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.

Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon - Biotech opportunity!

  • Biotechnology

Due to the stricter monetary policy of the central banks and inflation concerns, the capital-intensive biotech sector is also suffering. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index has lost almost a quarter of its value since the beginning of the stock market year. In addition, the number of companies trading even below their cash levels is higher than ever. At the same time, as can be seen with vaccine manufacturers, the industry is becoming increasingly important in everyday life. Especially in cancer research, some companies have the opportunity to multiply in the coming years based on their product pipeline.

Finding the next BioNTech: MorphoSys, XPhyto Therapeutics, Formycon - Who will make the breakthrough?

  • Biotechnology

The Mainz-based biotech Company BioNTech has shown the way with Cormirnaty®: stringent research and adherence to milestones ultimately lead to success. The main and founding investors Strüngmann are still on board as long-term investors with over 40% even after the price correction. The mRNA technology is now mutating into the basis for a whole new class of drugs, and BioNTech could thus become a new German pharmaceutical giant. The brothers from Tegernsee know what they are talking about. Their start-up capital came from the first major exit after they sold their generic drug manufacturer Hexal, founded in 1979, to Novartis for EUR 5.65 billion in 2005. Since then, they have continued to invest in biotechnology through their family office. The challenge is to find the next BioNTech.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon - Biotech stocks facing transformation

  • Biotechnology

The pharmaceutical industry proved to be a key industry in the Corona pandemic, developing tests, vaccines and drugs at record speed and making them available in large quantities. In the process, biotechnology emerged as the innovative engine. The development of new compounds is particularly important for the pharmaceutical industry, as patent protection for many blockbuster drugs will expire in the future or has already expired. For this reason, the pharmaceutical industry is now entering biotechs much more frequently in the early development phases of a new drug. As a result, early-stage development companies already offer opportunities for multiplication.
