Rising Rates, ESG & Private Equity: Financing in Extreme Times – Vonovia, RE Royalties, and Mutares
War, destruction, reconstruction. These are all issues closely tied to financing. Clearly, no one is currently thinking about how to rebuild the destroyed buildings, bridges, and power plants in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, or Iran. First, peace must return before new investments in conflict zones can even be considered. The US likely already has dedicated plans for Ukraine, as well as for the Gaza Strip. For the companies RE Royalties, Vonovia, and Mutares, financing questions arise on a different level. Here, return requirements are linked to each individual investment. Often, however, it is not the interest rate of the financing instrument that matters, but rather the attractiveness of the specific project. This is highly interesting for investors who view a sufficient return as the primary criterion for their investment. The charts of these key players are swinging wildly back and forth, creating opportunities for agile investors!

YELLOW CAKE, KAZATOMPROM, AND STALLION URANIUM: THREE WAYS TO PLAY THE URANIUM BOOM
Nuclear power is poised for a boom worldwide. This promises bright prospects for the uranium market. What seemed politically dead is being mercilessly disproved by the reality of exploding energy demand for artificial intelligence and data centers. The price of uranium has more than tripled since 2016, and experts see further potential. For investors, there are three interesting but very different investment opportunities: from the solid stockpiler Yellow Cake to the global market leader Kazatomprom to the promising challenger Stallion Uranium.

From pipeline inspections to defense contracts to drone defense: Why Volatus Aerospace Is Undervalued
Some stocks have two sides. Volatus Aerospace operates a dual-engine business model: a commercial services division generating stable, recurring revenue from energy and infrastructure inspections, and a rapidly expanding defense segment benefiting from NATO contracts and Canada's evolving defense strategy. While many drone companies either sell only hardware or offer only services, Volatus has combined both under one roof. And with a decisive advantage: NATO is right there in the cockpit.

ENTRY OPPORTUNITY in the Drone Sector? NEO Battery Materials Tests in a Military Border Zone
An intriguing entry opportunity is currently emerging in the drone sector with NEO Battery Materials. Amid recent market volatility, shares of this specialist in batteries for drones, robotics, and electric mobility have declined by more than 20%. At the same time, geopolitical conflicts, most recently in the Middle East, continue to highlight the growing strategic importance of drones. NEO's batteries, manufactured in South Korea, have demonstrated in practical tests the potential to significantly extend flight time by up to 100%, while also offering faster charging capabilities. In a recent interview, the company outlined the technological advantages behind these improvements. There is also notable operational progress: NEO is collaborating with the South Korean military to further develop its products, and this is happening at what is arguably one of the world's most critical borders. It can really only be a matter of time before the stock takes off again.

Over 100% Upside Potential? Antimony Resources Positioned to Benefit from Rising Defense Demand
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
According to analyst estimates, Antimony Resources could offer significant upside potential, with price targets implying gains of over 100%. The stock has recently shown notable relative strength, trading near all-time highs while broader markets have come under pressure. There are good reasons for this. Antimony is not only urgently needed for ammunition but is also essential for other key industries. Antimony Resources is currently advancing a promising project in Canada, with an initial resource estimate expected in a few weeks. This could lead to a revaluation of the stock. Analysts recommend buying with a price target of EUR 1.90.

Power Metallic Mines: World-Class Asset at a Bargain Price – Revaluation Underway
The Iran conflict is currently dominating the stock markets. What lies ahead, and how hard will the energy shock hit the global economy? What remains certain is just how fragile commodity supplies and supply chains are. Western governments are pushing to regionalize critical supply chains and thereby reduce dependence on politically unstable regions. Copper and platinum group metals are high on the industrial policy agenda, as they play a significant role in electrification, the hydrogen economy, digitalization, and high-tech. This is exactly where Power Metallic Mines comes into play. The Canadian company owns a large, high-quality polymetallic project in Canada with the potential to become a major, long-term supply source for Western industries. Analysts expect the stock to rise by nearly 200% over the next 12 months!

Tanks, Chips, Missiles: China Tightens the Tap—Almonty Steps Into the Gap
The commodities world has a new overlooked topic. While everyone is discussing helium, a perfect storm is brewing around a far more critical metal: tungsten. It is found in armor-piercing ammunition, rocket nozzles, and every modern memory chip. The defense industry, in particular, urgently needs supplies due to ongoing wars. China is turning off the export tap, prices are skyrocketing, and the West's strategic reserves are dwindling. Almonty Industries, which has been operating unnoticed underground for years, is stepping into this very vacuum. Now its largest mine is coming online, right in the middle of a market desperately searching for alternatives.

Oil Prices Skyrocket: Shell Benefits While Lahontan Gold and Vonovia Hedge Inflation
The war in Iran is sending oil prices skyrocketing, with a 60% surge in just a few weeks. Inflation is returning. What is the best way for investors to protect themselves now? Oil stocks like Shell are benefiting directly from the price shock. Gold has recently pulled back, but this very dip is an opportunity for bold buyers before interest rates start rising. Real estate remains solid, but expensive and sluggish. We look at one company from each category—Shell, Lahontan Gold, and Vonovia—and examine their current situation.

Iran War: Threat for Siemens Energy, Opportunity for Pure One & Plug Power?
The war in the Middle East is driving up energy prices worldwide. Even in the energy self-sufficient US, consumers are feeling rising costs at the gas station, which is accelerating the shift toward renewable energy. Are AI companies possibly rethinking their strategy of relying on gas-fired power plants? Siemens Energy shareholders should keep an eye on this. One potential beneficiary could be Pure One. The small-cap stock combines a diversified cleantech portfolio with a majority stake in Eastern Gas, a promising gas explorer in Australia. Its customers include the German company Heidelberg Materials. Meanwhile, Plug Power is approaching a key resistance level. Is the latest major order enough to break through it? Additionally, the company appears to have discovered retail investors.

Almonty Industries – Strategic Tungsten Opportunity After Market Correction
In many industries, tungsten is emerging as one of the most strategically important raw materials of our time. Due to its high melting point, demand for this critical metal is high across a wide range of sectors, from the defense industry and the aerospace sector to the sport of darts. However, its global availability is currently under serious threat. An unprecedented imbalance between supply and demand, as well as geopolitical tensions, most notably the strict export controls by China, have recently led to a massive shortage and a price surge to as high as USD 2,995 per metric ton unit. Without tungsten, essential technological developments risk coming to a standstill.
