RENK, Globex Mining, BYD: The raw materials gap – A threat to defense and e-mobility, An opportunity for miners
Global industry is facing a turning point. While defense giants like RENK are experiencing record demand yet continue to face investor skepticism, and electric vehicle leader BYD grapples with market saturation, raw materials are redefining the competitive landscape. Raw materials such as tungsten, antimony, and rare earths are essential for high-tech industries. Globex Mining is directly benefiting from this shortage of strategic metals – an effect that is permeating supply chains, from tank manufacturing to electric vehicle production. The diverging paths of these three players underscore the importance of supply security in determining success. An analysis of the current status of RENK, Globex Mining, and BYD reveals the strategic levers for future value creation.

Almonty Industries – Next signs point to an upgrade
Almonty Industries plays a key role in securing the future supply of raw materials for the West. At a time when approximately 90% of the world's tungsten supply originates from China and geopolitical tensions are escalating, the Company is becoming the focus of Western security interests due to its strategically important Sangdong mine in South Korea. Tungsten is indispensable for defense, aviation, electronics, and mechanical engineering, but until now has been virtually unavailable from conflict-free sources. Almonty is not only developing one of the largest deposits outside China, but could also become the most important tungsten producer in the Western world. This represents a unique opportunity from both an economic and geopolitical perspective.

The gold hammer! Goldman Sachs predicts USD 4,500 – Barrick, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and thyssenkrupp
The highest current estimate by investment banks for the price of gold is USD 4,500 per ounce by the end of 2025. This is the extreme scenario from Goldman Sachs, which could materialize in the event of a severe recession or major geopolitical escalation. In addition to the ever-present war scenarios, the economic outlook in the US also remains a source of uncertainty. The prospect of persistently high interest rates is fueling inflation concerns, with many wealthy investors pulling out of the dollar and increasingly turning to gold. This is also because US fiscal policy is perceived as increasingly chaotic. Additional tariffs are pushing the budget deficit even higher, creating an environment in which tangible assets are becoming more attractive. The increased demand for gold from institutional investors, funds, and central banks sends a clear message: the precious metals sector is on the verge of a new upswing.

Almonty fires up the turbo: Reaching new heights with tungsten and foresight
Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A1JSSD; ISIN: CA0203981034; EUR 2.75) is set to become a key player in strategic raw material security in 2025, and with good reason. Despite a fourfold increase in its share price and a market value of over CAD 1.2 billion, the story is far from over. Of particular concern are the intensifying international tensions between the power blocs of the US, Europe, and China, which show no signs of easing. At recent summit meetings, it became clear that neither side is willing to make concessions, even on minor issues. Tariffs, inflation, high debt, and a dire supply situation on the commodity markets are further exacerbating the political rifts between East and West. At the center of this storm are commodity producers and industrial buyers who depend on stable supply chains. Here is an update on our top pick: Almonty Industries.

Over 100% gains! Better than RENK and DroneShield shares? NATO contract for drone insider tip: Volatus Aerospace!
Changing of the guard for defense stocks? While RENK shares have lost more than 20% in recent weeks, drone specialists DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace have exploded. Volatus remains relatively inexpensive. Now, the Company has also secured a NATO contract. In terms of valuation, the Canadians remain something of a hidden gem – their peer group is valued significantly higher. That includes DroneShield. The Australians are now valued at more than AUD 2 billion. Admittedly, their pipeline is also impressive. In addition to the drone revolution, a lot of money continues to flow into tanks and other armored vehicles. The German Armed Forces alone plans to procure thousands of new vehicles. RENK wants a large slice of the billion-dollar pie and is investing EUR 500 million. Does this mean the consolidation is now over?

Unparalleled expertise in tungsten: Why Almonty Industries is in pole position
For around ten years, Almonty Industries has been synonymous with tungsten sourced from geopolitically stable regions. In just a few weeks, the massive Sangdong mine in South Korea will go into production, making the world significantly less dependent on tungsten from China. The market is rewarding this – Almonty's share price is now approximately 300% higher than it was six months ago. But outstanding mining projects, good timing, and even a bit of luck are not enough to explain Almonty's unique market position: the Company has a wealth of experience and know-how that is unmatched - and in the case of tungsten, which is considered challenging to mine and process, this will continue to make the difference for many years to come.

Why Almonty Industries could become the BioNTech of critical metals
Between 2019 and 2021, investors in BioNTech witnessed a prime example of how a strategically relevant product – in this case, the COVID-19 vaccine – became a real stock market rocket thanks to government pressure, political support, and high public expectations. During this period, the share price rose from less than EUR 12.00 to over EUR 397.00. Those who invested early and were patient were able to achieve returns of over 3,200%. The decisive driver was not only technological innovation but also the government's determination to have the population vaccinated multiple times, which secured massive revenues for BioNTech. Today, a strikingly similar scenario is emerging with Almonty Industries (WKN: A1JSSD | ISIN: CA0203981034 | Ticker symbol: ALI) – only this time it is not about vaccines, but about the strategic raw material tungsten, which is indispensable for defense, aerospace, electronics, and mechanical engineering.

Innovation meets prevention: The next generation of security technologies from Volatus Aerospace
The world is in turmoil! Geopolitical conflicts, tensions between power blocs, and growing security requirements are straining public budgets and presenting governments and authorities worldwide with complex challenges. With the increasing use of digital solutions, human error must be minimized and excessive working hours reduced. This requires sophisticated technology to protect highly sensitive infrastructure such as energy, transportation, defense, and communications. As a rule, this infrastructure must be efficiently monitored and maintained for maintenance and liability reasons. In the digital age, every security-related decision is based on a foundation of data: high-resolution, up-to-date, and reliable. The regular collection and intelligent analysis of this data is essential for public institutions as well as for military applications. Volatus Aerospace (TSX-V: FLT; WKN: A2JEQU; ISIN: CA92865M1023) has its finger on the pulse!

Buy cleantech stock dynaCERT, or go with Steyr Motors, Deutz - or perhaps Rheinmetall and Nel?
Rheinmetall is the clear leader in the defense sector. However, its stock has already performed very well. It is worth taking a look at second-tier candidates such as Steyr Motors and Deutz. The former has just strengthened its sales in the US. Analysts believe Deutz shares could break through the EUR 10 mark. And in the hydrogen sector? Old favorites Nel ASA and Plug Power are fighting for survival. Analysts see potential for growth at dynaCERT. The hydrogen-based retrofit kit for heavy-duty diesel engines saves customers money and allows them to sell emission certificates. With new German management, sales efforts in Europe are currently being ramped up. Revenues could nearly double within a year. And the stock?
