Top tips for 2026 – Critical metals and armaments! DroneShield, Pasinex, RENK, and Heidelberger Druck in focus
In 2025, there was a pronounced rally in critical metals starting in the summer. This was largely triggered by China, which imposed export restrictions on rare metals and strategic raw materials in response to arbitrary tariff demands from the White House. The metal markets reacted with strong upward movements, and the procurement centers of Western industry reacted even more severely. In view of the needs of the near future, a large number of properties would have to be brought into production in the areas of copper, graphite, lithium, uranium, zinc, and rare earths. However, it takes around 10 years to set up a mine, including all permits and preliminary investigations. Because this is far too long for the current needs, the market is looking at projects that are about to start production or are already producing. We offer a few ideas from the supply chain and potential customers.

Will 2026 start with another surge? We evaluate BYD, NEO Battery Materials, and DroneShield
In December, many market participants start thinking about the next investment period – in this case, the year 2026. The 2025 investment year was one of the best periods of the past 20 years for both the DAX and the NASDAQ, with gains of 18.7% and 20.8%, respectively. Even the Trump tariff crash in April was offset entirely within just two weeks. The drivers of the upswing remain the US administration's policy, which is perceived as "supportive," as well as ongoing geopolitical conflicts and still tolerable interest rates between 2.7% (Bund) and 4.0% (USD Treasury) in the ten-year range. For the coming year, some experts expect another wave of inflation, high commodity prices, and rising energy costs. These are all factors that could once again stifle the economic upturn and bring additional volatility to the markets. And let's not forget: AI and defense seem to be at their peak — so who will lead the next revaluation of the stock markets?

Drone defense and nearly 10% fixed interest! DroneShield, Hensoldt, Bitcoin Group, Nakiki
Is Germany now getting serious about drone defense? A new drone defense center was opened in Berlin yesterday, aiming to provide a nationwide overview of the situation and a coordinated response to drone incidents. DroneShield and Hensoldt are among the beneficiaries on the stock market when it comes to drones and their defense. Will the shares now receive new momentum? Bitcoin is not currently experiencing any momentum. However, this is actually a desirable scenario for Nakiki SE. The Company plans to buy Bitcoin in the coming months and become Germany's first pure play Bitcoin Treasury company. To this end, Nakiki is currently issuing a corporate bond. Investors can secure a fixed interest rate of almost 10% p.a. and diversify their portfolio. The CEO explains why the Bitcoin bond is interesting. In contrast, Bitcoin Group has missed the boat, and now short sellers are also getting involved.

Year-end rally ahead! Selected positioning for 2026 in Almonty, DroneShield, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
Incredible volatility at year-end. No surprise - the past stock market year will go down in history as one of the best for the DAX and NASDAQ. And this despite shrinking economic growth and rising inflation. But seasoned investors already know that inflation boosts stock prices, and what drives them even more is defense spending. War is terrible, but it fills the coffers of financiers - led, as always, by the US. Donald Trump likes to sell himself as a peacemaker to the outside world, yet the US remains the world's largest producer of offensive and defensive technology. Business is booming, NATO is among the biggest customers, and demand runs into the trillions. Whether 2026 will continue in the same vein is doubtful, but conflicts at least continue to enable hyperinflationary money printing. As a result, the gigantic debt flywheel spins ever faster – this is how FIAT money systems have functioned for millennia! Where do opportunities lie for risk-aware investors?

Silver soon at USD 100 – has the defense rally now stalled? Silver North, Rheinmetall, and DroneShield in focus
Unbelievable – who would have thought it? Last week, silver reached the USD 64 per ounce level for the first time, reflecting a pronounced imbalance between supply and demand. In contrast to the bubble surrounding the Hunt brothers, who effectively bought up the silver market to nearly USD 50, today's rally is based on a global structural deficit driven not only by industrial demand but also by geopolitical tensions, rising government debt, and a weak US dollar. Physical silver availability is declining worldwide due to low production levels. At the London Metals Exchange (LME) in particular, inventories have fallen by roughly one third since 2021, while ETFs have reduced the freely available supply by more than 75%. The situation is coming to a head! Where should investors start paying closer attention?

DO NOT PANIC! Almonty, Standard Lithium, and DroneShield
Commodity gem Almonty experienced a significant price setback on Tuesday. But yesterday's recovery shows that there is no reason to panic. The Company is on its way to becoming a tungsten superpower. CEO Lewis Black left no doubt about this during his latest presentation to investors. According to him, the tungsten spot price could rise to USD 1,000 per MTU. Analysts expect significantly less, and Almonty is already achieving strong margins at USD 300. The fact that investors can react very sensitively after massive price gains was demonstrated by DroneShield's stock. But now the recovery rally is underway. Things are also happening at Standard Lithium. The Americans appear to be well on their way to securing billions of USD for the construction of their first lithium mine.

Gold rush 2026: Position yourself quickly! Keep an eye on Barrick, B2Gold, Desert Gold, and DroneShield!
Who would have thought it? Gold and silver are the clear winners among defensive assets in the 2025 investment year. Protection against inflation, geopolitical risks, and fiscal-policy uncertainty has made precious metals shine, which, despite all the doom and gloom from tech stock market traders, were able to generate high double-digit returns of 57% and 82%, respectively. Of course, a 10% drop in the US dollar is weighing on returns in euros, but there is still a nice profit left in the account. Gold and silver mining stocks and, selectively, some explorers performed even better. In today's peer group, we turn our attention to the African continent, where important changes in the regulatory and economic environment could transform local producers into potential cash machines in 2026.

Even in times of peace, these defense stocks have a future: NEO Battery Materials, Hensoldt, DroneShield

However, regardless of the current peace negotiations, it looks as if Europe in particular will have to invest heavily in military capabilities in the coming years.

Take advantage of the panic: Why buy Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and DroneShield now?
A sharp drop in share prices is shaking the defense industry. Triggered by short-term hopes for peace, the markets are ignoring the unchanged robust fundamentals: bulging order books and rising global defense budgets. This discrepancy opens up strategic entry opportunities. Three key companies, artillery and vehicle manufacturer Rheinmetall, critical raw materials supplier Almonty Industries, and drone defense specialist DroneShield, are in focus and stand to benefit from sustained demand.
