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.

    Greenland crisis averted! Boom in gold, silver, and critical metals boosts Antimony Resources

    Donald, Donald, Donald! What more is there to say? The recent conflict over Greenland is causing considerable unrest in the markets, especially in the defense and raw materials sectors. The palpable tensions between the major powers over influence and resources have led to wild fluctuations in defense stocks and have intensified the psychological pressure to secure critical metals. Many stocks feel like hot potatoes, while others reveal a deeper, more solid upward trend beneath the short-term price movements: the race for strategic raw materials has long since become a geopolitical chess game. The US player sees itself as the queen with a triple life on the chessboard, turning all other participants into obedient pawns. But the day before yesterday came the big castling move, and the fog briefly cleared. Risk-conscious investors should now take a closer look at commodity stocks such as Antimony Resources because this is where the polar bear is raging!

    The battle for resources is being fought in the data room: How Aspermont Uses AI to Boost the Returns of Rio Tinto, Alamos Gold & Co.

    It is the greatest paradox of the modern economy: while demand for copper, lithium, and rare earths is exploding due to trade wars and the insatiable appetite of the AI industry, building a new mine has never been more difficult. Large mining corporations are increasingly failing not because of geology, but because of bureaucracy, environmental regulations, and, in remote regions of the world, geopolitical pitfalls. In this new era, where a legally binding permit is often more valuable than spectacular drilling results, validated information is becoming the most critical resource in the commodities sector. Analyst firms such as McKinsey and the International Energy Agency (IEA) warn of a massive structural supply deficit, as the development of new mines in the West often requires more than a decade of legal wrangling. It is precisely in this area of tension that the Australian media and tech company Aspermont is positioning itself as the decisive problem solver. With a treasure trove of data spanning centuries of industrial history and a new alliance with industry giant Rio Tinto, the Company is transforming itself from a media company into a kind of "Google of mining" – offering investors an opportunity based on intelligence rather than luck.

    The rules of the global economy are being rewritten. It is no longer market forces alone that determine the course of events, but geopolitical strategies and the battle for critical resources. In this new geo-economy, the ability to assert oneself in a politically driven cycle determines success or failure. Three companies are exemplary on this front line and reveal the concrete opportunities and risks: electric mobility pioneer BYD, zinc producer Pasinex Resources, and mining giant Rio Tinto.
