Energy Power Shift: US on the Rise, EU Under Pressure – A Look at Standard Uranium, E.ON, ITM, and Plug Power
The next wave of the AI revolution will be decided not by algorithms, but by megawatts. The US energy agency, the IEA, projects that data center electricity consumption will rise to just under 1,000 TWh by 2030. An analysis by Goldman Sachs goes even further, forecasting that electricity demand driven by AI workloads could rise by up to 160% over the same period. This brings an often-underestimated question to the forefront of the capital markets: Who will supply the energy for the digital age? Utilities like E.ON and hydrogen specialists such as ITM Power and Plug Power are small cogs in a large machine room. Countries like China, the US, and the dynamic EU member Poland have recognized the challenges and are mobilizing for their next phase of nuclear expansion. The race for electricity is on, and it will determine who will be among the big winners in the AI era. Globally, uranium production remains concentrated in just a few regions. This makes the market vulnerable to supply disruptions, permitting risks, and geopolitical disruptions. Standard Uranium demonstrates what consistent exploration can look like at a time when demand for uranium to fuel new power plant capacity is rising. It is worth taking a closer look.

The Energy Sector Boom Is Boosting Critical Metals: Siemens Energy, Nel ASA, Globex Mining, and Nordex in the Spotlight
The world is changing rapidly! The escalating crisis in the Middle East highlights the acute vulnerability of global commodity supply chains and is forcing Western industrialized nations to undergo a radical geopolitical realignment. To free themselves from dependence on unstable regions and autocratic monopolies, the US and Canada are investing heavily in the accelerated development of self-sufficient North American supply chains for critical minerals and precious metals. This development is receiving an additional regulatory boost from the protectionist economic policies of a second Trump administration—under the slogan "Drill, Baby, Drill"—and is creating a boom for resource-rich areas of North America, such as the Abitibi Belt in Québec. In this highly volatile market environment, Globex Mining, a licensing specialist that consistently operates behind the scenes, is emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries of recent times. While partner companies finance the capital-intensive drilling operations, the company risk-free acquires valuable smelting licenses and positions itself perfectly for the energy transition that will shape the future. For investors, the North American renaissance in resource extraction offers multiple opportunities. In contrast, after an extended rally, established energy companies appear to be taking a breather. A critical look is warranted.

IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS AT EQUINOR, NERVOUSNESS AT MUNICH RE, A SENSE OF OPTIMISM AT ZEFIRO METHANE
Hardly any other greenhouse gas warms the atmosphere as quickly as methane. That is why a new, still-emerging market for climate credits is developing around the elimination of methane leaks. Investors can profit even in this early phase. Shares of three companies in particular are well-suited for this. Canadian remediation specialist Zefiro Methane provides the service, the long-established German conglomerate Munich Re insures the associated risks, and the Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor represents the buyer side. While Equinor is benefiting from high oil and gas prices and reporting stellar quarterly results, nervousness is spreading at Munich Re because the executive board intends to review the annual forecast once again. At Zefiro Methane, on the other hand, there is a genuine sense of optimism, driven by a fully loaded order book.

Cameco Had to Buy Uranium on the Open Market – NexGen Opts Out of Offtake Agreements – Standard Uranium Receives a "Gift"
Now Saudi Arabia has entered the picture as well. The recent nuclear deal with the US underscores that nuclear power is on the rise. The reason is clear: AI data centers require climate-neutral baseload power. However, nuclear reactors need uranium fuel—and uranium is anything but abundant. At the same time, Western sanctions against Russian uranium are further tightening an already constrained global supply. Amid this supply gap, a remote region in northern Canada is increasingly attracting investor attention. The Athabasca Basin is home to the world's largest uranium deposits. While established industry leaders and advanced developers already command multi-billion-dollar valuations, investors are searching for the next discovered success stories in the world's premier uranium district. We take a closer look at the investment landscape in the Athabasca Basin.

Energy Stocks Ride the AI Boom! Price Targets Rise! SMA Solar, Bloom Energy and RE Royalties in Focus
Bloom Energy is not a stock for the faint of heart. Analysts believe the recent correction may have run its course and have raised their price targets accordingly. Analysts are also becoming increasingly optimistic about SMA Solar. The inverter specialist is winning over investors with its battery storage solutions, and management raised its full-year guidance following strong second-quarter results. RE Royalties is another beneficiary of the AI boom in the US. With its innovative business model, the company remains on a strong growth trajectory. The dividend yield exceeds 10%. However, management is dissatisfied with the stock's performance. Is the long-awaited catch-up rally about to begin?

North America is betting on nuclear power! Who stands to benefit? Siemens Energy, Cameco, Constellation Energy, and American Atomics
North America is fully committed to nuclear power. In Canada, a flagship project featuring four small modular reactors (SMRs) is set to supply electricity to 1.2 million households. In addition, large nuclear power plants are also planned. The government is supporting this expansion—just as it is in the US. There, nuclear power capacity is set to quadruple by 2050, rising from the current level of around 100 GW to 400 GW. This presents investment opportunities for investors across the entire value chain, starting with uranium. New mining areas are urgently needed. In addition to Cameco as a core investment, American Atomics is an interesting option. The company is working to establish an integrated value chain. The latest developments in its flagship project are promising. But Siemens Energy also plans to capitalize on the boom. Although the German conglomerate does not supply reactors, it does provide steam turbines, generators, and other equipment for nuclear power plants.

From AI Boom to Copper Boom! Siemens Energy Above EUR 200, Oracle Set to Double? Is Power Metallic Mines Ready to Break Out?
Current figures are rarely decisive on the stock market. The market looks to the future, comparing company announcements or quarterly data against expectations. This drives price movements. Figures from competitors also allow for conclusions to be drawn, but not without limitations. Siemens Energy has recently come under pressure because its competitor, GE Vernova, provided an outlook that fell short of expectations. AI is not always a surefire driver of share price performance. Oracle illustrates this point. Although the numbers are solid, the high level of investment is alarming market participants. They perceive rising risks, which led to a massive share price correction. Analysts now believe the stock could double in value. According to experts, there is even more upside potential at Power Metallic Mines. The Canadian company owns one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America. The release of the first resource estimate is expected soon. This could boost the share price. Analysts see nearly 200% upside potential here. How should forward-looking investors position themselves now?

Drones, Energy Storage and Power: Opportunities in SanDisk, Volatus Aerospace and 2G Energy
Markets remain extremely volatile. Two developments are currently dominating investor sentiment. The first is the sharp volatility in AI-related stocks, illustrated by South Korea's KOSPI index, which has recently been swinging by 5% to 8% on an almost daily basis. The second is the conflict in the Persian Gulf, with oil prices continuing to drive both bond and equity markets. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, while access to the Red Sea has become increasingly difficult. These disruptions are influencing prices across asset classes, from crude oil to government bonds. In periods like these, investors should keep a cool head and focus on the themes we have highlighted for months. For the administration in Washington, few priorities are more important than supporting the US stock market. At the same time, it is keen to keep US Treasury yields under control, as higher borrowing costs would make refinancing the country's enormous national debt, now approaching USD 40 trillion, significantly more difficult. Against this backdrop, investors should continue to weigh both the risks and the opportunities in the market. Today, we take a closer look at SanDisk, Volatus Aerospace and 2G Energy.
