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.

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.

Peace plan for Ukraine! Losses at Rheinmetall, RENK, and Hensoldt - Are Oklo and Kobo Resources already a buy?
The capital markets are caught in a political squeeze. The billion-dollar announcements for rearmament among NATO states had driven dream-like share price gains at Rheinmetall & Co., in some cases delivering annual returns of over 600%. With the latest publications hinting at potential peace options, however, those days now appear to be over. Investors are suddenly reassessing the overvaluation that has been evident for months and are taking profits. Rheinmetall, in particular, has been unable to reach its high of EUR 2,005 for quite some time. Further turbulence appears to be looming here. At Oklo and Kobo Resources, on the other hand, the correction phases seem to be nearing an end. We go into more detail below.

Hensoldt, Volatus Aerospace, Saab – Promising opportunities in the second line of defense
The defense industry is booming, and order books continue to fill up amid global rearmament. Nevertheless, established companies like Rheinmetall, RENK, and Hensoldt are already ambitiously valued, offering a limited risk-reward ratio. It is worth taking a look at the second tier, where more and more defense startups are coming to the fore and are likely poised to outperform the big players in the near future.

Drone stocks: Opportunities with Volatus Aerospace, DroneShield, and Rheinmetall
When drones appeared over several European airports in September and brought flight operations to a standstill, it came as a shock. The incidents revealed that Germany and many other Western countries are largely powerless against drones, as there are no defense mechanisms in place. Instead, representatives of the German Armed Forces and police are arguing over who is responsible for countering such threats – in Germany, there are even regulations governing who may defend against enemy threats and where. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine continues – and with it, the drone war is evolving. It has long been clear that drones are essential as a deterrent and have become a core element of every modern army. We explain why Volatus Aerospace is well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing drone hype.
