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.

Drone warfare and armament – Caution with Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and thyssenkrupp, but 150% upside with Antimony Resources
Recent geopolitical events impressively highlight the critical need for strategic metals. While tungsten producer Almonty has surged by over 1,000%, risk-aware investors are now turning their attention to Antimony Resources. With properties that are indispensable for ammunition, electronics, and protection systems, antimony is emerging as a key strategic metal for modern defense and high-tech industries. The heavy reliance of Western nations on a few producing countries, such as China, is increasingly bringing security of supply into the focus of geopolitical debates. Without a stable supply chain, there is a risk of bottlenecks that threaten not only defense capabilities but also technological sovereignty. Investors and industry players are therefore increasingly seeking alternative sources and recycling solutions to meet rising demand in a sustainable manner. Meanwhile, defense stocks are currently consolidating at a high level. Is the rally now entering its final phase?

How to profit from the arms race: Rheinmetall on the ground and Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield in the air
The global security landscape is undergoing a historic shift. Driven by geopolitical tensions, modern warfare is moving into the digital realm, with drones emerging as a crucial key technology. This paradigm shift is creating a billion-dollar market for defense systems and offering investors exceptional growth opportunities. While defense giant Rheinmetall strengthens the backbone of national defense with conventional technologies, specialists like Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield are positioning themselves at the forefront of this technological revolution.

NATO without drone defense! Opportunity for Rheinmetall, DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace!
Is a new rally starting for drone stocks? The shooting down and crash of Russian drones in Poland has painfully highlighted NATO's vulnerability in this area. Recent years have shown how unmanned aerial vehicles are revolutionizing warfare. However, NATO appears to have a lot of catching up to do in terms of its drone inventory, detection and defense. Volatus Aerospace—which trains pilots and monitors borders, among other things—and drone defense specialist DroneShield should benefit from this. Both stocks had multiplied in value at the beginning of the summer. After the setback, prices could now rise again. Rheinmetall is also becoming increasingly involved in this area. What does Germany's largest defense contractor have to offer?

Big Short on defense? Long in gold! Caution with Renk, Deutz, and Airbus - Revaluation for Desert Gold imminent
After a record quarter on the stock markets, caution is now called for. Inflation remains stubbornly high, and the growing national debt is fueling the rising prices. This will worsen the situation for growth stocks, particularly, as hopes of interest rate cuts look bleak in the short term. Defense stocks have soared on the back of the government's trillion-dollar check, with heavenly balance sheet figures expected for them in the future. In the short term, however, they have already priced in the year 2030 in their share prices, which will result in a slowdown in the current 2025. In this environment, gold can no longer be held back because when currencies offer less and less purchasing power, precious metals are in demand. We take a critical view of Renk, Steyr, and Airbus. For Desert Gold, the boosters should ignite soon!
