AI, Robotics, Hydrogen and Copper: SanDisk, First Hydrogen, and Lundin Mining in Focus
The AI boom continues, driving major indices such as the S&P 500 toward new all-time highs. Chart analysts believe the 8,000-point mark could soon be within reach. But there is much more going on behind the scenes. Where robotics, AI, drones and energy converge, opportunities can emerge for prudent investors. However, it is important to bear in mind that volatility is currently extremely high, particularly among stocks closely tied to the AI theme. Nevertheless, today we take a closer look at the shares of SanDisk, First Hydrogen and Lundin Mining.

How to Profit from the Raw Materials Shortage: A Look at the Top Picks—Rio Tinto, Globex Mining and Glencore
A fierce battle is raging over raw materials. The green transition is not the only reason demand has skyrocketed. AI, specifically its data centers, and robotics are also driving demand even higher. Added to this are geopolitical dependencies and national supply concerns. The US is pushing for domestic production. China is buying up raw materials worldwide, and resource-rich countries like the Congo are imposing new export conditions. Those who run out of raw materials will lose their supply chains. We therefore take a closer look at Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore today.

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.

BHP Group, Strategic Resources, and Freeport McMoRan: AI and Robotics Are Triggering a Commodity Supercycle
Commodity markets are on the verge of a supercycle. The rapid expansion of digital infrastructure, from AI data centers to robotics, is driving demand for a wide variety of commodities to new heights. As soon as production becomes more efficient, sufficient materials will be needed. Copper, the backbone of electrification, is a prime example of the looming supply shortage. Overall, the combination of growing demand and only gradual expansion of mining operations is the perfect breeding ground for a sustained rise in commodity prices. This price surge will ultimately have a positive impact on the balance sheets of commodity companies. Three companies that stand to benefit from this trend are BHP Group, Strategic Resources, and Freeport McMoRan.

Helsing IPO in 2027? Hensoldt Expands Drone Partnership as First Hydrogen Eyes Robotics Re-Rating
Could Helsing go public as early as next year? The defence technology company is currently valued at a whopping USD 18 billion. To justify that valuation, Helsing is developing, among other things, the CA-1 Europa autonomous combat aircraft. Hensoldt is supporting this effort, and the partnership was recently expanded. Meanwhile, First Hydrogen is broadening its business model. CEO Balraj Mann increasingly views autonomous systems as a key technology in light of changes in the defence, security, and disaster response sectors. By building in-house AI expertise, the company aims to further develop its UGV program for autonomous navigation, situational awareness, and counter-drone capabilities, while simultaneously expanding its strategy at the intersection of clean energy, mobility, and robotics. If successful, these initiatives could provide the catalyst for a re-rating of the company's shares.

Siemens, First Hydrogen, and Oklo: Leveraging the Synergy Between Automation and New Nuclear Energy
The future of industry will not be determined solely by smarter automation or cheaper energy sources, but by the intelligent interplay between the two. While robotics and AI are revolutionizing production, they require a clean, decentralized, and scalable energy infrastructure. This is precisely where an investment opportunity arises, linking technological progress with structural demand. Anyone setting the course today must understand this intersection. And it is precisely here, where three complementary companies are positioning themselves: Siemens as an industrial automation provider, First Hydrogen as a connector of energy and automation solutions, and Oklo as a focused SMR specialist.

Physical AI Outshines Everything Else: First Hydrogen, XPeng, and Schaeffler Are Benefiting from the "Next Big Thing"
Experts agree that humanoid robots are among the largest future technology markets of the coming decades. Physical AI refers to AI systems that not only process information but also enable machines to perceive their environment, make decisions, and act autonomously in the real world. This forms the technological foundation for applications such as humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, drones, and a new generation of intelligent production systems. Physical AI is thus an ecosystem that connects semiconductors, software, sensor technology, robotics, and automation. But it is not just manufacturers of humanoid robots that stand to benefit—numerous suppliers along the value chain will as well. We look at what this means specifically for First Hydrogen, XPeng and Schaeffler.

How Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Siemens Are Turning AI Drones and Hydrogen Robots Into the New Defence Megatrend of 2026
Ukraine has brought the future of warfare into sharp focus. Unmanned systems dominate the battlefield. With the EUR 16 billion "Drone Action Plan" and NATO's robotic deployment on the eastern flank, this realization is now becoming an industrial imperative for Europe. The real turning point, however, lies in energy. Hydrogen fuel cells eliminate the range limitations of batteries and give autonomous systems operational superiority. This is giving rise to a new industrial complex in which Rheinmetall, First Hydrogen, and Siemens are positioning themselves to capitalize on the megatrend of the next decade.

Plug Power in Rally Mode! Robotics Potential at RENK and First Hydrogen
Plug Power's stock has more than doubled since late February. It broke through the USD 4 mark earlier this week. But the rally will eventually need to be backed up by operational news. At least there was a recent capital increase. At First Hydrogen, the revaluation has only just begun. The company aims to make its mark in robotics and drones. It is targeting an interesting niche within the multi-billion-dollar markets. The stock does not appear expensive. Analysts recommend buying RENK, though the price target has been lowered. However, as is the case across the entire defence sector, momentum is lacking. But this could change soon. A defence trade show is coming up, and RENK is offering an interesting outlook.

Do not miss the return of the Industrial Revolution: Mercedes-Benz, First Hydrogen, and Rockwell Automation are leading the way
The next stage of the green transformation is targeting two stubborn sources of emissions: heavy-duty transportation and energy-intensive industry. Green hydrogen is replacing diesel and coal in these sectors, while driverless transport systems and autonomous robots are revolutionizing logistics and manufacturing. However, the key lies in the intelligent integration of both technologies—only this will pave the way for emission-free, efficient value chains. Those who recognize this synergy early on can benefit from future markets worth billions. It is precisely this pioneering role that Mercedes-Benz, with its autonomous driving concepts, First Hydrogen, with its unmanned hydrogen vehicles, and Rockwell Automation, with its data-driven production automation, are claiming.
