Vidac Pharma, Bayer AG, Novo Nordisk: Three companies that will shape the pharmaceutical landscape in 2025
The pharmaceutical industry is again demonstrating its market power between innovation and risk: Vidac Pharma reports a milestone in colorectal cancer therapy with VDA1275. The combination of the active ingredient with a chemotherapeutic agent achieves a 38.9% tumor reduction in preclinical studies. This synergy effect raises hope for gentler chemotherapy treatments and more innovative approaches. Bayer AG is making waves at the JP Morgan Health Conference with its pharmaceutical pipeline: the prostate cancer drug Nubeqa™ achieves blockbuster status with revenue of EUR 1 billion. In women's health, the first non-hormonal therapy for menopausal symptoms is expected to reach the US market as early as 2025. Novo Nordisk, on the other hand, is threatened with a class-action lawsuit in the billion-dollar market for obesity drugs: the REDEFINE-1 study on the promising drug CagriSema revealed weaknesses in the study design. After the results were made public, the share price fell by 18%. While Vidac Pharma and Bayer impress with precise study results, the Novo Nordisk case shows the fragility of methodological fuzziness. The details.

Biotech - Here we go! 100% opportunities for Evotec, BioNxt, Bayer, Formycon, and Novo Nordisk!
Last week, the DAX 40 index reached a new all-time high of 21,520 points. At first glance, this sounds odd because half of the stocks are languishing at multi-year lows. However, the driving forces are the heavyweights SAP, Siemens, Allianz, Airbus, and Deutsche Telekom. They are pushing the index upward daily, putting ETF fund managers under pressure as they have to adjust the weightings accordingly. However, the more capital flows into the leading stocks, the more investors are looking for lagging stocks that could successfully turn the chart around due to operational turning points. We select a few opportunity stocks.

Novo Nordisk, Desert Gold Ventures, Palantir – AI madness, Trump fuels the gold rush
Things have been moving at a rapid pace since the old and new President of the United States, Donald Trump, took office. Around 80 decrees were signed on the first working day alone. One of the Republican's goals is to make the US the "global hub for crypto and artificial intelligence". With the commitment of over USD 500 billion for the largest AI project in history, the industry is likely to face further appreciation. The price of gold has also increased, and it is now approaching the magic mark of USD 3,000 per ounce. In this context, producers and exploration companies are now likely to tap into their catch-up potential.

Volkswagen, Globex Mining, Novo Nordisk – Here are the opportunities for the coming year
The vbw commodity price index recorded a remarkable increase of 4.4% in October 2024 compared to the previous month – an increase of 18.4% year-on-year. On the one hand, this is surprising, as the economy has reportedly noticeably slowed down. On the other hand, geopolitical tensions seem to be causing overcompensation. Raw materials are the engine of the economy, and it is not for nothing that the price of copper is considered a leading indicator of economic activity. In times of export restrictions, it is clear how dependent the world is on China and Russia. Without the crucial raw materials, production comes to a halt. We take a look at three companies and assess whether they are well-positioned in the raw materials sector for the upcoming year.

Medical milestones from Novo Nordisk, BioNxt and Bayer: New hope for millions of patients
Medical research is currently making remarkable progress in the treatment of serious diseases. Three companies in this field are reporting important developments that could improve the lives of many people: the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is consolidating its leading position in the fight against obesity with a market share of over 30% in GLP-1 drugs and is driving global expansion. At the same time, the Canadian company BioNxt Solutions is developing a groundbreaking MS therapy: an innovative and simple administration could significantly ease the daily medication routine for MS patients.

Barrick Gold, Desert Gold, Novo Nordisk - How political decisions and market opportunities drive prices
The capital markets are again demonstrating how closely intertwined political decisions, external market factors, and entrepreneurial skills are. The planned expansion of Medicare and Medicaid coverage of obesity drugs could open up new growth prospects for the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk in the US. However, the wind of change is blowing in the direction of a new administration with a strong reputation in the US healthcare sector. Industry giant Barrick Gold shines with impressive numbers, with operating cash flow alone at USD 23 billion. Meanwhile, explorer Desert Gold is securing fresh capital through clever financing for its promising SMSZ gold project in Mali, Africa. Here is what investors should be looking out for now.

Novo Nordisk, BioNxt Solutions, Bavarian Nordic – Opportunities after a horror week
The past trading week was one to forget for the biotech and medtech sectors. With the nomination of the anti-vaccine Robert F. Kennedy as the future US Secretary of Health, stocks such as Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech lost disproportionately. Even the broadly diversified Nasdaq Biotech Index closed with a weekly loss of over 10%. However, many analysts see the sudden slide as an attractive entry opportunity.
