Empty Ammunition Stockpiles, Tight Tungsten Supply: Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin Set to Benefit

  • Tungsten
  • CriticalMetals
  • Defense
  • armaments
  • geopolitics

As geopolitical conflicts intensify once again and NATO countries ramp up defence spending, ammunition supplies are increasingly running low. This is making tungsten ever more important. Without this critical raw material, armour-piercing ammunition, precision missiles and high-performance tools cannot be produced. Starting in 2027, US procurement rules will also require supply chains independent of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This is redirecting billions of dollars and intensifying the race for secure sources. Against this backdrop, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Lockheed Martin are moving into focus. All three companies stand to benefit from the realignment of the Western defence industry.

The Drone Threat Is Growing! Volatus Aerospace, Rheinmetall and Deutz in Focus

  • Drones
  • Defense
  • hightech
  • geopolitics

Geopolitical upheaval is reshaping the defence sector. What long seemed like a scene from a movie has long since become reality. Drones are increasingly being spotted over critical infrastructure, airports, and military facilities. This underscores the need for high-performance drone defence systems. Volatus Aerospace is one of the highly specialized defence tech companies offering a complete ecosystem in this key industry. The latest major contract from the Canadian government impressively underscores the business potential. At the same time, established industry giants like Rheinmetall are sitting on record-high order books, yet their share prices continue to correct. The crucial question is increasingly which sectors are driving growth and how margins are developing. Through a strategic acquisition, the long-established engine manufacturer Deutz is now also focusing on the defence sector. The stock market likes this. Which stock will take off next?

Ivanhoe Mines, Power Metallic Mines, Rio Tinto: Commodity Giants on the Offensive

  • Electromobility

Copper is more expensive than ever before. On the LME, the price temporarily climbed to over USD 14,600 per metric tonne. At the same time, demand is growing due to power grids, data centres, electric mobility, and defence spending, while new mines take years to reach production. The industry's response to the current situation is clear. Major mining companies are securing additional deposits, while exploration companies are seeking to define the mines of tomorrow through new resource discoveries.

Defence and the Price of Growth: AeroVironment, Rheinmetall, and Volatus Aerospace in the Spotlight

  • Drones
  • Defense
  • armaments
  • geopolitics
  • hightech

The war in Ukraine has exposed many of the promises made by the traditional defence industry. When expensive weapons systems are neutralized by swarms of low-cost drones, long-held notions of military strength can quickly evaporate. Satellite navigation fails due to jamming, communications links break down, and chains of command are disrupted. On battlefields in Ukraine, huge tanks often look like beetles that have fallen onto their backs. A shift in thinking is therefore necessary. What is needed today are autonomous drones that can independently target objectives while flying at low altitude or take on other tasks. The Western defence industry needs to rethink its approach.

Global value chains are being realigned. Fueled by ongoing geopolitical tensions, global supply chain restructuring and historic rearmament programs, the spotlight is shifting to companies that form the physical backbone of Western industry and defence. Investors looking to capitalize on tomorrow's trends can no longer ignore critical metals like tungsten and specialized defence companies. Almonty is positioning itself as a strategic tungsten supplier for Western industry and is helping to reduce dependence on China's dominant market position for this key metal. Analysts are bullish. Renk supplies indispensable key components for military vehicles through its specialized propulsion systems, while TKMS, with its submarines and naval vessels, stands for the security of sea lanes and maritime deterrence. Critical raw materials, military mobility, and modern fleets—where are the most attractive stock market opportunities?

While Germany's political parties are locked in a fierce battle over coalition-building after the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, the global stock market is emerging as a playing field where traditional industrial strength, the green energy transition, and technological change converge. Deutz has caused a stir with a billion-euro deal in the defence sector, while Nordex has seen an impressive surge thanks to analyst upgrades. For dynaCERT, the cleantech story should finally be taking off. It is starting to look very much like a breakthrough.

BMW in Crisis, Renk Corrects! Will Volatus Aerospace Become the Stock of the Hour on the Drone Hype?

  • Drones

  • hightech
  • Automotive
  • geopolitics

Global stock markets remain challenging overall, driven by ongoing crises and wars. Today, we take a closer look at three companies and their stocks that would normally be potential holdings in growth-oriented portfolios. We start with Augsburg-based transmission specialist Renk, whose stock has recently been punished by the market despite strong fundamentals. We then examine the already well-advanced but painful transformation at Bavarian flagship automaker BMW, which has recently shocked investors with weak margins. Finally, we present a company that is still something of a "hidden gem" for many investors: Volatus Aerospace. The Canadian drone specialist has just reached an important milestone and, from a technical analysis perspective, could be on the verge of a breakout. Buckle up - things could get exciting!

A Shift in the Portfolio: Why Lahontan Gold Could Outperform Heavyweights Xiaomi and TKMS

  • Electromobility

The Chinese conglomerate Xiaomi is launching a major offensive with new foldable smartphones and electric vehicles, yet its share price remains under pressure. Meanwhile, the Kiel-based defence specialist TKMS is seeing a noticeable pullback after reaching an all-time high last August. Is the sell-off in the defence stock merely a healthy breather, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? Beyond these two companies, a smaller stock in the commodities sector could attract even more attention, as Lahontan Gold appears poised for a technical breakout after a prolonged consolidation phase. Backed by solid metrics from its initial PEA, the stock is now experiencing a dynamic upward trend. We take a closer look at all three stocks and highlight which one could potentially have the edge as a portfolio holding.

The summer was highly volatile and eventful for the stock markets. War, oil prices, the dollar, interest rates, and extreme moves in chip stocks drove share prices and generated plenty of headlines despite the summer lull. The fact is, however, that the real trading season is only getting underway now. With Labor Day on Monday in North America, the unofficial summer break is effectively over. Many investors have returned to their screens and are likely looking for attractive stocks. Trading volumes should therefore pick up significantly across the markets. The extreme price swings have created opportunities. Some of the most promising opportunities are likely to be found primarily in AI, defence, and commodities. That is why today we are taking a look at the stocks of Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Micron Technology.
