The trading week is coming to an end and on Thursday the German benchmark index DAX continues to trade below the psychological mark of 16,000 points at a level of 15,785 points and an increase of 0.10%. The rest of today and Friday remain to make a jump. It will probably depend on the guidance from the U.S., but at the hour, U.S. futures are all green. MDAX last traded at 34,135 points (+0.07%), TecDAX at 3,544 points (+0.07%) and SDAX at 15,626 points up 0.33%. Companies from the biotech sector are again in the focus of the investors today.

    Share price fireworks after announcement

    The share of Valneva can show the most trades on Tradegate so far on today's trading day. More than 5,600 executed orders have been counted so far. After yesterday's company announcement on the development of a Covid-19 vaccine, the share price increased from below 14.00 EUR to over 20.00 EUR. Currently, the share is trading at EUR 16.86, far from its daily high of EUR 21.20. Compared to the previous day's closing price, the shares are trading around 21% lower. The Novavax shares have also lost ground in recent weeks. In December 2021, the shares still changed hands at over EUR 200.00. Most recently, the shares were traded at EUR 84.20, 3.47% higher than the previous day.

    Investors are betting on the next Covid-19 phase

    Long-Covid is moving more and more into the focus of investors. Canadian biotech Cardiol Therapeutics successfully completed a USD 50 million capital increase in November 2021, significantly expanding its financial resources for product development. The company focuses on heart disease therapy. The proliferation of Covid-19 has significantly increased the need. The analysts of Canaccord and Cantor Fitzgerald grant the shares a price potential of CAD 10.00 and GBC Research even considers CAD 17.49 possible. At present with EUR 1.78 (approx. CAD 2.52) the shares change their owners. On the previous day, there was profit-taking in the shares after several days of price increases. But according to an old stock market saying, "Buy on dips!" - in other words, buy on weakness.

    On Feb. 17, 2022, Cardiol will present at the 'International Investment Forum - IIF' and provide insights to investors. (Free registration: ii-forum.com). Yesterday, a report on Cardiol by stock market expert Carsten Mainitz was also published on researchanalyst.com.

    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?
