Defense remains number one – another 200% with Heidelberger Druck, Almonty, Hensoldt, and DroneShield?
When the word "defense" is heard on the trading floor, investors' hearts beat faster. This was recently evident in an 80% rally by Heidelberger Druck in just 48 hours. Who would have thought it, given that Germany has benefited from the "peace dividend" for over 25 years and virtually eliminated its defense capabilities. Today, with conflicts and threats lurking around every corner, weapons and defense technology are back in the spotlight. From an economic perspective, it is encouraging that Germany can reestablish an industrial foothold in this field, especially as the automotive sector is facing headwinds. However, a detached view of the context reveals that profits and prosperity for shareholders are now being generated from the construction of machines that are directed against human life. This is a novelty in the German political potpourri, where the sector has been regulated for years, and the left wing tends to have the say. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Drone hype: Who is getting the best deal? Volatus Aerospace, Renault, Rheinmetall
The days of tanks and howitzers are over. The war in Ukraine shows that drones are changing the face of combat—they provide reconnaissance, carry out precision strikes, and score points with low acquisition costs and high effectiveness. It is no wonder that major arms manufacturers and industrial companies want to jump on the drone bandwagon. Renault has even been asked by the French government to enter the business. But the barriers to entry in this market are high. We explain who is likely to profit from the drone business in the future and why size and capital are no guarantee of long-term success.

What is going on here? Watch out for DroneShield, Pure Hydrogen, and Nel ASA
The stock market is currently taking no prisoners. Megatrends such as AI and high-tech have enabled investors to reap substantial returns over the past two years. But for the past three months, defense and armament stocks have been performing a wild dance on the trading floor. With special public programs to upgrade NATO, investors are expecting billions to flow into companies that maintain a defense segment in their business model. But how can a 600% rise in share prices be justified with just 20% more orders? What if DroneShield disappoints in September? The Australian hydrogen specialist Pure Hydrogen is currently expanding into the US, and much remains to be seen here. So where are the opportunities for investors?

Salzgitter AG, Volatus Aerospace, and Rheinmetall with spectacular news
The defense industry continues to shine with strong momentum. Despite some overly ambitious valuations, companies such as Rheinmetall, RENK, and Hensoldt are trading close to their historic highs. And analysts are still outdoing each other with ever higher price targets. Caution is advised with established arms and ammunition manufacturers. In contrast, young companies with innovations from niche markets are growing and have further potential.

Will Trump seize Greenland's resources? 300% opportunity with MP Materials, European Lithium, CRML, Glencore, and DroneShield
US President Donald Trump has recently reaffirmed his long-standing interest in acquiring Greenland. In April, he did not rule out military options and called control over the island an "absolute necessity" for US security. At the same time, negotiations are underway on the possibility of binding Greenland more closely to the US through a special agreement, a so-called Compact of Free Association (COFA), without formal annexation. However, the Danish government and the Greenlandic administration have signaled their clear rejection: Greenland is not "for sale" and its residents have no interest in becoming part of the US. Rising global tensions and the increasing scarcity of strategic raw materials are putting pressure on industry. The first effects are already being felt, particularly in the high-tech and defense sectors. A rush on strategic metals is underway - and investors are taking notice.

Armament stocks make a splash! RENK, DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace - Drones instead of tanks?
A major shake-up in the defense industry! KNDS is set to go public later this year, and the German federal government may participate in the IPO, which would also result in an indirect stake in RENK. KNDS has a stake in the gearbox specialist, and the two companies are jointly building the Leopard 2, among other things. But are tanks still relevant? The war in Ukraine has at least exposed their vulnerability and ushered in the age of drones. Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield are benefiting from this, with their shares having multiplied in recent months. However, more and more orders are now coming in from NATO. Revenue and profits are likely to explode in the coming years.

Breaking news: Volatus Aerospace secures $10 million in financing – analysis and background

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?
