Critical stocks on sale? Standard Lithium, European Lithium, D-Wave, BASF!

Are critical raw materials suddenly in abundance? Looking at the price performance of many stocks in the sector, this thought may come to mind. Many stocks have lost 50% or more since mid-October. The truth is that they had often more than doubled in value in the weeks prior to that. China's export ban led to excesses that now need to be corrected. Nevertheless, the fundamental driver of the sector remains intact: the West must not be vulnerable to blackmail when it comes to critical raw materials. This means that stocks such as European Lithium and Standard Lithium remain attractive to investors. And what is BASF doing? The Company exemplifies the problems facing the German chemical industry. Can D-Wave Quantum help?

A new industrial era is dawning. Driven by the global energy transition, there is an unprecedented demand for clean technology, powerful batteries, and the metals that power them. But this multi-billion-dollar arms race reveals a critical vulnerability: the scarcity of strategic raw materials and fragile supply chains. The key to success no longer lies solely in innovation, but in mastering the entire value chain, from the mine to the finished plant. We take a closer look at three companies at the forefront of the energy transition: BYD, Power Metallic Mines, and Nordex.

The future of mobility is being decided in the battery factory. Innovative battery cells promise longer ranges and lower costs, but the road to getting there is marked by a fierce race for scarce raw materials and technological supremacy. This tension between disruptive progress and geopolitical risks creates unique opportunities for companies that navigate the transformation strategically. Today, we take a closer look at how BYD, Graphano Energy, and Volkswagen are currently positioning themselves.

Raw materials war sends industry into panic – New buyers enter the resource sector: SAP, Barrick Mining, Globex Mining

Industry and the commodities sector are in turmoil. China's latest trade restrictions on critical raw materials are causing widespread uncertainty. Last week, China announced its intention to severely restrict exports of rare earths. In addition, raw materials that can serve military purposes will no longer be allowed to leave the country. Also on the list: Chinese expertise related to the extraction and processing of these raw materials. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has already quoted a China expert who sees a new dimension of extraterritoriality in these measures. Here is what investors should keep in mind now.

Tilray, Graphano Energy, Arafura Rare Earths – Battle for raw materials intensifies

While the US appeared to be heading for a trade war with China on Friday, US President Donald Trump posted a message on his social media platform, "Truth Social", on Sunday, giving a slight all-clear. But is this really the end of the dispute between the world's two largest economies? Hardly. In fact, the battle for critical raw materials is likely to intensify in the coming months, if not years, meaning Western producers could benefit disproportionately.

SHARE PRICE EXPLOSION at Standard Lithium, European Lithium, MP Materials! These commodity stocks are outshining Barrick Mining!

It does not always have to be gold! Barrick has gained around 80% so far this year. The following commodity stocks are outperforming it significantly. European Lithium's share price has exploded by over 100% since Friday. Initially, a share buyback sparked the euphoria, then came the bombshell: Reuters reported a possible US government investment in Critical Metals. European Lithium holds the majority of the Company, which is focused on the exploration of a massive rare earths project in Greenland. The impact of a US entry was already demonstrated by MP Materials this summer, where Apple is also involved. Standard Lithium has gained an impressive 200% in six months. How far will the boom in critical raw materials drive these stocks?

Analysts still recommend BUY even after a 1,300% increase! Siemens Energy, Nel ASA and Power Metallic Mines!

Siemens Energy is unstoppable. After a price increase of over 1,300% since the end of 2023, the share reached a new all-time high last week. Analysts see further potential and are raising their price targets. Another analysis firm is making itself look almost ridiculous. A new all-time high – and even more – is also beckoning for Power Metallic Mines. The multi-metal company has again reported strong drilling results and is working on uplisting its shares in the US. The CEO is set to present on Wednesday at the 16th virtual IIF. The mood at Nel ASA is quite different – analysts are lowering their price targets and remain skeptical, while competitor Plug Power is shining with a 200% rally.

Daily madness on the capital markets. While foreign drones circle over NATO territory conducting espionage, politicians in Brussels feel compelled to increase defense budgets once again. Even Ursula von der Leyen feels the pressure to act at the Denmark summit: "We must invest in real-time space surveillance so that no troop movements go unnoticed. We must heed the call of our Baltic friends and establish a drone defense system. This is not an abstract ambition – it is the basis of credible defense!" This is the next boost for the defense industry, and for the raw materials stock Globex Mining, things are really taking off now! We highlight which stock could become the next big gainer.

In the third quarter of 2025, the global e-mobility market once again grew strongly: more than 4.2 million new electric vehicles were registered worldwide, an increase of around 28% over the previous year. China remains by far the largest single market, but Europe is also recording double-digit growth rates, driven by manufacturers such as BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen. At the same time, investment in new battery technology is increasing in order to secure the rising demand in the long term. The raw material zinc is becoming increasingly important, not only for corrosion protection and alloys, but also as a key component in innovative zinc-air batteries, which could represent a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to lithium. This development underscores how closely raw material markets and e-mobility growth are intertwined. Here are a few investment ideas.
