A Breakout That Was Predicted: How AI Is Leading Volatus Aerospace, SoftBank, and SAP Out of Their Downward Trends
Three broken downward trends, one common catalyst: artificial intelligence. For Volatus Aerospace, SoftBank, and SAP, the chart picture looks completely different from what it did just a few weeks ago—and in all three cases, there is a strong fundamental story behind it. The Canadian drone specialist is securing major new contracts from the defence sector, the Japanese investment holding company is benefiting from the upcoming Anthropic IPO, and the German software giant is proving with strong cloud figures that it should be counted among the AI winners rather than its victims. Three completely different business models, three trend reversals—and the question of how much potential these stocks still hold.

Eldorado Gold, Globex Mining, USA Rare Earth – The West's Independence Is Growing
Gold is in a long-term uptrend; copper is becoming increasingly important as power grids, data centres, and AI infrastructure expand; and the West is trying to reduce its dependence on China for rare earths. At the same time, supply security and geopolitical risks are coming into sharper focus. This is fundamentally changing how mineral deposits are valued. What matters most is no longer just what is being mined today, but who has access to large resources, who can develop new deposits, and who can control the supply chains that will become indispensable for future energy, digitalization, and industry.

Empty Ammunition Stockpiles, Tight Tungsten Supply: Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin Set to Benefit
As geopolitical conflicts intensify once again and NATO countries ramp up defence spending, ammunition supplies are increasingly running low. This is making tungsten ever more important. Without this critical raw material, armour-piercing ammunition, precision missiles and high-performance tools cannot be produced. Starting in 2027, US procurement rules will also require supply chains independent of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This is redirecting billions of dollars and intensifying the race for secure sources. Against this backdrop, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall, and Lockheed Martin are moving into focus. All three companies stand to benefit from the realignment of the Western defence industry.

Oil Price Shock! New Tailwind for Hydrogen Stocks! Buy thyssenkrupp nucera, Nel ASA, or dynaCERT Now?
While the world appears to be gradually coming to terms with the problems in the Strait of Hormuz, recent developments in Yemen could bring the next shock to the oil market. The Houthi rebels, allied with Iran, have expanded their position at the strategically important Bab al-Mandab and now control, among other areas, the island of Perim/Mayun at the entrance to the Red Sea. This increases the risk to another major shipping route. Saudi Arabia has already shut down a pipeline. One potential beneficiary of current developments in the oil market is dynaCERT, with its technology to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Against this backdrop, the company's participation in IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026, which begins tomorrow, could hardly come at a better time. Analysts are recommending the stock as a "Buy", and the investment case is taking shape. Hydrogen stocks are also back in the spotlight. Analysts also recommend buying thyssenkrupp nucera.

The Anode Is the Key: How Ferroglobe, Wacker Chemie and HPQ Silicon Aim to Break China's Market Dominance
Anyone getting into an electric vehicle today takes a range of several hundred kilometres and fast charging on the highway for granted. Yet while EVs may be relatively straightforward to use today, their supply chains have weak points. While Western buyers focused for years on cathode metals such as lithium and cobalt, Beijing has secured almost complete control over the anode. Without graphite from the Far East, nearly every Western battery factory would currently be at a standstill. The International Energy Agency (IEA) puts China's share of global anode material production capacity at 97%. For the West, the way forward lies in innovative materials such as silicon and its smart application. We take a closer look at innovative business models.

The Drone Threat Is Growing! Volatus Aerospace, Rheinmetall and Deutz in Focus
Geopolitical upheaval is reshaping the defence sector. What long seemed like a scene from a movie has long since become reality. Drones are increasingly being spotted over critical infrastructure, airports, and military facilities. This underscores the need for high-performance drone defence systems. Volatus Aerospace is one of the highly specialized defence tech companies offering a complete ecosystem in this key industry. The latest major contract from the Canadian government impressively underscores the business potential. At the same time, established industry giants like Rheinmetall are sitting on record-high order books, yet their share prices continue to correct. The crucial question is increasingly which sectors are driving growth and how margins are developing. Through a strategic acquisition, the long-established engine manufacturer Deutz is now also focusing on the defence sector. The stock market likes this. Which stock will take off next?

Defence and the Price of Growth: AeroVironment, Rheinmetall, and Volatus Aerospace in the Spotlight
The war in Ukraine has exposed many of the promises made by the traditional defence industry. When expensive weapons systems are neutralized by swarms of low-cost drones, long-held notions of military strength can quickly evaporate. Satellite navigation fails due to jamming, communications links break down, and chains of command are disrupted. On battlefields in Ukraine, huge tanks often look like beetles that have fallen onto their backs. A shift in thinking is therefore necessary. What is needed today are autonomous drones that can independently target objectives while flying at low altitude or take on other tasks. The Western defence industry needs to rethink its approach.

Newmont and Barrick Mining Are Struggling with Costs – Kobo Resources Sharpens Its Profile and Targets Tomorrow's Gold
When the gold price breaks through the USD 4,000-per-ounce mark, the stocks of the mining giants once again become attractive to many investors. But even the shares of the largest mining companies are not without risks. A gold mine is a dwindling resource: every ounce mined reduces reserves. While Barrick Mining and Newmont are currently generating very strong profits, they too face challenges. Securing a steady supply of new resources is becoming increasingly difficult. This is where agile exploration companies come in, targeting tomorrow's gold reserves with smart exploration methods.

BMW in Crisis, Renk Corrects! Will Volatus Aerospace Become the Stock of the Hour on the Drone Hype?
Global stock markets remain challenging overall, driven by ongoing crises and wars. Today, we take a closer look at three companies and their stocks that would normally be potential holdings in growth-oriented portfolios. We start with Augsburg-based transmission specialist Renk, whose stock has recently been punished by the market despite strong fundamentals. We then examine the already well-advanced but painful transformation at Bavarian flagship automaker BMW, which has recently shocked investors with weak margins. Finally, we present a company that is still something of a "hidden gem" for many investors: Volatus Aerospace. The Canadian drone specialist has just reached an important milestone and, from a technical analysis perspective, could be on the verge of a breakout. Buckle up - things could get exciting!

A Shift in the Portfolio: Why Lahontan Gold Could Outperform Heavyweights Xiaomi and TKMS
The Chinese conglomerate Xiaomi is launching a major offensive with new foldable smartphones and electric vehicles, yet its share price remains under pressure. Meanwhile, the Kiel-based defence specialist TKMS is seeing a noticeable pullback after reaching an all-time high last August. Is the sell-off in the defence stock merely a healthy breather, or is a deeper correction on the horizon? Beyond these two companies, a smaller stock in the commodities sector could attract even more attention, as Lahontan Gold appears poised for a technical breakout after a prolonged consolidation phase. Backed by solid metrics from its initial PEA, the stock is now experiencing a dynamic upward trend. We take a closer look at all three stocks and highlight which one could potentially have the edge as a portfolio holding.
