Volkswagen in Crisis, Rheinmetall Plummets: Could Volatus Aerospace Be the One to Benefit?
Drones have forever changed the face of modern warfare and are forcing nations around the globe to make drastic adjustments. Driven by the sometimes harsh lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, South Korea is now also planning a radical military reform. In the future, each of the country's 500,000 active-duty soldiers is to be trained as a drone pilot to counter the ever-growing threat from North Korea. Meanwhile, the military escalation in Europe continues to accelerate. As the Ukrainian Navy uses agile combat boats in the Black Sea to intercept Russian drones and protect the vital ports of Odesa, concerns are mounting in Moscow. Fearing Ukrainian counterstrikes, the Kremlin is tightening its defensive perimeter by deploying additional S-400 air defence systems, reportedly even on the grounds of a foundation linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin's daughter. In our latest report, we examine how the rise of unmanned weapon systems is fueling a global arms race and what it could mean for the shares of Volkswagen, Rheinmetall, and Volatus Aerospace.

Diesel Is Dead, Long Live Diesel: What Is Next for Volkswagen, Traton, dynaCERT, and Cummins
Since the diesel scandal a good ten years ago, Volkswagen has been lurching from one crisis to the next. Now, plant closures and massive job cuts loom. Meanwhile, its commercial vehicle subsidiary, Traton, is grappling with the key question: Should its diesel fleet be replaced? An innovative company from Toronto takes the position that nothing needs to be replaced at all: dynaCERT improves the efficiency and emissions of engines that have long been on the road. And Cummins, of all companies, a US giant that builds precisely such engines, provides the unintended proof that the transition away from the internal combustion engine will take a very long time. We take a look at what this means for investors.

For Industry, It Is a Matter of Survival: thyssenkrupp Under Pressure, BYD With Advantages - Can Strategic Resources Provide the Rescue?
Many long-established industrial companies are facing intense pressure: their business models are undergoing structural change, supply chains are being reorganized, and international competition is increasing. European heavy industry, in particular, is at a turning point, as higher energy costs in Europe, especially in Germany, and stricter decarbonization requirements force companies to adapt their production processes. At the same time, Asian technology groups are pushing aggressively into global markets, often with fully vertically integrated structures and clear advantages in the race for raw materials. This is placing immense pressure on traditional European companies to restructure and innovate. We examine the overall situation and highlight potential opportunities for investors.

Battery Boom 3.0: The Future Is 100% Electric! VW, BYD, Stellantis, and HPQ Silicon at the Eye of the Storm
Things are a bit bumpy on the stock market right now. While the high-tech sector is now showing clear signs of slowing down, chip stocks—led by Micron and AMD—are really stepping on the gas again. At the heart of this are massive investments in data centers and new AI infrastructure. This is putting the spotlight on companies whose innovative ideas have the potential to disrupt an entire sector. One example is HPQ Silicon, which addresses several critical areas for future energy and industrial value creation. For VW, BYD, and Stellantis, too, the focus has long since shifted from mere market share to dominance in the global battery race. For the automotive industry, the challenges of the moment could not be greater. After all, they need reliable access to raw materials and strong end markets. Ultimately, however, success is determined by the often fickle consumer. Investors, too, have always been highly selective in their choices. We reveal a few criteria for separating the winners from the rest.

SAP Testing the Waters, BYD On the Offensive, and MustGrow Biologics Raises Fresh Capital - Is a Rebound on the Horizon?
Created and published on behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
The winds across global equity markets have grown noticeably stronger, bringing sharp moves in both directions. Technology and automotive giants that have long been accustomed to success are feeling the full force of this turbulence. Faced with declining share prices and geopolitical uncertainty, investors are increasingly looking beyond the mainstream for fresh opportunities. While companies such as SAP and BYD are fighting to defend their lofty valuations, intriguing second-tier players are quietly positioning themselves for growth. This raises a legitimate question: should investors allocate capital into "fallen angels" such as SAP and BYD, or focus on lesser-known growth stories with potentially greater upside? We examine the current market environment and take a closer look at three very different companies. Discover why software heavyweight SAP and electric vehicle pioneer BYD are facing challenges, and why Canadian agtech company MustGrow Biologics could be approaching a breakout. One thing is certain: the stage is set for an exciting summer in the markets.

Electromobility and the Structural Risk for BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen: Rock Tech Lithium Stock Poised for Revaluation
Electric vehicle sales in Europe continue to rise steadily. In the EU, new registrations of battery-electric passenger vehicles in the first five months of 2026 were up 35.7% compared to the same period last year. The market share of fully electric vehicles increased to 20.0%. In Germany, growth was even stronger at 40.9%, with BEVs reaching a market share of 23.9%. German manufacturers remain among the leaders in producing the most popular models. However, as with all European automakers, a structural risk persists: dependence on China for batteries. Without secure access to lithium and domestic conversion capacity, European automakers cannot fully control their electric-vehicle value chain. China could, at any time, effectively "turn off the tap" for its competitors. And this is where Rock Tech Lithium comes into play. The company has repositioned itself in recent years and aims to cover the value chain all the way down to battery-grade lithium chemicals. The stock could be poised for a spectacular comeback.

Gigawatt Power for AI and Electric Mobility: BMW, BYD, Rock Tech Lithium and Volkswagen in Focus
Current energy market analyses project electricity demand of around 780 TWh for Germany in 2035, representing an increase of approximately 56% compared to 2022. The Fraunhofer Institute estimates electricity demand from electric mobility alone at approximately 260 TWh by 2035. As a rule of thumb: if more than 50% of an upscaled car fleet runs electrically, mobility alone will require roughly an additional 200 to 260 TWh of electricity per year by 2035 — equivalent to around one third of Germany's current total electricity consumption. By comparison, the AI boom represents a different but equally massive load: data centres consumed approximately 415 TWh worldwide in 2024, and according to the IEA, that figure could reach around 945 TWh by 2030. BMW, VW and BYD occupy different positions in the same value chain: they sell vehicles that will increasingly require not only batteries but also a significantly larger and more flexible electricity infrastructure. Lithium remains the key raw material, because every battery — whether LFP, NMC or solid-state — cannot do without the white metal. Accordingly, Europe will need up to 20 times as much lithium by 2035 as it does today, according to industry sources. Rock Tech Lithium intends to make its mark in Canada and Germany and become an important building block in the North Atlantic supply chain. We do the math!

Aurubis, Power Metallic Mines, Vale: Eric Sprott Bets on the Next Copper Winner
The copper market is heading toward a historic supply shortage. While AI data centers, electric mobility, and global grid expansion are driving demand to record levels, there is a lack of new large-scale projects to meet that demand. Experts therefore expect a structural deficit to persist for years to come. This presents an extraordinary opportunity for companies with high-grade deposits in secure mining regions. Whoever controls the right deposits could be among the big winners of the coming commodities cycle.

STELLANTIS, PURE ONE, AND VOLVO: THREE BETS ON THE FUTURE OF ZERO-EMISSION DRIVETRAINS
Electromobility is a divisive issue—both on the stock market and on the road. While Stellantis is supposedly trading at bargain levels following an 80% drop in its share price, investors are paying a hefty valuation premium for Volvo, the Swedish truck market leader. In between them is Pure One, an Australian micro-cap company that is reinventing the capital-intensive heavy-duty commercial vehicle business using the Apple model—and, according to analysts, has the potential to become a tenbagger. Three companies, three risk profiles, one common theme: Who has the lead in the race for zero-emission propulsion? A status report.

From a Canadian Mine to a German EV: Rock Tech Lithium, BASF, and Volkswagen are Reducing Dependence on China
Electric mobility continues to grow unabated, but the fuel of the future is becoming scarce. Demand for lithium is skyrocketing, while prices are once again heading toward record highs after a slump. European industry faces a critical test between dependence on China and the drive for autonomy. It is precisely in this gap that a window of opportunity opens for savvy investors. It is not the raw material alone that promises returns, but the intelligent integration of mining, refining, and production right on our doorstep. A strategic alliance between Canada and Germany could reshape the market. Three companies occupy the key stages of this value chain: Rock Tech Lithium, BASF, and Volkswagen.
