Almonty Industries – The final row of stones in the tungsten pyramid is being laid
Building a pyramid requires patience, precision, and perseverance – just like the rise of Almonty Industries (TSX: AII | ISIN: CA0203987072 | NASDAQ: ALM) to become the most important tungsten producer outside China. After a spectacular NASDAQ debut, the stock recently came under pressure. But now, everything points to a comeback – with strategic global significance. As the saying goes, the profit is in buying, and those who have been mere spectators of the unique tungsten producer's rapid share price development in recent months now have a second chance to get in.

Nickel as a strategic defense metal scarcer than expected: Lockheed Martin, Glencore, and Power Metallic Mines
Nickel is classified as a critical raw material in the EU. Yet many observers still fail to take the tense situation in the nickel market seriously — a major mistake. While there is currently an oversupply of nickel, forecasts are already predicting a future shortage. In addition, nickel comes in different grades. High-purity nickel comes largely from Russia, making supply anything but secure. Nickel is urgently needed for both modern batteries and in the defense sector. We take a look at the nickel market, explain where the metal is urgently needed, and introduce the two notable nickel stocks, Glencore and Power Metallic Mines.

Defense remains number one – another 200% with Heidelberger Druck, Almonty, Hensoldt, and DroneShield?
When the word "defense" is heard on the trading floor, investors' hearts beat faster. This was recently evident in an 80% rally by Heidelberger Druck in just 48 hours. Who would have thought it, given that Germany has benefited from the "peace dividend" for over 25 years and virtually eliminated its defense capabilities. Today, with conflicts and threats lurking around every corner, weapons and defense technology are back in the spotlight. From an economic perspective, it is encouraging that Germany can reestablish an industrial foothold in this field, especially as the automotive sector is facing headwinds. However, a detached view of the context reveals that profits and prosperity for shareholders are now being generated from the construction of machines that are directed against human life. This is a novelty in the German political potpourri, where the sector has been regulated for years, and the left wing tends to have the say. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Following in the footsteps of PayPal and Co.? Deutz and Veganz dare to spark a revolution
PayPal's share price climbed from USD 30 to over USD 260 in just four years – but what fueled the hype between 2016 and 2021? PayPal was perceived as a driver of innovation. Even back then, the market praised its significant market position and potential opportunities, for example, in cryptocurrencies. Just a few days ago, PayPal finally rolled out crypto payments within its platform. However, the market had already anticipated this move years ago. This shows that companies that the market believes will continue to innovate often receive advance praise in the form of sharply rising share prices. In addition to PayPal, we present two other innovation drivers of today that could become the new darlings of the markets.

270% surprise! Rheinmetall, Zalando, Walmart partner MiMedia – Time to buy shares?
With a strong performance of 270%, MiMedia shares are one of this year's surprises. And the chances are good that the stock will continue to perform well in the future. With strong partners such as Walmart behind it, the cloud specialist aims to grow significantly in the coming years. Rheinmetall needs to grow massively to justify its ambitious valuation. However, the supercycle in the defense industry promises golden years ahead. The group also wants to carve out a large slice of the billion-dollar pie in other European countries. After a strong start to the year, Zalando shares have slipped considerably. The takeover of competitor AboutYou has now been completed, and analysts see upside potential.

Drone hype: Who is getting the best deal? Volatus Aerospace, Renault, Rheinmetall
The days of tanks and howitzers are over. The war in Ukraine shows that drones are changing the face of combat—they provide reconnaissance, carry out precision strikes, and score points with low acquisition costs and high effectiveness. It is no wonder that major arms manufacturers and industrial companies want to jump on the drone bandwagon. Renault has even been asked by the French government to enter the business. But the barriers to entry in this market are high. We explain who is likely to profit from the drone business in the future and why size and capital are no guarantee of long-term success.

YIELD MONSTERS 2025: Hensoldt, Steyr Motors, Veganz shares – another 250% gain?
When it comes to German return monsters for 2025, investors rightly think primarily of defense companies like Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, and Steyr Motors. However, with a 250% gain, the Veganz Group may well be the surprise of the year. The Company is currently reinventing itself and attacking a billion-dollar market. Analyst estimates appear to be far too conservative and are likely to be revised upward soon. The stock, therefore, remains very attractive. Hensoldt has multiplied in value in recent years and is now supplying radar systems for the protection of Ukraine. The order volume is in the mid-three-digit million range. Steyr Motors will have to grow to this revenue range in the coming years to justify its current valuation. Analysts nevertheless recommend buying the stock.
