Europe Facing a Tungsten Shock? Airbus and Siemens Under Pressure—Could Almonty Double?
Walking through the production facilities of European industrial giants such as Airbus or Siemens, it is easy to overlook just how fragile many of their supply chains have become. On Tuesday, Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) assessed the situation with regard to the EU: Western industry is caught in a dangerous cycle of dependency from which it can hardly free itself on its own. Since China significantly tightened export controls on tungsten in February 2025, tungsten prices have surged, in some cases rising seven to ninefold. Meanwhile, European initiatives such as the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) have struggled to gain traction due to limited funding and lengthy permitting processes. Without reliable alternative suppliers, manufacturing operations across Europe could face serious disruptions. In this article, we examine the current market dynamics and take a closer look at Almonty, one of the West's leading tungsten producers, which is widely viewed as a potential beneficiary of the tightening global supply situation.

Breaking news: Reverse Stock Split at Almonty – Significance and Background
Tungsten producer Almonty Industries announced a reverse stock split on Thursday. Shares will be consolidated at a ratio of 1.5 to 1.

The new shares will be traded under a new International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) starting July 7, 2025.
