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.

    DroneShield disappoints! Plug Power fights for survival! American Atomics stock poised for an overdue rally?!

    • Defense
    • Drones

    Tech analyst Pip Klöckner paints a clear picture for 2026: he expects NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to become the world's most influential energy lobbyist. Without additional, reliable energy, data centers cannot operate - and without data centers, no one will buy NVIDIA chips. Meta is already fully committed to nuclear energy, underlining how critical stable baseload power has become in the AI race. American Atomics stands to benefit from this development. After all, uranium is needed regardless of who builds the nuclear power plants or ultimately wins the AI arms race. Importantly, American Atomics is developing several promising projects directly in the United States. The AI-driven energy boom has also lifted hydrogen stocks in the past, including Plug Power, but the euphoria has faded, and the Copmany is now fighting for survival. And what about DroneShield? The drone defense specialist's shares have taken a sharp hit in recent days. Was the sell-off triggered by the latest quarterly figures, or is something else at play?

    The energy transition will reach a critical point in 2026: storage facilities will become systemically important infrastructure, driven by electromobility and the exploding demand for electricity from AI. This boom is driving demand for high-performance batteries and essential raw materials such as graphite to unprecedented heights. Anyone who wants to identify the structural winners of this megatrend should keep an eye on three key players: e-mobility pioneer BYD, raw materials specialist Graphano Energy, and chip giant Intel.

    Is antimony the new tungsten? Why Antimony Resources could become a similar story to Almonty Industries

    Out of the niche and into the spotlight! Antimony was considered a forgotten metal for decades until geopolitical upheavals shifted the focus to critical metals. Today, it is at the center of a geopolitical and economic realignment because it is indispensable for numerous high-tech and defense applications. China, a long-time dominant supplier, has drastically restricted its exports, leading to noticeable supply bottlenecks in many industries, from battery production to military equipment, and driving prices to historic levels. These restrictions have destabilized strategic supply chains and prompted Western governments, such as the US, to take massive security measures. Analysts and the media emphasize that this shortage is not just a temporary market phenomenon, but an industrial policy issue that affects production, prices, and investment worldwide. Canadian explorer Antimony Resources is just beginning to tell its story, which in its early stages shows many parallels to Almonty Industries. It is worth taking a closer look.
