The future is traded on the stock exchange. Those who invest in the right companies can achieve rapid returns. But how do you find out which innovations will cause share prices to rise? Since its IPO shortly before the turn of the millennium, the German chip specialist Infineon has developed into an essential Company in the chip industry. Just a few months ago, Infineon completed the critical acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, adding areas that are important for the Internet of Things, and other applications related to the new 5G mobile communications standard, to its portfolio.

    Infineon as a beneficiary of the mobility turnaround

    Investors reacted positively to Infineon's acquisition of Cypress. The share climbed by almost 40% on a one-year horizon. Most recently, the Company from the greater Munich area issued a cautious growth forecast and kept the dividend stable. This announcement, too, was well-received by investors and once again ensured stable growth in the share price. Infineon's high dependency on the automotive industry is seen as a possible risk when investing in the Company.

    More and more chips are installed in modern vehicles. If sales weaken, this also affects the suppliers. Unlike traditional suppliers, however, Infineon has a different position with its quality. The stock can even be seen as a beneficiary of the mobility turnaround, as cars will be increasingly networked in the future. The complete lockdown in March did little to affect the stock, the risks at Infineon are manageable, and the Company is in a good position.

    dynaCERT makes combustion engines "greener"

    dynaCERT is also considered a Company that has positioned itself around the mobility revolution. Canadians have developed a catalyst that can significantly reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. dynaCERT's target group is not the automotive industry, but fleet operators. Thanks to dynaCERT, they will be able to retrofit existing fleets and thus make them "greener". The Association of German Engineers (VDI) also proves that this approach can make sense: The experts are pointing out that too clear a focus on electromobility could jeopardize the CO2 targets since combustion engines are still less polluting along the entire value chain.

    Local authorities, in particular, are under pressure to cut emissions. Instead of replacing old vehicles, dynaCert can reduce the negative consequences of existing combustion engines. A catalyst from dynaCERT can pay off within one year and makes buses or other heavy machinery, more environmentally friendly. In recent months, the Company has already been able to convince several municipalities in North America of its product. Most recently, dynaCERT has expanded its software offering in the telematics sector and is now also focusing on fleet management, route planning, driver safety and load management.

    Nemetschek scores with software for the construction industry

    Nemetschek recognized many years ago that software could be a profitable business. The Company primarily addresses architects and representatives of the construction industry. In addition to CAD software, which converts construction drawings and plans, Nemetschek also offers software for the planning and execution of construction projects, for example, when it comes to obtaining quotations.

    Nemetschek's figures also show that it makes sense to map a sector fully. The Company left a small damper behind during the initial lockdown and recently presented reliable statistics. To ensure that the Company remains on course for growth, Nemetschek has made an acquisition and also opened up a business segment in the media sector. On the stock market, investors are pleased to report a return of almost 27 percent during the past year. Particularly recently, there has been a significant increase. The reason was an increase in the forecast.

    dynaCERT can be considered a latecomer

    Whether Infineon, Nemetschek or the smaller company dynaCERT - innovations generally pay off for investors. Although dynaCERT has a zero return on investment on a one-year horizon, this perspective fails to recognize that the share price was already almost in double figures before the pandemic. Since nothing has changed in the Company's technology since then, the volatile value may be considered a latecomer. But conservative investors are also well served by Nemetschek and Infineon - after all, innovations make prices.

    Biotech: Time to Bet on the Rebound! Evotec and BioNxt in the Takeover Spotlight, Bayer and BioNTech Flush with Cash

    After a long dry spell, the biotech sector is on the cusp of a spectacular turnaround, offering bold investors the potential for significant returns. Many innovative biotech stocks are trading well below their all-time highs, yet almost unnoticed, the next major rally is already taking shape behind the scenes. The huge cash reserves of industry giants Bayer and BioNTech are currently fueling takeover speculation across the sector. This colossal capital, running into the billions, is desperately seeking new growth drivers, suddenly putting smaller players on the radar of potential acquirers. At the very top of the hunters' watchlist are the hard-hit Evotec and the disruptive newcomer BioNxt. Both companies boast top-class technology platforms, which, at current levels, almost seem like an exclusive clearance sale. Investors who keep their eyes open and position themselves strategically for the major rebound could get ahead of the looming wave of consolidation. The conditions for an explosive catch-up rally have rarely been this favorable.

    Potential Moderna-Style Share Surge? Takeover Candidates Evotec, Valneva and Vidac Pharma in Focus — Analysts Bullish

    Moderna has shaken up the biotech market with its breakthrough in the fight against skin cancer. Partner Merck has received somewhat less attention in the coverage, despite preparing for the eventual patent expiration of one of its blockbuster drugs. Other pharmaceutical companies will also need to replenish their pipelines in the coming years. As a result, the takeover merry-go-round is likely to pick up speed again, potentially electrifying investors. One hot candidate is Vidac Pharma. Recruitment for its Phase 2B trial into high-risk actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition, has been completed. The results could provide a catalyst for the stock. Valneva's share price has recently risen sharply. Could its partner Pfizer eventually make a move? Analysts are recommending the stock. And what about perennial takeover candidate Evotec? Shareholders and potential buyers are currently giving the share a wide berth. Yet there is a "Buy" recommendation on the table.

    Cancer in Focus: Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca

    According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, there are currently around 20.6 million new cancer cases worldwide. The annual death toll is estimated at approximately 10 million people. In recent years, more than 53 million people globally have received a cancer diagnosis. According to the WHO, the number of new cases per year is expected to rise to about 35 million by 2050. Two factors are generally cited as the main drivers: demographic change, with the global population getting older, as well as rising rates of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking and air pollution in many countries. Unsurprisingly, the oncology market is correspondingly lucrative. Oncology is the world's largest pharmaceutical market. There is, however, also some good news: the age-adjusted risk of dying from cancer is declining thanks to earlier detection, targeted therapies and advances in immuno-oncology. Today, we take a closer look at this market through the stocks of Merck & Co., Vidac Pharma and AstraZeneca.
