Cancer Breakthrough and Defense Boom: BioNTech and Moderna Take Off! Can Volatus Aerospace Follow Suit?
In the capital markets, two entirely different future-oriented industries are simultaneously stepping into the spotlight. While in the biotech sector, hopes for groundbreaking cancer therapies are fueling a massive comeback for companies such as Moderna and BioNTech, a highly exciting turnaround candidate may be emerging in the specialized field of unmanned aviation. Investors are rightly asking themselves whether the recent optimism surrounding biotech stocks is underpinned by fundamental strength or whether it is merely a short-lived flash in the pan followed by a sell-off. Those who can now read the right signals in financial data and chart patterns may be able to identify which stocks are poised for the next major trend movements. We take a closer look for you.

Ondas, Volatus Aerospace, Kratos Defense: The Drone Boom Enters Its Next Phase
Drones have transformed modern warfare, and now the next phase is beginning. Instead of individual high-tech systems, the focus is increasingly on low costs, high volumes, and rapidly scalable production capacities. Billions are flowing into autonomous aircraft, reconnaissance, and new propulsion systems. At the same time, manufacturers are expanding their factories or acquiring additional capacity. Three companies are positioning themselves for the defence market, where scale and speed are becoming increasingly important.

Tungsten Shock for Sandvik and Lockheed Martin – Almonty in a Perfect Position
When military equipment or industrial tools reach their performance limits, a highly sought-after heavy metal often comes to the rescue. With a melting point of 3,422 °C, tungsten withstands even extreme heat and has a density nearly identical to that of gold. Yet it is precisely with this key raw material, tungsten, that Western industrialized nations are coming under pressure. Beijing controls over 80% of global production and has significantly tightened export controls in recent years. Since China itself became a net importer in 2025 and the Western defense industry faces strict procurement bans, a race is underway for mining capacity in secure jurisdictions. This is where Almonty Industries comes into play, as it is considered a leading Western tungsten producer. We take a closer look at the market.

Excitement is Building: SpaceX, Volatus, Airbus and DroneShield are supplying NATO and seeing their profits soar
As of July 31, 2026, the Bundeswehr will grow to approximately 186,700 service members. This means that, as of mid-year, the number of military personnel will fall within the target range for 2026 growth—between 186,000 and 190,000 "troops". At the same time, this marks a new high in approximately 13 years. Furthermore, the transatlantic military alliance is responding to the changed geopolitical security situation by making historic investments in defense and rapidly advancing the modernization of its armed forces. At the heart of this strategic realignment is a profound technological transformation that merges traditional defense equipment with state-of-the-art aerospace technology. In addition to SpaceX, Airbus and DroneShield, the Canadian technology company Volatus Aerospace is also experiencing rapidly rising demand for its sophisticated drone systems for tactical reconnaissance along external borders. The synergy between agile tech pioneers and established defense giants is creating a highly efficient ecosystem for defending the Western Hemisphere. For investors, this booming sector offers a rare combination of defensive stability and exponential growth potential. We take a closer look.

Ticking Time Bomb in the Skies: Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace and DroneShield Stand to Benefit from Rising Security Threats
The incident at Leipzig Airport in early August, where fortunately a drone carrying Semtex explosives could not be detonated, demonstrates just how vulnerable the security infrastructure is—not only in Germany. Although intruders can often be detected, active intervention is sometimes difficult. This emerging threat is driving the multi-billion-dollar market for drone defence technologies. However, operators are facing regulatory grey areas, even as demand soars. So today we are taking a closer look at defence giant Rheinmetall, drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, and counter-drone specialist DroneShield.

New Drones and Space Acrobatics? SpaceX, Power Metallic, Thales and Heidelberger Druck in Flight Mode
The global aerospace and defence industry is currently experiencing an unprecedented technological boom that is completely upending traditional market dynamics. From autonomous systems in the stratosphere to revolutionary launch vehicles in orbit, more and more industries are reaching for the stars. To survive in this fiercely competitive environment, established industry giants and visionary tech pioneers alike must forge new alliances and radically expand their core competencies. A look at current market trends impressively demonstrates that innovation today arises primarily from the synergy between radical high-tech development and high-precision industrial scaling. While NASDAQ newcomer SpaceX is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space with spectacular feats, specialized players like the European Thales Group are driving the modernization of defence systems with advanced sensor and drone technologies. Heidelberger Druck is also showing surprisingly strong momentum as it successfully adapts its time-honoured precision engineering for the future drone production market. And then there are the indispensable critical metals: Power Metallic aims to join the North American supply chain soon. Exciting!

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?

Almonty Industries, Energy Fuels and Antofagasta: China Still Dominates, but These Stocks Are on the Rise
The battle for critical raw materials is becoming a geopolitical power struggle. Defense, AI, power grids, and high-tech industries require enormous quantities of strategic metals, while China controls key parts of the supply chains. The US is now responding with billions in investment and aims to drastically reduce its dependence. This benefits producers who are establishing new Western supply chains for rare earths, tungsten, or copper. Three stocks are particularly in the spotlight.

Apple, Volatus Aerospace and innoscripta: One Giant and Two Rising Stars with Multiplier Potential
Is a company valued on the stock market for what it produces—or for what investors want to see in it? At Apple, the high-margin services business is fueling heated debates over whether the core of its success story actually lies more in software or hardware. Volatus Aerospace, originally a Canadian drone service provider, is on the verge of exactly this leap: moving away from low-margin flight operations toward a software and AI platform for drone countermeasures and defence technology. And innoscripta demonstrates the growth rates possible in the software industry. A look at three very different companies and the question of where the biggest valuation gap between business model and share price lies.

Combat Drones and Tungsten: Rheinmetall, Hensoldt and Almonty Industries at the Heart of the Defense Boom
Global defense budgets continue to rise. With the wars in Ukraine and Iran continuing, ammunition stocks and destroyed military equipment must inevitably be replenished. This is benefiting defense companies such as Rheinmetall, as well as sensor specialists like Hensoldt. The trend is reflected in record order books and rising analyst price targets. But without a secure supply of raw materials, absolutely nothing works in the modern defense industry. This is where Almonty Industries enters the picture. The Canadian-American tungsten producer is helping secure Western supply chains. The company has recently delivered another series of positive updates, and while some of the major defense stocks have already reached demanding valuations, an intriguing technical setup is taking shape at Almonty that could pave the way for further gains. We take a closer look at the latest developments at these three companies. Find out why a strategic metal like tungsten could make all the difference—and why those who own or mine it are likely to be among the winners.
