    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 No real money was withdrawn from the markets in the process.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.
