Drones on the Horizon: Volatus Aerospace, Deutz, and Deutsche Telekom in the Crosshairs
Drones have long been more than just flying cameras. They have become a multi-billion-dollar market for industry, infrastructure, security, and, in particular, the military. Recent history shows that drones and other unmanned systems have irreversibly changed the battlefield. However, opportunity and risk remain two sides of the same coin. The same technology used to inspect a power line can paralyze an airport or carry out a military strike. Drone "incidents" are on the rise in European airspace and are believed to be manifestations of Russia's spreading hybrid warfare. More and more companies are tackling these challenges from various angles. As an integrated defence-tech specialist, Volatus Aerospace covers nearly the entire value chain. The increasing number of defence contracts is anchoring the Canadian company even more firmly within NATO. The long-established engine manufacturer Deutz supplies electric propulsion technology, thereby expanding its business with unmanned systems. With a major acquisition, the company is growing into new dimensions. The telecommunications giant combines sensor technology, secure data transmission, and partner solutions for drone detection and defence. Exciting developments—but what does this mean specifically for the three key players?

Evotec, DroneShield and Power Metallic Mines: Turnaround Opportunities, Defence Boom and Commodities Hidden Gem
The stock market can be a madhouse at the best of times—and right now, some developments seem to defy all logic. Yet markets are rarely driven by fundamentals alone. Greed, fear and shifting investor sentiment can send stocks in directions that appear difficult to explain from a purely rational perspective. While the cards are being reshuffled at Evotec's modern laboratories following a management shakeup, DroneShield is looking to benefit from the new defence boom in the skies. In Canada, Power Metallic Mines sits on a vast polymetallic deposit. Each of the three stocks has its own technical chart setup. We examine the hard facts, look at margins and balance sheets, and assess the real opportunities. Which of these three stocks offers significant turnaround potential, and where do risks still loom? Read on to find out.

Full Order Books, Weak Share Prices: Is This a Buffett Opportunity? Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Renk in Focus!
The defense boom is still going strong, but the tide has turned on the stock market. Following the sharp price gains of recent years, investors are becoming more selective. This is evident in Rheinmetall and Renk, whose stocks have come under pressure despite strong long-term demand. Meanwhile, Almonty Industries, a company operating at a different point in the value chain, remains in the spotlight. The South Korean tungsten mine Sangdong has received the green light to begin commercial operations at its processing facilities. Tungsten is considered a strategically important raw material for the defense and high-tech industries, and Almonty aims to position itself as the largest Western supplier in a highly concentrated market. Where are the greatest opportunities now?

Growth Plans Meet Reality: Gerresheimer, Redcare Pharmacy and Volatus Aerospace
On the stock market, a news item's value is not determined by its headline, but by whether it ultimately translates into sustainable revenue and earnings growth. Three very different business models are therefore facing critical phases over the coming quarters. One industrial company must stabilize margins and investor confidence, a drone specialist needs to scale its order book, and an online retailer must convert growth into profits. The following company updates show where opportunities lie, and which risks the market may already be pricing in.

Missed DroneShield's 500% Rally? The Next Drone Revolution Is Coming – First Hydrogen Set for a Revaluation!
Are we on the verge of the next drone revolution? Last year, investors were able to earn more than 500% at times with stocks like DroneShield. Now, unmanned systems are increasingly taking over the ground as well. The war in Ukraine shows just how quickly UGVs are evolving from logistical aids into offensive weapon systems. The market potential is enormous. On the stock market, the ground drone revolution has so far been treated as little more than a standalone theme. This is likely to change soon and drive up First Hydrogen's shares. After securing exclusive global patent rights in 2026 for the further development and commercialization of a patented AI-powered UGV platform, the company recently unveiled its first model. With a current market capitalization of just around EUR 22 million, it may only be a matter of time before the stock undergoes a major revaluation.

A Sensational Development in the M&A Carousel: Rheinmetall, BASF and Lahontan Gold
A sensational development is looming in the German chemical industry. BASF is considering acquiring speciality chemicals company Evonik. The Ludwigshafen-based company would thereby significantly expand its speciality chemicals business. Evonik has reacted cautiously. Analysts have responded positively. But some question marks remain. A small but strategically interesting acquisition is in the works in the gold sector. Lahontan Gold plans to acquire Emergent Metals outright, expanding its position in Nevada's Walker Lane gold district. Is this a move to prepare for a US IPO? Most recently, Lahontan increased its resource estimate and reaffirmed its goal of building a mine next year. And what about Rheinmetall? Its stock has fallen below EUR 1,000 again. The company is working to address its "dependence on the Bundeswehr" and its "old and heavy military equipment."

Raw Materials, Defense and Aerospace: Spectacular Price Targets for Almonty, Renk and OHB
September is traditionally not the best month for the stock market, which is why the DAX, Dow Jones, and others have struggled recently. During these periods, it is worth looking at second- and third-tier stocks. After all, individual stocks in this segment offer tremendous potential—if analysts are to be believed. Sensational studies were released last week on Almonty Industries, Renk and OHB. At first glance, a mining company, a transmission manufacturer, and a satellite builder have little in common. But on closer inspection, all three raise the question of how independent the West wants to be in the future when it comes to raw materials, defense, and space infrastructure. All three stocks are trading well below their all-time highs and offer upside potential ranging from 60% to over 100%.

Operation Vivaldi Is Changing the Nature of Warfare: First Hydrogen Follows Ukraine's Lead and Joins the Arms Race
Modern warfare is changing every week. This is exemplified on the battlefields of Ukraine, where, in recent weeks as part of Operation Vivaldi, heavy drones have deployed remote-controlled kamikaze ground robots more than 10 km behind enemy lines. The processes behind this latest Ukrainian offensive are compressing conventional innovation cycles from years to weeks and days, rewriting the rules of the game for the defence industry. Amid this arms race, significant opportunities are opening up for technology companies that approach innovation with the same drive as Ukraine's startups and its units on the front lines. Those that deliver highly flexible, comprehensive solutions from a single source are likely to lead the drone market of the future. We take a closer look at the latest developments at First Hydrogen.

Vonovia: Between Expropriation and Defence Industry Fantasies - Verbio and RE Royalties Ride the Energy Boom
Data centres, electrification and rising industrial energy demand are driving up the need for renewable power across North America. RE Royalties is one of the beneficiaries. Its home market of Canada provides a promising starting point, while in the US it is expanding its partnership with solar developer Solaris Energy. In contrast, Vonovia is struggling with rising interest rates and the threat of a possible expropriation in Berlin. The uncertainty is weighing on investor sentiment. For now, even the prospect of entering the defence sector is failing to provide a boost. The company's CEO recently floated the idea. Verbio, meanwhile, is seeing strong business performance, and analysts are recommending the stock as a "Buy".
