In recent months, the society around the globe has been going through a process of change of deceleration and standstill. Priorities have been redefined and implemented at record speeds in many places. Covid-19 serves as a catalyst for change for many people. The reasons can be different. The development of corona vaccines and antibody tests will make a lot of money in the future and the legalization of cannabis in the USA on a federal level has the potential to create a renaissance.

    Legalization in the USA is expected

    Medical cannabis is already legalized in 33 states in the USA and thus about 221 million people, about 67% of the total US population, have access to the natural substance. Fifty years ago, only about 12% of US citizens were in favor of legalizing marijuana, but since then the popularity has grown to 66%.

    In addition, the racism debate in the USA also plays a role in the legalization issue, because around 80% of arrests involving marijuana affect people with dark skin. For this reason, experts assume that a legalization of cannabis at the federal level will take place within the next two years - detached from the outcome of the elections in November 2020.

    Recovery of the cannabis industry expected

    In the tailwind of a legalization in the USA and the increasing use of cannabis in medicine, EXMceuticals and XPhyto will also grow. Both companies are active in the cannabis sector and thus part of the expanding eco-system of products, therapies and suppliers. The quality and individuality will become increasingly important.

    For this reason, it can be worthwhile to focus more on smaller companies than on the big players who try to cover the whole value chain with a lot of money. Usually too much complexity leads to inefficiency. Therefore, focused niche players can have an advantage.

    Vaccine can slow down Covid-19

    BioNTech also focuses on individuality, as the company is working on the development of individualized options for the treatment of cancer. In addition, the biotech company is currently working with Pfizer on the development of a vaccine against Covid-19 in order to be able to limit the spread of the pandemic. In view of the fact that new hotspots of spread are constantly emerging worldwide, the global demand for a vaccine is correspondingly high.

    Biotech stocks on the verge of a breakout? Evotec, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics

    • Biotechnology
    • Cannabis
    • Cancer

    Biotech stocks have largely missed out on the rally of recent weeks. But this could change. Some have interesting chart constellations or a positive news flow. Sooner or later, the stock should then also react with a breakout. After the horror year 2022, Evotec received several positive reports within a few days. The share price has also jumped. At BioNTech, investors are looking away from the COVID-19 vaccine and towards the development pipeline. But, analysts disagree. Are 100% share price gains on the cards? Analysts believe that Cardiol Therapeutics' stock has even more potential than that. Its main product against heart inflammation is already in the Phase II pilot study, and the necessary capital for further development is available. All three shares are recommended as a buy by analysts.

    The BIO Deutschland association represents the German biotech industry. According to an announcement on January 18, financing of biotech companies plummeted by 2/3 in 2022. Overall, the sector raised only EUR 920 million in equity. During the Corona pandemic, many biotech stocks did well. Subsequently, profit-taking occurred and rising interest rates put additional pressure on stocks. That could change in 2023. Meanwhile, some companies are valued low, and so these companies appear on the radar of investors from the United States. According to Handelsblatt, Water Street, an investment company focused on pharma and biotech, has already invested EUR 1 billion, mainly in Germany. A total of EUR 6 billion is to be invested.
