Gold is approaching the USD 5,000 mark, while silver is trading at almost USD 100 per ounce. Given these bullish prices, precious metal producers such as Barrick are enjoying substantial profits. Business is also going well for specialized investment companies such as Mutares. The Munich-based company recently announced the largest purchase in its history. However, the transformative nature of this move has not yet been priced into the share price. Globex Mining offers an exciting mix of commodities and investment vehicles with a broadly diversified portfolio of 269 commodity assets. The stock holds significant revaluation potential.

    Globex Mining – Revaluation potential

    With Globex Mining shares, investors can benefit from the value appreciation and potential of a very broadly diversified commodity portfolio. For many decades, the Canadians have consistently focused on the acquisition, development, and targeted leasing of commodity-rich properties, primarily in Canada and the US. With currently 269 assets, the portfolio is broadly diversified, ranging from precious metals to base metals and critical commodities. In addition, the projects are at different stages of development, which makes the risk/reward profile even more attractive.

    Particularly exciting are the value enhancement levers that come into play via the more than 100 royalty and option models. Recent news from the Rouyn-Merger and Bald Hill projects exemplifies Globex Mining's clever strategy and potential.

    The latest drilling results at the Rouyn-Merger gold project in Quebec underscore the geological quality of the property. Broad sections with gold mineralization of over 3 g/t in the immediate vicinity of the Cadillac Fault are considered strong evidence of a potentially much larger system.

    The development of Antimony Resources' Bald Hill project in Canada is also considered to be extremely promising. Antimony is a critical raw material that is relevant for the defense industry and the high-tech sector, among others.
    The latest drill results from what is already the largest antimony deposit in North America suggest a higher than previously forecast mineralization of 4 to 5% antimony.

    The Company is currently valued at around CAD 135 million at a share price of CAD 2.40. In addition, the Company is debt-free and has a comfortable cash cushion of CAD 35 million. Constant deal flows, ongoing option income, and new royalty deals should gradually lead to positive momentum for the stock in the bullish market, which thus has a great opportunity for a revaluation.

    Barrick Mining – Lots of movement

    The shares of the world's second-largest gold producer are currently trading just below their all-time high of CAD 70. Supported by strong gold prices and robust profitability, the Company's market capitalization has risen to approximately CAD 116 billion. Nevertheless, the key figures, including a 2026 P/E ratio of 14, can be classified as moderate.

    There is a lot going on within the group. Barrick recently announced another change to its management team, with Helen Cai set to assume the role of CFO. This marks a continuation of the broader management restructuring under interim CEO Mark Hill, following the unexpected departure of his predecessor last September.

    Plans to spin off the Company's North American gold assets into a separately listed entity underscore Barrick's strategic focus on unlocking shareholder value. Such a move could lead to a higher overall valuation and position the new company as an attractive takeover target. Industry heavyweights such as Newmont and Agnico Eagle are widely rumored to be potential suitors.

    Mutares – Largest transaction in the Company's history

    Founded in 2008, the investment holding company pursues an active management approach. The Munich-based company specializes in carve-outs and turnarounds. Mutares buys companies or parts of companies from corporations that no longer fit their core business, restructures them operationally, and later sells them at a profit.

    Mutares often pays very little or even receives money (negative purchase price) because sellers transfer risks. As part of the restructuring, new strategies are implemented and, as a rule, add-on acquisitions are also made. In most cases, the sale to a strategist or financial investor takes place after 3 to 7 years. Alternatively, the stock market serves as an exit channel.

    At the beginning of the year, the Company announced the largest transaction in its history. Mutares intends to acquire the Engineering Thermoplastics (ETP) division in America and Europe from the Saudi Arabian chemical and metal group Sabic, which most recently generated revenue of USD 2.5 billion. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of the year. According to the Company, the enterprise value is USD 450 million.

    Warburg analysts rated the planned deal as very advantageous. In their latest study, the analysts also refer to the recent exits, which, in the experts' opinion, should lead to cash flows and profits in the high double-digit million range in the current year. The target price is set at EUR 46. With a current share price of EUR 31.50, corresponding to a market capitalization of EUR 675 million, this represents upward potential of over 40% for the share.


    With its highly diversified portfolio, Globex Mining is benefiting from the broad-based commodity boom. Its more than 100 royalty and option models represent particular levers for value appreciation. The Company is debt-free and holds cash reserves of CAD 35 million. A revaluation is only a matter of time. Barrick benefits from high gold prices as a producer. An IPO of its North American activities is likely to give the share price another significant boost. Mutares will enter a new dimension with the announced takeover, which is not yet reflected in the share price.

    Gold at USD 10,000? Irrelevant! This Gold Gem is Far too Cheap! Lahontan Following in Barrick Mining's Footsteps!

    This gold gem appears significantly undervalued. At Lahontan Gold, the facts and figures speak for themselves: a project located in what is arguably one of the world's most attractive gold regions—where Barrick Mining also operates—a gold resource of 2 million ounces and growing, production costs of USD 1,200, and production set to begin as early as next year. It is therefore no surprise that the company's founder speaks confidently in an interview: "The mining sector is currently the best sector to be in." She is invested and fully committed to delivering attractive returns for shareholders. What stands out is the current market valuation of CAD 170 million. Significantly higher valuations should be possible. Important news is on the horizon. At that point, it hardly matters whether gold trades at USD 4,000 or USD 10,000 per ounce. Once production begins, real "money printing" will start.

    Chip Sector High-Flyers in the New Tech Gold Rush – Where to Invest Now? AMD, Infineon, SpaceX, or DRC Gold

    • Africa

    The stock market takes no prisoners. Anyone currently invested in the semiconductor sector is on cloud nine and can hardly imagine the trend reversing. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) provides a useful benchmark for assessing the sector's momentum. Since the start of the year, it has risen from around 3,500 points to more than 12,800 points (+265%). This bears a strong resemblance to the gold price rally between 2023 and 2026, when the precious metal surged from USD 1,650 to USD 5,400 (+227%). As always, it is important to keep the broader backdrop in mind. At present, markets are pricing in supply shortages, but should the Iran conflict end, this assessment could quickly lose steam, and market excesses would then need to be corrected. Gold and silver may provide a good example. Following the irrational rally in the first quarter of 2026, both markets have entered a noticeable consolidation phase. Against this backdrop, it is worth taking a closer look at the underlying dynamics and investment opportunities.

    The AI Boom Requires More Power: Cameco, Standard Uranium, and 2G Energy Stand to Benefit!

    • AI

    Major tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Oracle remain committed to investing in AI data centers. Despite initial negative news (debt, cash flow slump), new analyses show that they are actually increasing their investments. These so-called AI hyperscalers had planned investments in AI infrastructure of around USD 600 to USD 620 billion for 2026. Now, estimates from analysts and market researchers have been significantly revised upward. Accordingly, research firms such as TrendForce and Pimco now anticipate combined capital expenditures of over USD 750 to USD 830 billion for this year. In 2027, this figure is expected to exceed USD 870 billion. According to market observers, around three-quarters of this spending currently goes directly toward AI infrastructure—namely, high-performance GPU clusters, proprietary AI chips, and advanced data centers. However, data centers in particular have an enormous appetite for energy. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption by data centers recently stood at around 415 terawatt-hours (TWh), corresponding to about 1.5% of global electricity demand. By 2030, this figure is expected to more than double. In its more optimistic scenarios, Goldman Sachs even anticipates growth of up to 165%. Yet energy demand remains the industry's bottleneck. In the US in particular, the partly dilapidated grid is overwhelmed by the additional demand. For this reason, many data centers equipped with expensive chips stood idle for months, waiting for grid connection. With demand booming, nuclear energy is making a comeback among suppliers. Canada's market leader Cameco and Standard Uranium stand to benefit directly from this. From Germany, 2G Energy appears to be in the mix. The North Rhine-Westphalia based company has just announced its first order from the United States for its CHP plants.
