Biotech-Rally 2025: Evotec, BioNTech, Vidac Pharma, Pfizer and Bayer are on the buy list
For two years, there was almost no movement in the biotech sector. Not even the trend of falling interest rates that began in 2024 could persuade investors to make larger investments. Meanwhile, AI and high-tech stocks continued to perform well, driving the Nasdaq 100 index up by over 30%. However, in the last quarter of 2024, some bombed-out life sciences stocks saw significant markups, and new takeover rumours also began circulating. Whether the sentiment can continue to rise in the coming weeks is something we will explore further. Let's take a closer look at our top picks for 2025.

Biotech Acquisitions in 2025: Several 100% Gains Expected – Evotec, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, and Pfizer
There have already been two attempts, but the story continues! Evotec speculators were confronted with a rumor mill and a takeover bid in November. This is what happens when a stock plummets and languishes for a long time. The management wisely rejected Halozyme's undervalued offer, and thus, the bidding war for the Hamburg-based company began anew. In the biotech sector, eyes should now be on the future, as the first movements have already taken place. In our stock selection, there are three outliers with price increases of more than 30% in the last 3 months. However, the big moves will only take place in 2025. Here is an analytical look at a long-neglected sector.

Biotech in focus! The 2025 blockbusters: Pfizer, BioNTech, Nyxoah, Valneva or Evotec - Who will take off?
The Q3 figures have now been processed. In the shadow of the tech giants on the Nasdaq, biotech stocks are currently being neglected. However, it is important to note that as pressure on the international economies increases, so does the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the central banks. Many investors have been underweight in biotech for quarters, prioritizing other sectors. All of this could be reversed in 2025. An early positioning with the most important protagonists seems promising. We are picking the best opportunities for you from the "Advent calendar."

US election and the biotech sector – A hot November is on the cards! BioNTech, Pfizer, Nyxoah, Bayer or Evotec?
With anticipation building for both the Q3 earnings season and the US election results, the markets are in a wait-and-see mode. Democrat frontrunner Kamala Harris is said to be committed to continuing the successful policies of her predecessor Joe Biden. Of course, science, research and climate protection are in the spotlight. Her rival, Donald Trump, is said to be more concerned with strengthening the traditional economy, where automotive engineering, the defense industry and security companies come to the fore. Additionally, markets are looking to central banks for cues, as lower interest rates would be a boon for the biotech sector. Here are some investment ideas for dynamic investors in this promising climate.

The biotech rally of the century is on the horizon! 150% returns with BioNTech, Pfizer, Nyxoah, Bayer, or Evotec?
The stock market keeps climbing, and now it is moving even faster with a double-whammy interest rate cut from the Fed! In a surprising move, the US Federal Reserve pulls a 0.5% rate cut from its magic hat, boosting market sentiment. Now, it is certain that life will continue in the biotech sector. However, selecting the right stocks remains challenging. With a medium-term focus, paying attention to management quality is important because the recent price declines were too high in some cases. However, some research approaches promise a better future. BioNTech, Pfizer, and Bayer have already bottomed out. Nyxoah and Evotec are now showing the first signs of breaking out after a period of consolidation. What is the short-term outlook?

Starting signal for a rally? BioNTech, Pfizer, and Bayer under scrutiny, Major news expected from Cardiol Therapeutics and Evotec
Despite all the prophecies of doom, life goes on in the biotech sector. With a medium-term focus, it makes sense to bet on management qualities, as the recent price drops were partially too severe, but the research approaches promise a better future. BioNTech and Pfizer still have to deal with the COVID-19 issue, while Bayer has now taken all measures to achieve a turnaround. The situation at Cardiol Therapeutics and Evotec is particularly interesting, as the members of the Management Board continue to buy shares regularly.

Novo Nordisk, Cardiol Therapeutics, Pfizer - Pharma Watchlist: Three top innovators
In the rapidly evolving world of biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry, a single drug can make all the difference, especially when these drugs are unique. They have the potential to change the entire sector by setting new standards in therapy, addressing unmet medical needs, and ultimately improving the quality of life of countless patients worldwide. These drugs are often called blockbusters and generate revenue of more than USD 1 billion. Innovation often also means creating a moat against the competition. Today, we take a look at three companies that are pursuing unique approaches.

Attention: Biotech takeovers, after MorphoSys, now Bayer, Vidac Pharma, BioNTech and Pfizer are on the radar
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been little movement in the biotech sector. However, after a challenging year in 2023, the sector was at least able to start the new year on a solid footing. The surprising takeover of MorphoSys recently got hearts beating again, as Novartis put a whopping EUR 2.7 billion on the table for the cancer specialist from Munich. Only months before, MorphoSys had been traded on the stock exchange at just EUR 700 million. The special market situation in this case was also characterized by the high short ratio, which led to an exorbitant rise in the share price of almost 400% in the final phase. Speculative investors are now keeping a wary eye on potential takeover candidates as the sector is once again attracting considerable attention. We are taking a closer look and searching for the next pearl.

MorphoSys and Cardiol Therapeutics in upward mode, while Bayer and Pfizer are in slow mode
The biotech sector has made a very differentiated start to the new year. While the old favorites are barely moving, the second-line stocks MorphoSys and Cardiol Therapeutics are making a real splash. At Bayer, the bad news just won't go away, and despite a successful major takeover, Pfizer has not yet found its forward gear. After a rally of almost 15% in December, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (NBI) has taken a pause in the current year. Now, everyone is waiting for the first interest rate cut by central banks. Inflation is already falling, and the negative economic data for the Eurozone is increasing. The ECB would normally be in demand. What should investors urgently keep an eye on?

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Pfizer - Buckle up for the rebound
As the end of the year approaches, the savvy equity investor begins to optimize their equity portfolio for tax purposes. During this time, investors are particularly keen to review their investments and make strategic adjustments to minimize the tax burden. This approach, often referred to as "tax-loss harvesting" or "loss offsetting", involves the clever realization of losses in order to reduce capital gains tax due on profits made in the same year. This means that shares that have not performed so well over the course of the year are often sold off again in December. In the new year, the selling pressure disappears, and the shares can start their rebound. Today, we are looking at three potential candidates.
