What Happened
Almonty Industries Inc. (ALI1.DE) experienced a notable increase in its stock price, jumping 14.45% intraday to €14.26 on XETRA on February 25, 2026. This surge positions it among Germany’s top gainers for the day, with trading volume reaching 248,487 shares, surpassing the average of 218,504 shares. The stock’s price approached its year high of €14.30 following a multi-month rally from €1.41.
Why It Matters
The rise in ALI1.DE stock is attributed to heightened market interest driven by reports of stronger tungsten prices and updated research coverage indicating improved pricing for tungsten concentrates. Analysts from Couloir Capital have doubled Almonty’s fair value estimate to CAD 19.30, citing a critical supply squeeze due to geopolitical factors, including Western defense bans and China’s export controls on tungsten. The spot price for Ammonium Paratungstate (APT) has reportedly reached approximately $1,738 per metric ton unit by mid-February 2026.
What’s Next
As the demand for tungsten continues to rise, traders are closely monitoring Almonty Industries’ performance. The stock’s current valuation and fundamentals remain a topic of discussion among investors, particularly in light of the anticipated U.S. regulation banning the procurement of tungsten from certain countries effective January 1, 2027. The market will be watching to see if Almonty can maintain its momentum and how it will navigate the evolving landscape of tungsten supply and demand.
