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.

Desert Gold, Barrick Mining and Newmont – Three Gold Stocks Poised for the Next Rally
Gold is back above the USD 4,400 mark. After the precious metal briefly traded below USD 4,000 per ounce at the end of June, it has staged a strong recovery. Although US interest-rate expectations continue to create headwinds, the current price level is enough for many gold companies to generate substantial profits. Things get particularly exciting when a company's growth driver complements the gold market tailwind. Desert Gold is working toward the start of production, Barrick is preparing for an IPO, and Newmont is turning high selling prices into billions in profits. Three stocks for the next gold boom—each with very different starting points.

Saxony-Anhalt, Leipzig, NATO and Gold – Here We Go! Rheinmetall, Renk, DRC Gold and CSG Take Center Stage
There is a great deal of activity on the international stage, with several players adding to the tension. In Saxony-Anhalt and around the Leipzig logistics hub, everything is currently revolving around strategic decisions in defence policy with far-reaching implications. NATO is pulling the strings behind the scenes, while demand for security and tangible assets such as gold is reaching new all-time highs. In this highly volatile market environment, defence giant Rheinmetall is taking centre stage with new major contracts and capacity expansions. Close behind are gearbox specialist Renk and the Czech defence group CSG, both showing strong growth. At the same time, DRC Gold is adding the necessary spice to the speculative play on scarce raw materials and crisis protection. This mix of geopolitical necessity and economic dynamism gives the current situation a particularly explosive quality. Now, more than ever, it is essential to set the right course for your investment portfolio!

Almonty: Analysts Speak Out – Airbus and Sandvik Need to Diversify Their Tungsten Supply
When huge turbines roar on the tarmac and passenger jets weighing several tonnes take off, few people think about how modern aeroplanes are manufactured and what is crucial to the process. Yet one extremely durable metal can determine the pace of modern aviation: tungsten. Without tungsten, the aviation industry's assembly lines could grind to a sudden halt. With a density close to that of gold and the highest melting point of any element, this critical metal can withstand extreme conditions. It is therefore essential not only in aerospace but also in a range of other future technologies, including fusion energy. Yet while the West is developing and building the latest-generation aircraft, China controls more than 80% of global tungsten production. This concentration of supply represents a highly dangerous strategic risk—but there is a solution.

Aya Gold & Silver, Lahontan Gold, Contango: Precious Metals Set For Further Gains
High gold and silver prices are reshaping the economics of the mining sector. Deposits that attracted little attention just a few years ago can suddenly become economically viable. At the same time, producers are taking advantage of the strong market environment to expand their resource base and advance new projects. Things become particularly interesting where exploration is uncovering additional ounces or where previously mined material can now be processed economically.

Buy Drone Stocks Now? Rheinmetall, Steyr Motors and Volatus Aerospace Target a Billion-Dollar Market
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global market for drones and counter-drone systems is expected to grow from USD 60.48 billion in 2025 to USD 155.13 billion by 2030. Despite the projected increase of around 156%, drone stocks are currently struggling on the stock market. This could create an exciting counter-cyclical buying opportunity. Volatus Aerospace has recently opened the door to the domestic market in Canada. As much as CAD 6.6 billion is expected to be channelled into strengthening the Canadian defence industry over the next five years. In addition, the drone specialist has announced potential NATO contracts. Rheinmetall is also making its mark in the drone market. The company recently highlighted its capabilities in hybrid drone defence. In addition, a surveillance drone developed by the Düsseldorf-based group is being tested by the German Armed Forces. Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) could provide fresh momentum for Steyr Motors' stock. After all, framework agreements are already in place.
