Takeover fever! LAURION Mineral Exploration, Evotec, and Mutares are tempting investors to get on board!
M&A – mergers and acquisitions - remain powerful performance drivers for shareholders of potential takeover targets. But companies that acquire others also benefit from increased growth, access to new markets and technologies, and cost synergies. According to a recent study by Bain & Company, the majority of M&A activity in the current year, amounting to around USD 265 billion, has taken place in the energy and commodities sectors. In healthcare and life sciences, deals with a volume of USD 107 billion were recorded. So who could the next takeover candidates be?

Defense stocks catching their second wind: Almonty, Boeing, Rheinmetall
The question of European security has fallen somewhat out of focus on the stock market - shares in companies such as Rheinmetall and Almonty have fallen from their highs. But just because other topics are currently dominating the media, that does not mean that defense-related stocks do not have a promising future ahead of them. We take a look at three companies in the sector and explain what kind of potential investors can expect today.

How European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen are overcoming the supply chain crisis and creating potential in their portfolios
The global tech and defense industries are under pressure. Dependence on critical raw materials from limited sources is becoming a strategic nightmare. Recent trade restrictions are driving up prices, jeopardizing supply chains, and forcing Europe to rethink its strategy quickly. At the same time, studies warn of an impending lithium shortage that could bring the electric vehicle boom to an abrupt end. The race for secure supply and technological sovereignty is in full swing – and at the same time offers historic opportunities. We therefore take a look at three companies that are directly active in these turbulent markets: European Lithium, Hensoldt, and Volkswagen.

The new cold war over strategic metals! The buying frenzy continues at Almonty, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK
Investors today need a long-term perspective if they want to step outside the trading herd. For the past five years, machines have largely been calling the shots. They detect patterns across investor behavior and can anticipate mass movements even while you are still busy entering your order. This is because data aggregation takes place in nanoseconds. If, for example, a few more sell orders than usual enter the market, the machine immediately sends the Xetra price down, and vice versa. Those who invest over months and years do not need to worry about these practices, but anyone focused on short-term movements requires solid technical equipment and nerves of steel. Our peer group stocks Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, TKMS, and RENK are currently seeing plenty of action. We provide a few extras so you can make the right move!

Crash at DroneShield! Almonty Industries ensures raw material security, and RENK Group reports quarterly figures
In uncertain times, Europe is rearming. But billion-dollar defense budgets alone are not a panacea. Two things really matter. Can we develop modern weapons fast enough? And can we obtain the necessary raw materials without making ourselves vulnerable to blackmail? While EU countries continue to argue about who develops what, the supply chains of all Western nations are hanging by a thread. Against this backdrop, three specialized technology leaders are coming into focus: DroneShield, Almonty Industries, and RENK Group.

CHAOS at DroneShield! OUT of Hensoldt? New price target for Almonty?
Will Almonty shares soon reach a new all-time high? Analysts recently issued "Buy" recommendations on the tungsten gem, citing potential gains of around 20%. Turnover is expected to exceed CAD 600 million in just a few years, and the latest acquisition should accelerate this growth. Analysts are therefore likely to revise their forecasts upward soon. Hensoldt, on the other hand, disappointed investors. The forecast for the coming years is sobering and is also dragging down the shares of other defense stocks. The super cycle is still a long way off. And DroneShield? Management turmoil is causing chaos, with the share price plunging more than 50%.

GOLD RUSH at Barrick Mining and AJN Resources! Concerns at Rheinmetall?
With the price of gold soaring above USD 4,000 per ounce, the rally in the precious metals sector is gaining fresh momentum. This time, exploration companies should benefit more strongly, with AJN Resources emerging as an exciting candidate. New gold zones have recently been identified, and a new drilling program is set to begin soon. Will the stock take off? Barrick Mining's strong quarterly results are also contributing to the positive mood in the gold sector. Shareholders stand to benefit more from the Company's high cash flows. And what is Rheinmetall doing? Germany's largest defense contractor has released its latest quarterly figures. Shareholders are not cheering. Is there reason for concern?

More than 100%? Big Moves in gold and high-tech! Aixtron, Kobo Resources, Lanxess, and DroneShield
The next gold move is just around the corner. After the sharp rises in the third quarter, gold enthusiasts worldwide were already excited, and the USD 5,000 mark seemed a certainty. But things turned out differently: Unsurprisingly, the metal consolidated downward by a full USD 500 over the past three weeks. However, just below USD 3,800, the decline halted, and yesterday it was already climbing back to USD 4,100. The commodity market is still being driven by major uncertainty around the US shutdown and possible upcoming quantitative easing (QE) measures by the Fed. With the US debt ceiling again completely out of control at USD 38.5 trillion, a tangible solution is nowhere in sight. The sharp reduction in the current account deficit has brought little benefit to the US dollar, meaning that precious metals remain highly attractive against the backdrop of rising money supply and interest rates. Where should investors pay attention?

Starting point for the year-end rally! In the fast lane with Almonty Industries and Rheinmetall! What is happening with Hensoldt?
After 41 days, the longest government shutdown in US history, a turnaround seems imminent. In a decisive vote, the US Senate has cleared the way for a transitional budget. The ball now moves to the House of Representatives and will then land on President Donald Trump's desk. Can the breakthrough succeed after weeks of political deadlock? The odds are good. The financial markets are already reacting positively. This could be the spark for the year-end rally!
