Timing is half the battle! Watch out for defense stocks: Renk, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and dynaCERT in focus!

  • Hydrogen
  • armaments

Despite a red-green government, defense stocks are in demand again in Germany. After years of pacifism, Berlin's traffic light government is now firing up arms investments everywhere with conviction. The aim is to make the war in Ukraine a success for Europe by supplying weapons - an interesting experiment and an entirely new direction in the German political spectrum. The underfunding of the German Bundeswehr has been rightly recognized, and now an additional EUR 100 billion is to be allocated under the Basic Law. The stock market picks up on this trend and values the sought-after armaments higher and higher, and international exports are now more legitimized than ever. That is how quickly times change. This brings fantasy to the share price and a windfall for resourceful investors. Where do further opportunities lie?

In today's technology-driven world, rare earths have become indispensable building blocks for modern high-tech applications. From high-performance electric vehicles, which promise environmentally conscious mobility, to sophisticated equipment in the defense industry, whose importance increases in times of geopolitical tensions - rare earths are everywhere. These elements, often invisible yet crucial, enable the functionality and efficiency of devices and systems used in our daily lives, such as smartphones. Rare earths have become a silent backbone of technological innovation and security policy, whose availability and control can play a decisive role in economic success and strategic superiority.

Almonty Industries, thyssenkrupp, Rheinmetall: Three metal industry shares in focus

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • armaments
  • Steel

The metal industry contributes globally to the development of various sectors through continuous innovation driven by mining, R&D and technological advances. Tough times lie ahead for thyssenkrupp. During the Annual General Meeting, CEO Miguel López emphasized that energy costs for steel production will account for up to half of total costs. Quo Vadis, Germany, as a business location? So, let's take a look at South Korea, another renowned steel producer. The tungsten mining company Almonty Industries is positioning itself as a pioneer here, aiming to cover 7% of the global market. Its strategy involves mining in democratically governed countries and establishing first-class trade partners such as the US and South Korea. Given the geopolitical tensions, in which 90% of tungsten production comes from China and Russia, investors should analyze Almonty more closely. Meanwhile, Rheinmetall, an arms manufacturer, is enjoying full-order books and, for the first time, is exploring a completely new technology division for its portfolio expansion.

BYD, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Strategic breakthroughs open up new opportunities

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • Electromobility
  • armaments

Rare earth metals play a crucial role in many modern technologies, especially in electromobility and the defense industry. Their unique properties make them irreplaceable for specific applications. Demand is increasing dramatically due to ambitious climate targets and the rearmament that has occurred since the start of the war in Ukraine. China holds a quasi-monopoly on the entire value chain. In Western countries, there is a lack of alternatives to escape dependence on the Middle Kingdom.

Hydrogen sell-off: Invest now in high-tech blockbusters! Nel ASA, Defense Metals, AMD, Rheinmetall

  • Mining
  • Hydrogen
  • RareEarths
  • armaments

Two important trends are emerging after 3 trading weeks on the stock market in 2024. The hydrogen sector is experiencing the long-awaited sell-off, while AI-related high-tech stocks are making new highs every day. Last week, the NASDAQ 100 Index reached a new all-time high of 17,340 points. Stocks such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Supermicro and AMD are moving upward daily with massive turnover. As chips also require a lot of strategic metals, the rare earth region of Wicheeda in Canada has also attracted media attention. As a result, the explorer Defense Metals has seen a significant increase in stock market turnover. No surprise: industrialized countries are looking for safe countries of origin for indispensable metals. Where are the opportunities for investors?

  • Mining
  • Tungsten
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies
  • armaments

The new year has barely begun, and investors are looking for the winning stocks for the coming year. Investors should keep an eye on the critical raw material tungsten, which Almonty Industries produces. There is significant dependence on China and Russia in this sector. The areas of application are diverse and range from electric cars, which Volkswagen builds, to medical products, metal alloys, industrial applications, electronic devices and the defense industry, where Rheinmetall operates. In times of increasing conflicts and escalating trade disputes between the US and China, essential resources such as tungsten are increasingly coming to the fore. We look at which of the three shares could take off in 2024.

Siemens Energy, Defense Metals, Rheinmetall - Rare earths as a risk factor

  • Mining
  • RareEarths
  • renewableenergies
  • armaments

The scarcity of and access to rare earths has become a major global concern. China plays a decisive role in the production of rare earths, as the country mines 60% of all rare earths worldwide and processes 85% of them. After the US banned the export of AI chips, China considered banning the export of rare earth metals. These trade blockades from both sides are causing tensions in international trade relations and concerns about supply bottlenecks. Rare earths play an important role in wind power, armaments, medicine, electromobility and the electronics industry. As an investor, one should be aware of these risks.
