Defense 2.0: Why Almonty Industries, DroneShield, and Palantir are the new strategic assets in the defense boom
While attention is focused on large defense contractors, a less noticed but lucrative ecosystem is emerging in the shadow of the defense boom. The real winners in the new security landscape are often companies that provide the essential foundations, from critical raw materials for high technology to defense against ubiquitous drone threats to analysis of crucial data streams. These companies are structurally benefiting from billion-dollar budgets and redefining modern security architecture. Three specialized players illustrate this momentum: Almonty Industries, DroneShield, and Palantir.

Problems at Masan High-Tech Materials, low grades at Xiamen Tungsten: How Almonty is becoming a strategic lifeline for Boeing, Rheinmetall & Co.
In the world of critical metals, a lesson in market power and geopolitical dependence is currently unfolding. Tungsten, which is indispensable for the defense industry, toolmaking, and semiconductor technology due to its extreme hardness and heat resistance, is becoming scarcer and more expensive – prices for APT are expected to reach four-figure territory by 2026. For many years, Chinese market leader Xiamen Tungsten has impressively demonstrated how lucrative the tungsten business can be. However, while Western industrial companies such as Rheinmetall and Boeing are desperately searching for material, it is becoming apparent that existing alternatives in Vietnam, namely Masan High-Tech Materials, cannot fill the gap due to geological limitations. It is precisely into this supply vacuum that Almonty Industries is moving. With the commissioning of the high-grade Sangdong mine in South Korea and the planned expansion in the US, Almonty offers much-needed security of supply and enables investors to participate in the high margins of the sector, but without the geopolitical risk of China and with additional unique advantages.

Over 770% in 2025! Will the rally continue in 2026? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, MP Materials!
What a year for defense and critical raw materials. China is increasingly using its raw material wealth as a geopolitical weapon. The US, in particular, is responding consistently and pushing Western companies. Tungsten is emerging from the shadow of rare earths due to its strategic importance. Tungsten producer Almonty Industries is commissioning its massive mine in South Korea, and its share price is shooting up by 770%. Even MP Materials cannot keep up. However, it is also valued significantly higher. Will Almonty continue to catch up in 2026? And what is Rheinmetall doing? Growth in 2025 was less strong than expected. Nevertheless, analysts see price potential for Germany's largest defense contractor in 2026.

Stock market miracles at a glance! Will Almonty, Rheinmetall, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS become double-baggers again in 2026?
With only two trading days left, one of the most successful investment years of the new millennium is coming to an end. A quarter of the year has already passed, and the major indices have gained around 25% on a currency-adjusted basis, a scenario that is rarely observed. Almonty Industries is among the top-performing stocks of the past 12 months, with investors' capital increasing by an impressive 730%. The large Sangdong tungsten mine in South Korea has now gone into operation, yet CEO Lewis Black is already working on the next strategic steps. Rheinmetall is in full swing, even if the highest prices could not be maintained here. And for the thyssenkrupp Group, a new era is dawning with the spin-off of its marine subsidiary TKMS. The rally is unlikely to be over yet for this select group. We do the math!

Spectacular gains in 2025: Almonty up 8x, Rheinmetall up 2x - is TKMS next? Let profits run?
Commodity stocks and defense shares were among investors' favorites in 2025. Rheinmetall shares have more than doubled this year and have even increased tenfold since the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine. An especially impressive rally was delivered by Almonty Industries, whose share price rose eightfold. The signs continue to point to growth, as the Company has key unique selling points and significant geopolitical relevance in the supply of strategic metals that are urgently needed in the West and are essential for the defense industry and high-tech sector. The necessary security of supply is also attracting governments as buyers. The development of stock market newcomer TKMS is also exciting. The order books of the manufacturer of submarines and naval vessels are filling up. The motto for these stocks in 2026 is: stay on board.

Milestone for Almonty Industries! Full order books at RENK and TKMS! Here is what analysts say
A milestone for Almonty Industries: the tungsten mine in South Korea goes into operation. This positions the raw material gem for strong revenue and earnings growth in the coming years. Analyst estimates are based on significantly lower prices and could therefore be too conservative. The stock is rebounding. Defense stocks are currently being weighed down by the possibility of peace in Ukraine, but order books remain well filled. Shortly before Christmas, RENK is celebrating a million-euro order from the German Armed Forces for various tanks. TKMS has no worries about revenue for the coming years, with an order backlog of EUR 18.5 billion, nearly nine times its annual sales. Analysts recommend buying.

Year-end rally ahead! Selected positioning for 2026 in Almonty, DroneShield, thyssenkrupp, and TKMS
Incredible volatility at year-end. No surprise - the past stock market year will go down in history as one of the best for the DAX and NASDAQ. And this despite shrinking economic growth and rising inflation. But seasoned investors already know that inflation boosts stock prices, and what drives them even more is defense spending. War is terrible, but it fills the coffers of financiers - led, as always, by the US. Donald Trump likes to sell himself as a peacemaker to the outside world, yet the US remains the world's largest producer of offensive and defensive technology. Business is booming, NATO is among the biggest customers, and demand runs into the trillions. Whether 2026 will continue in the same vein is doubtful, but conflicts at least continue to enable hyperinflationary money printing. As a result, the gigantic debt flywheel spins ever faster – this is how FIAT money systems have functioned for millennia! Where do opportunities lie for risk-aware investors?

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Theon – Peace talks open up opportunities
Hopes for a ceasefire in Ukraine are currently influencing not only politics but also the stock markets. While a possible peace plan is being negotiated at the highest level in Berlin, defense stocks are coming under short-term pressure. Investors are pricing in a scenario in which the military escalation subsides. However, looking beyond the daily headlines reveals a different picture. Regardless of the outcome of the Ukraine summit, Europe is facing a long-term security policy realignment, with permanently higher defense spending. For the defense industry, this means short-term volatility, but attractive prospects for investors in the medium to long term.

The Wall Street leverage: What Bank of America's entry really means for Almonty - the MP Materials blueprint
Capital on the stock market is not all the same. There is "dumb" money that chases short-term trends, and there is "smart" money that actually shapes markets. The alliance between Almonty Industries and Bank of America is therefore far more than a simple financing round. It is an institutional seal of approval that, via access to the wealth management arm Merrill, opens the door to US private capital and enables a re-rating. Analysts such as D.A. Davidson had already confirmed this potential before the most recent capital increase with the high-profile lead bookrunner, issuing concrete price targets of USD 12 and pointing to massive revenue growth through 2028.
