Forget most of the hyped stocks in the AI and tech space. The most significant gains in the current tech and energy transition boom come - not from the diggers, but from the suppliers - just like during the Gold Rush in the 19th century. While billions are being poured into the hunt for digital gold (artificial intelligence) and green gold (renewable energy), the (emerging) raw material producers, specialized machinery manufacturers, and infrastructure providers are the ones benefiting most. We show you the overlooked profiteers of the boom!

    Power Metallic Mines – Strategically important mix of raw materials

    With the completion of the summer drilling program and concrete, promising targets for the fall and winter campaigns, the Company is preparing for its next growth phase. With its flagship NISK project in Quebec, Power Metallic Mines already owns one of the most promising polymetallic deposits in North America.

    The recently completed summer drilling in the Lion and Tiger zones confirmed the enormous potential of the polymetallic deposit. Some results showed high grades of over 16% copper equivalent, with strategic metals including copper, nickel, cobalt, palladium, platinum, gold, and silver. This rare and coveted mix makes the NISK project highly relevant for the energy and electromobility transition.

    CEO Terry Lynch spoke of "some amazing high-grade intersections." He continued: "We have expanded the known resource area and improved our understanding of the plunge of the Lion Zone. Our goal for this year's summer drilling was to expand the Lion Zone, which we have achieved, and additionally to discover the next Lion Zone."

    Targets for the upcoming drilling programs are now being derived from these results. Lynch also made it clear that the highest-priority areas have not yet been drilled. The reason is simple - the Company was in negotiations to acquire adjacent land packages and did not want to affect the prices. Now everything is finalized.

    Investors can look forward to the next drilling results. There will also be more news in the future about the extensive metallurgical tests currently underway. The goal is to determine the recovery rates of the most important metals. Previous drilling results indicate coarse-grained sulfide mineralization with chalcopyrite and cubanite, which is well suited for conventional flotation processes. This suggests excellent potential for high metallurgical yield – a key factor for the future economic viability of the deposit.

    At a share price of CAD 1.10, the Company currently has a market capitalization of CAD 255 million. However, analysts are considerably more optimistic about the stock over the next 12 months and have set an average price target of CAD 2.37 – implying an upside of 115%!

    Aixtron – Undiscovered AI beneficiary slowly waking up!

    This week, shares in Aixtron, a mechanical engineering company for the chip industry, were kissed awake. The shares are currently trading just below the EUR 17 mark. From a technical perspective, this area is exciting because it has not been explored in the last 12 months. Overcoming this hurdle opens up further price potential.

    In its latest quarterly results, the German company expressed cautious optimism about the coming year and a suspected revival in demand from the solar and LED industries. However, investors are increasingly recognizing Aixtron as a previously overlooked AI beneficiary and are praising the long-term potential of the massive expansion of AI data centers as a new, additional driver of demand. Barclays recently raised its price target to EUR 20, which could soon prove to be too low given the AI fantasy.

    Siemens Energy – "Top Pick" for the AI boom

    Siemens Energy shares recently reached an all-time high of around EUR 114 but have since pulled back slightly. This follows a price increase of approximately 180% in recent months.

    As one of the world's leading energy technology companies, Siemens Energy is well-positioned to benefit from the AI boom and the associated high energy demand of data centers. Analysts at US bank Morgan Stanley continue to rate Siemens Energy as a "Top Pick" and have raised their price target from EUR 112 to EUR 120.


    It is worth considering alternative investment options to benefit from the AI boom. In particular, the potential of Power Metallic Mines is underestimated. The Canadian company owns one of the most promising polymetallic deposits in North America, and analysts believe the stock could double in value over the coming months. At Aixtron, AI-related growth is gradually being priced in, suggesting the stock still has significant upside. Siemens Energy is a suitable way to play the trend with a blue-chip investment.

    Up and down: Doublers and halvers among themselves! BYD, VW, DroneShield, and Power Metallic

    And once again, it is full steam ahead. While last year saw a sunny scenario in terms of returns for AI, defense, and silver stocks, these sectors are performing even better in the new year. Rumors of a physical silver shortage have now been confirmed by futures exchange warehouses. This could mean that the "one-way movement" in strategic metals will continue. Rumor has it that the shortages may even be spreading to a range of industrial metals. As the world's largest producer of these raw materials, China is tightening export controls and redirecting resources toward its domestic industry. Much of this is still unconfirmed, but the recent price explosion to over USD 12,000 for copper speaks volumes. Investors would be well advised to diversify their allocations to be ready for the most important developments!

    Strong tailwind for defense stocks – New buy signals for Antimony Resources, Hensoldt, and Steyr?

    Defense stocks are the focus of investor interest at the beginning of the year. The chances are good that defense stocks will now quickly iron out the dip in prices caused by profit-taking in the past quarter and surge toward historic highs. The environment is also favourable for (prospective) producers of critical raw materials that are urgently needed by industry, such as Antimony Resources. The escalation of the conflict between the US and Venezuela has added fuel to the fire. Trump is now also threatening Colombia. In addition, disillusionment is setting in regarding the hoped-for peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine. How can investors take advantage of this situation?

    Alternative to Barrick Mining and Equinox Gold: Why Maduro's fall could drive gold prices higher and make LAURION Mineral a strategic target

    The 2026 stock market year is beginning with a geopolitical earthquake whose tectonic shifts will be felt across global commodity markets for a long time to come. The direct intervention of the United States in Venezuela and the effective removal of President Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global security architecture virtually overnight. While Washington celebrates the move as a necessary restoration of democracy in the Western Hemisphere, geopolitical rivals Beijing and Moscow are responding with sharp rhetoric and brusque diplomatic protests. Uncertainty is spreading like wildfire – from the shores of Cuba, where the regime fears for its survival, all the way to Greenland, where major powers are increasingly competing aggressively for strategic spheres of influence. With gold already rising for months amid mounting uncertainty and monetary policy concerns, investors continue to flee to the safe haven. However, while established producers such as Barrick and Equinox absorb the first wave of panic-driven inflows, strategic investors are turning their attention to the few remaining safe jurisdictions such as Canada. Here, specialized explorers like LAURION Mineral Exploration hold precisely the kind of assets that are becoming the most valuable currency in an uncertain world.
