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.

The New Power in the Skies: Volatus Aerospace, Airbus and OHB in a Stock Analysis
The war in Ukraine has shown just how fundamentally drones, satellites and autonomous systems are transforming modern warfare. At the same time, Europe and Canada are seeking to reduce their dependence on the US and China for security-critical technologies. It is not just established aerospace companies that stand to benefit from this trend. Volatus Aerospace, a small Canadian provider, is also positioning itself in this future-oriented market. Add to that Airbus, the European heavyweight, and OHB, a speculative bet on Europe's sovereignty in space. We take a closer look at these three aerospace specialists in our stock analysis.

DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace, Kratos Defense: Those Protecting the Airspace Are Reaping the Benefits of the New Budgets
A single drone can bring an airport to a standstill. The failed drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport in August 2026 sent shockwaves through Berlin, Brussels and Washington. The incident has jolted policymakers into action. The German government is preparing a package of measures against sabotage, and between January and September 2026, contracts for drone defense totaling more than USD 53 billion were publicly announced worldwide. What was niche technology yesterday is now moving squarely into defense budgets. We therefore take a look at three companies that detect and defend against drones and protect mobile targets: DroneShield, Volatus Aerospace and Kratos Defense.

Defence Stocks Ride the NATO Wave: Boeing, Volatus, Dassault, RTX and DroneShield in Focus
Since Russia's initial actions in Central Europe, the European Union has faced a massive wave of rearmament driven by new NATO requirements, giving the defence industry a significant boost. EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius called for an unprecedented expansion of European capabilities in Brussels to match Russia's enormous production capacity. To achieve this goal, the EU is aiming to produce up to 10 million state-of-the-art FPV drones and 130,000 jet-powered drones annually. In addition, the defence industry is expected to roll out about 1,700 ballistic missiles per year. Industry giants such as Boeing and Dassault are likely to benefit significantly from this massive technological rearmament initiative. At the same time, specialized drone pioneers like Volatus and DroneShield are stepping into the spotlight as demand for unmanned systems and their countermeasures rises dramatically. A newly formed drone alliance between the EU and Ukraine is now set to accelerate the development of these next-generation systems massively. Which stocks could see the biggest gains?

GE Aerospace, Strategic Resources, BASF: Supply Chains Are Becoming a Billion-Dollar Market
Defence, aviation, energy infrastructure, and high-tech are driving demand for specialty metals and high-performance materials. At the same time, concerns in the West are growing about dependence on a handful of supplier countries for critical raw materials and industrial inputs. As a result, billions are no longer flowing solely into new factories but increasingly into securing entire supply chains. Anyone who owns, processes, or uses raw materials to produce indispensable components is taking centre stage strategically.

A Breakout That Was Predicted: How AI Is Leading Volatus Aerospace, SoftBank, and SAP Out of Their Downward Trends
Three broken downward trends, one common catalyst: artificial intelligence. For Volatus Aerospace, SoftBank, and SAP, the chart picture looks completely different from what it did just a few weeks ago—and in all three cases, there is a strong fundamental story behind it. The Canadian drone specialist is securing major new contracts from the defence sector, the Japanese investment holding company is benefiting from the upcoming Anthropic IPO, and the German software giant is proving with strong cloud figures that it should be counted among the AI winners rather than its victims. Three completely different business models, three trend reversals—and the question of how much potential these stocks still hold.

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.

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!
