Omicron or Pirola? Biotech shows doubling opportunities again! BioNTech, Pfizer, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys in focus
We had ticked off the Corona pandemic long ago. But if you ask your acquaintances, you may find one or two who have recently been infected with the "Pirola" variant. The official code of the virus variant is BA.2.86, and it was first discovered in Israel. The current infections are spreading rapidly across Europe and have also reached Germany. So far, the new Omicron offshoot appears less contagious than its predecessors. The new symptoms associated with "Pirola" include skin rashes, diarrhea, changes in the mouth and tongue, itchy eyes and surprisingly, sore fingers or toes. What is going on here? It is a reason to look again at BioNTech and some other biotechs. Where are the opportunities lurking?

Lots of activity in the biotech sector - Novo Nordisk, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
Despite the rather gloomy economic outlook on the one hand and high interest rates on the other, there is significant movement in the capital-intensive biotechnology sector. After Amgen successfully concluded the acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics for USD 116.50 per share or a total volume of around USD 27.8 billion, further investments by Big Pharma in innovative and promising technologies will likely follow soon.

Buy biotech stocks now? BioNTech, Morphosys and Cardiol Therapeutics in check
In times of high interest rates, the wheat is separated from the chaff, even in the biotech sector. After all, young research-based companies, in particular, have a high demand for capital. But at the moment, all companies are being lumped together. This opens up clear buying opportunities because some have full coffers. BioNTech belongs to this group. Thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine, research is fully financed. The same goes for Cardiol Therapeutics. The share of the Canadians is one of the summer's high flyers, and the recent price setback offers an entry opportunity. The analysts' price target is over 300% above the current level. And what do analysts say about the German biotech veteran Morphosys? Goldman Sachs has tripled its price target.

Unbelievable! Hands off AI, biotech in rebound! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
The big fall decline is now over. It is always a difficult time, but the so-called "Triple Witching" went relatively smoothly this time. The European Central Bank (ECB), in its first interest rate meeting after the summer break, decided to raise key rates by another quarter point to 4.00%, up from the previous 3.75% in July. At the same time, it lowered its inflation forecast for 2025 and the outlook for economic growth in the Eurozone for the years 2023 to 2025. Economic risks are increasing, but inflation remains the determining factor for interest rates. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce an interest rate pause at its next meeting on Wednesday have boosted confidence. Last week's big losers were the recently favoured AI stocks Nvidia, Microsoft and C3.ai. However, the biotech sector has recently started to climb again. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Biotech: Poison cocktail or miracle cure? Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys, Pfizer
Biotech stocks represent both light and dark. At the end of 2020, BioNtech turned the tide of the pandemic with its Comirnaty vaccine. But many shareholders have also had to endure losses. An example of a loss-maker is the share of the SDAX stock MorphoSys. Between 2020 and 2022, the share lost more than 80%. But what were the reasons for the decline? Are there biotech companies that offer better prospects? We shed light on three stocks from the biotech and healthcare sectors.

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.

Biotech comeback! Profit with BioNTech, Morphosys and BioNxt Solutions

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.

Biotech in turnaround mode! BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys, Formycon - Take a close look at these shares!
Since the major pandemic wave in the biotech sector, most industry players have had to come to terms with normality again. Scolded investors quickly learned their lesson and are now looking warily at an industry that experienced its heyday between 2019 and 2021. Today, it is no longer the small announcements of hope that lead to significant price swings. After months of sell-offs, however, the sector is stabilizing for the first time, and some protagonists can report minor progress. When the sector trend weakens, selection is the trump card. Here are some suggestions.
