Almonty: Analysts Speak Out – Airbus and Sandvik Need to Diversify Their Tungsten Supply

When huge turbines roar on the tarmac and passenger jets weighing several tonnes take off, few people think about how modern aeroplanes are manufactured and what is crucial to the process. Yet one extremely durable metal can determine the pace of modern aviation: tungsten. Without tungsten, the aviation industry's assembly lines could grind to a sudden halt. With a density close to that of gold and the highest melting point of any element, this critical metal can withstand extreme conditions. It is therefore essential not only in aerospace but also in a range of other future technologies, including fusion energy. Yet while the West is developing and building the latest-generation aircraft, China controls more than 80% of global tungsten production. This concentration of supply represents a highly dangerous strategic risk—but there is a solution.

Buy Drone Stocks Now? Rheinmetall, Steyr Motors and Volatus Aerospace Target a Billion-Dollar Market

According to MarketsandMarkets, the global market for drones and counter-drone systems is expected to grow from USD 60.48 billion in 2025 to USD 155.13 billion by 2030. Despite the projected increase of around 156%, drone stocks are currently struggling on the stock market. This could create an exciting counter-cyclical buying opportunity. Volatus Aerospace has recently opened the door to the domestic market in Canada. As much as CAD 6.6 billion is expected to be channelled into strengthening the Canadian defence industry over the next five years. In addition, the drone specialist has announced potential NATO contracts. Rheinmetall is also making its mark in the drone market. The company recently highlighted its capabilities in hybrid drone defence. In addition, a surveillance drone developed by the Düsseldorf-based group is being tested by the German Armed Forces. Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) could provide fresh momentum for Steyr Motors' stock. After all, framework agreements are already in place.

The defence sector has experienced an unprecedented rally in recent years, but a harsher wind is suddenly blowing on the trading floor. While major players such as Rheinmetall and the aerospace specialist OHB are suffering from profit-taking and rising oil prices despite their exceptionally strong order books, a potentially entirely new opportunity is emerging away from the headlines. Canadian technology company HPQ Silicon is developing market-changing innovations in battery and hydrogen technologies that are approaching commercial breakthrough. Bold investors who think innovatively may recognize that opportunities on the stock market could be emerging right now.

DroneShield on Alert! Delivery Hero Held Back! Gold Rally Cancelled? Desert Gold Ready for a Breakout?

Alarm bells ringing at DroneShield! While drones and drone defence dominate the headlines, the share is one of the disappointments of 2026. So far this year, the share has lost nearly 50% of its value, and the downward trend shows no sign of ending. The company recently released its half-year results. Unfortunately, not only is revenue rising, but so are losses. Buy anyway? Experts are advising investors to get in on gold and gold mining shares. They say the rally is not over, but is simply taking a healthy breather. Desert Gold's share price has been trading sideways for some time now. But this should soon be over. Investors are waiting for the delivery of the gravity separation plant so that gold production can begin. Analysts expect the stock to multiply in value. Delivery Hero's share price has recently more than doubled. This was due less to strong operational performance than to the takeover bid from Uber. Could the purchase price now have to be increased following the company's strong results?

BYD is shaking up the international automotive market with a massive wave of exports, turning up the heat on rival automakers and nearly the entire Western competition. Thanks to the football World Cup, Adidas enjoyed a breathtaking surge in sales, leaving its competitors far behind. But now the World Cup party appears to be over—the stock catalyst has vanished, replaced instead by market frustration. Elsewhere, however, a rare raw material, without which modern defence and technology simply cannot function, is triggering a profound geopolitical upheaval. Almonty Industries is positioning itself perfectly to capitalize on this exact scenario. Find out in this report why the second quarter was so critical for all three stocks, and where the biggest opportunities are lurking right now. Keep reading, as the figures and news tell a powerful and, in some cases, highly surprising story.

40% Gains Still Not Enough? Almonty Industries, RENK and Verbio

  • Tungsten
  • Defense
  • hightech
  • geopolitics

Following a rally of more than 40% in a single month, Almonty Industries' share price is currently taking a brief breather. This pause is unlikely to last long. Analysts see significant upside potential for the leading Western tungsten producer. Furthermore, an export ban on tungsten scrap has recently come into force in the US. The country has no producing tungsten mine of its own—but Almonty intends to change that soon—and the critical raw material is needed for applications including ammunition, missiles, and semiconductors. Verbio shares have also been in demand in recent weeks. Analysts believe the 33% rise in the share price so far this year is not yet sufficient, with further upside potential expected. Among other things, the company's expansion into the US is driving the share price. And what about Renk? Analysts are recommending a "Buy", while production is being significantly expanded. Yet the share price has so far failed to benefit from these developments.

Drone Attack in Germany: Pressure on NATO Mounts! Rheinmetall, Volatus, Hensoldt and DroneShield in the Spotlight

  • geopolitics

The attempted attack using an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig Airport marks a new level of escalation in hybrid warfare in Europe. Following weeks of intensive investigations by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, the German government has now officially identified the Russian intelligence service as the mastermind behind the sabotage operation. This targeted attack on critical infrastructure serves as a massive international wake-up call to NATO partners. In Brussels, the Alliance is calling for a significant strengthening of collective deterrence and defence capabilities against such covert operations. From an investor's perspective, such incidents create a new selling point for the defence industry and specialist defence companies. Hensoldt, a specialist in sensor technology and airspace surveillance, is facing rapidly rising demand for seamless detection systems. At the same time, defence giant Rheinmetall is coming into focus for its role in establishing far-reaching, active defence architectures at airports and military bases. When it comes to high-tech equipment for drone defence and surveillance flights, the specialists DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace are once again in the spotlight. The political pressure to close these serious security gaps in airspace as quickly as possible is likely to provide the companies involved with a massive long-term boost. Investors should therefore keep a very close eye on the geopolitical boom in this highly specialized defence segment.

When a vehicle manufacturer becomes a defence contractor, a raw materials developer provides the key to green steel production, and a naval group reports record orders, a realignment of German industry is taking shape. Volkswagen is on the brink of its most profound transformation and is turning to the defence sector as a lifeline. At the same time, the race for strategic resources is intensifying. Without decarbonized steel, there can be no modern defence, and this steel requires specific grades of iron ore. This is precisely where Strategic Resources comes in. While thyssenkrupp Marine Systems is benefiting from full order books, a new value chain is emerging. Today, we take a closer look at the shares of Volkswagen, Strategic Resources and TKMS.
