100% chance of peace in 2025: Ukraine, Israel & Syria! Rheinmetall, Renk, Almonty and Palantir in focus
The DAX ran a little hot in December, with a new all-time high of over 20,522 points. Shortly before Christmas, it fell back to 19,850 points. Some say healthy; others say a turnaround. The fact is that the 2024 investment year was only positive for a fraction of the listed stocks despite the recessionary environment. They come from the high-tech, artificial intelligence, banking and defense sectors. With the renewed escalation of Russian attacks at the turn of the year, hopes for peace have been postponed for the time being, leaving defense stocks with their dearly paid-for charm. Producers of strategic metals are again coming into focus because, for Western industrial nations, the task is to secure supply chains as best as possible. Where are the opportunities for investors at the turn of the year?

CAUTION advised for Rheinmetall! COMEBACK for Bayer and Saturn Oil + Gas?
Christmas came a week early for Rheinmetall. Germany's largest defense company has secured further orders worth EUR 1.7 billion. However, investors are reacting cautiously, as a slump could be imminent. In contrast, the downside risk for Saturn Oil & Gas appears limited, with significant upside potential. As one of North America's most cost-effective oil producers, Saturn aims to generate total free cash flow of up to CAD 475 million over three years. Analysts’ targets represent a tripling of the share price. And what is Bayer doing? The Leverkusen-based company is trading close to its multi-year low. However, one analyst outlines an interesting scenario.

Future technologies: How Rheinmetall, Power Nickel and Super Micro are shaping the digital revolution
Digitization is spreading rapidly across all areas of the economy – from the military to the energy transition and artificial intelligence. Rheinmetall has received a major order from the government to digitally upgrade the Bundeswehr, with EUR 2 billion allocated for this project. Junior explorers such as the Canadian company Power Nickel, which is planning the first carbon-neutral nickel mine in North America, will also benefit from this. Nickel is an essential component of electronic components and storage media. In the booming AI sector, the Company Super Micro Computer is well-positioned and plans to expand its production in Malaysia despite the threat of a Nasdaq delisting. We provide the details.

Evotec, Rheinmetall, Vidac Pharma: Buy recommendation, cancer revolution, or price collapse?
Analysts see significant potential for multiplication with Vidac Pharma's stock. It has already been one of the standout performers in the biotech sector in the second half of the year. The Company aims to revolutionize cancer treatment and has published the next top news. Analysts also see further price potential for Rheinmetall. However, shareholders should brace themselves for a possible significant correction in the share price of Germany's largest defense contractor. By contrast, opinions on Evotec remain divided. Is the share price at risk of halving again after a year to forget? Or is now the time to buy in?

Watch out for Renk! TUI and Globex Mining share strong!
The Globex Mining share has performed positively in recent weeks. By investing in the mining incubator, investors can benefit from the commodities boom with a diversified risk profile. Chart-wise, there is upside potential, and the share buyback provides downside protection. In contrast, things are not looking good for Renk. The stock is performing significantly worse than Rheinmetall and Hensoldt. Now, analysts are also slashing their price targets. On the other hand, things are going well for TUI. The latest figures have convinced analysts. However, the first clouds are on the horizon. Is the travel boom waning? Analysts are divided.

Find the 100% opportunities for 2025! Rheinmetall, Renk, Globex Mining, C3.ai and Palantir in focus
After a 30% rise in prices in the major indices since the beginning of the year, investors are asking themselves how they can weatherproof their portfolio for 2025. On the one hand, a well-defined stop strategy for overheated high-tech stocks is an option. Therefore, the topic of trailing stops should be studied in more detail and implemented. For new investments, there are always interesting setbacks to get back in on the next party. This scenario currently applies to the defense stocks Renk and Rheinmetall. Globex Mining covers almost the entire range of strategic metals that are indispensable for high-tech and defense manufacturers. Furthermore, some AI stocks like Palantir or C3.ai deserve a critical look. Accumulated profits could quickly disappear again here. We are delving deeper into the analysis.

Super Micro Computer, Power Nickel, Renk – Cash in on megatrends

HIGHFLYER stocks with upside potential: Renk, TUI, Almonty Industries
The current year has seen the beginning of a revaluation of Almonty Industries. The tungsten producer's stock has already gained more than 50%. If analysts have their way, it could gain another 250%. According to analysts, there could still be over 250% upside potential, as the Company is on the verge of a revenue and profit surge with the opening of a mega-mine. The TUI share has finally jumped above the EUR 8 mark. Driven by statements about a strong summer season in 2025, there is room for further growth. At its IPO, Renk was sold as a high-flyer in the defense sector. While the Company has yet to live up to these high expectations, analysts see over 50% price potential.

Portfolio Rockets for 2025! Nel ASA, F3 Uranium, Renk, Rheinmetall and Hensoldt in focus
For many investors, this year's stock market felt like a warm rain. High-tech, AI, and defense stocks reached new all-time highs, thus gilding the returns of risk-conscious portfolios. However, even with the DAX 40 index constantly setting new all-time highs, there were only 34% winning stocks in Germany compared to 66% losing stocks. The market's rally has been highly selective, driven by just a few names. This makes it all the more important to identify dormant portfolio risks, regroup, and build a lineup poised to deliver strong returns in 2025. Here are some suggestions to consider.

Technological change and raw materials: Rheinmetall expands virtual training, Almonty plans breakthrough, Intel stumbles
The technology sector is going through turbulent times: the German defense contractor Rheinmetall is setting new standards in military training with virtual reality technology. The simulator, developed in collaboration with Hologate, can generate acceleration forces corresponding to twice the force of gravity. This makes training for military drivers feel incredibly realistic. Away from the tech giants, Canadian mining company Almonty Industries is preparing a strategic coup in South Korea: its Sangdong mine, equipped with state-of-the-art grinding equipment from Finnish company Metso, could soon break China's 80% dominance of the global tungsten market and become an important alternative source for the high-tech and defense industries. Chip giant Intel, on the other hand, is struggling to find its place in the AI boom after the surprising resignation of its CEO. In the third quarter of 2024 alone, the Company recorded a loss of USD 16.6 billion.
