Hensoldt, Almonty Industries, MTU Aero Engines – Profit-taking after milestone
The signs of a correction on global stock markets are growing. In addition to the historically high Shiller P/E ratio, call options reached their highest share since the meme stock euphoria of 2021 last week, accounting for almost 70% of total option volume. Market sentiment is extremely bullish, which could indicate an imminent consolidation. One of the most promising commodity companies of the future consolidated last week. Following outstanding news, investors cashed in, which could offer long-term entry opportunities. 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. Almonty Industries – Sell on good news The fact that both stock indices and individual stocks move in waves, even during extreme upward movements, is nothing new on the stock market. Consolidations reduce overbought situations and the market looks for 'refueling stations' to find new entry opportunities. This was also the case last week with the up-and-coming tungsten producer Almonty Industry (TSX:AII), which is becoming a beacon of hope for Western raw material supplies thanks to the construction of its mine in South Korea. Following its successful Nasdaq listing in mid-July and the completion of an issue of 20,000,000 common shares at an issue price of USD 4.50 per share, which generated gross proceeds of USD 90 million for the Canadian company and strategically set the course for further expansion, Almonty's share price began to decline. However, long-term investors should bear one thing in mind. With its cash reserves, Almonty is not only expanding its own tungsten oxide production but also creating a unique selling point with its own smelting operation, making it the only fully integrated Western tungsten source, thereby securing its independence from the Chinese refining market. Several analyst firms have recognized this clever move. In their latest study, analysts at GBC AG set the target price as of December 31, 2026, at EUR 5.28, equivalent to CAD 8.50. Compared to similar companies, such as MP Materials, a leading US producer of rare earth elements, there is a significant discrepancy in the valuation of the two companies based on their future EBITDA figures. Almonty currently has a market capitalization of CAD 1.20 billion, significantly less than MP Materials, which is valued at CAD 15.05 billion. However, a look at the EBITDA forecasts paints a very different picture in terms of growth. Almonty is expected to generate EBITDA of CAD 105.18 million in 2026, which is expected to more than triple to CAD 384.55 million by 2028. MP Materials' growth over the same period is significantly more moderate, from USD 125.20 million to just USD 190.92 million. Source: LSEG as of July 25, 2025 Hensoldt – Chart picture looking shaky Defense stocks also showed signs of correction in recent trading sessions. Hensoldt, a specialist in sensor and electronics solutions for defense, security, and aviation applications, which already had a price-to-earnings ratio of over 70, lost over 6% to close the week at EUR 96.95, further clouding the chart picture. A fall below the EUR 95 mark could accelerate a further sell-off, which could only find support at the significant support level in the EUR 76 zone. Investors ignored the announcement of a major order worth more than EUR 340 million to supply state-of-the-art radar systems to Ukraine. According to the Taufkirchen-based company, the current delivery package includes high-performance TRML-4D radars and short-range systems from the SPEXER-2000-3D-MkIII series. The aim of this delivery is to specifically improve Ukraine's air defense capabilities. According to Hensoldt, the TRML-4D radar is capable of detecting up to 1,500 targets simultaneously within a 250 km radius. It detects, tracks, and classifies air targets, such as drones, aircraft, helicopters, and cruise missiles, in real-time. The system is supplemented by the SPEXER radar series, which is designed for shorter ranges. These sensors enable the automatic detection of ground and sea targets as well as low-flying objects. MTU Aero Engines on a rollercoaster ride First, analysts and investors alike applauded the Company's better-than-expected forecasts for the second quarter of 2025. However, after reaching a new all-time high, investors cashed in. Within two trading days, MTU shares lost around 11.50% to a price of EUR 361. In the second quarter, the Company, one of the leading engine manufacturers for Airbus and Boeing, significantly exceeded analysts' expectations and at the same time sent a strong signal for the rest of the year by raising its annual forecast. Revenue increased by 21% to EUR 4.1 billion, while operating profit (EBIT) reached EUR 657 million, marking a positive surprise for the market. Adjusted net profit climbed by 40% year-on-year to EUR 479 million. CEO Lars Wagner confirmed that the Company is clearly on track to achieve its increased annual targets. These targets include a revenue range of between EUR 8.6 and 8.8 billion and an adjusted EBIT growth rate of 21 to 25%. The overall market is reeling, but global indices have managed to remain close to their highs. Defense stocks were particularly hard hit. Almonty Industries' milestone announcements point to attractive long-term entry opportunities.

Mountain Province Diamonds Announces US$10 Million Additional Borrowings Under Bridge Facility
TSX and OTC: MPVD TORONTO and NEW YORK, July 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. (" Mountain Province" or the " Company") (TSX: MPVD) (OTC: MPVD) announces today that it has entered into an amendment (the " Amendment") to the amended and restated bridge credit facility agreement with Dunebridge Worldwide Ltd., (" Dunebridge") to increase such the size of the bridge term facility under that agreement by US$10 million (the " Additional Bridge Term Facility"), from US$30 million to US$40 million. The bridge credit facility agreement, which was originally entered into on February 24, 2025 (and was subsequently amended and restated on May 13, 2024, to provide for a US$33 million working capital facility), provided for US$30 million in immediately available funds to the Company (the " Original Bridge Term Facility"), with the Additional Bridge Term Facility to be made available to the Company at the discretion of Dunebridge on terms and conditions to be agreed to, which are now represented in the Amendment. The Additional Bridge Term Facility will mature on the same date as the Original Bridge Term Facility, on March 18, 2026, and is subject to the same rate of interest of 10.5% per annum, to be capitalized and compounded quarterly on the principal amount and payable on maturity. The interest rate will increase to 12.5% per annum, if the Additional Bridge Term Facility or the Original Bridge Term Facility are not repaid, together with all accrued interest, upon maturity. As consideration for the Additional Bridge Term Facility, the Company will pay Dunebridge a US$1 million fee (the " Facility Fee") on maturity. Payment of the Facility Fee is subject to receipt of disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the TSX Company Manual (the " Manual") at a duly called meeting of the Company's shareholders or such approval no longer being required if the Company obtains an alternative listing of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV") and voluntarily delists its common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Company has not yet determined whether it will proceed with pursuing a listing on the TSXV. Failure to either obtain the requisite disinterested shareholder approval under the Manual or obtain an alternative listing of its common shares on the TSXV in advance of January 25, 2026, unless waived or extended by the lender will constitute an event of default under the amended and restated bridge facility agreement. MI 61-101 Reliance on Exemption for Financial Difficulty in Respect of Additional Bridge Facility Dunebridge is a "related party" of the Company, for the purposes of MI 61-101 and the entering into of the Amendment is a related party transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101"). The Amendment is being completed pursuant to an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements applicable to a related party transaction under section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101 on the grounds that the Company is in serious financial difficulty. The board of directors of the Company, acting in good faith, and all of the Company's independent directors, acting in good faith, have determined that entering into the Amendment, generally, and the Additional Bridge Term Facility, including the Facility Fee, is reasonable given the financial difficulties that the Company is facing (the " MI 61-101 Exemption"). TSX Conditional Approval On the basis that the Amendment involves Dunebridge, an insider and related party of the Company, but does not involve the issuance or potential issuance of the listed securities of the Company, MPD applied for, and received, the TSX's conditional approval for the Amendment and under Section 501(c) of the TSX Company Manual. The TSX provided conditional approval of the Amendment on the basis that the value of the consideration to insiders in respect of the Additional Bridge Facility (excluding the Facility Fee) will not exceed 10% of the Company's market capitalization as of July 28, 2025, being approximately CAD11.68 million. Value of Consideration to Insiders The value of the consideration to insiders for the Additional Bridge Facility (excluding the Facility Fee) is an estimated CAD959,000 as of July 28, 2025 or 8% of the market capitalization of the Company discussed above. Such consideration reflects the interest consideration payable on the Additional Bridge Facility on maturity. The value of the consideration to insiders for the Additional Bridge Facility (including the Facility Fee) is an estimated CAD2,329,000 as of July 28, 2025 or 20% of the market capitalization of the Company discussed above. Such consideration reflects the interest consideration payable on the Additional Bridge Facility on maturity plus the amount of the Facility Fee. About Mountain Province Diamonds Inc.
