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.

    Rockets are blasting into March! Investors are eyeing E.ON, Standard Uranium, and Plug Power

    The current military actions in Iran did not come as a complete surprise. However, very few observers had anticipated an escalation across the entire Middle East. Oil and gas are therefore once again testing a breakout, even though global markets should theoretically face a surplus due to the weak economic environment. Regardless, speculators are simply trading fossil fuels higher; let's see if they stay up there. The global expansion of nuclear power programs is being reinforced by such periods of uncertainty. One example is India, which plans to expand its nuclear power capacity to around 100 GW by 2047, while currently less than 10 GW is installed. Such expansion plans reflect the growing demand for reliable base load energy in an increasingly digitalized economy and act as a hedge against commodity-induced crises. The long-term demand outlook for uranium is improving almost daily as a result of such trends, drawing investors' attention to companies with promising projects. Here are a few ideas.

    900% price increase and only a P/E ratio of 10! Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and Almonty Industries in focus

    • Mining
    • Tungsten

    • armaments
    • hightech

    Can a stock still be cheap after a 900% increase in 12 months? Looking at the current analyst estimates for Almonty Industries, the answer is "yes." Analysts are therefore raising their price target significantly and recommending the tungsten producer as a "Buy". They expect revenue and profits to explode starting this year. In contrast, investors in Rheinmetall and Hensoldt are slowly losing faith in the supercycle. Both stocks are languishing this year. Even the war in the Middle East is unable to give defense stocks a boost. Yet Rheinmetall has exactly the products in its portfolio that are so urgently needed: relatively inexpensive drone defense systems. The US is slowly running out of expensive interceptor missiles. Hensoldt recently reported a record order backlog, but investors are disappointed with revenue and profit growth. Could a takeover provide new momentum for the stock?

    The clock strikes 13 – Iran is firing from all barrels! Investors are betting on Antimony Resources

    Who would have thought it? US President Donald Trump is tackling the Iran issue together with Israel. It was long clear to experts that the Islamic world would not take kindly to this. Now there is speculation about how much military equipment is available on both sides to bring the supposed enemy to its knees. For investors, as for all bystanders, this is a humanitarian nightmare, yet military strategists think differently. They think in terms of supplies, production, and procurement. That the already scarce resources of recent months are being pushed through the supply chain once again is normal in such an environment. Since Monday, there have been three oil price shocks in a row. In addition to oil, investors should also keep an eye on strategic metals, especially antimony. The Canadian company Antimony Resources has seen a 100% increase since the turn of the year. Is there room for more?
