    All signs point to success

    BioNTech and Valeo Pharma are addressing the issue of the corona pandemic in two different ways. BioNTech is investing a lot of money in research, development, and testing to get a vaccine against Covid-19 ready for the market. The company is also simultaneously building up production capacities to be able to market the highest possible number of vaccine doses as quickly as possible. In the race for a vaccine, different interests come to the fore.

    Of national interest

    Whoever first brings a vaccine against Covid-19 onto the market will not only have demonstrated competence but will also pave a responsible way out of the restrictions for politicians and industry. Once a vaccine is available to the general public, it is the individual responsibility of citizens to ensure that the protective measure is implemented. The state has thus fulfilled its duty. Those who do not follow the advice and the solution are likely to be more or less left to their own devices, with the consequences.

    Much upside, little downside

    Valeo Pharma takes a different approach, as it does not carry out its research and development, but focuses on the marketing of drugs that have already been proven to be effective. Valeo Pharma usually works with smaller biotech companies whose focus and expertise is in research and development. With a portfolio of nine different compounds, the company can now generate revenues without being exposed to research risks. From the investors' perspective, this approach means diversified and steady growth.

    Investors position themselves

    In response to Covid-19, Valeo Pharma has recently launched the commercialisation of Hesperco. According to experts, the active ingredient contained in Hesperco strengthens the immune system and can therefore be used to prevent Covid-19. The product is particularly suitable for the target group that does not want to opt for vaccination and is considering alternative options as a replacement. The share price can gain 13.8% to CAD 1.32 in the run-up to the quarterly results. Operating results were announced today after the close of trading in Canada. The company has been invited to a conference call tomorrow, Wednesday 30 September 2020.

    Waiting for the upturn

    The Bayer Group, on the other hand, could not attract any attention for a specific active ingredient in the context of the Corona pandemic. However, the company is broadly positioned in the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors and is expected to benefit in connection with an economic recovery in the coming year. Historically, the company's share is valued at around EUR 55.00, which is low and currently demands a great deal of patience and understanding from investors.

    Pharma as a defensive alternative: Eli Lilly, Formycon and GSK in focus

    • Pharma
    • Health
    • Weight-loss injection
    • Generics
    • GSK
    • Formycon
    • Biosimilars
    • Eli Lilly

    This year we have repeatedly seen major rotations, particularly in the US equity markets. When AI stocks weakened, other sectors, such as utilities and pharma, performed well. No real money was withdrawn from the markets in the process. Pharma stocks could be among the big winners if the major indices suffer a serious crash. An end to the AI boom, for example, would be a disaster for investors and market participants. Investors looking to gradually adopt a more defensive position should consider adding healthcare stocks to their portfolio. In the past, this strategy has certainly often proved its worth. Today we therefore look at the shares of Formycon, Eli Lilly and GSK.

    When the stock market gets it wrong: Schott Pharma clears its name; Lahontan Gold and Instone are the next candidates

    • Speciality glass
    • Gold
    • Real estate
    • Chemicals
    • Silver
    • Expropriation
    • Health
    • Berlin
    • Misvaluations
    • Mining
    • Schott Pharma
    • Instone Real Estate
    • Lahontan Gold

    Markets are quick to judge, and often paint companies with a broad brush. When one company runs into difficulties, its competitors immediately come under suspicion too. Schott Pharma has already been through this and dispelled the doubts with strong figures. Its share price is recovering. For Lahontan Gold and Instone Real Estate, the recovery has yet to come. The Canadian gold explorer is being punished alongside the major producers, while the property developer is being grouped with Berlin's residential landlords. In both cases, the facts tell a different story. The share price upside is considerable.

    New Orders, a New Shareholder and a New Bid: Fresh Developments at HPQ Silicon, CTS Eventim and Qiagen

    Sometimes a single announcement is enough to reshape the story behind a stock. At HPQ Silicon, certified high-performance cells and initial orders could mark the transition from a development project to a commercial supplier. At CTS Eventim, the arrival of an activist investor has sparked fresh interest. At Qiagen, meanwhile, a takeover offer could lead to a bidding war between two financial investors. Three shares, three potential share price drivers – but also three very different risk and reward profiles. We take a closer look at the trio in our stock review.
