Finding the next BioNTech: MorphoSys, XPhyto Therapeutics, Formycon - Who will make the breakthrough?

  • Biotechnology

The Mainz-based biotech Company BioNTech has shown the way with Cormirnaty®: stringent research and adherence to milestones ultimately lead to success. The main and founding investors Strüngmann are still on board as long-term investors with over 40% even after the price correction. The mRNA technology is now mutating into the basis for a whole new class of drugs, and BioNTech could thus become a new German pharmaceutical giant. The brothers from Tegernsee know what they are talking about. Their start-up capital came from the first major exit after they sold their generic drug manufacturer Hexal, founded in 1979, to Novartis for EUR 5.65 billion in 2005. Since then, they have continued to invest in biotechnology through their family office. The challenge is to find the next BioNTech.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva - Will the fall bring a new boost?

  • Biotechnology
  • Covid19
  • vaccine

Officials expect the Corona pandemic to intensify sharply in the fall. Already, the number of cases is rising, as is the number of hospitalizations. To be better equipped against the currently prevalent Omicron variant, BioNTech/Pfizer have specifically adapted the Comirnaty vaccine to it. Valneva's recently approved vaccine also provides good protection against Omicron through a broader immune response to its inactivated vaccine. Also involved in vaccine development is the Canadian company Defence Therapeutics. It is currently attracting attention with its cancer-fighting developments and could become a real gem.

Buy now? BioNTech, Nordex and MAS Gold

  • Gold
  • Biotechnology

The mood on the world's stock markets has stabilized in recent days. Hopes are alive that inflation and the US dollar have seen their highs for now. Even a soft landing of the US economy is no longer ruled out. Therefore, for example, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs advise buying shares because, from the perspective of the US banks, the chances of a V-shaped recovery of the stock markets are increasing. That could benefit stocks that have fallen by the wayside in recent months, including BioNTech. The Wiesbaden-based Company could be in for an exciting fall. A weaker US dollar would give a boost to the gold price. Gold explorer MAS Gold should be able to profit from this. Nordex has at least full coffers after two capital increases but continues to have problems. However, Jefferies advises buying.

Time is of the essence! Bavarian Nordic, XPhyto, Valneva

  • Biotechnology
  • Covid19

Resourceful investors always bet on corresponding stocks when new pathogens or disease patterns become known. BioNTech was one of the early movers in the case of COVID-19, but so were several other stocks that are now unknown again. Even for monkeypox, there have long been stocks that have profited - for example, the share of smallpox vaccine manufacturer Bavarian Nordic which recently rose sharply. We explain the hype around pharmaceutical stocks and outline where there could still be potential now.

Fall is coming: BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, CureVac, Valneva - Which biotech stock will surge again?

  • Biotechnology
  • Covid19

The summer of rising incidences is making its way, but the public has already shelved the pandemic measures and hospitals are filling up again. Even if no one wants to talk about it anymore, the fourth wave is coming! Worldwide, the race for suitable vaccines or treatment methods continues. Medicine is still relatively helpless as far as treating severe cases is concerned, and the subject of post-COVID is considered completely unexplored. We take another critical look at the landscape of biotech stocks.

MorphoSys facing a takeover? Exciting autumn ahead for BioNTech and XPhyto

  • Biotechnology

Biotech investors could be in for an exciting autumn. After some sharp price corrections, positive things are happening again in the biotech sector. For one thing, the takeover carousel. It all started in June when Pfizer announced the acquisition of migraine specialist Biohaven for USD 11.6 billion, and GlaxoSmithKline plans to swallow Sierra Oncology for around USD 1.9 billion. Recent deals include the acquisitions of ViaCyte, La Jolla Pharmaceutical and Pliant Therapeutics. MorphoSys is also a possible takeover candidate. It could be a win-win for the German biotech company if the price is attractive. Xphyto could also see at least one investment, as a market-ready product has great potential.

Waiting is not an option! BioNTech, MAS Gold, BASF

  • Gold
  • Biotechnology
  • Inflation

Inflation is rising and rising. In construction, inflation has already reached almost 20%. Even in everyday life, double-digit inflation rates are not far away. At the same time, infection figures are rising, and it is still uncertain whether gas will flow through Nord Stream 1 again in the coming weeks. Given this mixed situation, many investors are asking how they should invest. Because one thing is clear: waiting is not an option - the real return on many asset classes is clearly negative. We take a look at three stocks and check their future prospects.

Easing at BioNTech and BASF, and Almonty Industries with a clear signal

  • Tungsten
  • Biotechnology

Concerns about the onset of a global recession are increasing dramatically, as shown by the economic data published last week. As a result, almost all asset classes corrected, and the fluctuation range increased enormously. In addition to the stock markets, which have been in a correction for months, crypto and precious metals prices also fell sharply. Even the oil price, which has been booming due to the Russian sanctions, was dragged down. At current levels, however, attractive, anti-cyclical entry opportunities are emerging.

A big surprise at BioNTech, and what are Valneva and NervGen doing?

  • Biotechnology
  • research

Surprise at BioNTech: competitor CureVac sues the Mainz-based biotech company for alleged patent infringements. Specifically, the lawsuit concerns BioNTech's Corona vaccine, which is based on mRNA technology. CureVac founder Ingmar Hoerr, in turn, is considered the discoverer of this new vaccination technology. However, CureVac failed with the development of its own Corona vaccine. Valneva also had no luck with its Corona vaccine, but it seems to have an attractive product pipeline. Nevertheless, the euphoria over the entry of the US pharmaceutical group Pfizer has faded. The situation at NervGen is different: according to experts, NervGen could achieve its greatest success in decades with NVG-291 in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. Tomorrow, a capital increase is to be completed, and the share price will likely regain momentum.

Rheinmetall and Hensoldt stumble, good opportunities in XPhyto and Deutsche Telekom

  • Defense
  • Biotechnology

As a result of the shockingly weak economic data from the eurozone, the euro fell to its lowest level in almost 20 years with an exchange rate of 1.028 against the US dollar and is currently not far from parity. This crash was followed by European equities, with the DAX recording a new low for the year. Even last week's high flyers, defense stocks, were hit hard with double-digit daily losses. Despite the current correction, there are attractive long-term, anti-cyclical entry opportunities in many sectors at current levels.
