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.

    The commodities markets are in an exciting phase in which established gold and other commodity producers are meeting emerging small explorers or near-producers. While industry heavyweights such as Barrick Mining and Agnico Eagle are strengthening their stability and that of the sector through record results, restructuring, and massive buybacks, a smaller to mid-cap player is generating significant attention in the polymetals segment. Power Metallic Mines is currently drawing interest with exceptional drill results and "advanced space-age technology." Will traditional gold stocks be swept up by the new momentum in copper and platinum group metals? In this report, we analyze developments across these three key areas, examine the technical breakout sentiment in Power Metallic Mines, and show why portfolios could be about to see significant movement. Read on—it may well be worth your attention.

    Empty Stockpiles: The US Military Must Rearm — A Golden Opportunity for Lynas Rare Earths, Antimony Resources, and Lockheed Martin

    Just a few days ago, Democratic US Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona dropped a political bombshell in Washington. In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" last Sunday, Kelly criticized the current state of the US military. According to him, stockpiles have been completely "bled dry" as a consequence of the Gulf conflict. The politician described his impressions following a briefing by the US Department of Defense. According to Kelly, ammunition stockpiles—particularly Tomahawk missiles, Patriot air defence systems, and SM-3 interceptor missiles—have been severely depleted, calling the situation "shocking." The extensive strikes against Iran have reportedly reduced inventories to such an extent that the national security of the United States could now be at risk. Rebuilding these stockpiles, Kelly warned, could take years. This, in turn, could leave the US vulnerable in potential future conflicts, particularly in the Pacific region. With these remarks, Mark Kelly articulated concerns that many observers have been discussing for weeks. According to this assessment, the US military has significantly reduced key inventories in a short period of time due to the conflict with Iran, potentially affecting operational readiness—especially concerning possible future tensions involving China, which had already been identified as a strategic challenge to US global leadership under the administrations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. This is also likely to have consequences in light of current President Donald Trump's visit to China.

    The "building blocks of our modern prosperity" have moved sharply back into focus in recent months: commodities. While global markets grapple with inflation fears and fluctuate amid technological advances driven by AI, three mining companies are navigating the sector in very different ways. We are talking about the undisputed gold king, Newmont, the large, dynamic silver specialist, First Majestic and a small but highly ambitious player named Strategic Resources, which has made it its mission to redefine the electric mobility value chain. Investors seeking stability often gravitate toward the major producers. But those willing to look further ahead may find considerable upside potential among emerging resource developers. This analysis explores why the ground beneath our feet may hold far more than raw materials—it may also contain the foundations of tomorrow's investment opportunities, at least if you look for it in the right region.
