Commodities in Overdrive: BHP and Rio Tinto Cash In While Almonty Targets Critical Metals in Greenland
What investors are witnessing in the markets now amounts to an almost tectonic shift. Energy and commodity prices are surging, while interest rates have climbed to levels not seen in seven years. The East is embracing protectionism, while the US-led West is taking an increasingly assertive stance. In this capitalist imperialism of deep pockets, the US president's territorial claims over Greenland, administered by Denmark, have added another layer of geopolitical tension. These trends extend beyond the traditional mining business and are causing significant turmoil in futures markets. The geopolitical fault line runs right through the Arctic, where Greenland, thanks to gigantic deposits such as the Tanbreez project, is in the crosshairs of the Pentagon and Western security agencies. China continues to control large parts of the global supply chain, but the strategic agreement between Washington and Copenhagen is erecting a powerful barrier. At the same time, tungsten prices on the world market are soaring, outpacing almost all other critical minerals. This indispensable industrial metal, essential for the defense industry and the AI chip sector, is subject to drastic export restrictions. These supply bottlenecks are driving Western buyers to the brink of despair. A wild mix of megalomania, panic, and sabre-rattling. Where do the opportunities lie for investors with strong nerves?

RTX, Almonty Industries, Elmet Group – This Is Fundamental for the West
Tungsten is increasingly becoming a strategic raw material in the new arms race. Missiles, engines, high-temperature alloys, and many other applications rely on this extremely hard, heat-resistant metal. At the same time, China dominates large parts of the global supply chain. For the US and its allies, an independent supply is therefore increasingly becoming a matter of national security. Billions are flowing into new defense production capacities, strategic stockpiles, and Western raw material projects. This opens a market for producers outside China, with significance that extends far beyond traditional commodity cycles.

RENK Under Pressure! Buy Signals for TKMS and Almonty
Alarm at Renk. The stock has slipped below EUR 40. It has now more than halved in value since its all-time high in October 2025. An analyst's comment sparked renewed unease. The comment warned of a potentially disappointing third quarter of 2026. Almonty shares are recommended as a "Buy". Analysts expect the tungsten producer to significantly increase revenue and profits in the coming years. Revenue is projected to exceed USD 1 billion in 2028. Almonty is then expected to be the largest Western supplier of this critical raw material. Analysts also recommend buying TKMS shares. A record order is taking shape. The order book is already full. The stock, however, is struggling.

Full Order Books, Weak Share Prices: Is This a Buffett Opportunity? Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Renk in Focus!
The defense boom is still going strong, but the tide has turned on the stock market. Following the sharp price gains of recent years, investors are becoming more selective. This is evident in Rheinmetall and Renk, whose stocks have come under pressure despite strong long-term demand. Meanwhile, Almonty Industries, a company operating at a different point in the value chain, remains in the spotlight. The South Korean tungsten mine Sangdong has received the green light to begin commercial operations at its processing facilities. Tungsten is considered a strategically important raw material for the defense and high-tech industries, and Almonty aims to position itself as the largest Western supplier in a highly concentrated market. Where are the greatest opportunities now?

Raw Materials, Defense and Aerospace: Spectacular Price Targets for Almonty, Renk and OHB
September is traditionally not the best month for the stock market, which is why the DAX, Dow Jones, and others have struggled recently. During these periods, it is worth looking at second- and third-tier stocks. After all, individual stocks in this segment offer tremendous potential—if analysts are to be believed. Sensational studies were released last week on Almonty Industries, Renk and OHB. At first glance, a mining company, a transmission manufacturer, and a satellite builder have little in common. But on closer inspection, all three raise the question of how independent the West wants to be in the future when it comes to raw materials, defense, and space infrastructure. All three stocks are trading well below their all-time highs and offer upside potential ranging from 60% to over 100%.

World Leaders in Their Fields: ASML, Albemarle and Almonty Industries in Focus
True global market leaders dominate and control their businesses while keeping competitors at bay. Sometimes, high market shares result from unique technology, as is the case with ASML. Other times, they stem from years of building a business to become a key industry player, as seen with Almonty Industries and Albemarle. However, even these companies and their stocks have come under pressure over the summer amid heightened uncertainty in the equity markets. Their shares are now well below their previous record highs. This could present opportunities for strategically minded investors. That is why we are looking at ASML, Albemarle and Almonty Industries today.

Breakthroughs, Production Launches and Billion-Dollar Contracts – Almonty Industries, Secunet Security Networks, Viking Therapeutics
Strong clinical trial data, the launch of a strategically important raw-materials production facility, and a potential billion-dollar contract are driving market activity. The three companies presented today could benefit from long-term megatrends such as obesity therapies, secure supply chains, and rising defense spending. However, high growth opportunities are offset by clinical risks, operational challenges, and ambitious valuations.

Tungsten Shortage: Almonty Secures Sandvik Deal – New US Defense Rules Raise Pressure on Lockheed & Co.
In extreme operating conditions, cutting-edge technology relies on materials that push the boundaries of physics. Whether in ammunition, engines, or milling heads that machine titanium blocks for stealth jets—there is no getting around tungsten. With the highest melting point of any pure metal and an enormous density, the element is considered indispensable for industry and the defence sector. Yet, of all things, the West is almost left high and dry when it comes to this key component. Beijing controls over three-quarters of global production and also dominates downstream processing. However, price spikes and stricter trade rules are now shaking the industry awake. At the centre of it all is the US tungsten specialist Almonty Industries.

Lockheed Martin, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall: Defense Boom Meets Tungsten Shortage
The global defense boom is entering its next phase. Growth is no longer driven solely by new orders, but by how quickly companies can ramp up production capacity. However, missiles, aircraft, and armoured vehicles require large quantities of strategic materials. Tungsten, in particular, is virtually irreplaceable for many military applications because of its extreme hardness and heat resistance. As Western defense contractors expand their manufacturing, control over secure sources of raw materials is therefore increasingly becoming a strategic issue.
