Lockheed Martin, Volatus Aerospace, DroneShield: The Billion-Dollar Race for Drone Supremacy
Wars are changing rapidly. Drones are taking over reconnaissance and attack missions, autonomous systems are making increasingly more decisions on their own, and traditional weapons systems are being integrated with artificial intelligence and new sensors. At the same time, demand for technologies that can detect and neutralize enemy aircraft at an early stage is surging. This is creating a new billion-dollar market for the defence industry, spanning precision weapons to autonomous drones and electronic countermeasures.

Artemis Gold, Desert Gold and i-80 Gold – Gold Rush 2.0 Begins
Gold has long since evolved from a mere crisis hedge into a strategic asset. Central banks are expanding their holdings, geopolitical tensions are driving the demand for independent reserves, and investors are seeking protection against inflation and currency risks. According to the World Gold Council, 89% of the reserve managers surveyed expect central bank gold holdings to rise over the next twelve months. At the same time, mining supply is responding only slowly despite high prices. This could further intensify the competition for large deposits.

Breakthroughs, Production Launches and Billion-Dollar Contracts – Almonty Industries, Secunet Security Networks, Viking Therapeutics
Strong clinical trial data, the launch of a strategically important raw-materials production facility, and a potential billion-dollar contract are driving market activity. The three companies presented today could benefit from long-term megatrends such as obesity therapies, secure supply chains, and rising defense spending. However, high growth opportunities are offset by clinical risks, operational challenges, and ambitious valuations.

Drone Warfare Reshuffles the Deck: Rheinmetall Struggles, DroneShield Reinvents Itself and Volatus Aerospace Passes the First Blind Flight
A switch is flipped, and suddenly drones that were once feared lose their bearings. On battlefields around the world, a simple frequency jamming is often enough to disable the GPS navigation systems widely used in drones completely. This situation is forcing the entire drone industry to rethink its approach and is opening up new opportunities. Those who can navigate reliably despite jammers are prepared for the future. We present the latest developments at Rheinmetall, DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace.

Stocks for the Defense and Hydrogen Boom: Steyr Motors, Rheinmetall and dynaCERT
Some industries, and specific companies within them, require closer analysis. That is why today we are taking a closer look at two companies in the defense sector and one in the cleantech/hydrogen sector. Austrian engine manufacturer Steyr Motors is currently grappling with operational headwinds and technical challenges. The German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall is fundamentally on track to set new records, but it is currently hovering at a key price threshold and struggling to break through. The Canadian cleantech company dynaCERT continues to work toward a global breakthrough with its innovative emissions technology. Below, we dive into the balance sheets, margins and future prospects of these three stocks.

Tanks, Ships, and Ammunition: How Rheinmetall, Renk, thyssenkrupp, TKMS and Power Metallic Mines Can Make Your Portfolio Bulletproof
Geopolitical upheavals are throwing global markets into turmoil and forcing investors to rethink their strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear: The European defence industry is heading toward a massive wave of market consolidation. However, disillusionment is setting in among the defence industry's former high-flyers following the initial hype, as the internal work required for integration is far from complete and operational potential has been overestimated. Completely detached from this trend is the Essen-based maritime division, which has secured a front-row seat thanks to a government deal worth billions. A massive fleet order is injecting a whole new dynamic into the sector. Naturally, strategic raw materials are also taking centre stage, since without them, not a single tank can roll, or a single ship can be launched. In this segment, the wheat is currently being separated from the chaff, as concrete facts and proven reserves far outpace utopian dreams of the future. Investors who want to profit from this tension and build a crisis-proof portfolio must now spread their risks extremely wisely across the globe.

Tungsten Shortage: Almonty Secures Sandvik Deal – New US Defense Rules Raise Pressure on Lockheed & Co.
In extreme operating conditions, cutting-edge technology relies on materials that push the boundaries of physics. Whether in ammunition, engines, or milling heads that machine titanium blocks for stealth jets—there is no getting around tungsten. With the highest melting point of any pure metal and an enormous density, the element is considered indispensable for industry and the defence sector. Yet, of all things, the West is almost left high and dry when it comes to this key component. Beijing controls over three-quarters of global production and also dominates downstream processing. However, price spikes and stricter trade rules are now shaking the industry awake. At the centre of it all is the US tungsten specialist Almonty Industries.

Lockheed Martin, Almonty Industries, Rheinmetall: Defense Boom Meets Tungsten Shortage
The global defense boom is entering its next phase. Growth is no longer driven solely by new orders, but by how quickly companies can ramp up production capacity. However, missiles, aircraft, and armoured vehicles require large quantities of strategic materials. Tungsten, in particular, is virtually irreplaceable for many military applications because of its extreme hardness and heat resistance. As Western defense contractors expand their manufacturing, control over secure sources of raw materials is therefore increasingly becoming a strategic issue.

Defence Spending Boom: BAE Systems, Volatus Aerospace and AeroVironment in Focus
Governments worldwide have approved major increases in defence spending. This applies particularly to NATO members, but also to other Western allies. Despite its high debt levels, the US remains the most attractive market. Alongside conventional defence systems, however, new technologies are increasingly coming into focus, including drone warfare as well as systems designed to defend against drone attacks. Today, we take a look at the stocks of BAE Systems, Volatus Aerospace and AeroVironment.

Gas Prices Above EUR 2.50? Nel ASA, Bayer, MustGrow and K+S in the Spotlight
Created and Published on Behalf of MustGrow Biologics Corp.
The ongoing debate over rising energy costs and the transition toward a greener economy is increasingly reaching gas stations and supermarket shelves. If gasoline prices remain sustainably above EUR 2.50, agricultural producers in particular will come under enormous pressure. Food production remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, as tractors and harvesters are traditionally powered by agricultural diesel. Higher fuel prices therefore directly increase the cost of producing and transporting our daily food. At the same time, the agricultural sector faces the enormous challenge of reducing its reliance on conventional chemicals and fertilizers and finding more sustainable alternatives. This transformation requires innovative approaches at the intersection of the energy and agricultural sectors. Companies such as Nel ASA are therefore moving into focus, as green hydrogen can play a key role in decarbonizing the agricultural sector and producing cleaner fuels. Specialists such as MustGrow Biologics are also gaining importance by developing biological crop protection products designed to replace chemical alternatives. The traditional fertilizer giant K+S is likewise a key player in the rapidly evolving sector of sustainable food. Where are the opportunities for investors?
