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.

    Tungsten, Weapons and Growth: Almonty, Rheinmetall and Deutz Under Review. Is This an Opportunity in a Megatrend?

    The stock market is not linear. Greed and fear, excessive optimism or excessive scepticism—all of these drive markets. Only the future will tell what is cheap or expensive today. The stocks mentioned above are at precisely this point. Secure supply chains, access to raw materials and defence readiness are high on the agenda of Western governments. These long-term trends play strongly into the hands of defence companies and raw material producers. Almonty, in particular, as a producer of the critical raw material tungsten, holds a leading position in the sector. Where do the greatest opportunities lie for investors now?

    Who Profits When Patents Expire? The Billion-Euro Race Between Formycon, Fresenius and Pfizer

    When patent protection for high-revenue biopharmaceuticals expires, a billion-euro market for follow-on products emerges. Michael Sen, head of the German healthcare group Fresenius SE, cites an impressive figure. By 2035, this could generate around EUR 180 billion in revenue. In particular, biosimilars, biotechnologically produced follow-on medicines that are highly similar in composition to the original medicine and equivalent in quality, efficacy and safety, are forecast to grow significantly. Moreover, biosimilars can strengthen competition and reduce treatment costs. Formycon stands out as a pure play. The company recently reached a crucial milestone. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the marketing authorisation application, the first publicly known application of its kind, for FYB206, a biosimilar candidate to the cancer medicine Keytruda, for review. Keytruda generates around USD 32 billion in annual revenue, making it the world's highest-revenue medicine. Fresenius is strengthening its positioning in the biosimilar sector through an acquisition. Pfizer needs new growth drivers. Who is best positioned for the year-end rally?

    Every Crisis Creates an Opportunity: Nordex Stumbles, Jungheinrich Struggles, and RE Royalties Looks to Have Found a Bottom

    • Rebound

    When market participants suddenly lose their nerve, and industrial heavyweights like Jungheinrich plunge to new multi-year lows despite bulging order books, a key question for private investors, among others, is whether this is a dangerous crisis with further downside ahead or an attractive entry opportunity. Nordex, too, has recently struggled to build on its successes from earlier this year. The share is trapped in a consolidation phase and has now returned to its level from late February, when it broke out upwards on high volume and with a long green weekly candlestick. Is this an attractive entry point for investors desperately seeking stable, high-yield alternatives in the future-oriented renewable energy market? Find out why scepticism could prevail regarding well-known German names and why a pioneer in royalty financing could be on the verge of the next major share price surge following a technical “textbook pattern”.
