Another 150%+ with Almonty stock? US defense industry and NASDAQ listing drive revaluation of the tungsten gem!
The revaluation of Almonty (TSX:AII) shares is progressing excellently and gaining new momentum. After rising over 150 per cent within six months, the tungsten gem has consolidated healthily in recent weeks. However, there are good reasons to expect further price increases: China is using tungsten as a weapon in the geopolitical power struggle. The latest major order for Almonty from the US shows how urgently defense companies – but also other key industries – need this critical metal. An upcoming NASDAQ listing is expected to drive the share price and could pave the way for an anchor investor or even lead to a takeover. Analysts consider the fair value of Almonty shares well above the current level. Major order from the US defense industry
Next big news for Almonty: The US defense industry has secured the Company's tungsten supply for at least three years. It is noteworthy that a minimum purchase price is guaranteed, but there is no upper limit. This shows once again how much demand there is for tungsten. Under the current major order, US defense company Tungsten Parts Wyoming has committed to purchasing at least 40 tons of tungsten oxide per month from Almonty (TSX:AII). The raw material will then be processed into tungsten metal powder by Metal Tech in the US or Israel. The partners announced that Almonty's tungsten is intended exclusively for US defense programs, including missile, drone, and explosive systems. Tungsten Parts Wyoming's customers include virtually all major US defense contractors, such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics. Tungsten Parts Wyoming manufactures armor-piercing ammunition, sabot projectiles, armor protection, and missile components, among other things.
Almonty CEO Lewis Black commented: ' This binding purchase agreement represents an important milestone for Almonty. Beyond commercial certainty, the agreement ensures that our tungsten oxide will be used in a strategic, high-value end application, strengthening Almonty's position as a key supplier to the US defense supply chain and its allies .' Stock revaluation underway
With this new major order, Almonty confirms that the revaluation of its stock, initiated at the end of 2024, is based on fundamental reasons. Tungsten is a critical metal, essential for key technologies such as defense, medical technology, and high-tech applications – it can even be found in iPhones. At the same time, more than 80 per cent of global tungsten production comes from China. It is therefore not surprising that Lewis Black has regularly reported on visits by politicians and industry representatives from the US, South Korea, and Europe in recent years. After all, Almonty already operates a profitable tungsten mine in Portugal, which is set for further expansion. However, it is the project in South Korea that is driving the stock's revaluation. After years of development work – financed in part by the German KfW Bank – Almonty is preparing to bring the Sangdong mine into operation soon. Sangdong will not only be the largest tungsten mine outside China, but will also stand out for its high quality, with a tungsten grade of 0.46 per cent. For comparison: Almonty's profitable Panasqueira mine in Portugal has a tungsten content of 0.14 per cent. New all-time high with NASDAQ listing?
In mid-April 2025, Almonty shares, which are also actively traded in Germany, reached their highest price of CAD 2.63. Since then, they have consolidated at a high level. In addition to further major orders and the commissioning of the Sangdong mine, the planned listing on the NASDAQ technology exchange should be a driver for the share price – to a new all-time high? Incidentally, the Company's headquarters are also to be relocated from Canada to the US – perhaps to facilitate a takeover or the entry of a US group? The latter is pure speculation. What is clear, however, is that with a market capitalization of CAD 665 million, Almonty shares are now large enough for institutional US investors and, at the same time, appear anything but expensive given the market potential. Analysts see fair value at CAD 5.40
A glance at analyst estimates shows that Almonty is still undervalued. Sphene Capital expects Almonty's revenue to jump from around CAD 29 million to CAD 104.5 million in the current year. With the ramp-up of the Sangdong mine, this figure could reach CAD 483.4 million in 2027. Earnings are expected to climb at a similarly dynamic pace in the coming years. After CAD 0.20 in 2026, earnings per share are expected to reach CAD 0.51 in 2027. Yesterday, Almonty shares were trading at CAD 2.40. Sphene Capital analysts therefore recommend buying the tungsten gem and see the fair value of the share at CAD 5.40 (more-ir.de/d/32340.pdf).
Capital market expert Mario Hose recently shared his thoughts on Almonty's current situation and future potential in an interview with Canadian host Lyndsay Malchuk from Stockhouse. The CEO of the German company Apaton Finance has been following Almonty's development for many years and knows CEO Lewis Black personally. In his view, Almonty differs significantly from many of its competitors in the commodities sector, and the next success stories should only be a matter of time. Click here for the full interview. Conclusion: Another 150%?
There are many indications that the revaluation of Almonty shares is far from over. Tungsten is simply too important a metal and too scarce in Western countries. Almonty is unlikely to have any trouble selling its production. And perhaps a major corporation will acquire a stake in the tungsten gem – or even take it over completely – but if so, it will almost certainly be at a significantly higher price.

Transat shares leap after restructure of hefty pandemic debt
MONTREAL – Transat AT Inc. shares jumped 14 per cent in mid-afternoon trading Thursday after the travel company announced major restructuring of pandemic-era debt. The Montreal-based company, which owns Air Transat, says it has cut its outstanding debt with a federal Crown corporation by more than half to $334 million as part of the agreement. Transat says it will pay off $41.4 million in cash, consolidate part of its credit into a single $175-million facility and issue a $158.8-million debenture to a Canada Development Investment Corp. subsidiary. Transat will also issue the federal entity $16.3 million in shares for a 19.9 per cent stake in the company under a debt-for-equity swap. ATB Capital Markets analyst Chris Murray says the debt restructure comes on 'highly favourable terms' for Transat, given the red ink on its balance sheet. Transat was one of several airline outfits to take advantage of federal aid packages during the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw border closures and health restrictions wreak havoc on carrier earnings. The deal remains subject to definitive agreements being carried out and documents putting the transaction into effect.

Trump suggests Ukraine, Russia may need to ‘fight for a while'
President Donald Trump said Thursday that it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia 'fight for a while' before pulling them apart and pursuing peace. In an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump likened the war in Ukraine — which Russia invaded in early 2022 — to a fight between two young children who hated each other. 'Sometimes you're better off letting them a fight for a while and then pulling them apart,' Trump said. He added that he had relayed that analogy to Russian President Vladimir Putin in their phone conversation on Wednesday. Asked about Trump's comments as the two leaders sat next to each other, Merz stressed that both he and Trump agreed 'on this war and how terrible this war is going on,' pointing to the U.S. president as the 'key person in the world' who would be able to stop the bloodshed. Story continues below advertisement But Merz also emphasized that Germany 'was on the side of Ukraine' and that Kyiv was only attacking military targets, not Russian civilians. 'We are trying to get them stronger,' Merz said of Ukraine. 6:30 Little Progress Made in Russia and Ukraine Peace Talks Thursday's meeting marked the first time that the two leaders sat down in person. After exchanging pleasantries — Merz gave Trump a gold-framed birth certificate of the U.S president's grandfather Friedrich Trump, who immigrated from Germany — the two leaders were to discuss issues such as Ukraine, trade and NATO spending. Trump and Merz have spoken several times by phone, either bilaterally or with other European leaders, since Merz took office on May 6. German officials say the two leaders have started to build a 'decent' relationship, with Merz wanting to avoid the antagonism that defined Trump's relationship with one of his predecessors, Angela Merkel, in the Republican president's first term. Story continues below advertisement The 69-year-old Merz — who came to office with an extensive business background — is a conservative former rival of Merkel's who took over her party after she retired from politics. A White House official said topics that Trump is likely to raise with Merz include Germany's defense spending, trade, Ukraine and what the official called 'democratic backsliding,' saying the administration's view is that shared values such as freedom of speech have deteriorated in Germany and the country should reverse course. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to preview the discussions. But Merz told reporters Thursday morning that if Trump wanted to talk German domestic politics, he was ready to do that but he also stressed Germany holds back when it comes to American domestic politics.

Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Merz has thrown himself into diplomacy on Ukraine, traveling to Kyiv with fellow European leaders days after taking office and receiving Zelenskyy in Berlin last week. He has thanked Trump for his support for an unconditional ceasefire while rejecting the idea of 'dictated peace' or the 'subjugation' of Ukraine and advocating for more sanctions against Russia. In their first phone call since Merz became chancellor, Trump said he would support the efforts of Germany and other European countries to achieve peace, according to a readout from the German government. Merz also said last month that 'it is of paramount importance that the political West not let itself be divided, so I will continue to make every effort to produce the greatest possible unity between the European and American partners.' Story continues below advertisement 1:55 Russia and Ukraine agree to prisoner swap, but peace talks stall Under Merz's immediate predecessor, Olaf Scholz, Germany became the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States. Merz has vowed to keep up the support and last week pledged to help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that would be free of any range limits. In his remarks on Thursday, Trump still left the threat of sanctions on the table. He said sanctions could be imposed for both Ukraine and Russia. 'When I see the moment where it's not going to stop … we'll be very, very tough,' Trump said. At home, Merz's government is intensifying a drive that Scholz started to bolster the German military after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In Trump's first term, Berlin was a target of his ire for failing to meet the current NATO target of spending two per cent of gross domestic product on defense, and Trump is now demanding at least five per cent from allies. Story continues below advertisement The White House official said the upcoming NATO summit in the Netherlands later this month is a 'good opportunity' for Germany to commit to meeting that five per cent mark. Scholz set up a 100 billion euro (US$115 billion) special fund to modernize Germany's armed forces — called the Bundeswehr — which had suffered from years of neglect. Germany has met the two per cent target thanks to the fund, but it will be used up in 2027. Merz has said that 'the government will in the future provide all the financing the Bundeswehr needs to become the strongest conventional army in Europe.' He has endorsed a plan for all allies to aim to spend 3.5 per cent of GDP on their defense budgets by 2032, plus an extra 1.5 per cent on potentially defense-related things like infrastructure. Another top priority for Merz is to get Germany's economy, Europe's biggest, moving again after it shrank the past two years. He wants to make it a 'locomotive of growth,' but Trump's tariff threats are a potential obstacle for a country whose exports have been a key strength. At present, the economy is forecast to stagnate in 2025. Germany exported US$160 billion worth of goods to the U.S. last year, according to the Census Bureau. That was about US$85 billion more than what the U.S. sent to Germany, a trade deficit that Trump wants to erase. Story continues below advertisement 'Germany is one of the very big investors in America,' Merz told reporters Thursday morning. 'Only a few countries invest more than Germany in the USA. We are in third place in terms of foreign direct investment.' 0:28 Ukraine claims drone strike on Russian air bases as both sides prepare for peace talks The U.S. president has specifically gone after the German auto sector, which includes major brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen. Americans bought US$36 billion worth of cars, trucks and auto parts from Germany last year, while the Germans purchased US$10.2 billion worth of vehicles and parts from the U.S. Trump's 25 per cent tariff on autos and parts is specifically designed to increase the cost of German-made automobiles in hopes of causing them to move their factories to the U.S., even though many of the companies already have plants in the U.S. with Volkswagen in Tennessee, BMW in South Carolina and Mercedes-Benz in Alabama and South Carolina. Story continues below advertisement There's only so much Merz can achieve on his view that tariffs 'benefit no one and damage everyone' while in Washington, as trade negotiations are a matter for the European Union's executive commission. Trump recently delayed a planned 50 per cent tariff on goods coming from the European Union, which would have otherwise gone into effect this month. One source of strain in recent months is a speech Vice President JD Vance gave in Munich shortly before Germany's election in February, in which he lectured European leaders about the state of democracy on the continent and said there is no place for 'firewalls.' That term is frequently used to describe mainstream German parties' refusal to work with the far-right Alternative for Germany, which finished second in the election and is now the biggest opposition party. Merz criticized the comments. He told ARD television last month that it isn't the place of a U.S. vice president 'to say something like that to us in Germany; I wouldn't do it in America, either.' —Moulson reported from Berlin. Associated Press writer Josh Boak in Washington contributed to this report.
