Beneath the Surface: Why the Market Is Overlooking the True Value of Nike, Desert Gold and Vonovia
With an iceberg, only the tip protrudes from the water; the vast majority remains hidden. The situation is similar right now with Nike, Desert Gold Ventures and Vonovia - their true value lies beneath the surface. Analysts estimate their fair value to be two to seven times their current stock prices. But how long will it take for the stock market to discover these hidden values? For Nike, the future outfitter of the German national soccer team, the moment of truth arrives today—even as the Nations League match between Germany and Serbia is underway in Munich. For Desert Gold, the upcoming start of production is likely to provide the impetus, while Vonovia must brace itself for a waiting game following the election results in Berlin.

Micron, Kobo Resources, MP Materials: Stocks with Upcoming Catalysts in AI, Gold and Rare Earths
The stock market trades on expectations. Between now and the end of the year, three companies across different market segments have upcoming milestones that could reset expectations. Artificial intelligence has significantly fueled demand for memory chips. The quarterly results on September 30 will show how much of that demand is here to stay. A gold explorer is set to release its first mineral resource estimate, revealing how much of the precious metal lies underground. As of January 1, the Pentagon's procurement rules for magnets will become stricter, which could benefit manufacturers with supply chains outside China. We are therefore taking a closer look at Micron Technology, Kobo Resources and MP Materials.

Smartbroker Holding, Aspermont, Goldgroup – Data Is the New Gold
Information is becoming increasingly valuable in the capital markets. Investors must filter out the key signals from a flood of share prices, corporate announcements and geopolitical developments. At the same time, artificial intelligence is transforming the way information is processed and monetized. This is particularly evident in the commodities sector. Billions are flowing into gold, critical metals and new mining projects. Anyone who can reach investors, access exclusive data, or mobilize capital for attractive projects sits at a crucial intersection of this boom.

West Africa's Gold Rush: How Desert Gold Is Forging Its Own Path Alongside Barrick Mining and B2Gold in Mali
The price of gold keeps hitting new record highs, yet a state of emergency continues to prevail in key mining regions such as West Africa. While the precious metal promises high margins on the global market, established mining companies in Mali increasingly face government crackdowns. Although these developments are not halting day-to-day operations, they do require strong negotiating skills from the major producers. It is precisely in this operational environment that agile Africa experts are positioning themselves with smart strategies. We shine a spotlight on Barrick, B2Gold and Desert Gold.

Newmont, DRC Gold and Agnico Eagle – China's Gold Imports Already Exceed Last Year's Total
China imported more than 1,000 metric tons of gold from January through August. That is more than in all of 2025, according to the latest Chinese customs data. The central bank in Beijing has also been increasing its gold reserves for 22 consecutive months. Demand from the Far East is particularly beneficial for the major producers. Explorers are looking for tomorrow's supplies in the northeast of the DRC, for example, where Kibali, one of Africa's largest gold mines, operates. Companies that want to grow need their own projects in the pipeline. Today, we are looking at three gold companies: Newmont, DRC Gold and Agnico Eagle.

A Sensational Development in the M&A Carousel: Rheinmetall, BASF and Lahontan Gold
A sensational development is looming in the German chemical industry. BASF is considering acquiring speciality chemicals company Evonik. The Ludwigshafen-based company would thereby significantly expand its speciality chemicals business. Evonik has reacted cautiously. Analysts have responded positively. But some question marks remain. A small but strategically interesting acquisition is in the works in the gold sector. Lahontan Gold plans to acquire Emergent Metals outright, expanding its position in Nevada's Walker Lane gold district. Is this a move to prepare for a US IPO? Most recently, Lahontan increased its resource estimate and reaffirmed its goal of building a mine next year. And what about Rheinmetall? Its stock has fallen below EUR 1,000 again. The company is working to address its "dependence on the Bundeswehr" and its "old and heavy military equipment."

Nevada Reshuffles: Barrick, Newmont and SSR Mining Pursue New Projects – Phenom Resources in the Middle of It
Gold is more relevant than ever. Persistent geopolitical risks and inflation concerns are driving investors increasingly toward the traditional safe haven. After a record high above USD 5,500 in January, the price of an ounce of gold traded around USD 4,150 at the end of September despite the recent correction, still firmly at historically elevated levels. For established producers in the US state of Nevada, this price environment is generating substantial cash flows, while operating costs for ongoing mining operations are also rising. This is forcing major mining companies to rethink their strategies and is creating new opportunities for agile exploration companies operating in the same region.

Vonovia Under Pressure from Expropriation? Lahontan Gold and Coinbase as Inflation Opportunities for Investors
Rising inflation typically drives up demand for real estate, but this sector is currently facing political pressure. In Berlin, the Left Party wants to expropriate large private housing portfolios. Approximately 240,000 apartments would be affected. Nothing has been decided yet, but the debate is weighing on the market. For Vonovia, it is becoming clear what makes "concrete gold" vulnerable: regulation, compensation disputes, interest burdens and rent debates. Those who want to protect their wealth are looking for alternatives. Gold is often seen as a hedge against crisis. As an up-and-coming gold producer, Lahontan Gold could benefit from the high price of gold. Coinbase, meanwhile, offers access to the growing crypto trading market without actually owning Bitcoin. Three bets, three opportunities—we take a closer look.
