Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, Novo Nordisk – Something is in the air!
Sufficient access to raw materials is crucial for any economy. The EU has compiled a list of 34 critical raw materials. How critical a raw material is classified depends on two parameters: "economic importance" and "supply risk." This list also includes a little-known but very important metalloid – antimony. The price of antimony skyrocketed at the end of 2024 in the wake of China's export ban. There are still exciting investment opportunities in this area.

Gold boom boosts critical metals! Another 100% with Power Metallic, BYD, Hensoldt and RENK
The geopolitical situation continues to escalate, but the stock markets continue to boom! Trade conflicts, sanctions, and military tensions dominate the headlines, but behind the front lines of a new Cold War, another competition has long been raging: the battle for access to critical metals. Without copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, or rare earths, not only would the e-mobility revolution come to a standstill, but defense technologies, digitalization, and the energy transition would also grind to a halt. Supply chains are coming under increasing pressure from geopolitical power games, and the battle for resources is becoming a key strategic factor in a multipolar world order. For Western industrialized nations, security of supply is becoming a matter of survival, and for investors, this is creating new opportunities. Anyone looking for tomorrow's winners today should keep a close eye on the global raw materials poker game.

What is happening at Gerresheimer? Almonty Industries and Rheinmetall are booming again!
In uncertain times, the focus shifts to companies that form the backbone of our critical infrastructure. Their ability to build resilient and transparent supply chains for essential goods determines our collective resilience to geopolitical and economic upheavals. Where the highest quality and safety standards prevail in areas such as pharmaceuticals, high tech, and defense, sustainable and ethical conduct becomes a decisive competitive advantage, while strict traceability along the value chain becomes the new benchmark. This development makes values such as those of Gerresheimer, Almonty Industries, and Rheinmetall particularly interesting.

More than defense - How Almonty's tungsten makes AI chips from Intel and Micron possible
Tungsten is considered a critical metal worldwide—the defense industry in particular cannot do without it. But tungsten is also a high-tech metal. Without this element, which only melts at 3,400 degrees Celsius, has low resistance, and offers extremely high electrical conductivity, computer chips would not exist. The AI boom would be unthinkable without tungsten – the many data centers currently springing up around the world could not be built. We show how companies from the chip industry, such as Intel and Micron, are securing their supply and explain why Almonty is a blessing for the chip industry.

Shooting down Russian drones and fighter jets? NATO keeps its focus on Rheinmetall, Almonty and Hensoldt!
On the financial markets, Russian provocations involving jet and drone overflights are primarily perceived as a security risk. Such actions increase political instability and often trigger a flight to safe havens such as gold, government bonds, or the US dollar. At the same time, defense stocks and companies in the security sector tend to benefit, as investors anticipate rising defense spending in Europe and within NATO. For the broader equity market, the increased risk often translates into higher volatility and temporary price setbacks. In the long term, such threat scenarios are factored into risk premiums and valuation models, leading to more selective capital allocation in security-related sectors. Here are a few ideas.

NATO under pressure! Almonty target price rises! RENK not a favorite at Goldman Sachs! DroneShield hits milestone!
Russia is testing NATO! Drones and fighter jets are repeatedly being spotted in European airspace, showing that de-escalation is not happening. NATO must continue to strengthen its defenses. This offers opportunities for investors across the entire value chain of the defense industry. In the raw materials sector, Almonty shares are a top pick. Analysts expect the tungsten producer to see an explosion in profits in the coming years and are raising their price target. Could the US government even step in? DroneShield has reached a milestone thanks to follow-up orders from the US Department of Defense. The drone defense specialist sees itself well-positioned for the future. Goldman Sachs has commented on RENK for the first time, but the analysts have other favorites.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, D-Wave Quantum – Alarm bells are ringing
Tungsten is one of the most strategically critical raw materials in the global economy. With its extremely high melting point, exceptional density, and hardness, the metal is indispensable, especially in the defense industry and semiconductor technology. Tungsten is also essential in toolmaking, aviation, and medical technology. The problem: over 80% of global production comes from China, a massive dependency that is increasingly viewed critically in times of geopolitical uncertainty. With the global expansion of defense and high-tech, demand is rising rapidly, but secure Western supply chains are virtually non-existent.

Defense fantasy and takeover buzz! Daimler Truck, thyssenkrupp, Pasinex Resources!
Defense, takeovers, and raw materials moved the stock market last week. After a period of weakness until April, the price of zinc has risen significantly again, benefiting Pasinex Resources. The Company focuses on high-grade zinc deposits in Turkey and the US, and it has now acquired 100% of a key project. Revenue and earnings are set to increase from 2026 onwards, with net margins of up to 50% on the horizon. This makes the stock appear undervalued. Will defense fantasies boost Daimler Truck's stock? The stock has been one of the underperformers in the DAX so far. In the future, the Company plans to collaborate more closely with a US defense contractor. Meanwhile, thyssenkrupp's stock is at a multi-year high. But is the Company effectively winding itself down? The latest takeover bid points in that direction.

Buy Nordex shares? RENK is betting on vehicle manufacturing! Is Graphano Energy too cheap?
No battery works without graphite. At the same time, the raw material is scarce and geopolitically sensitive. This benefits Graphano Energy. Is the stock undervalued? The Company is facing important months ahead. RENK shares are not cheap. But the supercycle in the defense industry is expected to generate strong profits over the coming decade. To handle the anticipated flood of orders, RENK is relying on production standards from the automotive industry. And what about Nordex? Investors are concerned about political headwinds. But analysts are offering reassurance and recommend buying the stock.
