Defense Stocks Consolidate: Sideways Phase or 100% Upside Potential? Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, Power Metallic, and CSG
Investors would have hoped for a different outcome since October 2025. While commodity stocks climbed to historic highs, the market's former favorites in the defense sector saw their first significant wave of profit-taking. Rheinmetall fell from EUR 2,005 to EUR 1,450, Renk dropped from EUR 95 to below EUR 50, and Hensoldt declined from EUR 117 to EUR 65. Although these stocks later recovered some percentage points, new record highs have yet to materialize. The situation was quite different in the critical metals sector - the supply chain companies serving the defense sector. Since autumn, one thing has become increasingly clear: materials are running scarce. This is because the growth of the newly beloved defense industry requires huge quantities of metal. With high-tech components embedded in virtually all modern systems, copper in particular is in high demand, along with rare earths and tungsten. The recent explosion in copper prices to over USD 13,500 speaks volumes. Investors may want to consider reallocating their portfolios, as high metal prices are likely to lead to declining margins in the future, particularly in the defense sector. Here are a few ideas.

DroneShield responds! Globex Mining steals the show from Barrick Mining and MP Materials!
DroneShield has finally responded. A new COO is expected to boost investor confidence and sales. Will that be enough? Globex Mining is currently being discovered by investors. The mining incubator enables risk-reduced investment in the field of resource exploration. In addition to numerous exciting gold projects, successes have also recently been reported in critical raw materials such as antimony and rare earths. The stock has started the new year strongly, outperforming companies like Barrick Mining and MP Materials. The latter stock is currently showing noticeable weakness, while Barrick was unable to trigger a rally with its actually strong figures for 2025. The next ace up its sleeve is an IPO. But its eternal rival, Newmont, is causing problems.

Critical raw materials are becoming scarce! Silver makes a new attempt to reach USD 100 - Silver North, Nordex, and Siemens Energy in focus
January brought the situation surrounding critical metals to a head. Copper, tungsten, and palladium reached new highs, and precious metals were also in high demand. Experts suspect significant distortions in derivatives, which led to astonishing increases in the value of silver and gold. Although silver is systematically classified as a precious metal, it has blossomed into a sought-after industrial metal over the past 10 years. Its extremely good electrical properties, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance make it irreplaceable in high-tech and defense applications. Silver has long been used in the field of alternative energies, with demand exceeding supply by a factor of 1.5. And then there are the speculators, who also want a piece of the pie. This means that all eyes are clearly focused on the sky. What portfolio changes make sense?

Is the dispute between Barrick Mining and Newmont escalating? Gold gem DRC Gold finally gains momentum!
In recent weeks, the safe haven gold has not been for the faint-hearted. But after the correction, the price of the precious metal has worked its way back above the USD 5,000 mark surprisingly quickly. More than just a war of nerves appears to be unfolding between Barrick Mining and Newmont. Barrick plans to list its North American assets on the stock market. This does not sit well with industry leader Newmont. Could it even lead to a hostile takeover? DRC Gold is also fundamentally a takeover candidate. However, the company is currently focused on expanding its own activities. The stock has finally gained momentum, and many factors point to further upside potential for the gold explorer.

"Unprecedented surge in electricity demand": Siemens Energy, Nordex, and hidden gem Stallion Uranium stand to benefit!
Uranium demand is expected to skyrocket in the coming years. A doubling would come as no surprise. At the same time, uranium is expected to come from Western regions, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for the industry. Stallion Uranium is still a hidden gem, but this is likely to change soon. While new nuclear power plants are being planned and old ones restarted in the US, AI data centers are relying on gas-fired power plants. Siemens Energy is currently profiting handsomely from this trend. The company is set to release its quarterly figures today. It is already known that Siemens Energy plans to invest USD 1 billion in the US. Is there a threat of overcapacity? The Nordex share is losing some steam, partly due to cautious analyst commentary. At the same time, the company is starting the new year with a whole series of orders.

Antimony Resources: This stock is impossible to ignore!
The strategic reserve of critical raw materials and rare earths announced by the United States underscores the profound transformation underway in the commodities sector. Geopolitics is becoming a decisive factor in the valuation of raw material assets. States and governments, as a new and, in the future, the most important investor group, are prepared to pay high and strategically motivated prices to secure supply. Antimony Resources is set to benefit massively from this development. The Canadian company owns the largest antimony deposit in North America. Antimony is indispensable, particularly in military and security-critical applications.

Glencore, Aspermont, and Barrick Mining – Golden prospects
Failed mega-deals, strategic divestments, and quiet transformations away from the spotlight: the balance of power is currently shifting in the commodities sector. While one global industry heavyweight has abandoned its consolidation plans and is instead responding to geopolitical realities through targeted portfolio management, another player is working behind the scenes on an entirely new business model. At the same time, after several turbulent weeks, the gold market is once again sending clear signals, supported by surprisingly strong quarterly figures and high cash flow. For investors, this combination creates compelling opportunities spanning revaluation potential, defensive stability, and long-term structural tailwinds.

Rheinmetall, Bayer, Avrupa Minerals: Stocks for Europe's independence in defense, pharmaceuticals, and raw materials!
Europe is working feverishly to achieve independence. This applies, among other things, to defense, raw materials, and medicines. Investors can profit from these three stocks. Avrupa Minerals is developing raw material projects in Finland, Portugal, and other countries, skillfully diversifying to reduce risks. The stock is still largely unknown, but this is likely to change soon. Rheinmetall is a basic investment, although there was a noticeable drop in its share price last week. Are expectations too high? At the beginning of 2025, there were hardly any expectations for Bayer. This made the comeback of the company and its stock all the more spectacular. Recently, positive study results have once again caused excitement. The next blockbuster is in the pipeline.

New analyst comments: Almonty Industries at all-time high, volatility at Rheinmetall and RENK – What is next?
The latest analyst ratings assess the growth prospects of Almonty Industries and several defense companies. The tungsten producer's stock stands out as particularly positive. The high price level of this critical raw material, combined with rising production volumes, is acting as an enormous profit lever with net margins of around 60% from 2028 onwards. The bottom line is that the experts' verdict on defense stocks is positive. The big picture underpinning this outlook is the tense geopolitical situation and massive increases in defense budgets.

Missed out on a 1,000% rally? Antimony Resources with significant upside potential! Following in the footsteps of MP Materials and Almonty!
Almonty Industries has gained over 1,000% in recent months. MP Materials has gained over 500%. Both companies produce critical metals such as tungsten and rare earths. Both have further price potential, but are also valued in the billions. Antimony Resources is currently worth around just EUR 50 million. While Antimony Resources is still at an earlier development stage, accelerating government support in the US and Canada could significantly shorten the path to production. If this succeeds, Antimony Resources should also be able to multiply its value.
