Aviation Stocks in Focus: Airbus, Volatus Aerospace and Lufthansa

Despite these circumstances, however, the markets for drones and civil aviation continue to grow. On the one hand, people want to continue traveling and flying. On the other hand, markets are opening up for both new and established companies with the emergence of redefined flying objects. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Airbus, Volatus Aerospace, and Lufthansa.

Buckle Up for a Short Squeeze: Could Almonty and HelloFresh Follow SpaceX's Rocket Launch?
When short sellers are caught off guard, it can lead to veritable price explosions. Although no supernova was observed at the aerospace company SpaceX last week, it was definitely more than a gentle liftoff: the share price shot up by more than 15% following its quarterly results. Notably high short positions have also recently built up for the tungsten producer Almonty Industries and the meal-kit delivery service HelloFresh. With earnings reports just around the corner for both stocks, these numbers could become the catalyst for an even bigger move.

Dividend Yield or Growth Potential? The Opportunities Offered by Bayer, BASF, and Volatus Aerospace
The war in Ukraine remains a source of uncertainty that continues to weigh on global markets. Russia and Ukraine are continuing their attacks on infrastructure and industrial facilities, while diplomatic solutions are still nowhere in sight. For investors, this means that energy prices, commodity markets, and security-related sectors remain vulnerable to sudden news developments. In particular, defence and aerospace stocks, as well as companies focused on autonomous and security-related technologies, including drones, stand to benefit from rising defence budgets and the growing need for technological independence. Investors entering the market at this time should therefore consider this underlying geopolitical tension as a permanent factor in their risk assessment. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at Bayer, BASF, and Volatus today.

Almonty Industries, Deutz, and GFT: Strong Upside Potential Thanks to Tungsten, Defense, and AI
Commodities, defense, and artificial intelligence are among the major stock market themes of our time. Three companies are currently making headlines in these areas. With its new tungsten mine in South Korea, Almonty Industries has evolved from a project developer to a producer. Engine manufacturer Deutz is establishing a second pillar in the defense sector through a multi-billion-euro acquisition. And software specialist GFT is demonstrating for the first time on a large scale that it can generate revenue with its own AI solutions. Three stocks with strong drivers for price growth—but very different risks.

Germany in the Crosshairs: Regulations Slow Down Hensoldt and DroneShield – Is Volatus Aerospace Heading for a Boom in Orders?
A threat is increasingly looming over industrial facilities in Germany, keeping European security authorities on edge: drones. While unmanned aerial vehicles could still be dismissed as harmless toys just a few years ago, the targeted surveillance of critical infrastructure using professional drones paints a completely different picture today. In 2023 alone, authorities recorded at least 446 drone sightings over German military sites, while the number of incidents involving critical infrastructure rose to well over 1,000 by the end of 2025, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. When unmanned systems spy on Bundeswehr facilities unnoticed or collect precise data on gas pipelines, caution is warranted—and this was true even before the incident involving a drone loaded with explosives at Leipzig Airport. We explore potential solutions and highlight exciting companies.

Sell Rheinmetall Shares? Over 20% Gains in One Week! Buy Rating for OHB! Bayer Partner MustGrow Begins Re-Rating
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
MustGrow Biologics shares climbed more than 20% last week, potentially marking the beginning of a long-awaited re-rating. Analysts believe significantly higher prices are achievable. Revenue is expected to multiply over the coming years, with the company also targeting substantial profitability. MustGrow could also benefit from milestone payments from its partner, Bayer. These potential payments are not included in current analyst estimates, potentially providing additional upside. At Rheinmetall, analysts are lowering their 2028 revenue estimates. Experts also see risks regarding cash flow and margins. As a result, they have downgraded the shares of Germany's largest defence contractor from "Hold" to "Sell." Analysts are considerably more optimistic about OHB. A key element of the investment case is the expectation that the German space-industry hopeful will secure major contracts over the coming months.

Tungsten Shortage Makes Headlines and Offers 100% Upside Potential: Almonty Industries, Indus Holding, and Lockheed Martin in Focus
China dominates the global tungsten market, and the West is increasingly feeling the consequences. The NZZ warns of a dangerous dependence on critical raw materials, while export controls and a lack of alternative sources are further exacerbating supply issues. This is precisely where Almonty Industries comes in. The company operates tungsten mines in Portugal and South Korea, with another operation in the US expected to come online soon. At the same time, tungsten prices are surging. According to Indus CEO Johannes Schmidt, tungsten carbide prices have roughly tripled since the beginning of the year. Almonty is not the only company benefiting from this development. Indus Holding, an investment company with exposure to the sector, has already raised its full-year guidance twice. The US military buildup is driving additional demand. With ammunition stockpiles running low, the Trump administration is putting pressure on Lockheed Martin and other defence contractors. For investors, the tungsten boom may have only just begun.
