Battery raw materials are the bottleneck in many areas – Power Metallic Mines, DroneShield, and Volkswagen under review
A historic turning point is shaping the markets. Geopolitical ruptures and critical raw material dependencies are defining the new investment era. In this volatile era, security, resource sovereignty, and industrial change are becoming the most valuable assets. Global electrification is putting battery raw materials at the center of attention in both the defense and automotive industries. Today, we take a look at Power Metallic Mines, a future producer of polymetals, and DroneShield, whose drones require powerful batteries, as do Volkswagen's electric vehicles.

Stock Picking Alert! Power Metallic Mines – Set to Double? Puma and Evotec as Promising Turnarounds?
The 2025 stock market year has produced many winners, but also some losers. Bullish commodity markets and project progress led to a jump in the share price of Canadian commodity company Power Metallic Mines at the beginning of the year. In December, the share price corrected, but the upward trend quickly resumed, buoyed by good drilling results. The Canadian company holds one of the largest polymetallic deposits in North America, which has attracted many well-known investors this year. It is also worth taking a look at turnaround bets with takeover potential, such as Evotec and Puma.

Silver boom racing towards USD 100, or not? Focus on critical metals with Antimony Resources, Airbus, Rheinmetall, and Plug Power
No peace in Ukraine after all? Defense stocks are being passed around like hot potatoes; no one seems to want to be invested when the flag of peace is raised. Yesterday, the defense sector fell by 4% at times, with Rheinmetall even dropping below the EUR 1,500 mark. When disappointing interviews with Donald Trump arrived from Florida, the stocks turned upward again. The fact remains that the defense sector needs critical metals. Industrial giant Airbus has secured several new orders, while Plug Power's targets are being pushed further and further back. Is another capital increase looming? Antimony Resources remains promising, as the Canadians have what Donald Trump would like to have. Judge for yourself!

Geopolitical flashpoint: Why Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP stand to benefit from trade wars
The global race for critical resources has entered an explosive phase. Driven by decarbonization and technological progress, structural shortages prevail. But now geopolitical power struggles are further heating up the situation: protectionist trade barriers and strategic control over supply chains are artificially reducing supply and catapulting the importance of independent producers into new spheres. In this environment, the strategies of commodity giants and emerging players are coming into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the positioning of Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and BHP.

Gold gem, AI fantasy, and pharmaceutical giant! Which stock will take off in 2026? TeamViewer, Novo Nordisk, Laurion Mineral Exploration
The gold rally is simply unstoppable. But the big producers such as Barrick Mining and Newmont have already run their course. However, there are always undiscovered gold gems to be found. LAURION Mineral Exploration is one of them. The management team made a convincing case at an investor conference, and the stock is unlikely to remain so cheap for long. Novo Nordisk staged a small year-end rally. Nevertheless, the slide in the share price during the current year has been painful. Can the stock pick up speed again in 2026? TeamViewer is one of the disappointments of 2025 in Germany. Will AI fantasy bring the German software company's stock back into an upward trend?

Rally in sight – Zinc is the secret beneficiary of the steel boom and electric vehicles! Recognize the potential in Pasinex Resources, BYD, and Salzgitter!
The year 2025 was marked by sharply rising prices for raw materials. These included precious metals, especially silver, critical raw materials, but also industrial metals such as copper. The bottom line is that this year's rally passed zinc by. Starting at high prices in January, the price of the volatile industrial metal fell by around 10% over the course of the year. Zinc is used in a wide range of industrial and technological applications: as corrosion protection for steel, in alloys, and as electrode material for certain types of batteries. As the long-term growth drivers remain intact, investing in zinc offers good opportunities. Companies such as Pasinex Resources, which have high-grade deposits and can therefore achieve well above-average margins, are to be favored.

Record year – Will 2026 be even better for BYD, Kobo Resources, Palantir, and DroneShield?
After an exceptionally strong 2025, investors are asking whether the rally can continue into 2026.

The V-shaped movement at DroneShield is also exciting, with its shares already doubling from their December sell-off lows. Meanwhile, BYD is entering a decisive phase as it accelerates its expansion strategy in Europe. What should investors focus on next?
