In peace and war – Defense stocks poised for the next leap: Volatus Aerospace, thyssenkrupp, DroneShield and Rheinmetall
Europe's defense industry is facing an unprecedented wave of investment. The combination of long-term secure financing, political resolve, and technological modernization is creating an attractive environment for providers of defense systems, sensor, and AI solutions. Analysts expect average growth rates of 5 to 10%, which will see the market expand from around EUR 125 billion to approximately EUR 170 billion by 2030. The key drivers are the EU's massive investment offensives, which aim to mobilize up to EUR 800 billion through the new SAFE financial instrument. This is a historic turning point for rearmament - especially after 25 years of disarmament. The package includes EUR 150 billion in loans for the joint procurement of high-tech systems such as drones, air defense, and artillery. Which stocks stand to benefit from this scenario?

Evotec downgraded! Out of Hensoldt? Into Pure Hydrogen?
Out of Hensoldt and into Rheinmetall? That is what analysts are suggesting—at least indirectly. Valuation is becoming a headache. How do other experts view the share's performance? In contrast, an exciting buying opportunity seems to be developing at Pure Hydrogen. With their openness to technology, the Australian company is clearly striking the right chord with customers. Once again, they have managed to win over a client in the US – the world's largest commercial vehicle market. Heavy commercial vehicles with fuel cell drives are scheduled for delivery before the end of this year. The stock is unlikely to remain this cheap for long. At Evotec, on the other hand, the MDAX downgrade is weighing heavily, with the stock trading close to its multi-year low. Analysts see almost 100% upside potential, but investors are not responding.

Critical raw material supply: Rheinmetall's risk, Almonty Industries' opportunity, and Xiaomi's trump card
One strategic metal dominates the plans of military and tech companies: tungsten. Indispensable for high technology, from precision ammunition to powerful electric car motors, its supply is becoming a geopolitical issue. Western nations are fighting for supply independence, catapulting a previously overlooked mining operator into a unique position. This development reveals drastic dependencies and creates clear winners. Three companies exemplify this new reality: Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and Xiaomi.

Will Trump's tariffs be stopped by the courts? Gold and silver on the rise – Deutz, Desert Gold, Renk, and Hensoldt in focus
A US appeals court has declared most of Trump's tariffs unlawful under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977. This law allows the president to take economic measures against foreign countries in the event of a declared national emergency. However, no such national emergency currently exists. Instead, the US economy is growing at a moderate pace, while benefiting from the energy supply emergencies in Europe and further defense support for Ukraine. The US is no longer simply giving these goods away; instead, it now provides loans or sells them to allied countries. This creates significant uncertainty in the markets, which in turn is fueling defense stocks as well as gold and silver. New highs were reached at USD 3,640 for gold and USD 41.5 for silver. Where do the opportunities lie for investors?

Gold and defense stocks are unstoppable! Barrick Mining, Deutz, Dryden Gold
Gold and defense stocks are currently dominating the markets. The price of gold has reached a new record high of over USD 3,600 per troy ounce, and experts are forecasting prices of up to USD 5,000. Barrick Mining is finally benefiting from this. The investor favorite has jumped and gained 50%. Newmont has performed even better. Investors are now betting on successful explorers like Dryden Gold. The Canadians are reporting strong drilling results, and analysts see considerable potential. The latest "gap drilling" also highlights that the Gold Rock project could develop into a large-volume deposit. Only defense stocks can almost keep up with the performance of gold. Deutz surprised investors with a takeover in the drone sector and is trading at its highest level since 2007. Analysts praise the move, and the chances of inclusion in the MDAX are increasing.

Berlin's billion-euro programs are making shareholders rich! Rheinmetall, Hochtief, Argo Graphene and Bilfinger
The money-printing machine is running! The 2026 federal budget has now been approved at EUR 521 billion. The defense budget is set to rise from EUR 62.4 billion to EUR 82.7 billion. In addition, there will be an additional EUR 25.5 billion from the special budget for the German Armed Forces. Federal investments – including the Climate and Transformation Fund and new special assets – will amount to approximately EUR 126.7 billion in 2026. New borrowing is expected to rise to EUR 89.9 billion, and if the so-called "special assets" are included, new borrowing will rise to EUR 174.3 billion – a historic figure. This is a windfall for companies in the defense and infrastructure sectors. Which stocks are now taking center stage?

Opendoor, Almonty Industries, BioNTech – Great opportunities outside the tech bubble
While the Nasdaq 100 continued to lose momentum last week, along with leading tech stocks, the crisis metal gold celebrated a new all-time high at USD 3,586 per ounce. The escalating geopolitical crises and the intensifying trade war between the US and China are likely to drive prices for critical raw materials in the long term. Western producers remain attractively valued.

Trump under pressure, markets wobble – Technically position now with BYD, Almonty, and Palantir for the next 100% gains!
The stock markets are in yet another bubble, but unlike the tech bubble in 2000, investors are more prepared for the impending correction. The warning signs could not be more evident: inflation, wars, numerous global conflicts, surging interest rates, massive deficits, tariffs and trade wars! Anyone who sees short-term growth under these conditions is likely mistaken. And yet, the market is still holding on to the megatrends of artificial intelligence and defense. Admittedly, 1,000% or more could be earned here, which is good for those who rode out these trends. But caution is advised: The Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 rose above 40 last week – well above the historical norm of 12 to 25. So, where is the celebration continuing? We offer a few clues.

Rheinmetall shares above EUR 2,200? SELL SMA Solar? dynaCERT with SALES SUCCESS!
Could Rheinmetall shares surpass EUR 2,200 following a potential acquisition? Analysts consider this possible after taking a closer look at the Company's opportunities in the marine sector. There is even talk of a potential takeover battle with another German company. Meanwhile, sales are picking up at dynaCERT. An initial large order is expected to strengthen its distribution partnership in the Americas. If the success stories continue, higher share prices are on the cards for the cleantech company. The situation is quite different at SMA Solar. After a significant profit warning and millions in write-downs, the Company is sliding deep into the red. Analysts are lowering their price targets and see no buying opportunity even after the recent price slump.
