European cooperation, closer ties with Canada in the defence and raw materials industries are also coming to the fore. The latest talks point to decisions with strategic, economic and geopolitical implications, setting a pioneering framework for the coming years. Enhanced transatlantic cooperation combines European expertise with Canada's vast wealth of resources to sustainably strengthen joint defence capabilities. By gaining direct access to key deposits, Europe is reducing its risky dependence on raw materials from autocratic states such as China and third countries. Canada has many of the 34 raw materials the EU has classified as critical, including essential lithium, nickel, cobalt and copper. These metals form the indispensable foundation for modern military technologies such as electronic components, engines and highly sensitive communication systems. To underpin this bilateral bridge, the governments and institutions involved have approved enormous budgets and framework agreements for the coming years. The European SAFE programme for rearmament and defence procurement therefore has an initial volume of EUR 150 billion, with subsequent expansions subject to further decisions. For investors, this set-up provides a good basis for portfolio gains. We delve a little deeper.

Analysts Raise Estimates for Nordex, Renk Shares Climb, and NSJ Antimony Enters the Antimony Market
Created and Published on Behalf of NSJ Antimony Corp.
The antimony market is gaining momentum again. Reuters reported that the EU is seeking closer cooperation with Vietnam to secure its supply of critical raw materials such as antimony. In Canada, Agnico Eagle is seeking to secure exclusive exploration rights at the historic Lake George mine. NSJ Antimony is also active in the region. The explorer has launched a drilling programme and is valued at less than CAD 20 million. Nordex currently has a market capitalisation of EUR 9.15 billion. Following the convincing preliminary figures, analysts have raised their short- and medium-term estimates. However, they are also issuing warnings. For defence companies such as Renk, warnings have recently grown that the defence boom will not last long enough to justify valuations. Renk counters with an order.

The Chancellor sees the Russian threat! Rearming with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, Strategic Resources and TKMS
Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz sees measures against the Russian threat as his top priority. Despite widespread concern, many German citizens would have preferred a more economically minded, progressive stance from the CDU. Yet the international defence industry can already celebrate the next upward wave, as the overall situation continues to guarantee robust growth. Finally, a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, as the spark had not really spread to the armaments sector since autumn 2025. But can the charts still be salvaged? Sector leader Rheinmetall has corrected more than 50% from its peak and has already had to backtrack operationally. Nevertheless, CEO Papperger repeatedly steps in as a share buyer, most recently at the end of September near the year's lows. Is this already the turning point? Time for an update on a closely watched sector.

Your Formula for Profits: What Are Bargains PayPal, Citigroup and Almonty Really Worth?
The US stock market is widely considered expensive, and bargains have become increasingly rare. Yet based on 2027 earnings estimates, some stocks still trade at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 10 or lower. Whether this alone constitutes a buy signal can be assessed using a formula developed by investing legend Benjamin Graham. It requires just a few inputs and accounts for what the P/E ratio alone overlooks: growth. Applied to companies such as PayPal, Citigroup and Almonty Industries, it produces some striking results — including the potential for substantial gains.
