Antimony as the "Invisible Glue" of Industry and Defence: Antimony Resources, BASF, and Lockheed Martin
Created and published on behalf of Antimony Resources Corp.
A relatively unknown semimetal that for decades remained in the shadow of the commodity giants has suddenly emerged as the strategic nerve center of Western industry. Antimony is essential for flame retardants in electronics, heat-resistant cables in fighter jets, and modern battery systems; without this material, key technologies cannot be produced. When China effectively halted exports in December 2024, this catapulted the price of antimony skyward in a very short time and exposed a critical dependency. As the West searches for alternative supply chains, established corporations are coming under pressure. That is why today we are taking a closer look at the up-and-coming antimony producer Antimony Resources, the industrial conglomerate BASF, and the defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

100% Upside Potential, a Downgrade, and a Sell-Off: Renk, OHB, and Almonty
Analysts see around 100% upside potential in shares of Almonty Industries. Following discussions with the company's CEO, they have raised both their earnings estimates and their price target to USD 33. Even under what they describe as conservative assumptions, the stock is expected to trade at a 2027 P/E ratio of below 10. Analysts are less optimistic about Renk Group. While the transmission manufacturer is expected to deliver solid growth, its valuation is no longer considered attractive. In addition, the long-term shift in defense procurement from tanks toward drones could become a headwind for the company. As a result, the stock has been downgraded. The situation at OHB is even more dramatic. The aerospace company's shares have fallen by more than 50% in roughly two months. Following the recently completed capital increase, investors are now expected to refocus on the company's underlying operational performance.

Portfolio Booster 2026: Staying Ahead of NATO's Military Build-Up with Rheinmetall, Volatus Aerospace, and TKMS
The era of tank divisions is largely over. Today, air and sea domains are merging into a networked battlefield where autonomous drones, AI-powered sensors, and maritime surveillance systems are the decisive forces. The NATO summit in Ankara and Germany's record budget of EUR 108 billion are massively accelerating this technological transformation. For investors, this means focusing on the next generation of air and maritime defence. Three companies embody the full scope of this transformation: the full-service provider Rheinmetall, the agile drone pioneer Volatus Aerospace, and the maritime systems partner TKMS.

Almonty, Sandvik, and Airbus: Three Stocks for the Battle Over Critical Raw Materials
Tungsten has long been a niche topic on the stock market. But this extremely hard metal is used, among other things, in cutting tools, semiconductors, aviation, and defense—and China dominates the supply chain. As a result, the critical raw material has become systemically important and is taking center stage in Western industrial and security policy. With Almonty Industries, Sandvik, and Airbus, we present three stocks that allow investors to profit across the value chain.

ESCALATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: OCCIDENTAL, VOLATUS AEROSPACE, AND PALANTIR IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF STOCK MARKET TRADERS
Hopes for a ceasefire between the US and Iran were premature: peace talks have been put on hold. Instead, the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz is escalating once again—with attacks on tankers, US sanctions against Iranian oil, and retaliatory strikes on both sides. Investors would therefore be wise to take a look at three stocks from three completely different industries, each reflecting a different stage of the same crisis: the oil and gas company Occidental Petroleum as a direct play on energy prices; the Canadian drone specialist Volatus Aerospace, which is benefiting from growing demand for military hardware; and the software manufacturer Palantir, which illustrates where the real value growth is shifting in the age of AI-driven warfare.

Dividend Gem Vonovia, Sell-Off Warning for Siemens Energy, and Almonty Industries on the Verge of a Technical Breakout!
Over the weekend, international financial markets were shaken by a dramatic military escalation in the Middle East that could abruptly paralyze global supply chains and energy corridors. Following attacks by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over. In retaliation, the US military struck well over 140 military targets along Iran's southern coast, prompting Tehran to respond with missile and drone attacks on US bases in the Gulf states of Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE, and to declare the key sea lane closed. This latest disruption to shipping traffic on the "lifeline of global oil and gas trade" threatens to drive global inflation skyward at a rapid pace. On the stock markets, this shock could trigger a fundamental flight to tangible assets and a reassessment of strategic independence. While the interest-rate-sensitive German real estate giant Vonovia is facing new headwinds due to the looming inflationary and interest-rate consequences of this conflict, despite its high dividend yield, the need for a self-sufficient and secure energy infrastructure provided by Siemens Energy is coming into focus, even though the company is currently struggling with share price declines. However, the spotlight may ultimately fall on Almonty Industries. As a leading Western supplier of tungsten, a metal critical to defence and advanced technologies, the Canadian-American resource company occupies a strategically important position. At the same time, its shares may be on the verge of a technical breakout.

HOT AIR AND HARD FACTS: WHAT SETS SPACEX APART FROM ALMONTY AND THYSSENKRUPP
USD 2 trillion for dreams of Mars? While SpaceX is valued on expectations of its long-term growth and ambitious space exploration plans, Almonty Industries supplies tungsten—and soon molybdenum—critical raw materials used in a wide range of high-performance industrial and aerospace applications. These metals are also important for manufacturers such as thyssenkrupp, the long-established industrial group from Essen that is currently undergoing a major transformation. This analysis compares one company valued largely on future expectations with two businesses positioned at the heart of real-world industrial supply chains.

Almonty Industries, DroneShield, Thales: Three Companies Benefiting from the Global Arms Race
Global defense spending is rising to record levels, fueling a long-term investment boom. It is no longer just traditional defense contractors that are benefiting from this trend. At the same time, the supply of strategic raw materials is becoming a critical bottleneck. Metals, which are indispensable for precision weapons, semiconductors, aerospace, and modern defense systems, are becoming increasingly important. Those who can secure Western supply chains in the future or possess key technologies have the potential to be among the biggest winners of this geopolitical turning point.

Technical Analysis in Focus: Opportunities at Infineon, Volatus Aerospace, and Meta?
Summer is typically a quiet time on the stock markets. Even though quarterly earnings are released in many sectors starting in July, too many investors are already on their summer break. But this year, the markets are proving to be extremely volatile. Across many sectors, including semiconductors, hyperscalers, auto stocks, and sports companies, we are seeing sharp daily swings in either direction. On top of that, the war is returning not only to the Persian Gulf but also to the trading floor. This high volatility calls for technical analysis. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Infineon, Volatus Aerospace, and Meta.

Volatus Aerospace, TKMS, and Rheinmetall: Three Stocks for the Next Defence Boom
Financial markets had partly priced in a lasting ceasefire in the Persian Gulf, but the conflict has flared up again. U.S. President Donald Trump recently declared the ceasefire with Iran to be over. The global defence boom is far from running out of steam. On the contrary, it continues to gather momentum while constantly shifting its focus. After ammunition, tanks, air defence systems and drones, maritime defence is once again moving into the spotlight. Around the recent NATO summit in Ankara, for example, Canada announced multi-billion-dollar submarine plans involving thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). At the same time, rising defence spending across Europe and the technological race in counter-drone capabilities underline the continuing need for military investment. Against this backdrop, investors may find new opportunities—from the more speculative Volatus Aerospace to the more established defence names TKMS and Rheinmetall.
