DAX at 30,000—Unrealistic? Keep an Eye on DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Airbus, and Hensoldt
It has been a long time since global equity markets experienced such a powerful and broad-based bull run. Investors have once again been reminded that geopolitical conflicts do not necessarily trigger prolonged market declines. Instead, they often reinforce expectations of higher defence spending, accelerated technological innovation, and additional government investment. At the same time, public debt continues to climb. Rather than being meaningfully reduced, maturing obligations are typically refinanced by issuing new debt. In the view of many market participants, this ongoing expansion of public borrowing continues to provide liquidity support for financial markets. This trend has persisted since the global financial crisis of 2008. Meanwhile, the influence of major technology entrepreneurs and capital allocators on politics and industry has become increasingly apparent. Figures such as Elon Musk play a far greater role in shaping industrial policy and technological development than would have seemed conceivable only a decade ago. Valuation, however, remains a growing concern. The cyclically adjusted Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 has averaged roughly 17.4 over the long term. At around 39.5, it currently stands approximately 127% above that historical average. That places the market among the most richly valued periods in modern history, exceeded only by the peak of the dot-com bubble in 1999. Whether traditional valuation metrics remain fully applicable in today's AI-driven and highly liquid market environment has therefore become an increasingly debated question among investors.

Saab, Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall: Billion-Dollar Defence Orders and Gold Discoveries Drive Share Price Potential
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The world continues to rearm, and at the same time the battle for strategic raw materials is intensifying. As governments raise their defence budgets to record levels, demand is also rising for critical metals indispensable to ammunition, air defence, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and modern energy technologies. At the same time, multi-billion-dollar investments in advanced weapons systems and the development of independent Western supply chains are creating a powerful long-term growth story. Those who invest early in companies from the defence and critical raw materials sectors could benefit from one of the strongest structural trends of the coming years.

Tungsten Emergency: Why Almonty Is Exceptionally Positioned - Sandvik and Lockheed Martin Under Pressure
Beijing's tightened export controls on critical raw materials such as tungsten show how heavily the West depends on established supply chains. China still controls around 80% of global tungsten production. In response to this threat, from January 1, 2027, the US will ban the import of tungsten from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea for military purposes. This regulatory turning point and a surge in demand from the defense sector drove the world market price for ammonium paratungstate (APT) from historic lows in the low triple-digit range per metric tonne unit (MTU = 10 kg) to well over USD 3,000 per MTU. We take a closer look at the market and show how investors can profit from the tungsten emergency.

Forget Short-Term Hysteria—Win Long-Term with Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and RTX
After a breathtaking rally, defense stocks have come under pressure. Hopes for peace, profit-taking and new competitors have driven prices into a recent correction. For short-term-minded investors, this may look threatening, yet the structural drivers – depleted arsenals, aging systems and Europe's push for military sovereignty – remain intact. The current markdowns resemble a technical breather rather than a break in the trend. It is precisely this discrepancy between short-term volatility and long-term necessity that opens an entry window for strategic investors. This is the moment to set your sights on companies with thick order books and systemic relevance. While Rheinmetall benefits from Europe's rearmament, Almonty Industries, as a tungsten supplier, secures critical raw materials for production, and the US group RTX delivers technological superiority in aviation, drones and cyber defense.

TKMS Ahead of Billion-Euro Deal! AI Fantasy at OHB and Schwarz Digits! Buying Opportunity at Drone Specialist Volatus Aerospace!
TKMS is seen as the big winner of Rheinmetall's debacle around the F126 frigate programme. After the German government pulled the plug, the new frigate deal could now move very quickly. According to "hartpunkt.de", the Bundestag is set to decide on the order of four new frigates from TKMS before the summer recess. Like the entire defence sector, drone stocks are not among investors' favourites this year either. But given the future prospects in the military and civilian arenas, it can really only be a matter of time before the rally starts again. A hot buy candidate is Volatus Aerospace. The Canadians are benefiting from NATO contracts, have just opened a new site and have a full pipeline. OHB's shares recently crashed. The German space company had previously benefited from the SpaceX hype. Then a capital increase triggered a sell-off. Can the AI partnership with Schwarz Digits generate fresh price fantasy?

Why the Antimony Bottleneck Threatens Hensoldt and BASF, and How Antimony Resources Benefits
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The world order is different from before 2022. China is tightening the reins on critical metals. The situation with semiconductor and alloy raw materials in particular calls for action. The strategic semimetal antimony is increasingly becoming a critical bottleneck for Western industry. China's export restrictions - the country controls around 36% of global mine production and around 70% of global antimony refining capacity - have triggered deep uncertainty among European groups in the chemical and defence sectors. The solution is new supply chains and mines in secure jurisdictions. We examine the current situation and present a possible beneficiary.

Rebound and Straight Back Up: Rheinmetall, Renk, Antimony Resources, TKMS, and Hensoldt
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock-market carousel keeps turning. While defense stocks were still on the hit list over the past 5 months, an impressive rebound is now underway. Rheinmetall experienced an outright sellout after a large frigate order was awarded to TKMS. Across the sector, the stocks had to absorb discounts of up to 50% after having risen to hype status in the years 2024 to 2025. Another stock caused a stir yesterday: Antimony Resources! After a 90-day consolidation of nearly 70%, new drill results came in. And lo and behold: not only does antimony lie dormant in the ground, but also plenty of gold. Good for anyone who bought in here over the past few weeks. All four stocks on our list still have some catch-up potential in the tank; we analyze why.

Kyiv is under heavy attack. As Ukraine faces one of the most intense waves of Russian strikes since the war began and German policymakers race to push through economic reforms, financial markets remain on edge. Yet investors focusing only on the current "problem children" of the DAX, Deutsche Telekom and BMW, could be overlooking what may prove to be one of the summer's standout opportunities. Almonty Industries is hitting key milestones exactly when the world needs them most. We explain why Almonty's momentum is sending a bullish signal despite the uncertain geopolitical backdrop—and how investors may be able to capitalize on the current market environment.

Volatus Aerospace, Red Cat Holdings, Aevex: Autonomous Systems Are Driving the Next Stock Market Boom
Drones are emerging as the next billion-dollar market. Geopolitical tensions, rising defence spending, and the protection of critical infrastructure are rapidly driving global demand for autonomous systems. At the same time, civilian applications are growing in energy supply, logistics, and disaster response. Companies that intelligently integrate manufacturing, software, and operational services could benefit disproportionately from this supercycle. Several industry players are massively expanding their capacities, showcasing new technologies, and receiving a tailwind from analysts and major government programs.

Russia Has Its Eyes on Poland: Asymmetric Threats Boost Rheinmetall and DroneShield—Is Volatus Aerospace a Hidden Gem?
Is Russia testing NATO? New scenarios even consider the possibility of asymmetric attacks on Poland. This complex situation is forcing nations to rethink their defence strategies and invest accordingly. According to surveys by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, global military spending reached a historic high of USD 2.887 billion in 2025. This trend is driving the unmanned aerial systems and defence technologies sector in particular. While large corporations and specialized technology suppliers are benefiting from this realignment, smaller, more agile market players are coming into focus within the defence industry as strategic suppliers and acquisition targets. We take a closer look and highlight some exciting stocks.
