BASF, BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics: Stocks for 2023?
Is there a 400% upside potential in 2023? At the end of a challenging 2022 stock market year, we are looking ahead to the new year. Which share is worth buying, and which is better left alone? In the case of BASF, the high dividend yield is one of the attractions. The latest company news shows that the chemical group is also involved in the mega market of electromobility. But the dependence on gas supplies is causing uncertainty, and an analyst has renewed a sell recommendation for BASF shares. BioNTech, on the other hand, is looking good, even if the chart picture has recently clouded over. The development pipeline is full, capacities - especially in Asia - are being expanded, and analysts are also more courageous again. Investors also need a little courage and, above all, patience with Cardiol Therapeutics. They could soon be rewarded. The cash position of the biotech pearl is almost equal to the market capitalization, the main product is already in the Phase 2 pilot study, and analysts see massive upside potential.

BioNTech top, Morphosys flop and Defence Therapeutics takeover candidate?
Biotech shares are volatile. Investors were reminded of this again just last week. Moderna shares initially rose by almost 30%, only to fall back by around 10% towards the weekend. But overall, the mood in the biotech segment was positive. Moderna reported positive study results on a combination therapy of a Moderna cancer vaccine and the tumor drug pembrolizumab from Merck & Co. At BioNTech, two buy recommendations and the expansion in Asia created a good mood. This mood has also prevailed at Defence Therapeutics for several weeks. The Canadians reported positive study results against tumors, and their Accum technology delivers what it promises, in which case mRNA specialists such as Moderna, BioNTech and Co. should be interested in a cooperation or even acquisition. In contrast, Morphosys slides to a new multi-year low.

Bayer, BioNTech, Auxico Resources: 200% price gain possible?
With lower than expected inflation in the US, the year-end rally has picked up speed. Could the recession be off after all, or at least short-lived? This would likely boost the stock market in the coming year as well. Today we look at three stocks with potential that benefit from global trends and less from developments in Germany. In the case of Bayer, Bernstein Research has outed itself as a super bull. The global agricultural business should continue to run strong. Auxico Resources is positioning itself as a trader of rare earths and critical raw materials. Revenues are expected to jump significantly in the coming year, and analysts say the stock could triple. BioNTech could finally break out of the sideways trend it has been in since early 2022. The new combination vaccine and the cancer pipeline give hope.

Rheinmetall, Aspermont, BioNTech - Strong momentum
With its many drastic events, the turbulent stock market year 2022 is drawing to a close. With the Ukraine war, the change in monetary policy by central banks and rampant inflation, the year was characterized by strong uncertainty and high volatility, and it is almost certain to continue in the coming year. Nevertheless, the favourites are emerging more and more clearly from various sectors that should outperform the broad market in the months ahead.

BioNTech, va-Q-tec, Cardiol Therapeutics, Ambrx Biopharma - Biotech second-line stocks explode
For investors in biotech stocks, 2022 was often a year to forget. After the Corona hype, the market clouded over significantly, in part due to rising interest rates. December is the time of year when investors can make adjustments to their portfolio, thereby reducing their tax burden for the year ahead. This year is no exception, yet three stocks shot up last Friday. That is unusual during tax loss season. We look at the three high flyers and BioNTech, a big player in the biotech sector.

Core One Labs, BioNxt Solutions, Moderna - Takeover battle in a billion-dollar market
The sharp correction of recent months hit the capital-intensive biotech sector particularly hard. Shares, mainly from the second tier, have, in some cases, had to absorb losses of more than three-quarters of their market value and are trading far below their cash levels. These distortions naturally attract the big players to acquire novel developments at bargain prices.

Where the money is made: BioNTech, Novavax, Cardiol Therapeutics
While the first federal states in Germany are lifting the mask requirement on public transport, suppliers of vaccines and medicines are far from going back to normal. Even corona vaccines are in high demand. While there is a shortage of antipyretics and medication in this country, especially for children, innovative companies are already addressing the next challenges. We explain where investors can make money.

Attention biotech stocks: Bayer, BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics and Morphosys - These stocks look good!
After months of selling off, they are back: biotech stocks! A strong turn on the NASDAQ quickly flushed the beaten-up stocks back to the top of the hit lists. With COVID out of the spotlight, companies are returning to their long-term research lines. These have been heavily focused on cancer in recent years, and now there is even groundbreaking news on metastasis. BioNTech has thus already gained more than 40% since the October low. Morphosys, on the other hand, lost another 40% after an Alzheimer's study failed to deliver valuable results. It is worth taking another look at the sector.

Advances in the fight against cancer: Arcus Biosciences, Gilead Sciences, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech
Research studies from 2020 show that 72% of Germans fear cancer. However, very few people want to admit to these fears. But precisely because the subject is a big taboo, it is worth looking at the latest achievements in research. Many companies worldwide have long been fighting the epidemic - and making astonishing progress. Just recently, a US biotech announced encouraging study results. Other companies have yet to launch promising studies. We provide an overview and outline opportunities from an investor's perspective.

Biotech stocks in focus: Morphosys, Evotec, Bayer, BioNxt Solutions
Biotech stocks have struggled in 2022. In Germany, BioNTech has overtaken the previous heavyweights Morphosys and Evotec in record time. Morphosys shocked investors with data on its Alzheimer's hope. Analysts lowered their thumbs, and short-sellers discovered the stock for themselves. Evotec has been quiet this year. Analysts think the valuation is attractive, but meeting earnings guidance in the current year is not a given. BioNxt shares have jumped recently, and if the positive newsflow continues into 2023, a re-rating is possible. At Bayer, the pharmaceuticals division is also developing positively. Conclusion: investors should position themselves for the biotech year 2023.
