Once again, world-class results from Power Metallic Mines. The NISK multi-metal deposit in Canada is delivering exceptional data for gold, silver, copper, palladium, and platinum. Analysts are enthusiastic and recommend the stock as a "Buy" with upside potential of more than 80%. Analysts have never seen such grades before, especially for copper. Like commodities, defense companies are also beneficiaries of geopolitical uncertainty. Most recently, US President Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos confirmed that old alliances are no longer reliable and that billions must be invested in commodity security and self-defense. RENK and TKMS stand to benefit from this. The shipbuilding group is currently riding a wave of success.

    Power Metallic Mines: Analysts see over 80% upside potential

    Strong drilling results at the NISK multi-metal deposit and highly positive analyst commentary are driving renewed interest in Power Metallic Mines. After a surprisingly challenging 2025, the share price is finally gaining momentum again. Prices just above EUR 1 are attracting sustained buying interest, despite the stock having already traded above EUR 1.20 earlier in 2025. Since then, the Company has delivered further convincing results, and additional exploration areas have been acquired.

    ROTH Capital has reiterated its "Buy" recommendation for Power Metallic Mines shares. Analysts see the fair value of the share at CAD 3, corresponding to upside potential of 85%. Analysts highlight that preliminary metallurgical results from the Lion Zone at the NISK project in Quebec have shown exceptionally high recovery rates for both base and precious metals - a key value driver for any mining project.

    Last week, Power Metallic Mines reported recovery rates of 98.9% copper, 93.9% palladium, 96.8% platinum, and 88.9% silver for the first so-called "locked-cycle tests" (LCT). Analysts have never seen such levels before, especially for copper. It is said that "grade is king," but without sufficient recovery rates, grade is irrelevant. The recovery rate describes how much of the metal contained can actually be extracted from the rock. The Lion Zone has both a high grade and a high recovery rate. In addition, it is expected that a high-quality concentrate can be produced due to low levels of harmful elements. In conclusion, the analysts summarize that the high grades and recovery rates already justify mine development. The mineralized zone has not yet been finally defined.

    RENK: Beneficiary of geopolitical uncertainty

    Analysts are not quite as optimistic about RENK as they are about Power Metallic Mines. Basically, armaments and raw materials are driven by the same trend: the realignment of global alliances driven by the aggressive policies of the US. Most recently, US military action in Venezuela and the dispute over Greenland have further increased geopolitical uncertainty. Not to mention US President Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

    It is clearer than ever that Europe must become more independent in terms of defense. Analysts have recently expressed a correspondingly positive view of RENK shares. Berenberg expects a decade of rising defense spending. Analysts also include the specialist for transmissions in military vehicles among the beneficiaries. They recommend buying the stock. However, the price target has been reduced from EUR 84 to EUR 76. RENK shares are currently trading just below EUR 60. Overall, the industry is undervalued compared to aviation, for example.

    JPMorgan believes the RENK share could reach a price of EUR 75. Although the war in Ukraine has recently receded somewhat into the background, issues such as the military action in Venezuela, the Greenland question, and the massive increase in US defense spending – to which Europe must respond – continue to favor the industry.

    TKMS: The next billion-euro order?

    TKMS shares have performed strongly recently. Without strong tailwinds from analysts, they have risen by almost 50% in the past four weeks and are once again approaching the 100% mark. Investors are in good spirits thanks to large orders that have already been placed or are likely to be placed with the shipbuilding group. On Wednesday, Reuters reported that a billion-euro order could be imminent. According to insiders, the German Armed Forces will order several MEKO A-200 frigates from TKMS. The purchase would serve as an alternative to the originally planned purchase of F126-class ships worth EUR 7.8 billion. However, the order has been delayed for years. According to Reuters, insiders expect an order for at least three ships, with an estimated value of around EUR 1 billion each. A final decision has not yet been formally announced.

    TKMS is currently riding a wave of success. While other defense contractors are waiting for large orders, TKMS is receiving orders. Shortly before the turn of the year, for example, a framework agreement was signed with the German Armed Forces for the delivery of DM2A5 heavyweight torpedoes and related equipment for the 212CD class submarines. For TKMS, it was the largest torpedo order in the Company's history.


    Commodities and defense are set to shape the world and the stock markets for the foreseeable future. Power Metallic Mines is likely one of the most interesting explorers worldwide. The NISK multi-metal deposit has once again confirmed its world-class potential. The analysts' price upside of over 80% appears anything but unrealistic. RENK is considered a core investment in Europe. However, investors currently seem to favor Rheinmetall and TKMS.

    Chips, Gold, and Dividends: ASML, Lahontan, and Allianz as a Safe Haven Amid Market Turmoil

    There are times on the stock market when the hottest stock with the most spectacular story is not the best choice. When market uncertainty rises, investors are well advised to bet on stocks that remain unfazed by geopolitical news. At first glance, ASML, Lahontan Gold, and Allianz have nothing in common: a Dutch manufacturer of highly complex specialty machinery for the chip industry, a Canadian gold explorer, and a Munich-based insurance group. And yet, the three have something in common: they provide solid reasons why their share prices can remain largely immune to the general ups and downs of the markets—whether thanks to genuine underlying demand, robust operational progress, or shareholder-friendly dividend policies.

    Crash Risk or Buying Opportunity? SpaceX Slides, BMW Eyes a Rebound, and Desert Gold Shines on the Charts

    The situation in the Middle East has continued to escalate, with attacks around the Strait of Hormuz driving up oil prices. Brent crude has recently climbed to around USD 85 per barrel, adding another layer of uncertainty to global financial markets. For investors searching for opportunities in the current environment, it is important to look beyond individual stocks and keep a close eye on geopolitical developments. In this article, we examine three companies from very different sectors and highlight where potential opportunities may be emerging. First, we look at BMW, whose shares are currently trading at what many consider an attractive valuation and may be positioned for a rebound. We also examine SpaceX, whose stock has entered what many investors would describe as crash territory, with the share price falling below its IPO level. Finally, we turn to Desert Gold Ventures, a small West African gold explorer that has continued to make steady operational progress largely independent of broader market turbulence—and largely without attracting much attention. Could this overlooked company represent a significant opportunity for investors?

    Defense Giants Shaken by Consumer Drones: Rheinmetall and AeroVironment Under Pressure as Volatus Aerospace Strengthens the Supply Chain

    The defence industry is booming and evolving rapidly. While established defence contractors are reaping the benefits of record orders for conventional weapons systems, autonomous systems and AI-powered networks are also increasingly benefiting. The market for military drones is growing at double-digit rates and, according to current market forecasts, is expected to reach a volume of USD 80 to 100 billion by 2030. But these billions are far from being allocated. Even though Ukrainian-made drones were disparaged as "housewife drones" not long ago, the reality is that Ukraine is extremely agile when it comes to new developments. It is not uncommon for prototypes to be deployed within days. The Ukrainians are also at the forefront when it comes to costs. Cheap, mass-produced disposable systems are increasingly replacing conventional defence products. We examine this trend and highlight three exciting companies.
