BioNTech, XPhyto Therapeutics, Siemens Healthineers - Corona has triggered a boom
While many companies have suffered greatly from the Corona pandemic, there are also a number of winners. First and foremost, vaccine manufacturers but also diagnostics companies experienced substantial growth rates in sales. Irrespective of Corona, it is increasingly crucial for the healthcare sector to push ahead with digitization, especially in diagnostics. Here, digitization offers the opportunity to significantly increase the quality and speed of diagnoses through artificial intelligence. Time, in particular, is an important factor here. Today, we take a closer look at three beneficiaries of the Corona Crisis.

Defence Therapeutics, Moderna, Evotec - Bet on the front-runners!
Health is our most important asset. Biotech companies that protect it save not only human lives but also reap high profits. The price development of many biotech stocks over the past few months has been breathtaking. Investors are advised to focus on the frontrunners, as the market position gained as a first mover, the leadership position in a niche or innovative solution, will enable the companies to keep their competitors at bay for a long time to come.

Hot autumn for BioNTech, NanoRepro and XPhyto: Nothing works without testing and vaccination
Shares of Corona vaccine and test manufacturers are in for a hot fall. Summer is drawing to a close, and the Delta variant is hard to stop. Calls for stricter measures are growing. Politicians are calling for vaccination premiums and mandatory testing for travelers returning home. The 1st FC Cologne recently announced that it would only allow vaccinated people into the stadium. BioNTech, NanoRepro and XPhyto are among the beneficiaries of this development. The latter Company could also benefit from demands from politicians. SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach called for mandatory "PCR" testing for unvaccinated people before visiting restaurants.

MorphoSys, Defence Therapeutics, BioNTech, Pfizer - The next biotech explosion!
Infectious diseases are diseases transmitted by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses or fungi. Depending on which organs and body parts they affect, they can cause very different symptoms. In Covid-19, we are dealing with a problematic initial situation because not every infected person has apparent symptoms at all. Moreover, the virus can also be transmitted from vaccinated individuals to the next host without any problems. That shows the high relevance of testing, despite increasing vaccination rates. On the one hand, the biotech sector is concerned with diagnostic procedures and, on the other hand, with suitable vaccinations to best prepare our immune system for the fight. In the current pandemic, the coming winter will also indicate the overall effectiveness of vaccines.

XPhyto Therapeutics - Groundbreaking diagnostic platforms of the future
The number of infectious diseases that we humans are fighting today has increased significantly in recent decades, not just because they have become known and researched. Increasingly frequent variants and neoplasms have also led in turn to entirely new disease patterns. An important area upstream of the medical sector is the large diagnostics market. The umbrella term of diagnostics is used in particular in the context of the detection and differentiation of diseases. This is referred to as clinical diagnostics. Many test and diagnostic procedures are assigned to the bioscience sector since studies must first prove their exact validity. Worldwide, more than 10,000 companies are involved in symptom research, the detection, screening and analysis of the diagnosis of diseases.

Siemens Healthineers, Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech - Tomorrow's blockbusters
The fight against the coronavirus and the possible return to everyday life promises companies in the biotechnology sector billions in profits. At the forefront, vaccine producers such as BioNTech with its pharmaceutical partner Pfizer or Moderna are the primary beneficiaries of the pandemic. In addition, start-ups are emerging from the diagnostics and therapy sectors, whose formulations have blockbuster potential and could follow a similar path to the vaccine manufacturers in the coming years.

BioNTech, XPhyto Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Here we go again
The numbers of new SARS-CoV-2 infections in Germany are rising again, albeit still at a relatively low level. Due to the spread of the Delta variant, Health Minister Jens Spahn warns of incidences beyond the 800 mark as early as this fall. In addition to masking and spacing, the issues surrounding vaccines against the various mutations and regular, reliable testing are returning to the front pages of the news pages.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac - What is next?
Are you smiling or shaking your head? Both are easily understandable reactions that investors might have in light of the latest statements from the Deutsches Aktien Institut (DAI). The DAI calls for better conditions for IPOs of growth companies to prevent such companies from migrating to foreign stock exchanges, as happened with BioNTech, among others. "Especially companies with specialized business models and high financing needs are dependent on foreign investors," explained Uta-Bettina von Altenbockum. However, this is not a new phenomenon either. Other countries have been creating better framework conditions for corporations and better tax incentives for investors for a long time. Own goal. What opportunities are there?

CureVac, XPhyto Therapeutics, BioNTech, NanoRepro - Continuous testing or vaccination or both?
Public confusion reigns. The pandemic seems to be locked in chains over the summer, and the population is happy about initial relief with incidences below 10. But now, the first vacationers are already coming back, partly from risk or mutation areas and have to go for testing again as vaccinated persons. It is often forgotten that even those who have been fully vaccinated can be carriers of the virus and can also fall ill, so it should be clear to everyone that personal protective measures must continue to be kept high. Our life with the COVID virus will last much longer than many want to believe...

Siemens Healthineers, Cardiol Therapeutics, CureVac: Where there is music to be heard by the end of the year
Health is the highest good. Anyone who has ever experienced people having the "plug pulled" on them overnight can undoubtedly relate to this truism. Fortunately, medicine in this country is able to provide a quick remedy. A wide range of options are available for both diagnosis and therapy. In addition to laboratory analyses, imaging procedures also ensure that disease patterns can be narrowed down and, thus, treatments can be carried out in a targeted manner. Although our drugs are already powerful, new, more innovative approaches are emerging all the time. This development is also benefiting investors.
