Formycon, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Significant movement in the biotech sector
At the moment, investors are focusing on gold and Bitcoin in addition to the most important indices, like the DAX and Dow Jones. Meanwhile, the biotechnology sector is barely mentioned in the local newspapers. However, the market is on the move, and the wave of takeovers continues unabated. Recently, the Danish pharmaceutical company Genmab announced it was acquiring the private biotech company ProfoundBio for USD 1.8 billion in cash. The acquisition is intended to help deepen the cancer pipeline with next-generation antibody-drug conjugate therapies. Big Pharma is likely to make further acquisitions in this area in the near future.

AI in healthcare with Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer: Revolutionary advances and medical breakthroughs
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining momentum in the healthcare sector. AI-based systems can use medical databases to save valuable time in research, enabling companies like Defence Therapeutics to go to market faster than others. In oncology research, the Canadian company has just achieved a breakthrough that gives hope to many cancer patients. AI-assisted diagnoses allow diseases to be detected earlier and treated more effectively, leading to improved quality of life for patients. Precision medicine in strong partnership networks is Evotec's focus. The share is particularly popular with hedge fund managers. Analyzing medical images and data in real-time and detecting even the smallest deviations or anomalies is the top priority for Bayer AG in collaboration with Google Cloud. Which companies are convincing investors the most?

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, Novo Nordisk - Biotech deals: Corporations on a shopping spree!
In 2023, the volume of business in the pharmaceutical industry, with mergers and acquisitions, reached USD 152 billion despite high interest rates. Experts predict that this momentum could continue as large pharmaceutical companies are facing a wave of patent expiries for their key products that will roll in between 2025 and 2030. Companies are therefore on the lookout for new active ingredients, often by acquiring or licensing developments from smaller biotech companies to compensate for potential revenue shortfalls. There have also been major takeovers in recent months. We take a look at takeover targets and buyers.

Out of BioNTech and into Defence Therapeutics and Evotec shares?
The BioNTech share is currently out of steam. Although sentiment in the sector is improving, as star investor Cathie Wood recently invested in Moderna, the German biotech leader is not making any headway. The latest figures have not convinced analysts, and the price targets have even been further reduced. In contrast, the shares of Defence Therapeutics and Evotec appear to have more upside momentum. The Canadian cancer specialist has just raised new capital to develop its exciting pipeline. The Company has recently been granted a new US patent for its approach to cancer therapy. Evotec has a "Buy" recommendation. Could this mean the share is on the verge of an upward trend?

Entry prices or Sell? BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Lufthansa and Nvidia in focus
The stock market keeps running and running - but in reality, it is just a handful of stocks that make waves every day. Investors should now be vigilant because, like the recent correction in Bitcoin, the major indices could also fall by 10%. Of course, nobody is thinking about this at the moment; the mood is too good, almost euphoric, considering Germany's precarious economic situation. We analyze technical trends and fundamental assessments to ensure everything in your portfolio goes smoothly. In our view, BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, and Lufthansa are on the runway, but when it comes to Nvidia, you should start deploying the parachute slowly. What is next here?

Novo Nordisk, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Rally after the breakout?
Biotechnology has been revived after a disappointing stock market year in 2023. In addition to the interest rate cut fantasy, which should benefit the capital-intensive and innovative sector in particular, the current wave of acquisitions should lead to further price rises. Although the broad Nasdaq Biotech Index has only risen by 3% since the beginning of the year, it is currently facing key resistance levels. If these are broken through, the momentum northwards could accelerate.

Takeover fever in the biotech sector! Will MorphoSys now be followed by Defence Therapeutics, Evotec and Bayer?
It has happened: Novartis is bidding for MorphoSys. Once again, a long-lasting and persistent rumour mill eventually confirms itself. Those who remained loyal to MorphoSys despite heavy selling last fall have now made a profit of over 300%. If we turn the analytical magnifying glass on the sector, we can see that the speculative biotech stock market segment has started to move again since the challenging year 2023. Hopes of falling interest rates in the near future, along with several other M&A hopes, have led to steady inflows into listed bio-ETFs, resulting in fund managers having recently adjusted their weightings upwards. We analyze which stocks are currently making the loudest noise.

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer - Biotech and Pharma suddenly back in focus
Biotech ETFs have been on the rise since the end of October 2023. German biotech companies were able to raise more funds again last year.

Most recently, the takeover bid from Novartis shifted the focus to companies in the healthcare sector. The Swiss pharmaceutical company wants to acquire MorphoSys for EUR 2.7 billion and thus fill up its oncology pipeline. We have selected three companies from the biotech and pharma sectors and examined their current situation.

BASF shares on the upswing, BioNTech sees breakthrough in cancer, and Defence Therapeutics benefits from study
Can BASF shareholders look forward to better times? One analyst is certainly hopeful. He believes that the chemical industry will recover in 2024. However, the price target gives pause for thought. The development of cervical cancer is also concerning. According to a new study, the number of cases has risen sharply in recent years, and with it, HPV infections. Accordingly, more HPV vaccines are urgently needed. The market volume is expected to more than double to over USD 15 billion in just a few years. Defence Therapeutics aims to become a profiteer. The biotech company is fighting cancer with its Accum™ platform. BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin also believes that humanity will get cancer under control, thanks in part to artificial intelligence. The Company is currently working on 30 cancer therapies. Is it a good time to invest now?

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Biotech sector still on the upswing
The market is currently in an exceptional phase in the biotechnology sector. Following the record year of 2023, the number of M&A transactions continues to increase in the current year. The reason is clear. Many pharmaceutical giants are under pressure due to the expiration of many patents for high-revenue drugs. On the other hand, smaller, innovative companies are trading at attractive valuation levels following the corrections of recent years. In previous transactions, the acquirers paid significantly more than the current market value.
