Nuclear power comeback in the EU! Solid returns with American Atomics, Amazon, and E.ON
Since the EU nuclear summit in Paris a few days ago, it has become clear that nuclear energy is once again socially acceptable in Europe. At the meeting, the European Commission described the former move away from nuclear power as a strategic mistake and launched a comprehensive offensive for small modular reactors (SMRs). According to the EU strategy, an SMR capacity of up to 53 GW is to be built up by 2050 in order to reduce the persistently high electricity prices and stop the impending exodus of industry. At the same time, a new factor is driving global electricity demand: artificial intelligence (AI). The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the share of nuclear and renewable energy in the global electricity mix will rise to 50% by 2030. Tech giants such as Amazon increasingly want to satisfy the energy hunger of AI data centers themselves. E.ON is also likely to benefit from this historic strategic shift by operating stable grids. However, at the source of the new boom is the up-and-coming exploration company American Atomics, which is searching for urgently needed uranium and closing a strategic gap in the supply chain. We highlight where investors can find the most attractive opportunities.

Iran war and skyrocketing oil prices! Are there any winners at all? Infineon, First Hydrogen, and Aixtron in focus
Tensions in Iran have escalated rapidly, with military actions unfolding over a seven-day period. For the international community and struggling economies, a sustained 20% increase in oil prices means a sharp decline in economic growth and a huge surge in inflation on store shelves due to downstream inflationary effects. Consumers will not fall into a new buying frenzy in times of war, but will keep their wallets closed. Stock market traders need to think beyond short-term reactions. The real opportunities may now lie in companies that have struggled in recent days or emerging stocks with strong long-term prospects. Which names are positioned to recover fastest once the crisis stabilizes?

From penny stock to tech pioneer: How Aspermont is transforming the commodity data market with Rio Tinto – Informa as a role model
Data is the raw material for tomorrow's decisions. In an economy where algorithms and large language models (LLMs) rely on verified and structured information, access to high-quality archives determines competitiveness. Aspermont has recognized this need and is transforming itself from a traditional media company into a technology company in the field of data intelligence. With a cumulative brand archive covering over 200 years of mining history, the company has a comprehensive data set on the global commodities industry. With its Mining IQ platform, Aspermont is digitizing this historical knowledge and structuring it for AI applications. This realignment completes the company's fourth phase of technological development, which builds on 180 years of print publications and the digital media and content-as-a-service models. The quality of the data is ensured by more than 100 specialist journalists and analysts who provide qualitative input for the platform.

Drone stock with almost 100% price potential! Volatus Aerospace benefits from NATO's military buildup! Over CAD 600 million in the pipeline!
Drones are the future – both in military and civilian applications. Volatus Aerospace is benefiting from both segments. The company experienced a strong stock market run last year. And rightly so. The Canadian drone specialist serving military and civilian markets is profiting from increased defense spending in its home country and across NATO. For example, the company provides drone pilot training. Most recently, the Canadian government not only announced that it would invest billions in military buildup, but also unveiled a long-term strategy for the defense industry. This initiative is designed to provide companies with greater planning security. Several analysts have issued "Buy" recommendations for the stock, citing an order pipeline of more than CAD 600 million.

Hydrogen transition: How dynaCERT, Plug Power, and Ballard Power Systems are decarbonizing the transportation sector
The market for hydrogen-powered logistics is set to reach a volume of USD 32.47 billion in 2026 and is expected to grow to USD 204.9 billion by the end of the decade. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that global demand for hydrogen was nearly 100 million tons last year, but less than 1% of that came from low-emission sources. In the US, tariffs on electrolysers and fuel cells, ranging from 10% to 30%, are forcing the industry to build local supply chains. In Europe, the REPowerEU plan, together with the EU hydrogen strategy, creates a stable framework for investment in infrastructure. However, an immediate and comprehensive replacement of the global heavy-duty fleet with completely emission-free vehicles would be difficult to achieve and also economically nonsensical. Instead, companies are preparing to retrofit existing fleets or promote the hydrogen transition in other ways.

Canada's CAD 81.8 billion program: Why the new strategy is set to take Volatus Aerospace even higher
There are moments when an industry changes fundamentally overnight. That is exactly what has happened in Canada. With its new defense industry strategy, the government in Ottawa has not simply launched another procurement program, but has rewritten the rules of the game. CAD 81.8 billion is to be invested, but the real sensation lies in the small print. In future, 70% of contracts are to go to Canadian companies. While the public is focused on the big names, a company that many have overlooked has positioned itself in the background. Volatus Aerospace from Quebec is the secret winner of this historic turnaround. It has built an empire of technology, infrastructure, and contracts.

Frequentis, Parrot, and Volatus Aerospace under the microscope: A hidden gem from Canada is reshuffling the deck
Drones have long been more than just a technological trend - they have become a geopolitical factor, and the stock market is reacting accordingly. While Austrian security specialist Frequentis, valued at billions, is already firmly in the sights of institutional investors, French micro-drone pioneer Parrot and Canadian full-service provider Volatus Aerospace are engaged in an exciting race for investor favor. Volatus, previously little known in Germany, has transformed itself from a restructuring case to a growth star in a remarkably short time with government backing, a promising NATO contract, and inclusion in the prestigious "TSX Venture 50" list. Parrot has apparently reached the break-even point, but is leaving investors in the dark until the end of March. Those who make the right choice now could benefit from one of the most exciting investment themes of the decade – but the differences between the three candidates are greater than they appear at first glance.

New German hydrogen gem! Will A.H.T. Syngas eclipse the old favorites Plug Power and Nel ASA?
Is it time for a changing of the guard in the hydrogen sector? The old favorites Plug Power and Nel ASA have been falling short of expectations for years. Yet the benefits of hydrogen in the energy mix of the future are undisputed. A.H.T. Syngas is on its way to becoming the new hydrogen gem. The company produces synthetic natural gas substitutes from biogenic residues and, in the future, hydrogen as well. A.H.T. Syngas has recently achieved an important breakthrough. In addition, it is in the process of transforming itself from a pure plant manufacturer to an energy producer. The revaluation has begun, but is far from complete. Analysts see considerable upside potential.

New valuation level ahead? How Volatus Aerospace is rising to become a system supplier in the shadow of DroneShield and AgEagle Aerial Systems
The threat to critical infrastructure and national borders is completely reshaping the budgets of Western governments: today's wars are no longer fought with tanks, but with unmanned aerial systems and intelligent surveillance technology. Canada has responded to this reality with a new defense industry strategy that aims to end its dependence on foreign military equipment. The Ottawa government's stated goal is to award 70% of future procurement contracts to domestic companies, thereby creating demand for local producers. In this environment, Volatus Aerospace is transforming itself from a service provider to a systemically important technology producer for national security.

Why Silver North Resources is benefiting from Xiaomi and Broadcom's hunger for silver
Megatrends are shaking up the economy. The AI boom is driving energy demand to dizzying heights. A single data center now consumes as much electricity as 100,000 households. At the same time, the old trading order is crumbling, and an inconspicuous metal is becoming a key strategic resource: silver. The sixth consecutive supply deficit is turning exploration projects into a question of power, because without silver, there would be no smartphones, no chips, and no energy transition. The value chain from Canadian explorer Silver North Resources to ecosystem builder Xiaomi to chip giant Broadcom shows how you can benefit from this situation.
