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.

    Siemens Energy, TKMS, and Almonty Industries! Profits surge, forecasts raised, target prices raised!

    Almonty shares remain high flyers. Even though the overall market is weakening, every dip is being used as an opportunity to buy Almonty shares. And for good reason. The price of tungsten is exploding, and analysts are only slowly taking this into account. Further price target increases are likely to follow. Siemens Energy's share price and target price are also rising. The German energy technology group is profiting handsomely from the AI boom. The current quarterly figures are convincing, but there is no room for error in the valuation. Recently listed TKMS has raised its forecast. However, investors are reacting cautiously. Analysts' opinions remain divided. Is there a margin problem looming?

    The right stocks, the right timing: Silver Viper Minerals, Siemens, and Infineon – New all-time highs?

    Siemens is marching ahead. Business is booming, annual targets have been raised, and the stock is at an all-time high. Infineon is still a long way off the historic levels seen during the New Market era, but it is heading in the right direction. The high price of silver, structural supply deficits, and the growing importance of high-grade properties in established mining regions are bringing Silver Viper Minerals shares into the focus of investor interest – especially after the brief correction at a high level. The timing is right!

    Defense Stocks Consolidate: Sideways Phase or 100% Upside Potential? Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, Power Metallic, and CSG

    Investors would have hoped for a different outcome since October 2025. While commodity stocks climbed to historic highs, the market's former favorites in the defense sector saw their first significant wave of profit-taking. Rheinmetall fell from EUR 2,005 to EUR 1,450, Renk dropped from EUR 95 to below EUR 50, and Hensoldt declined from EUR 117 to EUR 65. Although these stocks later recovered some percentage points, new record highs have yet to materialize. The situation was quite different in the critical metals sector - the supply chain companies serving the defense sector. Since autumn, one thing has become increasingly clear: materials are running scarce. This is because the growth of the newly beloved defense industry requires huge quantities of metal. With high-tech components embedded in virtually all modern systems, copper in particular is in high demand, along with rare earths and tungsten. The recent explosion in copper prices to over USD 13,500 speaks volumes. Investors may want to consider reallocating their portfolios, as high metal prices are likely to lead to declining margins in the future, particularly in the defense sector. Here are a few ideas.
