The situation is becoming critical everywhere! Are the next 300% gains already lurking at Antimony Resources, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, or CSG?
Neglected for too long, but now investors should pay close attention to the critical metals sector. Time and again, new horror stories from Ukraine and the Gaza Strip have reinforced psychological pressure, highlighting that Central Europe, too, could face foreign policy risks. As a result, EU policymakers are continuing to ramp up their spending on defense technology. Until 2022, defense investment in Europe averaged just 1.2% of GDP. By 2024, this figure had already climbed to 1.8%, and for 2025 it is expected to exceed 2.5%. By 2030, research institutes expect it to reach a record high of up to 5%. In other words, 5% of total tax revenues, along with additional debt, would be allocated to acquiring military equipment. A few years ago, in times of peace, this would have been unthinkable. Unfortunately, wars and power-driven political agendas have long since captured the attention of market participants. Investors who fail to act in their portfolios now risk being left behind.

These stocks continue to rise: Almonty Industries, RENK, and Steyr Motors. Do not miss out!
The pause near Almonty Industries' all-time high is likely to prove very short-lived. The arguments in favor of buying the stock are too strong. Several analysts have recently raised their price targets. As one of the world's largest producers of the critical raw material tungsten, the company has geopolitical weight, which is increasing in light of initiatives such as those by the US government to build up strategic reserves of rare earths and other critical raw materials. Several analysts have recently been promoting the two defense stocks RENK and Steyr Motors. Who has the edge?

Siemens Energy, TKMS, and Almonty Industries! Profits surge, forecasts raised, target prices raised!
Almonty shares remain high flyers. Even though the overall market is weakening, every dip is being used as an opportunity to buy Almonty shares. And for good reason. The price of tungsten is exploding, and analysts are only slowly taking this into account. Further price target increases are likely to follow. Siemens Energy's share price and target price are also rising. The German energy technology group is profiting handsomely from the AI boom. The current quarterly figures are convincing, but there is no room for error in the valuation. Recently listed TKMS has raised its forecast. However, investors are reacting cautiously. Analysts' opinions remain divided. Is there a margin problem looming?

Defense Stocks Consolidate: Sideways Phase or 100% Upside Potential? Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, Power Metallic, and CSG
Investors would have hoped for a different outcome since October 2025. While commodity stocks climbed to historic highs, the market's former favorites in the defense sector saw their first significant wave of profit-taking. Rheinmetall fell from EUR 2,005 to EUR 1,450, Renk dropped from EUR 95 to below EUR 50, and Hensoldt declined from EUR 117 to EUR 65. Although these stocks later recovered some percentage points, new record highs have yet to materialize. The situation was quite different in the critical metals sector - the supply chain companies serving the defense sector. Since autumn, one thing has become increasingly clear: materials are running scarce. This is because the growth of the newly beloved defense industry requires huge quantities of metal. With high-tech components embedded in virtually all modern systems, copper in particular is in high demand, along with rare earths and tungsten. The recent explosion in copper prices to over USD 13,500 speaks volumes. Investors may want to consider reallocating their portfolios, as high metal prices are likely to lead to declining margins in the future, particularly in the defense sector. Here are a few ideas.

Raw materials, armaments, returns: The investment logic behind Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Lockheed Martin
The global economy is under intense pressure. Geopolitical conflicts are causing shortages of critical raw materials and forcing nations to embark on a massive arms race. These two megatrends are creating unique profit opportunities for companies that are positioned at the crucial points of this value chain. Those who understand the strategic connection between vital resources, modern defense technology, and the highest level of security technology can profit. An analysis of the key players - Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Lockheed Martin - reveals how investors can position themselves along this strategic value chain.

Armored steel meets swarm intelligence: Why Rheinmetall and Hensoldt must retool - and why NEO Battery Materials could become a hidden winner of the drone war
The war in Ukraine has shattered military doctrines that were considered irrefutable in NATO headquarters for decades within a matter of months. The shocking realization: even the most modern battle tank is an easy target for a drone that costs less than a tank of fuel for the colossus. We are witnessing a tectonic shift in warfare away from classic weapons such as tanks and howitzers toward asymmetric threats that are decided by software, sensors, and, above all, range. In this new environment, established defense giants such as Rheinmetall and Hensoldt must reinvent themselves to avoid becoming obsolete. But while these corporations are slow to turn their tankers around, NEO Battery Materials is positioning itself as an agile player at the critical interface of modern warfare: batteries for drone swarms, independent of Chinese supply chains.

Peace dividend: How Antimony Resources, the RENK Group, and Lockheed Martin are reaping the rewards of military buildup
The new era of security will be decided deep underground in mines. The indispensable raw material for modern defense systems is antimony, a metal that is threatening to disappear from the world market and whose price is rising sharply. This strategic shortage creates a historic opportunity to invest directly at the source. The greatest potential is offered by the exploration company Antimony Resources, whose success in turn drives key suppliers such as the RENK Group and system builders such as Lockheed Martin.

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!

Top tips for 2026 – Critical metals and armaments! DroneShield, Pasinex, RENK, and Heidelberger Druck in focus
In 2025, there was a pronounced rally in critical metals starting in the summer. This was largely triggered by China, which imposed export restrictions on rare metals and strategic raw materials in response to arbitrary tariff demands from the White House. The metal markets reacted with strong upward movements, and the procurement centers of Western industry reacted even more severely. In view of the needs of the near future, a large number of properties would have to be brought into production in the areas of copper, graphite, lithium, uranium, zinc, and rare earths. However, it takes around 10 years to set up a mine, including all permits and preliminary investigations. Because this is far too long for the current needs, the market is looking at projects that are about to start production or are already producing. We offer a few ideas from the supply chain and potential customers.

Silver boom and critical metals on the rise! Keep a close eye on Rheinmetall, Infineon, Hensoldt, and Antimony Resources
International conflicts and competition for physical silver are leading to increasing uncertainty surrounding critical metals. Since the defense industry and the high-tech sector are particularly dependent on intact supply chains, increased volatility is also measurable in these sectors. For risk-conscious investors, the time has come to scan their portfolios for potential risks and, after one of the best upward cycles of the last 20 years, to close one or two doors. We can help with the analysis.
