Millions with innovations: BioNTech, Meta Materials, Varta

  • Biotechnology

When the long-forgotten solar company SolarWorld went public in 1999, n-tv ran commercials that, from today's perspective, looked rather amateurish. At that time, too, only a few private investors were initially convinced by the Company. Years later, SolarWorld was a success story - investors from the very beginning had become rich. Even though the Company filed for insolvency in the meantime and burned a lot of money - SolarWorld investors of the first hour are mostly still wealthy. We explain where innovations can develop blockbuster potential.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Valneva, CureVac - Stocks with blockbuster potential!

  • Biotechnology

With the Ukraine crisis, international vaccination activity has taken a back seat. The world's northern hemisphere is gearing up for next summer, so flu diseases are also slowly taking a back seat. However, the COVID virus will likely continue to mutate over the summer and will reappear in a new guise in the fall. Germany's maximum vaccination rate of 76% has been reached, with just under a quarter of the population ultimately foregoing vaccination after lengthy public measures. For the major biotech companies, it is now a case of - The country needs new products! There are still many areas of application in the field of mRNA. Which stocks stand out with their pipeline?

Valneva, Triumph Gold, BioNTech - Gold rush mood in the pipeline

  • Gold
  • Biotechnology

While the Corona measures are eased in Spain, and the government lets symptom-free positive tested persons out of quarantine, Germany tightens again and extends the measures. This could create a gold-rush mood among BioNTech investors, as figures from the Mainz-based biotech Company will be announced on Wednesday. Valneva is also looking ahead with confidence to the first shipment of its liquid gold in the form of the COVID-19 inactivated vaccine. For investors with a more earthy disposition, it is a good idea to look at the real precious metals and gold deposits these days. For example, an investment in Canada's Triumph Gold Corporation offers copper and diamond deposits in addition to gold. The Company specializes in the discovery and development of gold and other valuable commodity deposits.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Moderna - New target groups to boost business

  • Biotechnology

Infection figures remain at record levels. Health authorities reported 283,732 new infections to the Robert Koch Institute, 21,139 cases more than a week ago. In contrast, the pace of vaccination is limping, with the vaccination status of the overall population changing only marginally and remaining at 75.8% basic immunization. Chancellor Scholz is now calling for compulsory vaccination to counter the threat of another wave of Corona in the fall. This message is likely to be grist to the mill for the vaccine manufacturers, whose ratings, similar to the vaccination rates, have dropped sharply in recent weeks.

In the right place at the right time: BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Bayer

  • Biotechnology

For years, the pandemic has kept the world on tenterhooks. Currently, the epidemic is taking a break, at least in the media. But while the world is looking tautly at Ukraine and more and more refugees are arriving in Germany, the Omicron figures are rising once more. In some cases, the incidence in Germany is over 3,000. Although fewer and fewer people are dying, more people than ever are in quarantine. We look at BioNTech, a typical pandemic stock, and present other exciting investments from the healthcare sector.

Attention - MorphoSys, Valneva, CureVac, MAS Gold: These shares smell of a turnaround!

  • Gold
  • Biotechnology

The biotech sector, especially around vaccine manufacturers, has recently fallen somewhat out of fashion - Germany's most extensive Corona measures have likely already taken place. The general willingness to vaccinate can hardly be increased, and the vaccination obligation was dropped without a trace after lawyers formed a massive wave of lawsuits. But now that the Omicron infection figures are exploding to unimagined heights, we can expect a hot autumn again after a summer with a breather. "Corona has come to stay!" said Karl Lauterbach when he was not yet health minister. We take a look at some shares that have recently rebounded strongly.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Shares with blockbuster potential!

  • Biotechnology

Developing a blockbuster drug is the highest achievement in the pharmaceutical industry. A blockbuster is defined as a drug that can generate more than USD 1 billion in revenues per year. According to experts, the vaccine Comirnaty, developed by BioNTech and Pfizer, is likely to have brought in sales of well over USD 30 billion, thus clearly breaking the blockbuster barrier. Outside of vaccine research, there are also numerous companies with high long-term potential.

Valneva, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Blockbuster potential

  • Biotechnology

Every pharmaceutical or biotech company wants a blockbuster. This term refers to a drug that generates annual sales of at least USD 1 billion. The best-known blockbuster drug currently is the Corona vaccine from BioNTech. In 2020, the rheumatism drug Humira was in the top spot with sales of over USD 20 billion. The Mainz-based vaccine manufacturer is likely to have significantly surpassed this mark in 2021. If a company hits the big time, it can reap the rewards for 20 years before the patent expires. Today, we take a look at three companies that have potential blockbusters.

Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Merck KGaA - At the start of the trend

  • Biotechnology

The biotech industry is the innovative engine for a pharmaceutical industry dependent on new concepts due to the shift from blockbuster products to personalized medicine. Even before Corona, more than EUR seven billion per year was invested in R&D in 2019. The development of new drugs is particularly important for the pharmaceutical industry, as patent protection for many blockbuster drugs is expiring or has already expired. For this reason, the pharmaceutical industry is now much more often entering biotech companies in the early development phases of a new drug. The example of vaccine manufacturers has successfully highlighted this strategy, which will also be applied to other diseases in the future.

Cardiol, BioNTech, Novartis - Inventory at three high-flyers

  • CBD
  • Biotechnology

Good news, this time from Cardiol Therapeutics. Both the US FDA and regulatory authorities in Brazil and Mexico have given the green light for the inclusion of patients already vaccinated against COVID-19 in the LANCER trial. The opening with respect to this patient group increases the likelihood of a speedy trial completion. The pandemic cannot be over until global efforts are made to fight the virus together. So BioNTech will build a plant in Rwanda. And Novartis, as an experienced Big Pharma giant, illustrates through its quarterly figures how valuable the pharmaceutical industry as a whole can be as an investment.
