Lithium shortage grows: How BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield are benefiting
A new era of scarcity is dawning. Lithium prices are skyrocketing. As lithium becomes the strategic oil of the 21st century, entirely new technologies are fueling the appetite for energy. Electric mobility, drones, robotics, and AI all have one thing in common: they are driving up demand for energy storage systems that need to be more powerful, more efficient, and simply more robust. In this race for what is arguably the most important resource of our time, what counts most is secure supply chains. Without them, the much-vaunted technology of the future will fall by the wayside. We take a look at three specific companies that are benefiting from the new technologies: BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield.

Bombshell at D-Wave! Rheinmetall and Almonty Industries involved in future technologies, fusion energy, and laser technology!
There is a bombshell at D-Wave. The quantum specialist plans to expand its business model through an acquisition, investing USD 550 million in the process. Whether this will pay off is difficult to assess today. It is, however, easy to see that Almonty benefits from the high demand and tight supply of tungsten in the Western world. The stock was one of the high flyers in 2025 and still does not appear expensive. Another potential driver is emerging: tungsten plays a key role in advances in fusion energy. Rheinmetall is also working on future technologies. Germany's largest defense contractor aims to shoot down drones and other missiles with lasers in the future. Diversifying beyond tanks and other heavy equipment is both smart and important.

Boom & Bust 2026 – Where can investors still position themselves? BYD, BMW, DroneShield, and Power Metallic Mines
New highs every day – it is nothing short of a miracle. The international trouble spots around Ukraine, Gaza, and Venezuela appear to be growing with the addition of Syria and Iran. This means the next gear for the arms industry. The under-militarized NATO countries, in particular, are likely to continue to push ahead, as the US's guarantee of support for Western countries is no longer considered viable. Those who can no longer defend themselves today are at risk of being overrun by trigger-happy dictators. This makes things interesting for DroneShield and Power Metallic. The automotive industry must also show how it can get consumers back behind the wheel. The capital markets remain highly valued and extremely exciting, but the eternal one-way street of high tech still seems to have many potholes. Which stocks can overtake on the right?

Trump plans to invest over USD 1.5 trillion into the military! Opportunity for Rheinmetall and Graphano Energy!? CAUTION with Standard Lithium!
A bombshell on Wednesday! US President Donald Trump wants to increase military spending to USD 1.5 trillion per year. Already this year, the US is spending USD 901 billion on its military, more than any other country. In addition to US defense contractors, other companies could also benefit. One example is Graphano Energy. The Company is developing a graphite deposit in Canada. Graphite is considered a critical input for the military supply chain. Germany's largest defense contractor, Rheinmetall, is also hoping for growth in the US. Lithium producers are already being supported by the US government, which benefits Standard Lithium. However, Fitch is questioning market expectations.

Defense in a stranglehold: Why Lockheed and Boeing are grounded without antimony - and Antimony Resources holds the strategic solution
It is a chemical element with the atomic number 51 that has long led a shadowy existence on the world's stock exchanges, but whose strategic importance is now keeping security policymakers at the Pentagon awake at night: antimony. What sounds like a footnote in the periodic table is, in reality, the invisible glue holding together the modern defense and aviation industries. But this glue is becoming scarce. China, which dominates the global market with a share of more than 50% in production and nearly 80% in processing capacity, has begun to tighten the reins on exports. Trade barriers and opaque export restrictions are fueling real fears of a supply stoppage. In this high-risk geopolitical scenario, giants such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing are finding themselves in a bind, while small Western explorers such as Antimony Resources are suddenly becoming owners of assets that could prove indispensable to the national security of NATO countries.

ATTENTION - The next 100% opportunity could be here: Almonty, RENK, TKMS, and Infineon
Shares related to artificial intelligence continue to be a major focus in the market, even though the initial euphoria has subsided somewhat recently. Critical voices are increasingly warning of setbacks or even a significant correction. Among these skeptics is the well-known investor Michael Burry, who is said to have bet on falling prices for Nvidia and other industry peers. At the same time, shares linked to critical metals and their industrial end users have once again moved into the spotlight since the turn of the year. This is because tech specialists and AI infrastructure providers are under pressure to meet extremely high requirements in terms of energy supply, computing capacity, speed, and reliability. As a result, further opportunities are emerging for selected stocks. We highlight a few of these potential plays.

+23% price increase in just a few days! DroneShield, BioNTech, and WashTec shares!
DroneShield shares have already gained over 23% in the first few trading days of the year. The drone defense specialist is receiving a boost from two orders placed shortly before the turn of the year. Is it now heading towards an all-time high? WashTec shares are also performing strongly. While German stocks are weakening overall, WashTec shares are at their highest level in a long time, and analysts see further upside potential. BioNTech has important study data coming up in 2026. But first, the acquisition of CureVac will be completed. This marks the end of a stock market story that caused only brief euphoria.

Defense and commodity stocks remain top performers! These should not be missing from any portfolio: Almonty Industries, TKMS, and Salzgitter
Defense and commodity stocks continue to offer attractive investment opportunities. Geopolitical tensions, such as those currently in Venezuela, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine, are providing companies in the defense industry with a sustained economic boom. Critical raw materials are also geopolitically significant. These resources, along with secure supply chains outside China, carry great weight for both companies and states. We explain why the companies listed above benefit from this overall constellation.

Nordex shares unstoppable! Sell Hensoldt? Gold gem Kobo Resources with takeover speculation!
Nordex shares continue their strong momentum in 2026, rising nearly 10% in just a few trading days. Investors are responding to the wind turbine manufacturer's strong year-end performance with heavy buying, prompting analysts to raise their price targets. In contrast, sentiment on Hensoldt is more cautious. Analysts recommend selling, citing a lack of fundamental support for the recent price gains and warning of rising competitive pressures. Meanwhile, gold has shrugged off recent selling pressure and is marching back toward USD 4,500. Gold explorer Kobo Resources stands to benefit from this trend. In a recent interview, the CEO expressed optimism and even mentioned the possibility of a takeover. The question for investors: Is now the right time to buy?
