After BioNTech shock: Evotec, Morphosys and Cardiol Therapeutics emerge as the new biotech favorites
BioNTech startled investors and analysts with its quarterly figures on Monday. Yet the biotech segment has actually developed positively in recent months. Several stocks are currently going full throttle, and S&P's sector index also outperformed the S&P 500 and MSCI World in July. This could finally signal the end of the underperformance of recent years, and biotech stocks could be celebrating a comeback. On the German stock charts, Evotec and Morphosys are among the high flyers. Both shares have performed strongly since April. Cardiol Therapeutics also looks promising from a technical chart perspective, and analysts see a price potential of over 200%. In contrast, there is currently no reason to buy BioNTech. Instead, investors should also bet on strength.

Biogen, Cardiol Therapeutics, Evotec - The acquisition wave is rolling
The biotechnology industry has seen a significant increase in acquisitions and mergers in recent months. Large pharmaceutical companies are looking to expand their portfolios to provide innovative solutions for unmet medical needs. At the same time, despite an increase in value in recent months, acquisition targets are still attractively valued due to the sell-off over the past year.

Evotec, Morphosys, Defence Therapeutics: Strong biotech stocks
When thinking of strong biotech stocks in recent years, BioNTech likely came to mind initially. With the successful development of the COVID-19 vaccine, the Mainz-based company advanced to become the new industry high-flyer. But in the meantime, the Company has come back to reality. The coffers are bulging, but vaccine revenues are falling, and the development of the cancer pipeline will still take several years. Therefore, Evotec and Morphosys are currently celebrating a comeback. Analysts are hailing Evotec as the "Tesla of biotech," and price targets are rising. The Morphosys share has increased by more than 100% this year, and analysts believe the value is capable of even more. Due to positive news, investors can speculate on a rebound with Defence Therapeutics.

Morphosys, Defence Therapeutics, Evotec - A lot of movement in the biotech sector
The biotech sector is on the move. On the one hand, the industry has seen an increase in mergers and acquisitions in recent months. The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, for example, recently took over Seagan for USD 43 billion. Other companies are likely to follow suit. In addition, many companies were able to break away from their lows of the past months and have further upside potential.

Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - Movement in the biotech sector
Is a new wave of takeovers starting in the biotech sector? Already last year, acquisitions by Big Pharma were expected to increase, but these largely failed to materialize. However, this could accelerate in the current year. On the one hand, pharmaceutical companies, such as vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, have deep pockets and need new innovations for their product portfolio; on the other hand, second-tier stocks are attractive targets due to the strong correction.

Takeover speculation at Defence Therapeutics! What are BioNTech, Morphosys, and Evotec doing?
Defence Therapeutics is one of the biotech high flyers of the past months. The share has more than doubled since October. And this could be just the beginning. Operationally, things are going well, a strong partner has been acquired, and experts are speculating about a takeover. And what are the German biotechs doing? At BioNTech, it will be exciting at the end of March, because the Mainz-based company needs new blockbusters. At Morphosys, analysts recently saw further downside potential. Will a new management board bring about a turnaround? Evotec also had little positive to report. However, an AI investment in the hype surrounding ChatGPT is making headlines.

Biotech stocks on the verge of a breakout? Evotec, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics
Biotech stocks have largely missed out on the rally of recent weeks. But this could change. Some have interesting chart constellations or a positive news flow. Sooner or later, the stock should then also react with a breakout. After the horror year 2022, Evotec received several positive reports within a few days. The share price has also jumped. At BioNTech, investors are looking away from the COVID-19 vaccine and towards the development pipeline. But, analysts disagree. Are 100% share price gains on the cards? Analysts believe that Cardiol Therapeutics' stock has even more potential than that. Its main product against heart inflammation is already in the Phase II pilot study, and the necessary capital for further development is available. All three shares are recommended as a buy by analysts.

Biotech stocks in focus: Morphosys, Evotec, Bayer, BioNxt Solutions
Biotech stocks have struggled in 2022. In Germany, BioNTech has overtaken the previous heavyweights Morphosys and Evotec in record time. Morphosys shocked investors with data on its Alzheimer's hope. Analysts lowered their thumbs, and short-sellers discovered the stock for themselves. Evotec has been quiet this year. Analysts think the valuation is attractive, but meeting earnings guidance in the current year is not a given. BioNxt shares have jumped recently, and if the positive newsflow continues into 2023, a re-rating is possible. At Bayer, the pharmaceuticals division is also developing positively. Conclusion: investors should position themselves for the biotech year 2023.

Morphosys, Defence Therapeutics, Evotec - Stabilization after the sell-off
After the publication of the figures for the third quarter, many biotech companies were able to surprise positively. Due to the partly panic-like sell-off in this capital-intensive sector, there are attractive entry opportunities at a strongly discounted level, which should pay off with disproportionate price gains in the long term. The fact that promising companies are already trading below their cash levels shows that the panic is exaggerated. There are currently signs of a bottoming out, which could herald the next upward wave.

Biogen, Cardiol Therapeutics, Evotec - Brilliant results
The reporting season for the third quarter is in full swing and is creating a thoroughly positive mood. For example, the software group SAP posted surprisingly strong growth in its cloud business in the third quarter, and its operating result was better than forecast. Positive signals are also coming from the biotech sector, which has been badly battered in recent months. After the horrendous share price losses, this sector, in particular, offers attractive long-term entry levels.
