Attention: IPO fever, now it's really starting! Hensoldt, Power Metallic, Renk, and thyssenkrupp
Before the election and after the election. At the beginning of the year, there was still a fight over the debt brake, but with the US pulling out of Ukraine aid, it seems that anything goes. Last week, in addition to an ECB interest rate cut, an EUR 800 billion package for armaments and infrastructure was proposed. This caused the DAX 40 index to surge, especially defense and construction stocks, which gained an average of 30%. Hensoldt and thyssenkrupp even made a giant leap upwards. The new all-time high for the index is now 23,475 points. Could there be an IPO from Essen soon? The probability for TKMS is increasing. However, it remains to be seen whether the significant premiums are sustainable; on Friday, there were initial sell-offs. Our specialty title, Power Metallic (formerly Power Nickel), continued to rise. We are looking into the crystal ball.

BYD, European Lithium, Lufthansa – It is high time to act
For the first time in history, the German leading index DAX was able to surpass the magic mark of 23,000 points last week, thanks to the possible new Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the sudden lifting of the debt brake. However, the problems remain. Since the start of Donald Trump's second term in office, the global economic order has been in jeopardy. Trade wars and punitive tariffs are on the agenda. Europe must be able to act independently of its big brother in the future, both in terms of security and the supply of raw materials.

thyssenkrupp, Globex Mining, Super Micro Computer – Defense, critical raw materials, and the AI boom drive profits
As the world moves towards a new era of tariffs, resource wars, and technology hegemony in 2025, there are three companies that can profit from the current hot topics. The EU has not only expanded its list of critical raw materials but has also announced billion-euro investments in domestic supply chains. This shows how important access to critical raw materials is for keeping one's economy running. Thyssenkrupp is taking advantage of the demand for high-security technology for maritime projects, Globex Mining is controlling key raw materials for high-tech projects and decarbonization, and Super Micro Computer is cooling the servers that are making the AI boom possible in the first place.

After thyssenkrupp, Ballard Power's share price is now exploding! Is First Phosphate next?
The Ballard Power share has made a strong comeback. On the back of a major order, it rose by 13%. Is there more to come? It seems that way for the First Phosphate share. The price decline of the past few weeks offers an attractive entry opportunity. The Canadians have reported on the current development of their phosphate activities. High revenues are expected from the investments, and the impact of US tariffs should be manageable. In any case, management is buying the stock. Investors have been snapping up thyssenkrupp shares in a big way this year. The price has doubled in a few weeks. Will it continue?

Nova Pacific Metals, Super Micro Computer and Palantir: The invisible power of the AI future
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how companies produce, but who is driving this revolution? Companies like Nova Pacific Metals, Super Micro Computer, and Palantir provide the raw materials, hardware, and software that are the cornerstones of this turning point. Nova Pacific mines critical metals such as copper and gold in Canada. These are essential raw materials for the smooth operation of data centers. With its LARA project, Nova Pacific is planning its next big move – a versatile, mineral-rich area valued at around CAD 30 million. Super Micro supplies the servers for the AI boom in California, but legal troubles cloud growth, despite partnerships with industry giants like Nvidia. Palantir, on the other hand, is working with Société Générale, France's most important commercial bank, to protect the financial world against money laundering with AI-supported analysis – a testament to the power of its Foundry platform. These "hidden champions" are inextricably linked: from the valuable raw materials to the machines, they shape the AI future from the ground up. Which company will best master the balance between innovation and challenge?

Almonty Industries, Hensoldt, and Renk Group: Strategic moves for Europe's strength
Global tensions and dynamic US politics are driving Europe's security efforts. Companies like tungsten producer Almonty Industries and defense contractors such as Hensoldt and Renk Group are moving to the center of this geopolitical chess game. Almonty has a unique opportunity to break China's tungsten monopoly with its Sangdong mine in South Korea. This presents a glimmer of hope for companies like Rheinmetall, which require hundreds of tons of tungsten yearly to continue to meet the demand for armaments. The German radar technology company Hensoldt has already seen its share price rise by 20% since plans for a multi-billion-dollar defense fund were announced. Renk Group supplies the drives for Europe's rearmament: With a "Ba2" rating from Moody's, the transmission manufacturer benefits from the NATO boom and US expansion. Between geopolitical pressure, commodity risks, and political hurdles, peaceful coexistence is at stake. Who has a strategic advantage for the next move on the global playing field?

BYD, XXIX Metal Corp, Volkswagen – Copper crowns the electric boom
Electric mobility is gaining momentum worldwide, and copper is becoming an indispensable fuel for this energy transition. Without the metal, there would be a lack of batteries, electric motors, and the necessary infrastructure like charging stations. In the automotive sector, Chinese electric vehicle pioneer BYD is setting the course for its global expansion with a multi-billion dollar share issuance. The Company aims to produce 6 million vehicles in 2025. This boom will benefit the demand for raw materials such as copper. Here, the Company XXIX Metal shines. The Canadian copper explorer holds nearly 5 billion pounds of copper and could become a key player in this boom. Its name says it all: "XXIX" for the Roman numeral 29, which represents the atomic number of copper in the periodic table. Volkswagen can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to relaxed EU CO₂ regulations, but the Company is burdened by the planned US tariffs and technical setbacks. We provide the details.

BYD, Nova Pacific Metals, Nordex – From raw materials to electric vehicles or wind turbines: The strategies behind the boom
In a world caught between climate targets and geopolitical tensions, three companies in seemingly different industries are driving the green transformation with disruptive technology and strategic foresight. In recent months, the EU has announced two infrastructure packages worth billions for renewable energies and critical raw materials. Whether e-mobility, mineral raw materials or wind power – they all share one goal: to redefine their sectors. However, the starting point is always the raw materials needed for the electrification of the world.

Bloom Energy, Benton Resources, Alibaba – Exceptional performance
The scandal in the Oval Office between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and US President Trump was a defining topic in recent days. The outcome remains uncertain from both a political and economic perspective. Will the missed peace talks now lead to a further downward spiral, or will negotiations be resumed, which could lead to an early end to the terrible war in Ukraine and a rally in the markets? Unaffected by global politics, several companies demonstrated strong momentum and could continue their upward trajectory.
