Antimony Resources – Exciting News Flow and Price Pullback as an Opportunity
The company is continuing to advance its flagship Bald Hill project in the Canadian province of New Brunswick and recently delivered strong drilling data. Additionally, the company reported on the commencement of new, extensive exploration activities and the associated targets. These are important indicators for investors regarding upcoming milestones, which should provide significant momentum for the stock.
The latest data confirmed the high-grade and extensive system containing massive antimony-bearing stibnite (Sb) mineralization. Antimony grades of 8.1% and 13.9% were reported, along with mineralized widths of up to 6.2 m. This allowed the company to extend the main zone at depth while also testing additional target areas.
This reinforces the findings of the previous technical report, which indicated that the property contains 2.7 million tonnes grading 3 to 4% antimony, equivalent to an estimated 81,000 to 108,000 t of contained antimony metal. This would make Bald Hill one of the largest and highest-grade antimony projects in North America. In addition, newly identified zones such as Marcus, which are now a key focus of exploration activities, could materially expand the project’s overall scale.
“We are pleased that the next drilling program has begun. As part of this program, an additional 18,000 m of core drilling will be carried out, targeting the ‘Marcus,’ ‘Central,’ and ‘South’ zones at Bald Hill. Our regional exploration, which has identified at least three areas with anomalous antimony values in soil, will be significantly expanded to potentially cover the entire property, which now encompasses more than 37 km² of promising land,” commented CEO James Atkinson on the developments.
Ongoing activities will provide a steady flow of news. This should end the current consolidation, which has brought the stock down to a level of CAD 0.61. The company’s market capitalization is CAD 63 million. GBC analysts assign the stock a price target of CAD 3, indicating fivefold upside potential.
A key milestone is the resource estimate in accordance with Canadian Standard 43-101, to be announced no later than spring 2027. Environmental studies, a crucial step prior to the start of production, are already underway.
Rheinmetall – How far will the stock price fall?
The stock of the German defence conglomerate continues its downward slide to below EUR 1,200. Market participants believe that the end of the war in Ukraine would remove a key driver of the share price, which analysts say would particularly affect defence companies with a high proportion of revenue from land systems such as ammunition, tanks, and transport vehicles. This is the prevailing view regarding stocks like Rheinmetall and RENK.
Many analysts have lowered their price targets to around EUR 1,500, partly in response to the recently reported weak start to the year. However, business is generally expected to pick up this year. The group is consistently expanding its presence in the marine, aerospace, and satellite communications sectors. Recently, it announced its entry into the kamikaze drone sector. In addition, Deutsche Telekom and Rheinmetall are jointly developing drone defence systems.
Currently, the medium-term growth prospects for defence stocks are being downplayed. Sentiment is negative. However, the structurally high and still-rising demand cannot be dismissed, given the enormous defence budgets and the complex geopolitical situation. According to the majority of analysts, the shares currently have upside of 30% or more.
TKMS – A EUR 10 billion order on the horizon
The submarine builder is currently in a neck-and-neck race with its Korean competitor Hanwha Ocean for a major contract from Canada. However, according to CEO Oliver Burkhard, the Germans are fairly certain they will come out on top. According to unconfirmed media reports, the contract volume exceeds EUR 10 billion.
The most recent second-quarter figures presented a mixed picture. Revenue exceeded market expectations, but the margin was disappointing. Noteworthy is the current order backlog of EUR 20.6 billion. This compares to a market capitalization of EUR 4.7 billion. The stock price has not been dragged down by the generally negative trend in the sector and currently stands at EUR 72. Analysts see an average upside potential of around 30%.
The current price pullbacks present attractive entry opportunities. Sentiment toward defence stocks is negative. However, the structural growth drivers remain intact, which analysts say could unlock upside for Rheinmetall and TKMS. According to GBC analysts, Antimony Resources’ upside potential is on a completely different level, with the potential to increase fivefold! Antimony is a strategically highly relevant raw material in a market characterized by rising demand, structural supply bottlenecks, and a lack of substitutes. The latest news underscores the quality of the flagship Bald Hill project as North America’s highest-grade antimony deposit. The accelerated advancement of the project is likely to support higher share price levels.
