When it comes to German return monsters for 2025, investors rightly think primarily of defense companies like Rheinmetall, RENK, Hensoldt, and Steyr Motors. However, with a 250% gain, the Veganz Group may well be the surprise of the year. The Company is currently reinventing itself and attacking a billion-dollar market. Analyst estimates appear to be far too conservative and are likely to be revised upward soon. The stock, therefore, remains very attractive. Hensoldt has multiplied in value in recent years and is now supplying radar systems for the protection of Ukraine. The order volume is in the mid-three-digit million range. Steyr Motors will have to grow to this revenue range in the coming years to justify its current valuation. Analysts nevertheless recommend buying the stock.

    Veganz Group reinvents itself: Stock set to multiply?

    The Veganz Group is currently delivering the comeback story of the year in Germany. The healthy food specialist has undergone a significant transformation in recent months. Instead of having to push a large number of vegan products onto the market, it is now entering billion-dollar markets with an innovative food tech model. It is also divesting itself of subsidiaries. OrbiFarm GmbH is currently being sold for EUR 30 million plus a share of profits. To put this into context: at a current share price of EUR 18.35, the Company is valued at just EUR 37.25 million. Apart from a long-term bond with a volume of EUR 10 million, Veganz is also debt-free.

    The new gem in the Group is Mililk FoodTech GmbH. The Company is engaged in revolutionary technology for food production. The initial focus is on plant-based milk alternatives. Using a patented 2D printing process, oat milk, for example, can be produced in a concentrated form and then liquefied at the customer's premises, such as coffee chains or fast food restaurants. The product is even organic and barista-quality. The advantages are significant: no refrigeration is required, a long shelf life is achieved, up to 85% less weight and volume are used, up to 94% less packaging material is utilized, and up to 90% CO2 savings are realized. The result is a compelling mix of very low transport and logistics costs, along with significant waste reduction.

    A production site has already been identified in the US to produce more than 60 million litres of plant-based milk alternatives annually. Six new production sites are even planned in Europe. The sales potential is therefore likely to exceed EUR 100 million. Anyone who wants to try the milk can already order it online here

    Accordingly, mwb Research is likely to be revised soon. Analysts currently expect revenues of EUR 37 million for 2026 and EUR 59 million for 2027. This seems far too low, considering Mililk alone. Despite the previous estimates, the current price target remains EUR 21.50. Following the completion of the OrbiFarm deal, analysts see additional value of EUR 10.80 per share.

    A strong news flow is expected in the coming weeks – from the Company and analysts. This strongly suggests rising price targets and a corresponding increase in the share price.

    Steyr Motors: A breather after 300%

    While the Veganz story is just getting started and the stock looks promising, Steyr Motors is taking a breather. However, this is also important because, at a current price of EUR 57.80, the stock has gained over 300% in the current year and is now worth EUR 300 million on the stock market. It should not be forgotten that the share price briefly exceeded EUR 300 during the defense hype, and the valuation shot up into the billions.

    In contrast, the specialist engine manufacturer generated revenue of EUR 41.7 million in 2024. Although growth is expected to gain momentum in the coming years, driven by engines for military vehicles, this momentum is urgently needed to justify the valuation to some extent. On the plus side, the Austrian company holds an order backlog of around EUR 200 million. Analysts at Hauck Aufhäuser therefore recommend buying Steyr shares with a price target of EUR 61.

    Hensoldt: EUR 340 million order from Ukraine

    On Sunday night, Russia launched another massive air strike against Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reported the interception of several hundred hostile drones. Hensoldt is playing a role in strengthening Ukraine's defenses. The German military electronics specialist recently reported an order worth EUR 340 million. According to the report, the technology company will supply TRML-4D high-performance radars and SPEXER 2000 3D MkIII short-range radars to Ukraine.

    Hensoldt CEO Oliver Dörre commented: "Our high-performance radars are urgently needed by the Ukrainian air defense forces. Several radars have been protecting Ukraine since the start of Russia's war of aggression. We are proud to be supplying additional systems. The radars are extremely important for protecting citizens." Hensoldt has decades of experience with radar systems for air defense and is driving forward the further development of key technologies. Hensoldt also supplies radars for the German Navy's new frigates and corvettes, as well as for airspace surveillance and approach control at German Air Force bases, among other applications. It is therefore not surprising that the share price has risen by 170% in the current year. Since 2022, the increase has been around 720%.


    Defence stocks appear to have taken a breather for the moment. This is healthy and in line with their performance in recent months and years. In contrast, the revaluation of Veganz seems far from over. The Company is currently reinventing itself, and analyst estimates appear to be far too low.

    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.

    Stock markets are racing from one record high to the next. AI stocks and tech giants, in particular, have now reached valuations that many experts already consider overheated. Investors are therefore increasingly wondering where attractive opportunities can still be found. But beyond the obvious market favourites, compelling investment stories continue to emerge. Whether strategic raw materials for the new world order, beneficiaries of the global energy boom, or companies with billion-dollar potential in the security sector, some companies may still be only at the beginning of a much larger upward trend despite already trading near all-time highs.

    USD 1.5 Trillion US Defence Budget for 2027 – Up 44% Year over Year: Volatus Aerospace Provides the Drone Technology

    The new US defence budget request for 2027 is a bombshell at USD 1.5 trillion. That is 44% more than the previous year. But the real bombshell is the strategic realignment. A full USD 63 billion is earmarked for unmanned systems alone. One Canadian company is ideally equipped for this, though it comes from an unusual background. Instead of relying solely on military technology, Volatus Aerospace has spent years monitoring pipelines, power lines, and offshore wind farms. This commercial foundation could now prove to be a decisive advantage.
