Out of RENK and Co. and into Almonty shares? China's sharpest sword! Another 100% price gain with the tungsten high-flyer?
"Restrictions on the export of rare earths are the sharpest sword China can wield," Harald Elsner of the German Raw Materials Agency told FAZ. Reserves are likely to last only a few weeks for German industry. While RENK, KNDS, and Co. are trembling in the face of export restrictions, Almonty's strategic importance for the Western defense industry and beyond is becoming increasingly clear. Like defense stocks, the tungsten producer's share price has more than doubled in the current year. However, the valuation remains low, and analysts see more than 100% upside potential. There are good reasons why the tungsten stock rocket could ignite the next stage as early as tomorrow.

RENK BEFORE TAKEOVER? Will Evotec and AI gem NetraMark be swallowed up?
Is RENK on the verge of a takeover? In any case, the antitrust authorities have approved the entry of a new major shareholder. Could the takeover of the gearbox manufacturer herald a consolidation in the European defense industry, as announced by the head of Hensoldt? So far, there have only been small acquisitions, such as those of Rheinmetall. There is also movement in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. The Trump tariffs are shaking up the industry. NetraMark's AI software helps reduce costs and save time in drug research. The AI insider tip's stock still appears cheap and could skyrocket amid takeover speculation. Evotec has also been repeatedly mentioned as a takeover candidate. Yesterday, a large milestone payment was reported. How are the shares performing?

40% SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION! Commodity war drives Standard Lithium and BMW partner European Lithium! News from Evotec!
Price explosion at Standard Lithium! The share price rose by more than 40% yesterday. The joint venture with Norwegian energy company Equinor has been classified as a "critical mineral project" by the US government. This indicates that the raw materials war with China goes far beyond rare earths. European Lithium has lithium and rare earths to offer. The stock is a real bargain, as illustrated by the new details on the rare earth project in Greenland. Talks are already underway with defense companies from the US and Europe, and analysts see multiplication potential. Evotec shareholders had likely hoped for a somewhat bigger price explosion following the presentation of the new corporate strategy. However, the biotech company is bidding farewell to its strong growth trajectory.

No Trump frustration with 123fahrschule and Mutares, but caution is advised with defense stocks such as RENK, Hensoldt, and Steyr!
The daily news is driving stock market activity. After a rollercoaster ride caused by Trump, popular tech stocks such as the Magnificent 7 are now down a good 20%. In the case of Nvidia, the stock is now USD 50 below its peak. For many, this is an opportunity to finally take a breather and think about the rest of the stock market year. Small caps such as the successful 123fahrschule continue to work on their growth programs, and Mutares is making good progress with its investments. The hot defense stocks RENK and Hensoldt appear somewhat overpriced. Those who want to generate returns now must be very selective and invest in specialties. After gains of just under 10% per annum, global ETF savers will likely take a break from returns in 2025. In the meantime, flexible investors will come out on top. Here are a few ideas.

Billions for defense and hydrogen: RENK, Nel ASA, and dynaCERT – Profiteer or "dead cat"?
In the coming years, billions will be invested in defense, hydrogen, and energy efficiency in Germany alone. The grand coalition has committed itself to this in the coalition agreement. The CO2 price is set to play a central role in climate protection. dynaCERT is expected to benefit from this, as the cleantech company's retrofit kits for diesel engines reduce CO₂ emissions. Analysts see multiple potential for the share. How quickly such a multiplication can happen has been recently demonstrated by RENK's share price. Despite hitting record highs, analysts recommend buying. And what is behind the price jump at Nel ASA? New hope, or are the Norwegians just a "dead cat bounce"?

Gold in focus, Defense accelerates again – Agnico Eagle, Golden Cariboo, Hensoldt, and RENK in focus
The daily theatrics are hard to beat. US President Donald Trump is engaging in slapstick and snubbing long-standing trading partners. In his own country, he leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to counterbalance the nearly USD 36 trillion national debt through savings and additional revenues. This creates great uncertainty in the stock markets and causes economic institutes to calculate more precisely whether, instead of growth, a recession may be looming. But perhaps it is all just a test to force political partners to the table. However, the threat of inflation means that precious metals remain in focus. Unresolved geopolitical conflicts also continue to drive defense machinery forward. Here, a volume in the triple-digit billion range is expected, which will result in revenue in the coming years. The train is running at full steam!

Tariff madness drives gold! Caution advised with Barrick, Globex Mining, Mutares, and Steyr
Every day brings a new spectacle from the White House. What resembles a farce is, unfortunately, a harsh reality. The new president, Donald Trump, leaves no doubt about who dictates the conditions in global trade. But even Mr. Universe has to row back now and then because experts have a clever piece of advice or two on how to avoid completely running the US into the ground. After all, the proclaimed tariffs threaten a severe cooling of the global economy and a surge in inflation - a perfect opportunity for precious metal investments. Due to the general uncertainty, defense stocks also remain in focus. We do the math.

Gold and defense at RECORD LEVELS: Deutz, Barrick Gold, and Desert Gold – Who will multiply?
Gold is breaking record after record. Goldman Sachs has now raised its forecast for the price per troy ounce. Barrick and Newmont woke up last week and showed that large investors are also investing in gold mining stocks again. The takeover candidate Desert Gold offers an opportunity for multiplication. The rally has largely passed the stock by, which has been in a sideways trend for over a year. Analysts see an attractive risk-reward ratio and recommend buying the stock. Deutz is also receiving buy recommendations. Analysts view the announced acquisition as a strategic move with the potential for electrifying military vehicles in the future. And what is the gold heavyweight Barrick doing?

BYD, dynaCERT, thyssenkrupp - Trump rollercoaster creates opportunities
The stock market currently resembles a rollercoaster, driven by US President Trump's daily shifts in strategy regarding punitive tariffs. After suffering significant losses due to a historic crash earlier in the week, the losses turned into substantial gains within minutes on Wednesday evening. Much of what is happening now is the result of panic and chance, creating attractive entry opportunities in certain companies.

USE BUY-LEVEL PRICES! Deutz, Infineon, and Walmart partner, MiMedia: Analyst favorite, AI hidden gem, and profiteer!
MiMedia is likely to face a revaluation. The AI cloud player has held up surprisingly well during the recent sell-off, even completing a capital increase beforehand, and is now starting operations with the giant Walmart in Latin America. Revenues are expected to increase massively this year – will the stock follow suit? Deutz has also held up well in these turbulent times. Following the takeover in the electric sector, the Company confidently announced price increases despite the tariff chaos. In Germany, the engine manufacturer could benefit from the new federal government's plans. Infineon's stock has taken a beating. Will a takeover in the US turn things around? Analysts believe that the semiconductor group is one of the structural winners in Europe. Should you buy the stock?
