Escalation in Iran! Defence and Energy Stocks in Focus: Hensoldt, Nordex, and A.H.T. Syngas
Tensions between Iran and Israel are escalating once again, and oil prices are rising accordingly. Against this backdrop, we are taking a closer look at selected defence and energy stocks. A.H.T. Syngas shares appear to be gaining momentum. The company specializes in energy production from waste materials. Revenue is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, and analysts see upside potential of around 150%. Analysts have recently been more cautious on Nordex. They point to several uncertainties surrounding the wind turbine manufacturer's business model and have issued "Sell" recommendations. The company, however, is countering these concerns with a steady stream of new orders. Hensoldt also has a "Sell" recommendation. While analysts expect significant growth, order intake is expected to weaken, and the valuation is a cause for concern.

Trash and the Hunger for Power: How Waste Management, Zefiro Methane, and NextEra Energy Are Doing Good - and Making Money
Whether it is abandoned or so-called "orphaned" gas wells, mountains of medical waste, or contaminated land, the United States is grappling with the byproducts of its own economic activity. Yet within this challenge lies a significant opportunity—and some companies are capitalizing on it. For example, Waste Management is expanding into medical waste disposal to unlock new growth verticals. Zefiro Methane focuses on locating and sealing abandoned oil and gas wells. This is not only good for the environment but also for the bottom line. NextEra Energy, meanwhile, is satisfying the AI industry's hunger for energy and storage—in a sustainable manner.

TOXIC WASTE, NUCLEAR WASTE, METHANE: HOW CLEAN HARBORS, STUDSVIK, AND ZEFIRO METHANE ARE MAKING MONEY OFF THE SINS OF THE PAST
For decades, environmental protection was largely treated as a cost burden for industry. But while the global debate focuses on CO₂ reduction, another structurally attractive niche is gaining traction: the remediation of legacy contamination. Companies that tackle the contaminated sites left behind by the chemical, nuclear, and oil industries occupy one of the most stable growth markets of our time. Leading the way: US giant Clean Harbors, Swedish specialist Studsvik, and Canadian innovator Zefiro Methane.

High energy prices are making industrial waste increasingly valuable: How Waste Management, CHAR Technologies, and Veolia Are Cashing In
Waste is not just waste - it is a valuable asset! For quite some time now, the volume of industrial and household waste has been rising sharply worldwide. The World Bank estimates that between 2014 and 2024 alone, the amount of municipal solid waste produced globally increased by approximately 15% to 20% and could nearly double again by 2050, reaching 3.8 billion tons. Accordingly, it is not only important to avoid waste but also to secure valuable raw materials. The best example is old smartphones, whose valuable raw materials - such as gold, platinum, cobalt, or silver - can be handed over to local recyclers and processed by specialists.

Energy from waste, as at Verbio: CHAR Technologies as the savior of the steel industry – competition for market leader SunCoke Energy
The steel industry is facing a severe test that is often glossed over in ESG reports. While politicians, the media, and futurologists dream of green hydrogen, this vision collides with harsh reality: steel, the basic material of our modern civilization, cannot be produced in existing plants without solid carbon. It serves not only as an energy source, but also as a chemical reducing agent to extract oxygen from iron ore and as a support structure in the furnace. Against this backdrop, it becomes clear that decarbonization cannot be achieved by completely eliminating carbon, but only by replacing its fossil origin. In this billion-dollar market, the Canadian company CHAR Technologies is positioning itself as a key problem solver. While the established market leader SunCoke Energy still relies on fossil coal and is increasingly under margin pressure, CHAR's biochar is an immediately available, climate-neutral solution. At the same time, Verbio's success in Europe shows that scaling up waste materials to energy works – a logic that CHAR is now applying to the steel sector.
