Drone wall for Europe! Almonty, DroneShield, and Hensoldt – Defense stocks taking off again!
The past few weeks have shown that Europe has been asleep at the wheel on drone defense. In Denmark, Poland, and Germany, these small aircraft are almost impossible to detect, and when they are, current countermeasures are inefficient and costly. At the EU summit in Copenhagen, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned of the "most serious threat since World War II" and called for urgent investment. Billions must now flow into radar systems, jammers, and interception technologies. This is electrifying defense stocks. Almonty, at the beginning of the value chain, supplies tungsten, a critical material also used in drones and missiles. Hensoldt, with its expertise in detection systems, is investing heavily in new solutions. Can DroneShield justify its billion-dollar valuation?

Almonty Industries, Gerresheimer, BASF – It is not too late yet!
The race for critical high-tech goods and raw materials is already underway. The COVID-19 pandemic painfully highlighted the downsides of a globally interconnected economy. China's export ban on critical raw materials is currently having a double impact, as the country dominates the market. This effect is expected to continue to intensify in the future as demand continues to rise dynamically while supply increases only slowly. This provides a strong tailwind for raw material producers, but poses significant challenges for companies in other sectors.

What is happening at Gerresheimer? Almonty Industries and Rheinmetall are booming again!
In uncertain times, the focus shifts to companies that form the backbone of our critical infrastructure. Their ability to build resilient and transparent supply chains for essential goods determines our collective resilience to geopolitical and economic upheavals. Where the highest quality and safety standards prevail in areas such as pharmaceuticals, high tech, and defense, sustainable and ethical conduct becomes a decisive competitive advantage, while strict traceability along the value chain becomes the new benchmark. This development makes values such as those of Gerresheimer, Almonty Industries, and Rheinmetall particularly interesting.

More than defense - How Almonty's tungsten makes AI chips from Intel and Micron possible
Tungsten is considered a critical metal worldwide—the defense industry in particular cannot do without it. But tungsten is also a high-tech metal. Without this element, which only melts at 3,400 degrees Celsius, has low resistance, and offers extremely high electrical conductivity, computer chips would not exist. The AI boom would be unthinkable without tungsten – the many data centers currently springing up around the world could not be built. We show how companies from the chip industry, such as Intel and Micron, are securing their supply and explain why Almonty is a blessing for the chip industry.

Shooting down Russian drones and fighter jets? NATO keeps its focus on Rheinmetall, Almonty and Hensoldt!
On the financial markets, Russian provocations involving jet and drone overflights are primarily perceived as a security risk. Such actions increase political instability and often trigger a flight to safe havens such as gold, government bonds, or the US dollar. At the same time, defense stocks and companies in the security sector tend to benefit, as investors anticipate rising defense spending in Europe and within NATO. For the broader equity market, the increased risk often translates into higher volatility and temporary price setbacks. In the long term, such threat scenarios are factored into risk premiums and valuation models, leading to more selective capital allocation in security-related sectors. Here are a few ideas.

NATO under pressure! Almonty target price rises! RENK not a favorite at Goldman Sachs! DroneShield hits milestone!
Russia is testing NATO! Drones and fighter jets are repeatedly being spotted in European airspace, showing that de-escalation is not happening. NATO must continue to strengthen its defenses. This offers opportunities for investors across the entire value chain of the defense industry. In the raw materials sector, Almonty shares are a top pick. Analysts expect the tungsten producer to see an explosion in profits in the coming years and are raising their price target. Could the US government even step in? DroneShield has reached a milestone thanks to follow-up orders from the US Department of Defense. The drone defense specialist sees itself well-positioned for the future. Goldman Sachs has commented on RENK for the first time, but the analysts have other favorites.

Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, D-Wave Quantum – Alarm bells are ringing
Tungsten is one of the most strategically critical raw materials in the global economy. With its extremely high melting point, exceptional density, and hardness, the metal is indispensable, especially in the defense industry and semiconductor technology. Tungsten is also essential in toolmaking, aviation, and medical technology. The problem: over 80% of global production comes from China, a massive dependency that is increasingly viewed critically in times of geopolitical uncertainty. With the global expansion of defense and high-tech, demand is rising rapidly, but secure Western supply chains are virtually non-existent.

Almonty Industries, thyssenkrupp, Nordex – Perfect news!
Rare earths and critical raw materials play a vital role across many sectors of the economy. They are essential for electric motors, permanent magnets, and battery technologies and are of great importance in the defense industry. China controls the majority of global reserves and is restricting exports. Western countries have long been making great efforts to secure deposits outside China, with particular pressure coming from the US. A recently published report by Bloomberg has raised eyebrows.

Defense industry expands – New growth drivers: Hensoldt, Almonty and Rheinmetall
An industry once largely overlooked by the public is now dominating the headlines. On Monday, it was announced that Rheinmetall will acquire the Marine Division of the Bremen-based Lürssen Group. This includes the Blohm + Voss shipyards, the Norderwerft shipyard in Hamburg, the Peene shipyard, and the Neue Jadewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven. This move underscores how the defense industry is venturing into new domains. Meanwhile, tensions between Russia and NATO continue to escalate. The drones that flew over Poland last week are considered by experts to be a serious provocation. In this context, we take a closer look at three high-flyers in the defense industry and highlight where investors may find the greatest opportunities.
