In international comparison, BioNTech is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the fight against corona. The research team is receiving substantial funding and support from investors and government agencies for the development of a vaccine against Covid-19. NEL ASA is one of the pioneers in the hydrogen sector and is involved in the development of plant infrastructure for multiple projects. BYD is a company from China that trades as a future competitor of Tesla in investor circles. All companies have proven to be successful. Their share prices have reflected this success having multiplied drastically this year. This has resulted in several billion Euro market valuations. Once a vaccine against Covid-19 becomes available, one industry will benefit particularly and it offers an excellent entry scenario for investors.

    Total deceleration of everyday life

    The spread of Covid-19 has brought many areas of everyday life to a standstill. During the particularly severe restrictions from March to May 2020, the streets were empty and air traffic significantly less. During this time, most people only bought their essentials. People felt vulnerable and restricted their consumption in fear of the unknown - or were forced to out of lack of choice.

    Vaccinations are being prepared

    Due to the efforts being made by biotechnology companies such as BioNTech, CureVac, and Sanofi to bring a vaccine against Covid-19 to market maturity, it is expected that vaccinations can be started in the first quarter of 2021 at the latest. As BioNTech alone is aiming for a production volume of up to one billion vaccine doses per year, it can be assumed that by 2022 at the latest all people - who so desire - will have been vaccinated.

    Vaccination record as a voluntary mandatory document

    Once a vaccine against COVID-19 is available, politics and the economy can begin returning to normal. Those who are vaccinated are likely to gain more freedom than those who reject its use due to the obvious risk with non-vaccine takers. When entering a function or boarding a plane, people may in the future not only be asked for their identity card but also their vaccination record. Judging by past events this year, nothing can be ruled out and everything is possible.

    Trading houses position themselves for a price increase

    The experts from Citigroup and Goldman Sachs have announced their assessment of a winner of the Post Covid-19 period. This is an area that has been pushed aside and avoided by the capital market in recent months. The time has now come for industry experts and investors to position themselves for what is to come.

    Be greedy when others are afraid

    The analysts of the two financial institutions assume that the overcapacity of crude oil will be used up in 2021 and that the price per barrel will rise again to USD 60.00 or higher. The shares of oil companies are currently still at rock bottom and are attracting little attention. Now is a good time to consider buying shares of producers that are positioned in a legally secure space and prioritise environmental protection. It is important that the company was profitable and had low production costs before the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Positive analyst opinion

    The Canadian oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas is one such company. During 2019, the company was profitable and was able to report attractive growth rates in revenues. CEO John Jeffrey has already announced that the company will be looking at acquisitions to benefit from the current situation. In recent months, the situation has been correspondingly quiet. Investors in Saturn Oil & Gas may therefore benefit twice over. At CAD 0.10, the currently unheeded share is still trading well below the price of CAD 0.30 two years ago. In the period before Covid-19, the analysts of GBC Research gave a target price of 0.31 CAD in their buy recommendation - this would result in a highly attractive return.

    Is the Gold Price Falling? Buy the Dip! Why Barrick Mining, Desert Gold Ventures, and Agnico Eagle Mines Now Offer Attractive Entry Points

    Following the recent decline in the gold price, alarm bells are ringing for many investors. But those who look closely will recognize a familiar market dynamic. Every overheated rally is typically followed by a healthy consolidation phase. It is precisely this correction that may create a rare window of opportunity for strategically positioned investors, as the precious metal's fundamental upward momentum remains intact thanks to expectations of interest rate cuts and central bank purchases. Those willing to take a contrarian view at this stage could benefit disproportionately from the next recovery phase. Three industry players with different strategic profiles illustrate how current uncertainty can be transformed into potential returns: Barrick Mining, Desert Gold, and Agnico Eagle.

    As the gold price continues to consolidate, this gold gem may present the investment opportunity of the year. Lahontan Gold is aiming to make history in the coming months by advancing toward gold production in Nevada. In its latest investor presentation, management confirmed that preparations for mine construction remain fully on track. In addition, a new resource estimate is expected to be released in the coming weeks. If projections from major banks such as Goldman Sachs are correct, the gold price could soon regain upward momentum, with some forecasts suggesting levels above USD 5,000 by the end of 2026. This is being driven in part by stronger-than-expected central bank gold purchases. With potential production costs of around USD 1,200 per ounce, Lahontan Gold could benefit significantly. At current levels, the stock still appears attractively valued.

    Takeover Candidates for 2026! The Life Sciences Sector Is Heating Up: Evotec, BioNxt Solutions, BioNTech, and Formycon in Focus!

    In recent months, the stock market has focused primarily on high-tech and defence stocks. While this strategy may have worked well for investors in the short term, it has also pushed several life sciences stocks to levels that some consider overly depressed. The Hamburg-based drug discovery company Evotec has lost around 75% of its market value over the past three years, with similar declines seen at BioNTech, Formycon, and BioNxt Solutions. Yet some pipelines are indeed valuable and backed by years of research. For a buyer with deep pockets, this could represent an attractive opportunity, as much of the costly early-stage work has already been completed. We are looking at a sector that has been unjustly forgotten. Where do opportunities lie for risk-conscious investors?
