TKMS Keeps Soaring! When Will DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace Take Off Again?
Nearly 50% gains in just a few weeks. TKMS is currently riding a wave of success, and analysts believe the stock has further upside potential. The company is a prime example of the comeback staged by traditional defence stocks in recent weeks. By contrast, many drone stocks continue to struggle. It seems like a strange disconnect, since few would dispute that drones and counter-drone systems are playing an increasingly important role, not only in current conflict zones. Accordingly, the investment needs of armed forces and security agencies are likely to remain substantial in the coming years. So when will companies such as Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield take off again?

Gold Rush 2.0: Between Record Cash Flows, Permitting Boosts, and Massive Leverage Opportunities – Agnico Eagle, B2Gold and Desert Gold
The gold price has stabilized above USD 4,000, driving strong movements in the mining sector. While established industry giants are posting historic cash flow records thanks to high prices or triggering significant share price jumps through new mining permits, smaller explorers are also repeatedly coming to the forefront. In particular, companies on the verge of making the leap from pure explorers to high-margin producers are currently still trading at striking valuation discounts. A look at three current industry examples reveals where the major opportunities and risks currently lie.

Drones, Energy Crisis and NASDAQ! DroneShield, HPQ Silicon, Siemens Energy and Nordex in Focus
All quiet on the western front! Whether it is war, bankruptcies, or new tariffs, the party goes on! The drone sector, booming thanks to increased defence spending, stands in stark contrast to the simmering EU energy crisis, which continues to pose major challenges for Brussels. Counter-drone specialist DroneShield is experiencing a massive surge in demand and orders in the field of electronic warfare, yet its share price is falling significantly. Canadian company HPQ Silicon is also benefiting from the West's need to independently establish critical supply chains for high-purity silicon and innovative battery materials. Siemens Energy also sits at the epicentre of the infrastructure transition, with its historically full order books serving as an unshakable engine of growth amid the energy crunch. This sustained rebound is flanked by Hamburg-based wind power pioneer Nordex, which is reporting double-digit margin improvements. This compelling combination of high-tech defence, clean energy generation, and raw material sovereignty is attracting substantial capital directly into investors' coffers. We take a closer look at four future-oriented sector favourites.

Is Desert Gold Poised for a Re-Rating and Price Surge? RWE and Allianz on Track for Record Highs: Three Stocks Under the Microscope
Gold is once again trading just under USD 4,400 per ounce, offering Desert Gold Ventures an ideal environment to make the leap from explorer to producer.

Insurer Allianz is delivering record profits and generous capital returns, though the DAX-listed stock is already trading near its all-time high. Three stocks, three risk categories—and clear catalysts for each. We take a closer look.

Gold Fever Is Rising: China Curbs Paper Gold – Time to Bet on Barrick Mining, Desert Gold and B2Gold?
The correction in gold is over. The next rally is on the horizon. US jobs data came in significantly worse than expected and has sharply reduced expectations for Fed interest rate hikes. In addition, the ongoing conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz are driving prices higher. In China, retail investors are no longer allowed to own paper gold. At the same time, central banks are buying gold. This combination of factors has driven the price of the precious metal significantly higher again, and technical resistance levels have been cleared, leaving the path upward open. Today, we look at three companies that could benefit from the renewed rally: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and B2Gold.

Dividend Yield or Growth Potential? The Opportunities Offered by Bayer, BASF, and Volatus Aerospace
The war in Ukraine remains a source of uncertainty that continues to weigh on global markets. Russia and Ukraine are continuing their attacks on infrastructure and industrial facilities, while diplomatic solutions are still nowhere in sight. For investors, this means that energy prices, commodity markets, and security-related sectors remain vulnerable to sudden news developments. In particular, defence and aerospace stocks, as well as companies focused on autonomous and security-related technologies, including drones, stand to benefit from rising defence budgets and the growing need for technological independence. Investors entering the market at this time should therefore consider this underlying geopolitical tension as a permanent factor in their risk assessment. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at Bayer, BASF, and Volatus today.

Almonty Industries, Deutz, and GFT: Strong Upside Potential Thanks to Tungsten, Defense, and AI
Commodities, defense, and artificial intelligence are among the major stock market themes of our time. Three companies are currently making headlines in these areas.

Engine manufacturer Deutz is establishing a second pillar in the defense sector through a multi-billion-euro acquisition. And software specialist GFT is demonstrating for the first time on a large scale that it can generate revenue with its own AI solutions. Three stocks with strong drivers for price growth—but very different risks.

Commodity Stocks on the Verge of a Breakout? First Majestic Silver, Globex Mining and B2Gold in Focus
Until recently, markets largely took it for granted that US interest rates would rise this year. But several factors now point in the opposite direction, not least Donald Trump's calls for lower rates. More importantly, the economic data is increasingly arguing against a rate hike, even though inflation remains elevated and above the Federal Reserve's target range. Most recently, it was the weak US jobs data that fueled the markets. Instead of creating new jobs, the US economy is currently seeing employment decline. For precious metals, this provided an additional boost following an already strong start to the week. Investors may therefore want to position themselves early, as the next rally in the sector could already be underway. Today, we take a closer look at First Majestic Silver, Globex Mining and B2Gold.
