200% opportunity NOW: How Novo Nordisk, Dryden Gold, and Puma could boost your portfolio
The stock market in 2025 resembles a chessboard of extremes. While volatility is shaking up markets, extraordinary opportunities are emerging in unexpected corners. Established giants are stumbling, but it is precisely sharp price declines that harbor explosive comeback potential. At the same time, commodity newcomers are catching the attention of investors, driven by a sharp rise in the price of gold. And global consumer brands? Their fundamental strength may surprise despite short-term turbulence. Three very different players perfectly illustrate this momentum: Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk, Canadian gold explorer Dryden Gold, and Puma, a German sportswear manufacturer. Their stories could transform your portfolio. This article is disseminated in partnership with Apaton Finance GmbH. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Novo Nordisk – Why the slump seems exaggerated Last week, Novo Nordisk reported a stable second quarter. Revenue of DKK 24.2 billion represents an increase of 16% compared to the previous year, and profits also rose by 25%. Despite this robust result, the share price continued to slide, driven by the reduced annual forecast, which now predicts revenue growth of 8-14% instead of 13-21%, and the change of CEO. Market share losses for key products, such as Wegovy, to competitor Eli Lilly and illegal generic drugs were additional burdens. But that is only half the story. People are forgetting how profitable Novo is. Operating profit shot up 86% in the first half of the year, and net profit almost doubled. Wegovy grew by 67% in Q2 alone, exceeding expectations. The long-term potential is crucial. Obesity affects around 40% of US adults, and less than 1% are treated with medication globally. Novo dominates this growth market with its established products and an advanced pipeline, including products such as CagriSema and Amycretin. Lilly's setback with the weak study results for Orforglipron plays into Novo Nordisk's hands. Novo is currently trading at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of around 12 for 2026, well below its three-year average of around 34. In comparison, its competitor Eli Lilly is valued at a P/E ratio of over 22 for the same period. Even with moderate assumptions of 8-10% growth, the valuation appears overly conservative. Even a return to the historical average P/E ratio of 20 would mean significant upside potential based on conservative earnings forecasts. Although high capital expenditure on production capacity is weighing on cash flow in the short term, it will secure market penetration in the long term. The profitable market leader on its growth path is currently available for EUR 42.52. Dryden Gold – Three reasons to pay attention Canadian exploration company Dryden Gold (TSXV:DRY) has significantly expanded its current capital measure. Instead of the originally planned amount, up to CAD 7.8 million will now flow into the coffers through the sale of various types of shares. The high demand underscores the market's interest. Major shareholder Centerra Gold is also securing its 9.9% stake once again through a top-up right. The fresh capital will flow directly into additional drilling in northwestern Ontario and cover operating costs. For investors, the successful capital measure signals clear confidence in the project. Current drilling results from the flagship Gold Rock project confirm the potential. Several high-grade gold discoveries, including 15.3 g/t over 1.45 m and 5.36 g/t over 5 m, reveal a complex system of repeating structures. These are not isolated but extend for approximately 1 km between the Jubilee and Laurentian target areas. Visible gold was even drilled at a depth of 238 m. The combination of high grades and wide distribution is architecturally similar to productive systems such as Red Lake. Dryden strategically controls a consolidated land package of approximately 70,000 ha in an established mining region of Ontario. Proximity to the Trans-Canada Highway and existing infrastructure keep exploration costs unusually low. Partnerships with First Nations minimize operational risks. With the current funding, the fully financed exploration program can progress rapidly and deliver further results in the near term. For investors, this is not a hype-driven story, but a methodical exploration with clear leverage points such as new zones, depth extensions, and confirmed repeatability of high-grade structures. Analysts at Couloir Capital have issued a price target of CAD 0.65. The stock is currently trading at CAD 0.205, offering more than 100% upside potential. Puma has responded to its recent disappointing quarterly figures. The new key managers are addressing core problems: Former Adidas CIO Andreas Hubert is taking over as COO of the supply chain, bringing with him 12 years of expertise in Asia. This should be crucial for the 'nextlevel' cost-cutting program. Basketball Vice President Archie McEachern, a former Nike manager, is to reposition the lucrative US streetwear division. At the same time, CEO Arthur Höld is demonstrating his confidence in the turnaround by purchasing over EUR 100,000 worth of shares and another EUR 110,000 worth of derivatives on Puma. These targeted appointments directly address the sore points of margin pressure and innovation gaps. The direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment, which is already growing at double-digit rates, up 9.2% in the second quarter with online sales up 19.4%, is becoming a margin lever. Every percentage point increase in the DTC share from the current 31% boosts profitability without wholesale discounts. At the same time, the Company is pushing ahead with its premium strategy. Speedcat sneakers featuring K-pop star Rosé are already achieving high sales figures in Asia and Europe. If Puma manages to increase its DTC share to 40%, roughly the same level as Nike, and anchor its premium positioning in running/basketball, EBIT margins of 8–10% are entirely realistic. The stock is trading at a value of 5.3x EV/EBITDA, compared to around 14x for Adidas and approximately 24x for Nike. Even with moderate assumptions such as a slight recovery in sales in 2026 and a margin of 7%, a re-rating to 8–10x EV/EBITDA appears plausible. That alone implies significant upside potential. The free cash flow yield of a good 13% also offers flexibility. With declining inventory costs and reduced capital expenditures now at EUR 250 million, Puma could either reduce its debt or buy back shares. The share is currently available for EUR 17.255, which is below the price paid by the Management Board. Market volatility in 2025 is opening up selective opportunities for bold investors. Despite short-term setbacks and a valuation correction, Novo Nordisk offers massive long-term growth potential in the profitable obesity market at a favorable P/E ratio. Dryden Gold impresses with strong drilling results, a strategic project location, and fresh capital, which will enable accelerated exploration with significant upside potential relative to the current price. Puma is setting clear levers for a higher-margin recovery with new personnel and a focus on DTC growth and a premium strategy, with the stock appearing extremely undervalued. Diversified, all three offer interesting opportunities, albeit with varying degrees of risk.

Praxis Spinal Cord Institute, Technology for Living and MIMIC Systems Vancouver pilot Novel Solid-State Cooling and Heating System Advancing Climate Resiliency for People with Disabilities
Pilot marks Canadian first in climate-resilient, refrigerant-free heating & cooling technology to assess climate equity. VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 13, 2025 /CNW/ - Through the SCI Climate Futures initiative, Praxis Spinal Cord Institute and Technology for Living (TFL) are advancing innovative solutions to support the health resiliency of individuals vulnerable to rising temperatures. Today, Praxis and TFL are proud to announce the successful installation of the first pilot MIMIC solid-state climate control system in the Vancouver home of an individual living with spinal cord injury (SCI). This milestone was made possible with the generous support of the Gore Mutual Insurance Collaborative Climate and Equity Partnerships grant. For individuals living with SCI, multiple sclerosis (MS), and other chronic conditions that impair the body's natural ability to regulate temperature, prolonged exposure to heat, especially temperatures exceeding 29°C can be life-threatening. Without access to effective cooling technologies, these individuals face daily health risks, including muscle spasms, disorientation, and hospitalization. "At Gore Mutual, we believe that climate resilience must be inclusive. Supporting innovative solutions like the MIMIC system aligns with our commitment to equity and sustainability," said Gaby Polanco Sorto, VP, Purpose, Sustainability and Office of the CEO at Gore Mutual Insurance. "As the founding partner of The Climate and Equity Lab, we remain committed to deepening our collective understanding of how climate change impacts vulnerable communities, and we're proud to partner with organizations that are creating real-world impact for Canadians living with disabilities." MIMiC Systems unveils a solid-state solution for indoor climate control for the built environment, designed to eliminate refrigerants or moving parts. Offering both heating and cooling in a single, compact unit, the system provides a quiet alternative to traditional HVAC, ideal for property owners seeking simplicity, sustainability, and performance. The installation faced several delays due to the complexity of approving novel clean tech in BC, with support from the City of Vancouver essential to the launch of the pilot, highlighting the need for regulatory change to effectively meet the climate resiliency needs of Canadians living with disabilities. "It's been a great experience. The unit is beautiful, and we're really happy our family was chosen for the pilot. Just walking into a cool home makes such a difference. I hope this system helps us stay comfortable while using less energy during the summer"— Pilot PLEX (person with spinal cord injury, lived experience) homeowner. " We're building a new standard for thermal comfort - one that's easy to install, built to last, and aligned with our planet's needs.", said Berardo Matalucci, CEO of MIMiC. "SCI Climate Futures initiative helped us to deploy our first unit to provide heating and cooling to those who need it the most. We're humbled and grateful for all the support. We'd also like to give a huge shoutout to Terra Mechanical Ltd. They've been a fantastic partner for our first install". The installation was completed by Terra Mechanical Ltd., BC HVAC and controls specialists, with support from the MIMIC, Praxis, and TFL teams. It involved close collaboration with the homeowner and building management to ensure compatibility, accessibility, and safety. Valuable feedback gathered during the process is already informing future product refinements. Why It Matters The SCI Climate Futures initiative was launched in response to British Columbia's escalating heat crises, which disproportionately affect people with disabilities. Phase 2 expands the scope to test and validate built-environment technologies that offer year-round thermal regulation. "At Technology for Living, we believe equitable access to assistive technology is essential for the well-being and independence of people with disabilities. This pilot is a powerful example of how inclusive innovation can reduce health risks and support safer, more sustainable living environments." said Ean Price, Innovation Strategist, Technology for Living. "This pilot project is a critical step forward for our SCI Climate Futures initiative," said Bill Barrable, CEO of Praxis Spinal Cord Institute. "The project signifies our dedication to advancing innovative, climate-resilient solutions that protect the health and safety of people with spinal cord injuries and others who are vulnerable to extreme heat. At the core of our mission is improving the lives of individuals living with SCI, especially for those most vulnerable to rising temperatures." Next Steps MIMIC Systems will continue working with the pilot household to monitor performance, energy usage, and user experience, while providing ongoing technical support. A second pilot installation site has already been confirmed and is scheduled for deployment in the coming months. This milestone represents a key step toward a climate-resilient future, one that centers on inclusion, accessibility, and sustainability.
