Fear and panic spread across the stock market in March. Even giants began to waver. But after a brief, albeit sharp, correction, the shares of the world's leading online retailer, Amazon, the commodities rebel Almonty, and the environmental pioneer Veolia are once again on the rise. A rollercoaster ride that may test your nerves, but teaches us once again: those declared dead live longer—and quality stocks often fall only to gather momentum for the next push toward their former highs.

Drones and Defense: How Volatus Aerospace Is Positioning with AI and NATO contracts - Is CAD 1.00 Within Reach?

The global security environment is prompting governments to reassess their defense strategies, with increasing emphasis on scalable and technology-driven solutions. In this context, Volatus Aerospace is positioning itself as a provider of integrated drone and aviation services that go beyond pure hardware. The company is passionate about modern technology and knows exactly what contemporary defense must look like. And for this, the right platform is more important today than ever. The significance of Volatus's work is underscored by a recently announced NATO-related contract with a total value of approximately CAD 2.1 million. At the same time, the stock is beginning to attract renewed attention. Momentum is building, which could drive the price to CAD 0.90 or even higher toward CAD 1. In a market where drones are playing an increasingly important role in both defense and civilian applications, Volatus is positioning itself across multiple use cases.

Autonomous systems are no longer just conquering the military—they are becoming the driving force behind an entire economic transformation. From self-flying drones to intelligent ground robots: artificial intelligence, falling sensor costs, and new propulsion systems are catapulting unmanned technologies out of the niche and into the mass market. Investors are facing a structural growth trend comparable to that of electric mobility or the internet. Those who identify the right players now could benefit disproportionately from the next wave of innovation. Three companies from different sectors are already addressing this field with concrete products: Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Volkswagen.

The Antimony Crisis: Antimony Resources at the Heart of Western Supply Security – How Lockheed Martin and Rio Tinto Are Responding

Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.

Shiny, silvery antimony has become a central element of the Western security architecture. China's export restrictions, which culminated in a targeted export ban on the US in 2024, forced Western supply chains to realign. Securing domestic supplies has thus become imperative, overshadowing short-term cost considerations. While defense giants like Lockheed Martin are desperately searching for reliable sources to maintain production of modern defense systems and mining companies like Rio Tinto are investing in processing capacity, specialized antimony companies are coming into focus. Antimony Resources is advancing the development of the Bald Hill project in New Brunswick, which is considered one of the most significant future antimony sources in North America. The company offers investors direct access to a market where small companies are becoming indispensable partners to industry, presenting significant opportunities for investors.

Top News! Hydrogen Breakthroughs and Drone Defense: Are Plug Power, DroneShield, and First Hydrogen Finally Taking Off?

  • Hydrogen

  • Drones
  • Fuelcells
  • Defense

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

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • Defense
  • hightech
  • geopolitics

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

  • Defense
  • hightech
  • geopolitics

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

  • Drones
  • Defense
  • aerospace
  • geopolitics

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.
