Stocks in a Billion-Dollar Frenzy! Siemens Energy at EUR 245? +16% for Deutz! Is Volatus Aerospace Set to Take Off Again?
The stock market is celebrating Deutz's planned billion-euro acquisition. The engine specialist's stock has skyrocketed by 16% in just a few days. With this acquisition, the Cologne-based company aims to diversify its business and gain greater benefit from global defense investments. Volatus Aerospace serves both military and civilian applications with its drone platform. The potential is enormous. The stock market is waiting for major orders, which, according to the Volatus CEO, are on the horizon. This should allow the stock to take off again. Analysts also see significant upside potential for Siemens Energy. The planned spin-off of the industrial business is being well received. Price targets range up to EUR 245.

Perspective Shift: Long-Term Growth at a Discount? Almonty Industries, Renk and Rheinmetall After the Correction
The Western defense boom is running into an often-overlooked bottleneck: tungsten. While China dominates the global market and has restricted exports, Almonty is ramping up operations at the strategically important Sangdong mine in South Korea. At full capacity, the mine is designed to supply around 40% of global tungsten demand outside China. This strategic position, record-high tungsten prices, and a substantial cash reserve, which the company is currently using for share buybacks, underpin Almonty's significant strategic flexibility. Renk and Rheinmetall, as defense contractors, provide the industrial counterpart. Packed order books, rising margins, and a defense cycle that could extend well beyond the current decade support the sector. But can these companies actually handle such enormous growth? Does the recent share price correction now offer an opportunity, or have future expectations simply become too ambitious?

Drone War Coming to Our Doorstep? BAE Systems, Volatus Aerospace and Kratos Defense Set for a Boom?
More and more drones are being spotted and neutralized in NATO territory—some now even equipped with explosives. The relentless war of attrition between Russia and Ukraine, along with the aggressor’s threats, are forcing strategists in the West to rethink their approach. Costly weapons systems are no longer sufficient when swarms of inexpensive drones overwhelm air defenses. What began as a necessity-driven commitment to drones has long since evolved into a full-fledged industry in the West. We present key players and current developments.

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!
