Liquidia, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer - Analysts comment on their favorites
The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index has been in the green since the beginning of the year with a mini gain of 1%, but the rebound since the lows at the end of October gives hope for a much more positive stock market year 2024 for the capital-intensive sector. In addition to the multiple interest rate hikes by the central banks, the biotech sector has been weighed down, in particular, by slower progress in research and development. With the expected start of a cycle of interest rate cuts, financing and capital costs are falling, which could lead to rising prices.

Shares for 2024: TUI in travel boom, Pfizer with monster dividend, Almonty Industries receives millions from Germany
Three shares from three different sectors and countries: TUI, Pfizer, and Almonty Industries. Are they among the top performers in 2024? At least there are good reasons for a turnaround in all of them. At TUI, the turnaround seems to have already begun. Will it continue? Almonty Industries is facing a decisive year. With the help of Germany's KfW, a massive tungsten mine in South Korea is set to go into operation in 2024. If this succeeds, turnover and profits will likely multiply in the coming years. Like so many Corona winners, Pfizer shares have suffered withdrawal symptoms this year. Will the pharmaceutical giant get back on track in 2024 after hitting a ten-year low? In any case, the dividend yield of 6% is attractive.

Caution: New Corona wave ahead? BioNTech, Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics and MorphoSys on the performance test bench
Smouldering lawsuits from vaccinated patients experiencing severe side effects have caused investors to doubt BioNTech and Pfizer in recent months. Will the plaintiffs be successful in court? This is rather unlikely, as the vaccine manufacturers can always invoke the time component in the fight against the pandemic. After all, what the WHO and all governments wanted was delivered: A quick solution! Moreover, these vaccines were finally approved by well-known health institutes. The biotech investment segment will become exciting again as winter approaches. The infection figures with the new coronavirus variants are rising noticeably again, and around 15% of the population wishes to get vaccinated. Where are the opportunities for investors?

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?

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.

Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Pharma facing turnaround despite drug shortages?
In mid-June, there was a shortage of 470 prescription drugs in Germany, according to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices. However, not only Germany is suffering from a shortage, but all of Europe. Once again, the dependence on China is the underlying cause. The EU is seeking countermeasures, but this will be challenging because capped prices, bureaucracy and rising energy costs make a location like Germany seem less attractive. At the same time, demographic change means that society needs the pharmaceutical industry more and more urgently. Therefore, we look at three companies that aim to heal sick people.

MorphoSys, BioNxt Solutions, Pfizer - After the pandemic is before the pandemic
No sooner has the Corona pandemic officially ended than the West Nile virus is knocking on Germany's door. According to Christian Drosten, it could spread in Germany via the mosquitoes that transmit the virus. Experts are already predicting the next pandemic, but when it will come remains uncertain. But other diseases such as cancer, malaria and antibiotic resistance are also on the rise. These diseases are exacerbated by food production and ageing populations, especially in Western industrialized nations. It is here where biotech and pharmaceutical companies are needed to alleviate people's suffering. We look at three such companies today.

BioNTech, Pfizer, Bayer and BioNxt Solutions on the biotech takeover merry-go-round
2023 could become the year of takeovers in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. This is what the experts at PwC expect. Thus, at the JP Morgan industry conference in San Francisco, not only were takeover candidates discussed but billion-dollar transactions were reported. One reason is the Inflation Reduction Act in the USA. This allows negotiations on drug prices. To prevent sales declines, Big Pharma must invest in new top sellers. And it is already doing so. The latest takeover rumor comes from BioNTech partner Pfizer. At BioNTech, the negative news currently outweighs the positive. Whether Bayer will take action with the boss or be taken over itself is not yet entirely clear. But there are also opportunities for investors in the smallcap sector. Take BioNxt Solutions, for example - the Canadian company with its operational focus in Germany recently secured new patents, and the share price has jumped.

BioNTech, Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Biotech stocks facing a revival?
The BIO Deutschland association represents the German biotech industry. According to an announcement on January 18, financing of biotech companies plummeted by 2/3 in 2022. Overall, the sector raised only EUR 920 million in equity. During the Corona pandemic, many biotech stocks did well. Subsequently, profit-taking occurred and rising interest rates put additional pressure on stocks. That could change in 2023. Meanwhile, some companies are valued low, and so these companies appear on the radar of investors from the United States. According to Handelsblatt, Water Street, an investment company focused on pharma and biotech, has already invested EUR 1 billion, mainly in Germany. A total of EUR 6 billion is to be invested.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Pfizer - The cards are being reshuffled
The Corona pandemic is seemingly coming to an end after almost three long years. The return to normality, now in China and the rest of the world, is a relief for society and the economy. In contrast, vaccine manufacturers are losing a billion-dollar business that is difficult to compensate for with products in other areas of application. Nevertheless, the stock market valuations of the vaccine producers continue to be exorbitantly high, as does their drop in value.
