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.

Aviation Stocks in Focus: Airbus, Volatus Aerospace and Lufthansa
High jet fuel prices, airspace closures due to war or wildfires, and geopolitical factors are making life difficult for companies across the entire aviation sector. Despite these circumstances, however, the markets for drones and civil aviation continue to grow. On the one hand, people want to continue traveling and flying. On the other hand, markets are opening up for both new and established companies with the emergence of redefined flying objects. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Airbus, Volatus Aerospace, and Lufthansa.

Buckle Up for a Short Squeeze: Could Almonty and HelloFresh Follow SpaceX's Rocket Launch?
When short sellers are caught off guard, it can lead to veritable price explosions. Although no supernova was observed at the aerospace company SpaceX last week, it was definitely more than a gentle liftoff: the share price shot up by more than 15% following its quarterly results. Notably high short positions have also recently built up for the tungsten producer Almonty Industries and the meal-kit delivery service HelloFresh. With earnings reports just around the corner for both stocks, these numbers could become the catalyst for an even bigger move.

Dividend Yield or Growth Potential? The Opportunities Offered by Bayer, BASF, and Volatus Aerospace
The war in Ukraine remains a source of uncertainty that continues to weigh on global markets. Russia and Ukraine are continuing their attacks on infrastructure and industrial facilities, while diplomatic solutions are still nowhere in sight. For investors, this means that energy prices, commodity markets, and security-related sectors remain vulnerable to sudden news developments. In particular, defence and aerospace stocks, as well as companies focused on autonomous and security-related technologies, including drones, stand to benefit from rising defence budgets and the growing need for technological independence. Investors entering the market at this time should therefore consider this underlying geopolitical tension as a permanent factor in their risk assessment. Against this backdrop, we take a closer look at Bayer, BASF, and Volatus today.

Almonty Industries, Deutz, and GFT: Strong Upside Potential Thanks to Tungsten, Defense, and AI
Commodities, defense, and artificial intelligence are among the major stock market themes of our time. Three companies are currently making headlines in these areas.

Engine manufacturer Deutz is establishing a second pillar in the defense sector through a multi-billion-euro acquisition. And software specialist GFT is demonstrating for the first time on a large scale that it can generate revenue with its own AI solutions. Three stocks with strong drivers for price growth—but very different risks.

Germany in the Crosshairs: Regulations Slow Down Hensoldt and DroneShield – Is Volatus Aerospace Heading for a Boom in Orders?
A threat is increasingly looming over industrial facilities in Germany, keeping European security authorities on edge: drones. While unmanned aerial vehicles could still be dismissed as harmless toys just a few years ago, the targeted surveillance of critical infrastructure using professional drones paints a completely different picture today. In 2023 alone, authorities recorded at least 446 drone sightings over German military sites, while the number of incidents involving critical infrastructure rose to well over 1,000 by the end of 2025, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. When unmanned systems spy on Bundeswehr facilities unnoticed or collect precise data on gas pipelines, caution is warranted—and this was true even before the incident involving a drone loaded with explosives at Leipzig Airport. We explore potential solutions and highlight exciting companies.
