Big Short on defense? Long in gold! Caution with Renk, Deutz, and Airbus - Revaluation for Desert Gold imminent
After a record quarter on the stock markets, caution is now called for. Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the growing national debt is fueling the rising prices. This will worsen the situation for growth stocks, particularly, as hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak in the short term. Defense stocks have soared on the back of the government's trillion-dollar check, with heavenly balance sheet figures expected for them in the future. In the short term, however, they have already priced in the year 2030 in their share prices, which will result in a slowdown in the current 2025. In this environment, gold can no longer be held back because when currencies offer less and less purchasing power, precious metals are in demand. We take a critical view of Renk, Steyr, and Airbus. For Desert Gold, the boosters should ignite soon!

Rocketing prices and takeover speculation! Steyr Motors, Evotec, and Defence Therapeutics!
Steyr Motors is now riding not only the defense wave but also the takeover wave. After the announcement of a cooperation with a Rheinmetall subsidiary, the niche stock has become a shooting star. However, the price has also come back just as quickly. The Austrians now want to grow aggressively through acquisitions. Without takeover speculation, the share price of Defence Therapeutics has already risen by over 60%. The biotech company is still inexpensive, is making progress in monetization, and could become an acquisition candidate. Evotec is currently out of steam. Analysts see significant downside potential and a chance of a turnaround.

Steyr, Hensoldt, Mutares, and thyssenkrupp sell, First Phosphate remains a gamechanger
The special fund of up to EUR 1 trillion has been approved. What seemed impossible before the election is now law. Federal President Steinmeier signed the amendment to the constitution at the weekend, thereby sealing the largest economic stimulus package in German economic history. Instead of celebrating, the DAX only rose briefly to 23,136 points, then the sell-off occurred according to the motto "Buy the Rumor, Sell the Fact". The hyped defense stocks could now suffer the same fate. A lot of imagination has been priced in here, but capacity expansion is proceeding slowly. Therefore, not all expectations will immediately translate into positive cash flows. A thorough analysis is needed!

ARMAMENTS and GOLD! Target prices are rising! Barrick Gold, Deutz, and Globex Mining!
The "Rambo Zambo" billions of Friedrich Merz continue to drive the Deutz share higher. After the solid annual figures, profit-taking seemed likely to set in for the engine manufacturer's shares, but this was misinterpreted! Yesterday, analysts again raised the target price significantly! The Globex Mining share is also performing strongly. The mining incubator is benefiting not only from the rising gold price, which remains solidly above the USD 3,000 mark. Will it crack the USD 3,500 mark soon? A deal has now been brokered with IAMGOLD. And what is Barrick Gold doing? After the recovery rally, it seems momentum has slowed. Now, a project is also being abandoned.

Barrick Gold, Golden Cariboo Resources, Deutz – Seeking a safe haven? Gold shines, Weapons boom!
In turbulent times, investors flee to safe havens – but in addition to gold, defense stocks are now taking center stage. The price of gold is climbing to record levels in the face of geopolitical crises, trade conflicts, and a weakening US dollar, supported by demand from emerging markets such as China and India. At the same time, defense companies are booming: military spending is rising globally, NATO commitments are fueling the market, and complex supply chains are exacerbating scarcity. Companies like Rheinmetall are shining with record share prices and competing with gold as a crisis investment. A new era of hedging is dawning, in which both precious metals and weapons technology are becoming symbols of risk-averse capital.

250% Stock Rockets: Attention, it is taking off now with Nel ASA, naoo AG, Steyr, Mutares, and Hensoldt
The German economic stimulus package has been launched. The only thing missing is the approval of the Bundesrat, which is expected today. Public opinion is divided because the total of up to EUR 1 trillion in "special funds" is the largest debt incurred by the now 75-year-old federal government. The doubters see it as an enormous burden for future generations, while supporters emphasize that Germany has hardly invested in its future for many years and that the renewal backlog is now finally being addressed. This measure will increase the debt-to-GDP ratio by around 25%, while at the same time, the targeted measures in armaments, infrastructure, and climate protection will improve growth by around 0.2 to 0.3% annually with an increased state quota. The stock market celebrates, while the working population has to contribute around EUR 500 in interest annually as an additional tax burden. The election winners had promised significant tax relief. Where do the opportunities for investors lie?

Steyr Motors, dynaCERT, and NEL – Growth drivers in defense and greentech
Investors love companies that impress with fresh ideas and strong growth. In the greentech and defense sectors, three players are in focus: Steyr Motors AG is convincing in its 2024 annual report with a 9.2% increase in revenue. The defense sector is booming, and the Austrian company's expansion into Asia is making it a global player. A revenue jump of at least 40% is even expected for 2025. The Canadian greentech company dynaCERT is making waves with its HydraGEN™ technology. It is particularly attracting attention in Canada's oil and gas industry because it upgrades heavy-duty diesel engines with hydrogen technology, making it the ideal bridging technology. A new major order for over 140 units proves how dynaCERT combines innovation, efficiency, and ESG goals. Nel is cooperating with SAMSUNG E&A in the hydrogen sector: SAMSUNG is integrating Nel's electrolysers into its hydrogen plants and acquiring 10% of the shares. Three companies, three paths – what opportunities could arise for your portfolio?

TAKEOVER WAVE in ARMAMENTS and LITHIUM? Hensoldt, Standard Lithium, and BMW partner European Lithium
Is a takeover wave coming after the stock surge in the defense sector? Hensoldt's CEO has spoken out in favor of a consolidation of the industry in Europe. He plans to actively shape this process while also hiring thousands of new employees. At the same time, analysts advise selling Hensoldt shares. The share of European Lithium, on the other hand, is recommended for purchase. The Company is supporting BMW in its "Neue Klasse" and thus in the fight against competitors such as BYD. Trading has been suspended for days due to pending drilling results. There is also something going on at Standard Lithium in the US. Is the white gold on the verge of a comeback?

Almonty, Rheinmetall, Steyr Motors: Why defense stocks are exploding now!
The world is entering a new geopolitical era: armament and defense production have top priority. Countries are effectively investing unlimited sums into their defense industries, which means gigantic opportunities for investors! Those who are positioned correctly now can benefit from price increases that are rarely seen, even in the most dynamic tech sectors. One example? The stock of Steyr Motors AG: Just a month ago, it was still available for EUR 14.80. This morning, it exploded on Tradegate to up to EUR 426.00 – an incredible price increase of 2,778%!

Another 200% price gain with Renk, thyssenkrupp or Almonty Industries?
Defense stocks are off to a strong start in the new trading week, with price targets continuing to rise. However, Rheinmetall and Co. seem to have run a little hot. It is worth taking a look at the second tier or along the value chain. Almonty Industries, for example, offers a buying opportunity with a single-digit P/E ratio and, according to analysts, an upside potential of over 200%. The tungsten producer is on the brink of a golden era. Its raw material is not only used in the latest generation of anti-aircraft ammunition but is also essential for countless products in the military and civilian sectors. As a result, the world's largest producer, China, is increasingly using export restrictions as a "weapon". thyssenkrupp has also been able to benefit from its defense division in recent weeks. The IPO is taking shape, and the government may purchase shares. And what is Renk doing? The transmission manufacturer has reported a major order in the US, and the target price is rising sharply.
