Takeover fever around biotechs - Bayer's reaction, purchase candidates BioNxt and Morphosys?
Something is happening in the biotech sector: several global players are looking for potential acquisition targets. Above all, pharmaceutical companies focusing on the US are seeing their chances of survival dwindle in light of the Inflation Reduction Act. If drug prices are to fall, new products must be developed or costs cut elsewhere. We take a look at the industry and do a takeover check.

Biotech stocks on the verge of a breakout? Evotec, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics
Biotech stocks have largely missed out on the rally of recent weeks. But this could change. Some have interesting chart constellations or a positive news flow. Sooner or later, the stock should then also react with a breakout. After the horror year 2022, Evotec received several positive reports within a few days. The share price has also jumped. At BioNTech, investors are looking away from the COVID-19 vaccine and towards the development pipeline. But, analysts disagree. Are 100% share price gains on the cards? Analysts believe that Cardiol Therapeutics' stock has even more potential than that. Its main product against heart inflammation is already in the Phase II pilot study, and the necessary capital for further development is available. All three shares are recommended as a buy by analysts.

Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Lynas - Rearmament, now!
The decision on the Leopard deliveries to Ukraine has already been made, but now the discussion is turning to the provision of further heavy guns such as the "Panther" super tank developed by Rheinmetall. In addition, the NATO states are discussing the provision of combat aircraft. Once again, an important point is being forgotten. The production of these weapons systems requires critical metals, whose market is primarily dominated by China. The next dependency is thus preprogrammed.

Nel ASA, dynaCERT, Plug Power - Hydrogen as the problem solver in the energy transition
Hydrogen is essential to the energy transition because it can solve many of today's problems. One of these problems is that wind and solar energy are difficult to plan. Since they produce irregularly, the surplus on sunny days or windy days must be stored. This is how green hydrogen is produced, which can solve the problem of fossil fuels in the field of mobility solutions. Current electric solutions are not yet convincing, especially for freight transport, but this is where most CO2 is produced. With hydrogen, vehicles have more range and, most importantly, shorter charging times. We look at three companies that have built their business using hydrogen.

Defence Therapeutics, Bayer, BioNTech - US investors love biotech stocks
US investors love biotech companies. So it is thanks to pressure from investor Jeff Ubben that Bayer AG's leadership is changing a year earlier than planned. Shareholders welcome the decision, with Bayer's share price rising a whopping 5% this week. The fight against cancer is the mission of the Canadian company Defence Therapeutics. They have taken another critical step forward in the pipeline to bring their cancer therapy to solid tumors. BioNTech co-founder Ugur Sahin is also showing commitment. The Turkish-born physician actively supports the crisis regions of the earthquakes in his home country and Syria. Find out how this relates to the Group's profits here.

Defense Metals, Rheinmetall, Encavis - New technologies cannot do without this critical raw material
What do metal alloys, magnets, phosphors, ceramics, glass, catalysts and chemical processes need to function well? Rare earths - a critical raw material that is primarily processed in China. Without this raw material, there are no smartphones, computers, wind turbines or electric vehicles. There have been tensions between China and the United States for some time. If these tensions escalate and China stops its rare earth supplies, the Western world will have a problem. As demand for rare earths continues to rise, it is important to ensure sufficient supplies to meet the growing demands of the technology industry.

ams OSRAM, Meta Materials, Microsoft - Disruption within reach?
Disruptive technologies are new solutions that replace the previous success of existing technology, product or service or displace them entirely from the market. ChatGPT holds this potential. An AI that can change the way we search online and, in doing so, sweep Google out of the market. Innovations from Meta Materials also have such a market opportunity in aerospace, 5G, automotive and optics. In optics, the currently beleaguered ams OSRAM AG is on the trail of an innovation expected to hit the market as early as 2025.
