Ticking Time Bomb in the Skies: Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield Stand to Benefit from Rising Security Threats
The incident at Leipzig Airport in early August, where fortunately a drone carrying Semtex explosives could not be detonated, demonstrates just how vulnerable the security infrastructure is—not only in Germany. Although intruders can often be detected, active intervention is sometimes difficult. This emerging threat is driving the multi-billion-dollar market for drone defence technologies. However, operators are facing regulatory grey areas, even as demand soars. So today we are taking a closer look at defence giant Rheinmetall, drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, and counter-drone specialist DroneShield.

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.

TKMS Keeps Soaring! When Will DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace Take Off Again?
Nearly 50% gains in just a few weeks. TKMS is currently riding a wave of success, and analysts believe the stock has further upside potential. The company is a prime example of the comeback staged by traditional defence stocks in recent weeks. By contrast, many drone stocks continue to struggle. It seems like a strange disconnect, since few would dispute that drones and counter-drone systems are playing an increasingly important role, not only in current conflict zones. Accordingly, the investment needs of armed forces and security agencies are likely to remain substantial in the coming years. So when will companies such as Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield take off again?

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.

Renk with AI Potential? D-Wave Shares Rebound! Is Zefiro Methane Seriously Undervalued?
Could Renk become an AI beneficiary? Its collaboration with Siemens Energy certainly appears to be gaining momentum. In 2026, the business is expected to account for around one-third of the order intake of Renk's Industrial Business Unit. At another company, analysts expect massive growth over the coming years, with earnings potentially multiplying. A recent report highlights the company's potential, while the stock appears far too cheap. And what about D-Wave? The quantum computing hopeful still looks far too expensive, as its latest quarterly figures have shown. Nevertheless, investors have also spotted some positive developments, sending the stock up 25% recently. Was that justified?

Apple, Volatus Aerospace and innoscripta: One Giant and Two Rising Stars with Multiplier Potential
Is a company valued on the stock market for what it produces—or for what investors want to see in it? At Apple, the high-margin services business is fueling heated debates over whether the core of its success story actually lies more in software or hardware. Volatus Aerospace, originally a Canadian drone service provider, is on the verge of exactly this leap: moving away from low-margin flight operations toward a software and AI platform for drone countermeasures and defence technology. And innoscripta demonstrates the growth rates possible in the software industry. A look at three very different companies and the question of where the biggest valuation gap between business model and share price lies.

Drones, Energy Crisis and NASDAQ! DroneShield, HPQ Silicon, Siemens Energy and Nordex in Focus
All quiet on the western front! Whether it is war, bankruptcies, or new tariffs, the party goes on! The drone sector, booming thanks to increased defence spending, stands in stark contrast to the simmering EU energy crisis, which continues to pose major challenges for Brussels. Counter-drone specialist DroneShield is experiencing a massive surge in demand and orders in the field of electronic warfare, yet its share price is falling significantly. Canadian company HPQ Silicon is also benefiting from the West's need to independently establish critical supply chains for high-purity silicon and innovative battery materials. Siemens Energy also sits at the epicentre of the infrastructure transition, with its historically full order books serving as an unshakable engine of growth amid the energy crunch. This sustained rebound is flanked by Hamburg-based wind power pioneer Nordex, which is reporting double-digit margin improvements. This compelling combination of high-tech defence, clean energy generation, and raw material sovereignty is attracting substantial capital directly into investors' coffers. We take a closer look at four future-oriented sector favourites.

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.

Plug Power Shows Light and Shadow! Siemens Energy Back Above EUR 200? Drone Potential at HPQ Silicon!
The US is under increasing pressure when it comes to military drones. China and Iran are ruthlessly exposing the US's need to catch up. Washington is pushing to build its own supply chains. HPQ Silicon could benefit from this. Several potential customers in the drone and defence sectors are already testing the company's advanced battery technology. The stock hasn't yet drawn much attention. Siemens Energy is a long-term performer in the AI boom. The company once again delivered strong results last quarter. Analysts believe the stock could break through the EUR 200 mark. There are also positive signs in Plug Power's quarterly report. But the big question remains: how will liquidity be secured until the company turns a profit?
