The critical resource: How Antimony Resources protects Rheinmetall and BASF from shortages and why it has upside potential
Without antimony, there would be no flame retardants, modern electronics, or precision ammunition. However, the global availability of this critical metal is increasingly under threat. This is yet another sign of the comprehensive raw materials crisis that is forcing entire industries to radically reorganize their supply chains. It is precisely here, where a triad with enormous potential is emerging: Antimony Resources' access to the source positions itself as a potential supplier to Rheinmetall and BASF, who depend on this indispensable material. We take a closer look at the three companies.

Milestone for Almonty Industries! Full order books at RENK and TKMS! Here is what analysts say
A milestone for Almonty Industries: the tungsten mine in South Korea goes into operation. This positions the raw material gem for strong revenue and earnings growth in the coming years. Analyst estimates are based on significantly lower prices and could therefore be too conservative. The stock is rebounding. Defense stocks are currently being weighed down by the possibility of peace in Ukraine, but order books remain well filled. Shortly before Christmas, RENK is celebrating a million-euro order from the German Armed Forces for various tanks. TKMS has no worries about revenue for the coming years, with an order backlog of EUR 18.5 billion, nearly nine times its annual sales. Analysts recommend buying.

Silver boom and critical metals on the rise! Keep a close eye on Rheinmetall, Infineon, Hensoldt, and Antimony Resources
International conflicts and competition for physical silver are leading to increasing uncertainty surrounding critical metals. Since the defense industry and the high-tech sector are particularly dependent on intact supply chains, increased volatility is also measurable in these sectors. For risk-conscious investors, the time has come to scan their portfolios for potential risks and, after one of the best upward cycles of the last 20 years, to close one or two doors. We can help with the analysis.

Drone defense and nearly 10% fixed interest! DroneShield, Hensoldt, Bitcoin Group, Nakiki
Is Germany now getting serious about drone defense? A new drone defense center was opened in Berlin yesterday, aiming to provide a nationwide overview of the situation and a coordinated response to drone incidents. DroneShield and Hensoldt are among the beneficiaries on the stock market when it comes to drones and their defense. Will the shares now receive new momentum? Bitcoin is not currently experiencing any momentum. However, this is actually a desirable scenario for Nakiki SE. The Company plans to buy Bitcoin in the coming months and become Germany's first pure play Bitcoin Treasury company. To this end, Nakiki is currently issuing a corporate bond. Investors can secure a fixed interest rate of almost 10% p.a. and diversify their portfolio. The CEO explains why the Bitcoin bond is interesting. In contrast, Bitcoin Group has missed the boat, and now short sellers are also getting involved.

Year-end rally ahead! Selected positioning for 2026 in Almonty, DroneShield, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
Incredible volatility at year-end. No surprise - the past stock market year will go down in history as one of the best for the DAX and NASDAQ. And this despite shrinking economic growth and rising inflation. But seasoned investors already know that inflation boosts stock prices, and what drives them even more is defense spending. War is terrible, but it fills the coffers of financiers - led, as always, by the US. Donald Trump likes to sell himself as a peacemaker to the outside world, yet the US remains the world's largest producer of offensive and defensive technology. Business is booming, NATO is among the biggest customers, and demand runs into the trillions. Whether 2026 will continue in the same vein is doubtful, but conflicts at least continue to enable hyperinflationary money printing. As a result, the gigantic debt flywheel spins ever faster – this is how FIAT money systems have functioned for millennia! Where do opportunities lie for risk-aware investors?

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Theon – Peace talks open up opportunities
Hopes for a ceasefire in Ukraine are currently influencing not only politics but also the stock markets. While a possible peace plan is being negotiated at the highest level in Berlin, defense stocks are coming under short-term pressure. Investors are pricing in a scenario in which the military escalation subsides. However, looking beyond the daily headlines reveals a different picture. Regardless of the outcome of the Ukraine summit, Europe is facing a long-term security policy realignment, with permanently higher defense spending. For the defense industry, this means short-term volatility, but attractive prospects for investors in the medium to long term.

Great potential in the defense sector! RENK, Hensoldt, NEO Battery Materials
Milestone at NEO Battery Materials! With the lease of its new operational battery facility, NEO Battery is now ready to start commercializing its high-performance battery technology for defense, automotive and energy sectors. The new factory eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly construction. Orders and partnerships are also already in place. It is likely only a matter of time before batteries are also used in tanks. In Germany, RENK, for example, is developing drives for vehicles weighing up to 70 tons. Analysts consider the recent sell-off in defense stocks to be exaggerated. Their current favorite is Hensoldt. However, the sensor specialist is not recommended as a buy by all experts.

The Wall Street leverage: What Bank of America's entry really means for Almonty - the MP Materials blueprint
Capital on the stock market is not all the same. There is "dumb" money that chases short-term trends, and there is "smart" money that actually shapes markets. The alliance between Almonty Industries and Bank of America is therefore far more than a simple financing round. It is an institutional seal of approval that, via access to the wealth management arm Merrill, opens the door to US private capital and enables a re-rating. Analysts such as D.A. Davidson had already confirmed this potential before the most recent capital increase with the high-profile lead bookrunner, issuing concrete price targets of USD 12 and pointing to massive revenue growth through 2028.

Silver soon at USD 100 – has the defense rally now stalled? Silver North, Rheinmetall, and DroneShield in focus
Unbelievable – who would have thought it? Last week, silver reached the USD 64 per ounce level for the first time, reflecting a pronounced imbalance between supply and demand. In contrast to the bubble surrounding the Hunt brothers, who effectively bought up the silver market to nearly USD 50, today's rally is based on a global structural deficit driven not only by industrial demand but also by geopolitical tensions, rising government debt, and a weak US dollar. Physical silver availability is declining worldwide due to low production levels. At the London Metals Exchange (LME) in particular, inventories have fallen by roughly one third since 2021, while ETFs have reduced the freely available supply by more than 75%. The situation is coming to a head! Where should investors start paying closer attention?

Peace shock or lasting boom? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and thyssenkrupp under review
A new diplomatic dynamic is raising hopes for a possible end to the Ukraine conflict and presenting investors with a complex question. While any news of peace puts pressure on defense stock prices in the short term, structurally increased defense budgets and an ongoing modernization cycle are driving the industry forward in the long run. The real opportunity lies in the shift from an acute crisis to a predictable, steadily growing security industry. We analyze the starting positions of Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and thyssenkrupp.
