Drones, Energy Crisis and NASDAQ! DroneShield, HPQ Silicon, Siemens Energy and Nordex in Focus
All quiet on the western front! Whether it is war, bankruptcies, or new tariffs, the party goes on! The drone sector, booming thanks to increased defence spending, stands in stark contrast to the simmering EU energy crisis, which continues to pose major challenges for Brussels. Counter-drone specialist DroneShield is experiencing a massive surge in demand and orders in the field of electronic warfare, yet its share price is falling significantly. Canadian company HPQ Silicon is also benefiting from the West's need to independently establish critical supply chains for high-purity silicon and innovative battery materials. Siemens Energy also sits at the epicentre of the infrastructure transition, with its historically full order books serving as an unshakable engine of growth amid the energy crunch. This sustained rebound is flanked by Hamburg-based wind power pioneer Nordex, which is reporting double-digit margin improvements. This compelling combination of high-tech defence, clean energy generation, and raw material sovereignty is attracting substantial capital directly into investors' coffers. We take a closer look at four future-oriented sector favourites.

Plug Power Shows Light and Shadow! Siemens Energy Back Above EUR 200? Drone Potential at HPQ Silicon!
The US is under increasing pressure when it comes to military drones. China and Iran are ruthlessly exposing the US's need to catch up. Washington is pushing to build its own supply chains. HPQ Silicon could benefit from this. Several potential customers in the drone and defence sectors are already testing the company's advanced battery technology. The stock hasn't yet drawn much attention. Siemens Energy is a long-term performer in the AI boom. The company once again delivered strong results last quarter. Analysts believe the stock could break through the EUR 200 mark. There are also positive signs in Plug Power's quarterly report. But the big question remains: how will liquidity be secured until the company turns a profit?

The Ups and Downs of Hydrogen: Nel ASA and thyssenkrupp nucera Under Pressure, Can dynaCERT Break Through?
The idea that industry and logistics could become completely climate-neutral sectors within just a few years has always been unrealistic. Different conditions among companies and markets make such a textbook transformation unlikely. The reality in Europe shows that many of the industry’s ambitious plans are stalling. Investors are holding back, permits can take time, and in some regions the necessary hydrogen infrastructure is still lacking. However, there are practical interim solutions, for example in the mobility sector. We provide insights and highlight, in particular, a promising development in Southeast Asia.

Hydrogen Stocks in 2026: Nel ASA, dynaCERT, and Plug Power—Three Strategies, but Who Will Win the Race to Profitability?
The hype surrounding hydrogen is over. Now, the only things that matter are operating metrics, margins, and the potential for scaling. The capital markets are increasingly focusing on cash flow and efficiency. Industry pioneers have long fallen short of expectations, but a turnaround is now emerging for some hydrogen companies. Today, we take a look at three companies—Nel ASA, dynaCERT, and Plug Power—each pursuing very different strategies, and assess where they currently stand.

Albemarle, HPQ Silicon, Fluence Energy: Battery Boom Poised for the Next Price Surge
The battery market is entering an exciting phase. While the lithium sector is making a surprisingly strong comeback after a long slump, new battery technologies are reaching key milestones on the path to commercialization. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that even booming future markets are not immune to short-term setbacks. Amid record demand, billions in investments, and operational challenges, opportunities are now emerging that many investors may still be underestimating.

Turnaround, Billion-Dollar Deals, AI and Drone Potential: What Is Driving Siemens Energy, TKMS, and First Hydrogen?
Global markets are constantly evolving, and recently the major stock indices, including the Dow, Nasdaq, and DAX, have generally been trending higher. Today, we take a closer look at three companies that share an interesting characteristic: all three may be approaching a key milestone or threshold that could prove decisive for their performance over the coming weeks and months. We begin with Europe's energy giants and defence contractors. We examine the return to profitability, as well as failed takeover attempts and new strategic alliances. Finally, we turn our attention to a North American player that aims to combine green energy with artificial intelligence and robotics in an entirely new way. Join us as we explore Siemens Energy, TKMS, and First Hydrogen. These three stocks could provide plenty of talking points in the weeks and months ahead. Read on to discover the key developments and opportunities.

Hedge Funds Bet on Hydrogen: Nel ASA Under Pressure, Amazon Gains Momentum, and First Hydrogen Targets a Promising Niche
Industry is under increasing pressure to address climate change. The regulatory framework is already in place, and emissions targets have been clearly defined. Yet even large industrial groups are reaching the limits of what they can achieve during the energy transition. Siemens Energy, for example, is reportedly considering spinning off a majority stake in its Transformation of Industry division under the project name "Voyager". The business includes, among other things, compressors, steam turbines, energy storage systems, and electrolysers. The move highlights the growing pressure on industrial companies to sharpen their strategic focus. In the global race to capture market share in energy transition technologies, success increasingly depends on lean organizational structures, specialization, and the willingness to rethink traditional business models. The restructuring of the hydrogen and energy sectors has long since begun; we examine the market and highlight potential beneficiaries.

Battery Revolution: CATL Pulls Further Ahead, SGL Carbon Bows Out, and HPQ Silicon Targets Promising Niches
Faster and, above all, with greater range—whether in electric vehicles or smartphones: performance and endurance are key factors in winning over customers. But the race for the best specs is becoming increasingly fierce, and many details of battery technology play a crucial role. The potential of graphite as an anode material appears to have been exhausted; instead, silicon is gaining ground. We shed light on current trends in battery technology and introduce the companies involved.

Endless NASDAQ Rally – AI Drives Demand for Electric Power and Hydrogen: Nel ASA, dynaCERT, BYD, and ITM Power
While the relentless tech rally on the NASDAQ races from one historic all-time high to the next thanks to the insatiable AI boom, investors are increasingly focusing on the industry's fundamental Achilles' heel: the enormous electricity demand of AI data centers. As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in business operations, it not only requires vast amounts of electricity but is also automating routine tasks that were once performed by human workers. This rapid adoption is driving an unprecedented need for reliable power generation. The question is no longer whether additional energy will be needed, but where it will come from. Investors looking toward the future are increasingly seeking the most compelling ESG investment opportunities at the intersection of high-tech innovation and energy production. In addition to expanding nuclear energy, many cleantech solutions are being explored. The e-mobility giant BYD recognized this challenge years ago; today, it dominates the roads worldwide with groundbreaking battery technologies. Complementing the electrification trend is the growing hydrogen economy, where Nel ASA and ITM Power continue to play important roles. At the same time, dynaCERT is rapidly advancing toward broader commercial adoption through an ambitious expansion strategy in Asia, leveraging its emissions-reduction technology. Where are the key catalysts for investors?
