Hard to believe, but unfortunately true! Without a single setback, share prices in the AI, high-tech, and strategic metals sectors have been rising unabated for months now. This has led to dream returns, some of which are in the triple digits. The curtain call for this party seems a long way off, while underinvested investors are sitting on billions in idle cash. There is no conclusive advice for such a situation. Fundamental analysts have been sounding the alarm for months, noting that the well-known Shiller P/E ratio, at over 42, has long since broken through the band of irrational exaggeration. But who cares? Here is a selection of stocks that face daily demand, forcing constant appreciation. Of course, as with any party, it only ends when the last guest turns off the lights.

    AMD – Nvidia CEO surprised by OpenAI deal

    The stock market is blooming in the most beautiful colors: AMD is a case in point. The latest deal between AMD and OpenAI has caused a stir in the semiconductor industry and even surprised the experienced Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. AMD recently announced that it would grant OpenAI warrants for up to 10% of its company shares as part of a multi-year partnership. This stake is linked to the purchase of AMD chips worth around six gigawatts of computing power, including the upcoming MI450 series, which is seen as a response to Nvidia's GPU dominance. In an interview with CNBC, Huang expressed surprise that AMD is willing to give up 10% of the Company before the new product is even ready for market. At the same time, he praised the move as "clever and unique" because it strategically places AMD at the heart of the OpenAI story.

    The deal represents not only a technological leap forward, but also a symbolic alliance between OpenAI and AMD to reduce dependence on market leader Nvidia. OpenAI, which has worked closely with Nvidia systems to date, secures a second powerful chip supplier through the agreement, giving AMD a powerful sales lever. For investors, the transaction signals a realignment of the AI market, with AMD emerging as the new enabler of the OpenAI revolution. The share price increase of over 30% since the announcement underscores the market's confidence in the strategic importance of the deal. Huang remains impressed but vigilant! The alliance of his rival could become the first serious challenge to Nvidia's decades-long dominance. Investors have benefited from both AMD and Nvidia – adjust your stop-losses accordingly!

    Power Metallic Mines – On the way to becoming a North American raw materials powerhouse

    What applies to the high-tech industry also applies upstream in the supply chain: without metals, there can be no technological breakthroughs. Canada's Power Metallic Mines is currently considered one of the most exciting commodity stocks in the North American small-mid cap segment. The Company focuses on strategically important exploration projects with a focus on nickel, copper, lithium, and platinum group elements (PGEs). Following the recent discovery of high-purity lithium in northwestern Ontario and a 40% increase in the resource estimate, institutional investor interest is growing significantly.

    Ongoing investigations of the Lion Zone by IOS Geosciences now confirm that copper is primarily bound in chalcopyrite and cubanite, minerals that are expected to have high metallurgical recovery rates. At the same time, valuable PGEs such as froodite and merenskyite occur in direct association with the copper minerals, suggesting economically efficient extraction. The geological structure is reminiscent of large polymetallic deposits such as Norilsk or Sudbury, further underscoring the long-term potential.

    Analysts at Roth MKM rate the stock as a "Buy" and raise the price target to CAD 2.50, as they believe Power Metallic is well on its way to establishing itself as a strategic supplier of critical metals in North America. CEO Terry Lynch recently expressed confidence at investor events in Europe and the US, speaking of a "new phase of sustainable growth." This assessment is supported by a successful private placement of approximately CAD 50 million, which secures financing for the next exploration and drilling phases. The PNPN story continues to move toward its old high of CAD 1.95! Entries below CAD 1.60 are still possible. Stock up!

    D-Wave Quantum – Higher, further, faster

    D-Wave Quantum is considered one of the most exciting but also overvalued players in the young quantum computing market. The share price has risen by approximately 3,500% over the past 12 months, while fundamental metrics such as revenue, margins, and cash flow do not yet justify this valuation. Investors are clearly trading on the potential of the coming decades here. Despite notable technological advances, however, the business model remains fragile, with revenues driven mainly by one-off sales rather than recurring income, making long-term planning challenging. Analysts currently see the fair value of the stock at between USD 20 and USD 25, with the consensus on LSEG at USD 23.3.

    In addition, D-Wave continues to post high losses and remains heavily dependent on ongoing R&D investment. While the Company has an innovative technology portfolio, it remains commercially vulnerable compared to heavyweights such as Google, IBM and Rigetti. If there are delays in the implementation of new gate models or technological setbacks, the valuation could quickly come under pressure. For investors, this means above all that caution is advised. It is important to follow future quarterly reports closely, pay attention to recurring revenues, and set clear stop-loss levels. The next management outlook is scheduled for November 6. A true casino stock!

    The high-flyers of the last 3 months have gained between 36% and 105%. If someone had said this a few years ago, they would have been considered crazy. But times have changed - everything is moving at lightning speed and trending upwards. Source: LSEG, October 9, 2025

    Anyone looking at the stock performance of certain shares over the past 3 to 12 months might get teary-eyed. The big profit generators come from the megatrend sectors of AI, high-tech, defense, and, more recently, commodities. Those who, like Power Metallic, sit on a huge reserve of poly-metals, which are of ever-increasing strategic importance, can likely look forward to the coming months with optimism. Tech and defense stocks would normally be due for a consolidation, but perhaps the NASDAQ 100 marches on to 30,000 and leaves all the procrastinators out in the cold.

    Billions for Hydrogen Steel: thyssenkrupp Needs the Raw Materials – Strategic Resources and Rio Tinto Aim to Supply Them

    The steel industry accounts for about 7% of global CO₂ emissions. It must become climate-neutral by 2050—and the key is green hydrogen. But without high-purity iron ore pellets and alloying metals like vanadium, the technology remains ineffective. This is precisely where a long-established corporation suddenly becomes a customer. thyssenkrupp can only operate its multi-billion-euro hydrogen direct-reduction plant in Duisburg economically if reliable suppliers provide the necessary raw materials. Strategic Resources and Rio Tinto could play an important role in supplying the required raw material qualities.

    Erratic movements – sky-high valuations! Right now, investors get the impression that AI and data centers are set to become the salvation of the global economy for the next 100 years. Of course, building AI infrastructure costs the tech giants enormous amounts of money. At the same time, the architects behind these systems are making a fortune. In principle, however, it is a cycle: what one company invests becomes another company's profit. Project this dynamic three years into the future, and nearly every major industry will have implemented its own generative AI systems. From entry-level employees to skilled workers and even at the executive level, there is now dramatic potential for cost savings, which in turn improves the bottom line. But at the end of the day, many people may lose their all-important jobs. The result is obvious: consumption is declining, and ultimately, growth is being replaced by contraction. Dynamic investors are riding the current rallies and then exiting at the right moment. What matters most is timing. Here are a few ideas.

    Has the 100% rally already begun for Power Metallic Mines? At least that is the level of upside potential suggested by analysts. The copper explorer continues to report strong drilling results from its flagship project in Canada, and the stock is gradually gaining momentum. Listening to the CEO, it becomes clear that the share may still have significant upside potential ahead. Potential also exists at MP Materials, the only producer and processor of rare earth elements in the US. However, the company now carries a market capitalization of around USD 12 billion. Most recently, it released quarterly results — the key question is whether the upward trend can continue. A similar trend has recently started to form at Standard Lithium as well. The company also reported on its first-quarter 2026 developments. Investors are now eagerly awaiting the final investment decision for the South-West Arkansas (SWA) project. The timing of that decision remains a key focal point for the market.
