Focus on Copper and PGMs: Rio Tinto, Sibanye-Stillwater, and the Opportunity at Power Metallic Mines
Securing supplies of copper and platinum group metals (PGMs) is becoming increasingly important, as these elements are essential for both energy infrastructure and the hydrogen economy. Analyses by S&P Global and McKinsey forecast a rise in copper demand to 42 million metric tons by 2040, representing a 50% increase compared to 2025. At the same time, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that demand for hydrogen already reached approximately 100 million metric tons in 2024, driving the need for platinum and palladium in electrolysers. While major corporations like Rio Tinto are securing their market leadership by investing in massive copper projects to meet the industry's long-term needs, PGM specialist Sibanye-Stillwater is increasingly focusing on diversifying its portfolio toward polymetallic deposits in stable jurisdictions. It is in this environment that Power Metallic Mines operates its Nisk project in the Canadian province of Québec. Recent discoveries in the Lion Zone have confirmed exceptional copper grades exceeding 10% as well as significant PGM by-products. This quality in a world-class mining region makes the company attractive—both to investors speculating on strategic consolidations and to major corporations seeking world-class resources.

Oil Prices Be Damned: SpaceX IPO in Focus - Alphabet, First Hydrogen, and Oklo in the spotlight
The time has come! Last week, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX had filed an application for a stock offering with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite all the headwinds facing the capital markets, Elon Musk is convinced that he will raise up to USD 75 billion with the initial public offering of the space technology startup. Only just under 5% of all shares are expected to be freely tradable. This is already causing major ETF providers to break out in a cold sweat, as they must somehow replicate the new market heavyweight - with an initial valuation of nearly USD 2 trillion - as a "MAG 8" stock. The target date for the stock offering is June. It remains to be seen whether the current market climate can even handle such a massive offering. It is unlikely to be a surefire success. Alphabet has already positioned itself with a stake acquired in 2015. We calculate what that might mean this summer and present some other good ideas.

Power Metallic Mines: World-Class Asset at a Bargain Price – Revaluation Underway
The Iran conflict is currently dominating the stock markets. What lies ahead, and how hard will the energy shock hit the global economy? What remains certain is just how fragile commodity supplies and supply chains are. Western governments are pushing to regionalize critical supply chains and thereby reduce dependence on politically unstable regions. Copper and platinum group metals are high on the industrial policy agenda, as they play a significant role in electrification, the hydrogen economy, digitalization, and high-tech. This is exactly where Power Metallic Mines comes into play. The Canadian company owns a large, high-quality polymetallic project in Canada with the potential to become a major, long-term supply source for Western industries. Analysts expect the stock to rise by nearly 200% over the next 12 months!

Iran War: Threat for Siemens Energy, Opportunity for Pure One & Plug Power?
The war in the Middle East is driving up energy prices worldwide. Even in the energy self-sufficient US, consumers are feeling rising costs at the gas station, which is accelerating the shift toward renewable energy. Are AI companies possibly rethinking their strategy of relying on gas-fired power plants? Siemens Energy shareholders should keep an eye on this. One potential beneficiary could be Pure One. The small-cap stock combines a diversified cleantech portfolio with a majority stake in Eastern Gas, a promising gas explorer in Australia. Its customers include the German company Heidelberg Materials. Meanwhile, Plug Power is approaching a key resistance level. Is the latest major order enough to break through it? Additionally, the company appears to have discovered retail investors.

Oil Price Shock as an Opportunity: 100% Potential with Nel ASA, A.H.T. Syngas, and Plug Power
Daily updates continue to emerge on efforts to rein in Iran. President Donald Trump claims to have already achieved all war objectives. Yet, the Iranians appear surprisingly self-confident for a nation portrayed as defeated, pushing back against the media narrative surrounding their willingness to negotiate. Meanwhile, the German government has introduced a new fuel pricing law. Since April 1, a package of measures aimed at curbing price increases has come into effect. In the future, price increases will only be permitted once per day at 12:00 noon, while price reductions remain possible at any time. The law was drafted based on common practice in Austria and is intended to provide greater transparency and stability. However, the initial effect was mixed: although the Brent spot price fell by 7% at midday and the euro weakened against the US dollar, fuel prices did not decline accordingly.

Hydrogen as the Fuel of the Future: Linde Lays the Groundwork, Amazon Tests, and First Hydrogen Delivers the Solution
Is hydrogen on the verge of a breakthrough in logistics? Rising costs for fossil fuels are colliding with regulatory pressure and technological maturity. While battery-electric vehicles are already established in light urban delivery traffic, heavy payloads are also expected to be transported as CO2-neutrally as possible in the future. This is where pure battery technology reaches its limits in heavy, long-haul transport and intensive industrial logistics. Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important in this context, as it enables significantly longer ranges and shorter refueling times for intensive delivery operations compared to pure battery vehicles. While corporations like Linde are planning the necessary refueling infrastructure and hydrogen supply on a large scale, major fleet operators such as Amazon are increasingly exploring the use of fuel cells. In this market environment, First Hydrogen is positioning itself as a one-stop provider. With its light commercial vehicles, specifically developed for the demands of distribution transport and capable of ranges exceeding 600 km, as well as offerings centered on green hydrogen production, the company is striking a chord.

Resilience in Logistics: Daimler Truck and Nel Explore a Hydrogen Future – dynaCERT Bridges the Gap
The logistics sector faces major challenges that highlight just how dependent it is on fossil fuels. An escalating conflict in the Middle East and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have shaken energy markets and led to rising prices for petroleum products and their derivatives. Particularly alarming is the price surge for diesel, the primary fuel for global heavy-duty transport. According to current market data, diesel prices on the London Stock Exchange have jumped by about 27 cents per liter since the end of February 2026. The economic consequences are enormous: simulations by the German Economic Institute show that a sustained oil price of USD 100 per barrel could result in real economic damage of about EUR 40 billion over two years. In this context, hydrogen is no longer seen merely as a tool for greater sustainability but as a prerequisite for resilience in energy matters. In this transformation process, the business models of Daimler Truck, Nel ASA, and dynaCERT complement one another. We analyze the solutions, which range from far-reaching visions for the future of mobility to immediate efficiency gains in heavy-duty engines.

Takeovers, Drone Potential, Full Pipeline: Rheinmetall, DroneShield, and First Hydrogen in Focus
Drones and other unmanned systems are making massive inroads into everyday military and civilian life. First Hydrogen aims to secure a slice of this billion-dollar pie in the future. To that end, the company has secured the technology for AI-powered robotic ground drones. If the new business division is successfully established, the current valuation may not yet reflect this potential. DroneShield is certainly not cheap. Yet in the latest investor presentation, a fully loaded sales pipeline drew attention. If this is realized, the pipeline points to multi-billion-dollar revenue potential. Rheinmetall currently generates billions primarily from battle tanks, ammunition, and other systems of classic "old-school" warfare. But the Düsseldorf-based company has also recognized this trend and has acquired a majority stake in a specialist for autonomous systems.
