Top News! Hydrogen Breakthroughs and Drone Defense: Are Plug Power, DroneShield, and First Hydrogen Finally Taking Off?
The global economy is undergoing structural change. Due to global crises and the desire for greater energy independence, renewable energy is once again becoming a focus of investor interest. Against this backdrop, three companies are attracting renewed investor attention. While operating in very different segments - hydrogen infrastructure, counter-drone defense, and hydrogen-powered robotics - they share a common thread: positioning themselves in markets with strong structural tailwinds and increasing government involvement. One stock in particular could soon see a sharp rise following a quiet period and new investments, much like it did last year. Those who look closely may spot the signs of a potential recovery. We take a closer look at the three companies that could play a key role on the stock market in the coming months.

Tungsten in Focus: Almonty's Strategic Position and the Battle for Western Resource Sovereignty – Implications for SpaceX and Sandvik
Wars and the shifting of power blocs are driving major changes across many industries. Technological breakthroughs and visionary ideas are already beginning to take shape. In this context, the element tungsten is becoming increasingly important. With the highest melting point of any metal at 3,422 °C, a density nearly equal to that of gold, and exceptional hardness, this material is largely irreplaceable in metalworking, the defense industry, semiconductor manufacturing, and, more recently, nuclear fusion. For a long time, the global market for tungsten was dominated by China, which controlled over 80% of mine production and nearly 70% of processing capacity. But this era ended abruptly when the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced strict export controls on 25 strategic metals, including tungsten, in February of last year. At the same time, the so-called REEShore Act came into effect in the US, strictly prohibiting the use of Chinese tungsten in military equipment starting in 2027. In its report "Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025," the International Energy Agency (IEA) rightly emphasizes that it is crucial to closely monitor such concentrated supply chains for the sake of global security and defense capabilities.

Almonty Industries: Strategic Reassessment Opens Up Further Upside Potential
It is a good thing when a company has what many others want. This is particularly true for Almonty Industries. The US-based company produces the critical raw material tungsten, which is in high demand and irreplaceable across many industries due to its unique properties, such as extreme heat resistance and the ability to withstand enormous pressure. Demand is rising enormously, particularly in the defense industry. Almonty is set to become the largest tungsten producer outside of China in the foreseeable future. Its main production site in Sangdong, South Korea, was designed to generate high margins even in a low-price environment of USD 350 per metric ton unit (MTU). The price currently stands at USD 3,000 per MTU. Analysts are factoring in only a fraction of that. Given the fundamentally changed market conditions, a revaluation of the stock will begin, taking into account the new reality and the company's geopolitical significance.

Volatus Aerospace on the Rise – From Aerial Imagery to a Question of Power: Drone Technology Is Shaping the Future
The skies no longer belong solely to airplanes. Drones are rapidly evolving from niche tools into a core technology across industries. They are man-made, but ultimately superior, because they see better and act without emotion according to predefined patterns. They enhance data collection, automate processes, and expand operational capabilities—from agriculture to security. What was once experimental is now becoming systemically relevant. Autonomous systems secure energy supplies, facilitate rescue operations, and modernize global supply chains. Their dual utility makes them a key infrastructure of the digital age. For whoever possesses drone technologies increasingly controls the flow of data and resources and optimizes protection against unwanted threats. A trend that is clearly gaining momentum in the financial markets, with one name at the forefront: Volatus Aerospace.

Winners and Losers of the Iran War: Rheinmetall, TUI and A.H.T. Syngas
Analysts see nearly 150% upside potential for A.H.T. Syngas shares. The company offers a clean alternative to natural gas. In an interview, the CEO reports a "real surge" since the war in Iran. Analysts expect significantly rising revenues and profits. Could these projections even be too conservative? Rheinmetall is certainly not undervalued. Moreover, the defense contractor seems out of step with the times with its "heavy military equipment." But with drones and missiles, the company aims to keep pace with the times and is forming partnerships to that end. TUI, on the other hand, is struggling with the consequences of the Iran war. Cruise ships are stranded, kerosene prices are rising, and vacation destinations in the Arab world are not being booked. Nevertheless, analysts are surprisingly optimistic.

Volatus Aerospace: A Dual-Use Drone Play with Growth Potential
Whether in civilian or military applications, drones are becoming an increasingly important component of modern technology ecosystems. Recent conflicts, including in Ukraine and the Middle East, have highlighted their strategic relevance. The major powers are faltering. Tank manufacturers are trembling. Yet drones are also increasingly permeating civilian society, a virtually unstoppable trend. According to Global Market Insights, the global drone market could exceed USD 66 billion by 2035, up from around USD 20 billion today. Within this environment, Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself as an integrated provider in North America. Supported by a strong order pipeline, the company is on a growth trajectory. Therefore, investors should also take a look at the stock, especially since there is currently an opportunity to buy in.

"Top Pick" Siemens Energy, Drone Potential at Steyr Motors, and a Buying Opportunity at DRC Gold
US President Trump continues to keep global stock markets on edge. Gold, energy, and defense stocks were expected to benefit from the announced blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. However, gold and defense stocks, in particular, have been trending weaker, just as they have over the past few weeks. This presents interesting buying opportunities. Take DRC Gold, for example. After the focus, the stock was on an upward trend. But over the past 4 weeks, it has fallen by around 20%. Meanwhile, the update on the resource estimate is imminent and could fuel new takeover speculation. Steyr Motors shares have also lost ground. Yet management looked optimistically toward the future at the AGM. Siemens Energy was among yesterday's losers. But this is no cause for concern. Analysts still consider the stock a "Top Pick," and the partnership with Amazon subsidiary AWS fuels AI speculation.

Double The Gains: 100% Rebound in Defense Stocks and Critical Metals – Rheinmetall, Antimony Resources, CSG, and Mutares in focus
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
The stock market gives and takes. While investors were able to celebrate a massive 5% gain last week, the tide has already turned in the opposite direction this week. The reason: The hoped-for peace talks in Pakistan between the US, Israel, and Iran have failed. Since this provides no positive momentum for the economy or the already strained energy and metals markets, volatility is likely to return in some sectors. We are looking at opportunities in the critical metals sector and highlighting some stocks that are showing attractive metrics again following recent corrections.
