The 2025 investment year is nearing its end, with gains of just under 20% in both the DAX 40 and NASDAQ 100 indices. These two benchmarks remain the focus of attention for European investors, as they represent the benchmark for portfolios in their respective areas. Asset managers did not have an easy time of it until the middle of the year, as they had to switch back to "normal mode" very quickly after Trump's tariff correction in April, despite all the uncertainties. This meant bringing their clients' portfolios back into "risk-on" mode, which is very nerve-wracking in the current environment. Excessive government debt, never-ending geopolitical conflicts, and creeping inflation are leading to higher interest rates, which are considered poison for growth-oriented equity investments. Where can money be made in 2026? With today's selection, we attempt to navigate our way forward through the fog.

    Siemens Energy versus Nordex – What do the analysts say?

    The European public is keeping a close eye on companies that are active in greentech and have climate change efforts written into their statutes. Nordex and Siemens Energy have emerged as clear winners in the greentech scene in Germany, achieving impressive gains of over 120%, or six times the DAX return. The key question now is whether this surge can continue. Analysts estimate Nordex's revenues for 2025/26 to be between EUR 7.5 and 8.3 billion, with an EBITDA margin of around 7%. However, the Company's own margin target of 8% leaves little room for improvement and dampens expectations somewhat. As a result, 7 of the 16 experts surveyed now recommend cautious investment. The consolidated 12-month price target of EUR 27.60 promises only moderate upside potential.

    The valuation debate is also lively at Siemens Energy: A 10% increase in revenue is expected for 2026, while the current P/E ratio for 2025/26 is hovering around high values of 30. Some analysts consider this ratio to be ambitious. New momentum is being generated by the entry of an activist US investor who is calling for the spin-off of the troubled wind power division in order to make the group more profitable. This move is being interpreted by the market as a potential breakthrough. 18 out of 27 experts are still giving the thumbs up. The trend proves them right, as the EUR 120 mark was broken in the first week of December with a new all-time high. Will the fairy tale continue? In either case, adjust your stops. For Nordex, EUR 25.70 is a good option – for Siemens Energy, the EUR 112 mark should not fall below.

    Globex Mining – Cash flow machine in the commodity supercycle

    Globex Mining Enterprises (GMX) has established itself as a stable player in the North American commodities sector since the 1970s. The Company operates a low-risk business model based on the acquisition, optioning, and subsequent licensing of properties. With a portfolio of over 260 projects, including more than 100 royalty interests, the Company is now one of the most diversified rights holders in the industry. The Company is debt-free, has cash and securities of approximately CAD 35 million, and is thus able to take advantage of growth opportunities without diluting capital. CEO and geologist Jack Stoch has led the holding company for decades with a clear focus on intrinsic value and cash flow stability.

    One factor in its success is its clear geographical focus on Canada, where stable legal structures, infrastructure, and good relations with indigenous communities offer long-term planning security. Globex is currently strengthening its strategic position through projects in the field of precious metals and critical raw materials, which are of central importance for decarbonization and security of supply in North America. Operationally, new exploration results from Québec demonstrate the momentum of the portfolio. At the 100% owned Rouyn-Merger project, Globex reported initial drill results of 3.44 g/t gold over 38.7 meters and additional high-grade intervals of over 12 g/t gold. These results demonstrate the potential of the region along the gold-bearing Cadillac Fault and reinforce the prospect of resource expansion. A parallel drilling program is underway at the Lyndhurst Copper Project, testing a deep geophysical anomaly. Partner companies are also providing positive momentum. Antimony Resources confirmed a significant expansion of antimony deposits at Globex's Bald Hill Project in New Brunswick, significantly increasing the value of the license rights. According to estimates, up to 108,000 tons of this strategically important metal could be stored there. At the Duquesne-West gold project, Emperor Metals is working on an extensive drill program that is expected to significantly expand the resource definition. These advances reflect the strength of the diversified royalty portfolio, which ranges from silver to battery metals.

    The stock market is sustainably enthusiastic. Between the end of 2024 and March 2025, the share price doubled before consolidating and then rising to over CAD 2. This brought GMX shares to their highest level in 13 years. The market is clearly rewarding the growing depth of value creation and the solid balance sheet. Securing domestic raw material flows is increasingly becoming a strategic goal, coupled with a structurally secure revenue model, a broad raw material base, and consistent exploration activity. After a brief consolidation, buy orders can now be successful again at CAD 1.70. Globex is a 100% top pick for 2026!

    JinkoSolar – Entering a new era with energy storage

    JinkoSolar shares are completely out of the positive range. The solar module manufacturer recorded a 16.7% decline in shipments in the third quarter, while revenue fell by a much steeper 34.1% due to the ongoing price decline in the solar industry, which is plagued by overcapacity. Overcapacity has been weighing on the industry for over a year, and government consolidation efforts in China have had little effect so far. The Company slipped deep into the red with a net loss of CNY 750 million, after posting a slight profit in the previous year. Despite the weakness in its core business, the gross margin improved sequentially from -2.5% in the first quarter to 2.9% in the second quarter and now 7.3% in the third quarter. This recovery signals at least an operational stabilization, even though the margin remains well below the previous year's figure of 15.7%. The newly established energy storage systems business stands out positively and is increasingly becoming a strategic growth driver. With over 3.3 GWh of storage systems delivered in the first three quarters and an annual target of 6 GWh, management sees considerable potential. CEO Li Xiande expects the storage business to make significant contributions to profits from 2026 onwards. However, analysts on the LSEG platform expect an average of only USD 27, with Jinko currently trading at USD 24.70. Skepticism prevails!**

    Siemens Energy and Nordex are among the best performers in Europe over a 12-month period. They have clearly outperformed the DAX and NASDAQ and remain at record highs. Globex Mining also gained over 50%, and in the short term, it even almost doubled in value. JinkoSolar shares are the clear underperformer. Source: LSEG as of December 9, 2025

    **The stock market does not seem to have fully completed its rally for 2025. Enormous buying pressure still prevails, as asset managers clearly want to remain invested in the best stocks. They need to document on their investment lists that they were involved in the most important stories; otherwise, they risk losing their mandates. Our peer group above showed strong performance figures, and no one has anything to hide here.

    Gold finally goes green: How RZOLV Technologies is solving the cyanide dilemma for Orica and Agnico Eagle

    The gold market is currently in a historic supercycle that is driving prices to levels that were considered utopian just a few years ago. But behind the industry's shiny facade lurks a toxic problem that is increasingly becoming a matter of survival: since the introduction of the MacArthur-Forrest process in 1887, the majority of global gold production has been based on cyanide. This highly toxic salt efficiently extracts gold from rock but poses immense environmental risks. In a world where social acceptance is increasingly determining the fate of billion-dollar investments in mining, this chemical dependency can become a strategic trap. Authorities from the EU to US states such as Montana are tightening regulatory screws. This is the area of tension that technology company RZOLV Technologies is entering. With a validated, pollutant-free alternative, the Canadians are challenging the cyanide monopoly and providing precisely the key that industry needs to ensure that its reserves remain eligible for approval in the future.

    Record highs for gold, silver, and copper! But tungsten is really taking off! Almonty shares are eclipsing Barrick Mining and MP Materials!

    Commodity prices are running wild. But anyone who thinks that developments in gold and silver are record-breaking should take a look at tungsten. It is increasingly becoming the number one critical metal. Within a year, the price has surged from just over USD 300 to more than USD 1,200. Almonty Industries is benefiting from this. Almonty Industries is benefiting from this. From the perspective of CEO Lewis Black, however, the price itself is not the decisive factor, but something else entirely. Although tungsten is increasingly emerging from the shadow of rare earths, it is still the rare earths that dominate the headlines. MP Materials has both the US government and Apple on board, and analysts continue to see outperformance. Barrick Mining should also be making a fortune at the moment. Not only is gold at record levels, but copper is too.

    While the stock market revolves around AI chips, precious metals, and lithium, another crisis is brewing beneath the surface of global industry. The supply of antimony, a metal essential for flame retardants, the defense industry, and semiconductors, hangs by a thread due to Chinese export policy. This is bringing projects in stable regions into focus. In the midst of this strategic realignment, Antimony Resources from Canada is delivering remarkable drilling results. The question is no longer whether the West needs alternative sources, but how quickly special projects such as Antimony Resources can provide them.
