Buy Recommendations for Almonty, Micron, and TKMS! Defense, Commodities, and Semiconductors with Upside Potential!
Compelling buying opportunities are emerging across several sectors. In commodities, Almonty Industries stands out as it ramps up production at its tungsten mine in South Korea, with revenue and earnings expected to accelerate sharply in the second half of the year. Analysts forecast a net profit of CAD 854.6 million next year, implying a forward P/E ratio of just 4.34—a valuation many consider too low for the only significant Western tungsten supplier. Analysts recommend buying. TKMS appears well positioned among the struggling defense companies. Analysts highlight its substantial order backlog, which is expected to provide strong earnings visibility well into the 2040s. Micron remains a higher-risk opportunity. Following its historic share price rally, investors are concerned about potential overcapacity. Micron is also investing billions, but analysts remain reassuring.

The Drone Revolution: Palantir and Lockheed Martin Forced to Innovate—Volatus Aerospace Follows Ukraine's Lead
The days when tanks weighing several metric tons or extremely expensive fighter jets determined victory or defeat on the battlefield are over. As a look at modern warfare shows, it is now primarily the seamless interaction between hardware and software that determines actual success. Those who cannot coordinate algorithms and sensor technology in real time will fall behind. Ukraine is currently demonstrating this impressively, as it now launches more drones for counterattacks against Russia than the aggressor itself. This illustrates that, for NATO, security also means building an agile defence industry that can respond flexibly to requirements. We take a look at three companies in the industry and highlight opportunities.

AeroVironment, Volatus Aerospace, Kratos Defense—Canada Takes on the US Drone Giants
Drones have evolved from a niche product into one of the defence industry's most important future markets. Billions are pouring into autonomous reconnaissance systems, combat drones, and modern defence technologies. While established US corporations are winning ever-larger government contracts, a Canadian challenger, backed by civilian cash flow, NATO business, and new production capacity, could be on the verge of its next growth spurt.

Another Setback for Rheinmetall? DroneShield Sounds the Alarm as Volatus Aerospace Pushes Ahead
Is the next German-French defence project headed for failure? In an interview with Welt am Sonntag, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger warns of a possible French withdrawal from the MGCS ground combat system planned with Germany. This would mark the second major strategic setback for Rheinmetall. Drone specialist Volatus Aerospace is currently beating the drum hard to keep its order pipeline full. In the UK, the company is currently showcasing its expertise in aviation, autonomous systems, aerial reconnaissance, training, and mission support. Previously, Volatus had demonstrated its solutions in Canada, where the Arctic and maritime regions place special demands on robust, networked security solutions. The threat posed by drones is growing, yet many airports and operators of critical infrastructure appear to be inadequately prepared. A new study by DroneShield reveals significant gaps in detection, defence, and legal authority.

These Are the Leaders in a League of Their Own! Despite price surges at Almonty, Micron, and Aixtron, Is There More Upside Ahead?
Over the past 12 months, stocks in the AI, commodities, and defence sectors have, on the whole, been investor favourites. Price surges were increasingly common. In the meantime, a correction set in that affected all sectors for various reasons. Despite rising defence budgets, investor sentiment toward defence stocks has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks. Meanwhile, signs of overheating in the AI sector have eased, although the financial results of leading AI companies continue to reflect a strong long-term structural growth trend. Commodity stocks also corrected after a spectacular run. Almonty Industries has been a notable exception. The company continues its relentless rise toward becoming the largest producer of the critical metal tungsten in the Western world—a truly unique competitive position. So, where do these market leaders go from here?

The Billion-Dollar Industry You Cannot Afford to Miss: DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, and Kratos Defense
The era of weapon systems weighing several metric tons is coming to an end. Recent conflicts, from Ukraine to the Middle East, have elevated the drone from a tactical tool to a decisive factor in modern warfare. At the same time, more and more autonomous aerial vehicles are being deployed in the civilian sector, from inspecting critical infrastructure to logistics. Given that IDTechEx forecasts the market will double within a decade, the drone market should be at the top of investors' watch lists. Three companies could play a particularly decisive role in shaping this transformation: DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions.

Why the Tungsten Shortage Threatens SpaceX and Siemens Healthineers—and How Almonty Is Becoming the West's Top Supplier
When technical necessity meets scarcity, it is not just engineers who take notice—the capital markets, too, have long been grappling with supply chains and their vulnerability to crises. This is particularly evident in the case of tungsten. This heavy metal is equally essential for modern space travel and innovative medical technology. Because Beijing is tightening the reins on tungsten exports, a metal also considered military-grade, the high-tech industry, from SpaceX to Siemens Healthineers, is feeling the heat. The search for crisis-resistant sources of raw materials is becoming a matter of survival for these corporations. Almonty, the leading Western tungsten producer, is perfectly positioned to benefit from this situation.

China's Tungsten Grip Begins to Loosen—Almonty Industries Strengthens Defence Supply Chains as RENK and Boeing Secure Multi-Billion-Dollar Orders
The wars in Ukraine and Iran have exposed a critical weakness in the West's technology and defence architecture. Without fire-resistant tungsten, even the most advanced fighter jets remain grounded, and the most precise guided missiles are rendered useless. While combat operations are depleting stockpiles, China has effectively secured a monopoly over the entire supply chain, from the mine to high-performance components. This double squeeze, driven by war-induced demand and Beijing's control over supply, is transforming this critical material into a strategic instrument of power. On the other hand, these tensions are fueling a boom in the defence industry. Meanwhile, these geopolitical tensions are fueling a boom across the defence industry. We take a closer look at the current outlook for Almonty Industries, RENK Group, and Boeing.

Ukraine – Iran – NATO: The Battle in the Skies Gives Wings to RTX and Lockheed; Rheinmetall and Volatus Aerospace on the Rise!
As long as geopolitical conflicts continue, defence stocks have it easy. That is because they automatically come into focus when new government programs are launched to boost defence capabilities. In July, it was the NATO conference in Ankara. Government officials in attendance surrounded Donald Trump, as the US is the leader in air defence—and this is precisely where both NATO and Ukraine are falling short. When it comes to drones, however, the former Soviet state has made great strides. An entire drone industry was built from the ground up in no time at all. And for several weeks now, they have been piercing through Russia's defensive perimeter and penetrating deep into its energy processing facilities. Ukraine has already taken a quarter of Russia's oil refining capacity out of commission. The West views this progress as a welcome easing of tensions, but is stepping up its investments even further. Chancellor Merz, for example, is ordering the highly sought-after Tomahawk missiles from the US and is even participating in the latest French nuclear exercise. Just as politicians are, investors should also be in the starting blocks to ride the new wave of investment.
