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?

Dividend comeback: Why Mercedes-Benz and VW look outdated compared to RE Royalties' model
In a market phase in which interest rates have peaked, and tech stocks are ambitiously valued, investors are once again turning their attention to the oldest source of income in stock market history: dividends. But the hunt for the highest returns often turns out to be a dangerous undertaking, because a high percentage payout is usually not a sign of strength, but a warning signal for falling prices or structural problems. While German automotive giants Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen attract investors with seemingly favorable valuations and generous returns, their business model is facing the most expensive transformation in history. In this environment, RE Royalties, a Canadian niche stock, is coming into focus. Its business model is specifically designed to generate stable cash flows from the megatrend of the energy transition without bearing the operational risks of an industrial group.

BUY RECOMMENDATIONS and INSIDER SALES: D-Wave, Siemens Energy, Graphano Energy
Insider alert at D-Wave Quantum. The CFO and directors have cashed in nicely, putting a temporary damper on the stock's rally. A new "Buy" recommendation has so far failed to give the stock any new momentum. Graphite is often overshadowed by lithium and other critical metals in the public perception. However, demand is expected to increase significantly in the coming years due to the growing market for batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage. Graphano Energy is benefiting from production in Canada, and investors can get in early. Those who got in early with Siemens Energy are enjoying a tenfold increase. And if analysts are to be believed, the rally is not over yet. According to them, the stock is still cheap.

Electric mobility is booming, lithium prices are rising again – An assessment of BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Volkswagen
The era of the combustion engine is coming to an end. A new ecosystem of technology, raw materials, and manufacturing power is emerging, presenting extraordinary opportunities for early investors. The race toward electrification is in full swing, driven by exploding registration numbers and a rapidly expanding charging infrastructure. But the real leverage lies deeper. Access to critical metals, which are the lifeblood of every battery, is indispensable. As supply chains reorganize, three very different companies are positioning themselves: the emerging giant BYD, the raw materials explorer Power Metallic Mines, and the traditional heavyweight Volkswagen.

Comeback for Volkswagen, BMW & Co.? European Lithium shares benefit from 2 megatrends!
What a comeback for German automakers in the field of electric mobility! The Volkswagen Group accounts for 4 of the top 5 best-selling vehicles in Europe. BMW impresses in tests with its new iX3, which heralds a "new class" for the Munich-based company. The former market leader, Tesla, no longer plays a significant role, partly due to Elon Musk. The current challenger in Europe is now BYD, although the Chinese stock's chart remains far from convincing. In contrast, European Lithium's stock has exploded by almost 400% in the current year. Rare earths and lithium for Europe are driving the price.
