100% Upside Potential, a Downgrade, and a Sell-Off: Renk, OHB, and Almonty
Analysts see around 100% upside potential in shares of Almonty Industries. Following discussions with the company's CEO, they have raised both their earnings estimates and their price target to USD 33. Even under what they describe as conservative assumptions, the stock is expected to trade at a 2027 P/E ratio of below 10. Analysts are less optimistic about Renk Group. While the transmission manufacturer is expected to deliver solid growth, its valuation is no longer considered attractive. In addition, the long-term shift in defense procurement from tanks toward drones could become a headwind for the company. As a result, the stock has been downgraded. The situation at OHB is even more dramatic. The aerospace company's shares have fallen by more than 50% in roughly two months. Following the recently completed capital increase, investors are now expected to refocus on the company's underlying operational performance.

Portfolio Booster 2026: Staying Ahead of NATO's Military Build-Up with Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, and TKMS
The era of tank divisions is largely over. Today, air and sea domains are merging into a networked battlefield where autonomous drones, AI-powered sensors, and maritime surveillance systems are the decisive forces. The NATO summit in Ankara and Germany's record budget of EUR 108 billion are massively accelerating this technological transformation. For investors, this means focusing on the next generation of air and maritime defence. Three companies embody the full scope of this transformation: the full-service provider Rheinmetall, the agile drone pioneer Volatus Aerospace, and the maritime systems partner TKMS.

Almonty, Sandvik, and Airbus: Three Stocks for the Battle Over Critical Raw Materials
Tungsten has long been a niche topic on the stock market. But this extremely hard metal is used, among other things, in cutting tools, semiconductors, aviation, and defense—and China dominates the supply chain. As a result, the critical raw material has become systemically important and is taking center stage in Western industrial and security policy. With Almonty Industries, Sandvik, and Airbus, we present three stocks that allow investors to profit across the value chain.

ESCALATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: OCCIDENTAL, VOLATUS AEROSPACE, AND PALANTIR IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF STOCK MARKET TRADERS
Hopes for a ceasefire between the US and Iran were premature: peace talks have been put on hold. Instead, the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz is escalating once again—with attacks on tankers, US sanctions against Iranian oil, and retaliatory strikes on both sides. Investors would therefore be wise to take a look at three stocks from three completely different industries, each reflecting a different stage of the same crisis: the oil and gas company Occidental Petroleum as a direct play on energy prices; the Canadian drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, which is benefiting from growing demand for military hardware; and the software manufacturer Palantir, which illustrates where the real value growth is shifting in the age of AI-driven warfare.

Volatus Aerospace, TKMS, and Rheinmetall: Three Stocks for the Next Defence Boom
Financial markets had partly priced in a lasting ceasefire in the Persian Gulf, but the conflict has flared up again. U.S. President Donald Trump recently declared the ceasefire with Iran to be over. The global defence boom is far from running out of steam. On the contrary, it continues to gather momentum while constantly shifting its focus. After ammunition, tanks, air defence systems and drones, maritime defence is once again moving into the spotlight. Around the recent NATO summit in Ankara, for example, Canada announced multi-billion-dollar submarine plans involving thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). At the same time, rising defence spending across Europe and the technological race in counter-drone capabilities underline the continuing need for military investment. Against this backdrop, investors may find new opportunities—from the more speculative Volatus Aerospace to the more established defence names TKMS and Rheinmetall.

DAX at 30,000—Unrealistic? Keep an Eye on DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Airbus, and Hensoldt
It has been a long time since global equity markets experienced such a powerful and broad-based bull run. Investors have once again been reminded that geopolitical conflicts do not necessarily trigger prolonged market declines. Instead, they often reinforce expectations of higher defence spending, accelerated technological innovation, and additional government investment. At the same time, public debt continues to climb. Rather than being meaningfully reduced, maturing obligations are typically refinanced by issuing new debt. In the view of many market participants, this ongoing expansion of public borrowing continues to provide liquidity support for financial markets. This trend has persisted since the global financial crisis of 2008. Meanwhile, the influence of major technology entrepreneurs and capital allocators on politics and industry has become increasingly apparent. Figures such as Elon Musk play a far greater role in shaping industrial policy and technological development than would have seemed conceivable only a decade ago. Valuation, however, remains a growing concern. The cyclically adjusted Shiller P/E ratio for the S&P 500 has averaged roughly 17.4 over the long term. At around 39.5, it currently stands approximately 127% above that historical average. That places the market among the most richly valued periods in modern history, exceeded only by the peak of the dot-com bubble in 1999. Whether traditional valuation metrics remain fully applicable in today's AI-driven and highly liquid market environment has therefore become an increasingly debated question among investors.

Russia Has Its Eyes on Poland: Asymmetric Threats Boost Rheinmetall and DroneShield—Is Volatus Aerospace a Hidden Gem?
Is Russia testing NATO? New scenarios even consider the possibility of asymmetric attacks on Poland. This complex situation is forcing nations to rethink their defence strategies and invest accordingly. According to surveys by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, global military spending reached a historic high of USD 2.887 billion in 2025. This trend is driving the unmanned aerial systems and defence technologies sector in particular. While large corporations and specialized technology suppliers are benefiting from this realignment, smaller, more agile market players are coming into focus within the defence industry as strategic suppliers and acquisition targets. We take a closer look and highlight some exciting stocks.

Volkswagen in Crisis, Rheinmetall Plummets: Could Volatus Aerospace Be the One to Benefit?
Drones have forever changed the face of modern warfare and are forcing nations around the globe to make drastic adjustments. Driven by the sometimes harsh lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, South Korea is now also planning a radical military reform. In the future, each of the country's 500,000 active-duty soldiers is to be trained as a drone pilot to counter the ever-growing threat from North Korea. Meanwhile, the military escalation in Europe continues to accelerate. As the Ukrainian Navy uses agile combat boats in the Black Sea to intercept Russian drones and protect the vital ports of Odesa, concerns are mounting in Moscow. Fearing Ukrainian counterstrikes, the Kremlin is tightening its defensive perimeter by deploying additional S-400 air defence systems, reportedly even on the grounds of a foundation linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin's daughter. In our latest report, we examine how the rise of unmanned weapon systems is fueling a global arms race and what it could mean for the shares of Volkswagen, Rheinmetall, and Volatus Aerospace.

ILA 2026 Unveils the Winners: Conquering the Next Multi-Billion-Dollar Aviation Market with Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, and Boeing
The next stage of aerial warfare is not a distant scenario, but a tangible industrialization trend that has taken the capital markets by storm. NATO exercises, lessons learned from Ukraine, and the 2026 International Aerospace Exhibition all underscore the urgent shift toward networked, autonomous systems. Investors should not dismiss this as a mere technological gimmick. In the future, the decisive factor will no longer be the platform alone, but rather mastery of entire ecosystems comprising sensors, software, and integration. Those who identify the right companies early on will participate in a market driven by rising defence budgets and political momentum. We take a closer look at Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, and Boeing.

OHB Caught in the SpaceX Trap! Buy Rheinmetall Now? Almonty Shares Added to the Russell Index Today - Tungsten Outperforms Gold!
Rheinmetall has had a disastrous week. The stock of Germany's largest defense contractor has lost more than 20% over the past five trading days. Is this a buying opportunity? What do analysts say? OHB's stock plummeted by over 30% last week. The German aerospace company shocked shareholders with a major capital increase and the partial exit of a major shareholder. Furthermore, the space hype surrounding the SpaceX IPO appears to be over. Still, the stock is up over 100% so far in 2026. Almonty shares have posted similarly strong gains in 2026. The price of this tungsten high-flyer also consolidated last week. However, the price of tungsten remains at an all-time high. More and more media outlets are reporting on shortages of this critical raw material—even in China. Almonty should continue to benefit from this trend. Incidentally, as of today, the stock is part of the Russell 1000 and 3000 indices.
