Nuclear fusion fantasy at Almonty, Chevron, Cenovus Energy: Why tungsten is the key to infinite energy
Until now, when investors thought of tungsten, they usually pictured hardened steel for armor-piercing ammunition or high-performance drill bits for industrial use. But this perception is on the verge of changing fundamentally. The latest physical breakthroughs in nuclear fusion, particularly at the Chinese experimental reactor EAST, often referred to as the "artificial sun", are placing the high-melting metal at the center of an energy revolution. While oil multinationals such as Chevron and Cenovus Energy are managing the present with record profits, a new market is emerging in the background for materials that must withstand the most extreme conditions. In this scenario, Almonty Industries is evolving from a traditional mining company into a strategic technology enabler – after all, there can be no fusion energy without tungsten. For investors willing to look beyond the fossil fuel world, this opens up an opportunity that goes far beyond cyclical commodity trading.

Will new Trump tariffs slow down the stock market boom? Keep an eye on Plug Power, dynaCERT, and Nordex
The stock market currently has to cope with all kinds of weather conditions. First, there is a very dry and cold winter, which is causing problems for Ukraine in particular due to the war. To make matters worse, the energetic US President Donald Trump is suddenly laying claim to Greenland. Most likely, he is only interested in securing the entire NATO, hence the pressure over the new tariffs. The EU will also have to make a huge security contribution for Greenland. It feels as if the war machine is running at 300% capacity. How the states intend to finance all this is more than questionable, because taxes will no longer cover the costs if they do not want to stifle their economies. In this environment, capital market interest rates should actually be skyrocketing, but Trump is vehemently demanding interest rate cuts. We are looking for attractive opportunities in a challenging environment.

Sibanye-Stillwater, CHAR Technologies, Siemens Energy – Right on trend
The 2026 stock market year is only a few days old, but developments are unfolding rapidly. Two sectors, precious metals and energy, are particularly noteworthy. Geopolitical tensions, growing government debt, and ongoing inflation risks continue to favor gold and other precious metals as stable stores of value. At the same time, the explosive rise in energy demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, and electromobility is providing structural tailwinds in the energy sector. While supply and infrastructure are reaching their physical limits in many places, raw materials and energy sources are gaining strategic importance. For investors, this could also result in an attractive risk-reward profile in 2026.

Demand trends for energy remain strong, but ultimately it is price that matters – American Atomics, Siemens Energy, and RWE are benefiting!
Shares in the energy and raw materials sectors were good investments last year. This trend is continuing in the first few weeks of the new year. The strong growth in demand for electricity, driven in part by AI and electromobility, is structural and sustained. Important aspects in this context are the availability of energy and infrastructure and, crucially, the price. The price of electricity is becoming increasingly important as a competitive factor. Who has the most convincing answers to the challenges of the present and the future?

Undiscovered energy stock for the AI boom! CHAR Technologies set for breakthrough in 2026!
In 2026, investors are once again rushing to buy energy stocks that are benefiting from the AI boom in the US. Bloom Energy, for example, has already exploded by over 50% in the early part of the year. However, with a value of USD 35 billion, the Company is anything but a bargain. CHAR Technologies is still an undiscovered gem in this sector. The Canadians produce coal and gas substitutes from waste materials. Research is no longer being conducted; instead, production is taking place on an industrial scale this year. The stock appears to be far too cheap and should take off in 2026.

Green Capital 2.0: How RE Royalties is closing the gap between Hannon Armstrong and Altius
The end of cheap money is forcing wind and solar park developers into a new reality: traditional banks are withdrawing from risk financing, but the investment pressure for the energy transition remains high. Specialized royalty financiers are stepping into this vacuum. While established players such as Hannon Armstrong and Altius Renewable Royalties already dominate this segment, the still largely undiscovered player RE Royalties now offers investors the opportunity to be at the beginning of a similar growth curve. The massive gap between developers' capital requirements and what banks have to offer is the ideal breeding ground for this business model.

ENERGY decides the AI race between the US and China: Siemens Energy, Oklo, and American Atomics stand to benefit
The race between the US and China for superior artificial intelligence (AI) is in full swing. More and more experts expect that the winner will not be decided by semiconductors from NVIDIA & Co., but by something much simpler: who has the cheapest energy! As a result, the US is investing heavily in nuclear energy. Old reactors are being brought out of retirement, and new ones are to be built in record time. It is therefore not surprising that Siemens Energy's stock outperformed NVIDIA and Alphabet last year. Can the DAX-listed company continue this performance? Oklo and American Atomics are also among the beneficiaries. Who is cheap?

AI, defense, and the energy crisis - Things are looking up! E.ON, CHAR Technologies, DroneShield, BayWa
Things are continuing where they left off in 2025. The colorful US President Trump is now threatening Greenland and Iran at the same time, raw materials remain in demand, and the Western industrial world is worried about its supply chains. At the same time, the increasing use of artificial intelligence is keeping energy efficiency and supply issues at the forefront of public and corporate attention. Sophisticated business models allow investors to identify promising strategies that are resilient in a fragile and uncertain world. Below, we highlight a few notable examples.

Trash to gas: How A.H.T. Syngas, EQTEC, and 2G Energy are making companies self-sufficient
German industry is undergoing one of its toughest trials. The "trilemma" described by analysts - volatile energy prices, rising CO2 taxes, and the physical uncertainty of the power grids - has driven production costs to a level that poses a massive threat to competitiveness. While politicians debate hydrogen pipelines that will take years to complete, innovators are already creating a new reality: decentralized energy supply from waste materials. Three players are emerging in this booming sector, working together to solve the puzzle of energy self-sufficiency. While CHP market leader 2G Energy provides the hardware for a green future with its engines and British supplier EQTEC validates gasification technology worldwide, Germany's A.H.T. Syngas Technology closes the crucial gap for small and medium-sized enterprises. With compact plants, A.H.T. transforms industrial waste into the clean gas that keeps the engines running – regardless of Putin's war or price jumps on the Leipzig energy exchange EEX.
