New to the Index, Then Hit Hard: Hochtief, Almonty Industries, AT&S, and Marvell Technology Put to the Test

  • Tungsten

  • AI
  • hightech
  • Technology

Inclusion in a major stock index is often considered a mark of distinction. But at the end of June, it turned into a trap for four stock market stars. Anyone who bet on DAX newcomer Hochtief, the promising tungsten stock Almonty Industries, or the AI-linked high-flyers AT&S and Marvell Technology suffered double-digit share price losses within just a few weeks. This is no coincidence, but rather the result of a market mechanism that investors should be aware of—and one that may now be creating attractive buying opportunities. We take a closer look at all four stocks and compare their current share prices with analysts' price targets.

Analysts Sound the Alarm: Desert Gold and Steyr Offer Significant Upside Potential—Is Stabilus Poised for a Robotics-Driven Turnaround?

  • Mining

  • Africa
  • Automotive
  • Defense

Selected small caps can offer compelling opportunities beyond the market's biggest names. Analysts see significant upside potential in several companies, citing attractive catalysts and long-term growth prospects. Desert Gold is approaching the start of gold production, a milestone that GBC analysts believe could drive a substantial re-rating of the stock. At Steyr, the first potential acquirer has emerged. Although the talks were not successful, this is nonetheless an encouraging strategic signal. Here, too, analysts recommend buying. Meanwhile, could Stabilus' latest strategic robotics partnership mark the beginning of a turnaround? Which of these stocks could be the next to break out?

A crash landing is dragging down the entire drone industry. When DroneShield's stock slipped on Tuesday despite what were actually strong numbers, other stocks in this young, forward-looking sector also came under pressure—even though their businesses have little to do with the Australian company's problems. This is precisely where a massive opportunity could lie for investors—at least if analysts are to be believed. The experts' price targets signal more than 100% upside potential for Volatus Aerospace and Red Cat Holdings.

Deutz, Jungheinrich, and Almonty: Where Investors Can Find Real Opportunities in the Market Right Now

  • Tungsten
  • Defense
  • CriticalMetals
  • geopolitics

The European industrial landscape is currently noticeably fragmented, which presents investors with difficult decisions about which stocks will perform well and which will perform poorly. While it has never been easy to make the right choice, as established, long-standing German corporations grapple with rising material costs, intense price pressure, and, in some cases, the aftermath of internal conflicts, interest is increasingly shifting toward companies in strategic niche markets, including the commodities and defense sectors. The stocks of Deutz and Jungheinrich reflect the current challenges facing the broader mechanical engineering sector, which is suffering from noticeable margin pressure despite solid order intake. Defense, however, is a buzzword that could boost the performance of one or two stocks in that sector—if handled skillfully. At the same time, the spotlight is on commodity stocks that are benefiting from global geopolitical upheavals. Almonty Industries, in particular, is drawing attention due to an exciting consolidation pattern on the charts. Can this tungsten heavyweight soon regain its former strength? This report examines the current situation of the three stocks and highlights where real opportunities might now be emerging!

Helsing IPO in 2027? Hensoldt Expands Drone Partnership as First Hydrogen Eyes Robotics Re-Rating

  • Defense
  • Robotics

Could Helsing go public as early as next year? The defence technology company is currently valued at a whopping USD 18 billion. To justify that valuation, Helsing is developing, among other things, the CA-1 Europa autonomous combat aircraft. Hensoldt is supporting this effort, and the partnership was recently expanded. Meanwhile, First Hydrogen is broadening its business model. CEO Balraj Mann increasingly views autonomous systems as a key technology in light of changes in the defence, security, and disaster response sectors. By building in-house AI expertise, the company aims to further develop its UGV program for autonomous navigation, situational awareness, and counter-drone capabilities, while simultaneously expanding its strategy at the intersection of clean energy, mobility, and robotics. If successful, these initiatives could provide the catalyst for a re-rating of the company's shares.

Oversold? Kostolany Buy Signals Emerge for Rheinmetall, Lahontan Gold and Coinbase

  • Bitcoin

Hopes for a lasting ceasefire between the US and Iran are driving stock prices higher. Oil prices are falling, and inflation concerns are easing. Even in such a supportive environment, however, investors should avoid buying indiscriminately. Legendary investor André Kostolany coined the rule: when prices ignore bad news, panic selling has ended. In other words, those who wanted to sell have already done so. This pattern now appears to be emerging in three very different stocks. The German defence contractor Rheinmetall, the Canadian exploration company Lahontan Gold, and the US crypto platform Coinbase have all retreated significantly from their respective highs. Yet, each has recently absorbed negative news without suffering further meaningful declines—potentially signalling that sentiment has begun to stabilize.

Commodity stocks have lost significant ground following the recent market correction—even though the fundamental outlook for many companies has continued to improve. Rising demand for tungsten, copper, and other strategic metals, driven by AI, defense, the energy transition, and digitalization, is meeting with tight supply. For long-term investors, this pullback could therefore present an attractive entry opportunity. Companies with advanced projects, strong balance sheets, and rising production are now back in the spotlight.

Turnaround Stocks with Up to 200% Upside? Renk, Eckert & Ziegler and Power Metallic Mines in Focus

  • PGMs
  • Copper
  • Electrification
  • Defense

Renk's shares have fallen by around 50% since October 2025. Has this created an attractive entry opportunity? Jefferies certainly believes so, assigning the stock a fair value of EUR 60. The company's upcoming half-year results are expected to be strong, with analysts anticipating an improvement in second-quarter margins. The company has reported operational success in the US. Power Metallic Mines could be on the verge of a strong rally. Copper, one of the world's most sought-after metals, is a key component of the company's world-class polymetallic deposit in Canada. Analysts see nearly 200% upside potential, while several important catalysts are expected in the near future. Meanwhile, Eckert & Ziegler has been in a downtrend for the past year. The market entry of a new competitor has weighed on the shares, but analysts believe investors' concerns are overdone.
