Biotech Alert! Morphosys, Bayer, BioNTech and Defence Therapeutics
Morphosys is not for the faint-hearted. After unclear study results, the stock gave up its annual gains within a few days. Analysts are also divided on what the future holds. On December 10, the study details will be released, hopefully shedding light on the situation. Bayer shareholders are currently seeing dark clouds. The stock plummeted from EUR 40 to EUR 30 in a short time. Is the dividend now at risk, or is the entire company in jeopardy? There is a slew of positive news for Defence Therapeutics. Can the stock break out of its sideways trend? A potential partner for the Canadians could be BioNTech. The German biotech favourite is working with full coffers on cancer vaccines. However, analysts remain cautious.

MorphoSys, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Where will the rebound start first?
2023 was a challenging year for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. After the boom years of the Corona pandemic, many companies went into a tailspin. But not just vaccine manufacturers were hit; others were dragged down too. The markets are currently volatile. MorphoSys has seen a peak gain of 145% since the beginning of the year - but is currently only up 35%. Cardiol Therapeutics has also gained over 140% and has recently consolidated. The share is currently up 74% since the beginning of the year. Only Bayer's performance curve is pointing downwards. The share is currently worth 34% less than on January 2. We look at where the rebound will start first after the consolidations.

Buy now? Morphosys, Siemens Energy and Desert Gold share
What do renewable energies, biotech and gold have in common? Shares from these sectors have predominantly experienced significant losses in 2023. Morphosys, Siemens Energy and Desert Gold are examples of this. However, the underperformers in the current year are often among the top performers in the upcoming year. Can this apply to these three shares? In the case of Morphosys, the latest study data has been confusing, and the share has given back its gains of the year. Analysts are now expressing their views. Siemens Energy has lost over 30% of its value due to operational problems, and the price targets of the experts vary widely. Explorer Desert Gold has been quiet recently. Is it the calm before a price jump? In any case, the share is anything but expensive.

Bayer, Cardiol Therapeutics, K+S AG - Clear opportunities after bottoming out
Shareholders of the chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer suffered a black Monday following the discontinuation of a Phase III trial. As a result, Bayer shares fell to their lowest level since 2009. In contrast, there is optimism among other companies for a strong rebound. The biotech sector, in particular, seems to have bottomed out. There is a long-term opportunity for outperformance here, especially with second-tier companies.

Novo Nordisk, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys - The biotechs are coming
The capital-intensive biotech sector was hit particularly hard when the US Federal Reserve began the massive interest rate hikes from zero to 5.5% in the first quarter of 2022. Since then, the broad-based Nasdaq Biotech Index has lost around 20% of its value. With the end of the strict monetary policy, this sector is now likely to experience a revival on the stock market. There is significant catching-up potential, especially among second-tier stocks.

Caution: New Corona wave ahead? BioNTech, Pfizer, Cardiol Therapeutics and MorphoSys on the performance test bench
Smouldering lawsuits from vaccinated patients experiencing severe side effects have caused investors to doubt BioNTech and Pfizer in recent months. Will the plaintiffs be successful in court? This is rather unlikely, as the vaccine manufacturers can always invoke the time component in the fight against the pandemic. After all, what the WHO and all governments wanted was delivered: A quick solution! Moreover, these vaccines were finally approved by well-known health institutes. The biotech investment segment will become exciting again as winter approaches. The infection figures with the new coronavirus variants are rising noticeably again, and around 15% of the population wishes to get vaccinated. Where are the opportunities for investors?

BioNTech and Bayer under pressure - Defence Therapeutics, on the other hand, with good results. Where is it worth investing?
There are currently big losers in the pharma and biotech sector among the companies that were the biggest beneficiaries of the Coronavirus Crisis. Sales at Pfizer/BioNTech are plummeting, and the entire sector is under pressure. In addition, there are patent disputes and increasing cost pressures from health insurance companies, especially in Europe. There are also high bureaucratic hurdles in the EU, meaning that more and more specialists prefer to emigrate to North America. Bayer's pharmaceuticals division is doing well, but the Company is struggling with the legal disputes surrounding the Monsanto takeover. In contrast to the first two companies mentioned, the news from Defence Therapeutics is consistently positive. We examine where it is worth getting in.

More than 300% share price opportunity: BioNTech, Morphosys and Cardiol Therapeutics
Study results, along with acquisitions by Big Pharma, are the drivers of biotech company share prices. However, in the current challenging stock market environment, even positive data can be overlooked. But this opens up opportunities for investors with a little more staying power. Sooner or later, the information is recognized, and stock prices rise, or a pharmaceutical giant makes a move. At BioNTech, for example, the price reaction to the long-awaited news from the cancer pipeline has failed to materialize. Analysts are also cautious. Cardiol Therapeutics is a different story. The Canadians have taken on the fight against heart disease and are making significant progress in their research. The share had more than doubled to EUR 1.08 by the summer. Several analysts see the current setback as a buying opportunity. Experts are also giving the thumbs up to German biotech pioneer Morphosys.

Porsche share, Globex Mining, Bayer AG - Who offers the most profitable return?
Despite good figures, economic turbulence in the major customer China continues to make Porsche cautious about its forecasts for the coming year. The situation is quite different for the explorer Globex Mining, which has a mineral property with the valuable raw material vanadium in its portfolio. Vanadium is used in nuclear power plants, aircraft and spacecraft. Its 1% interest in a mineral property that can generate an expected annual free cash flow of USD 235 million for the next 21 years puts it in a good position. The net present value in this account from the interest is also positive. Bayer, on the other hand, has lost another glyphosate lawsuit. Find out what is so significant about this case here.

Omicron or Pirola? Biotech shows doubling opportunities again! BioNTech, Pfizer, Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys in focus
We had ticked off the Corona pandemic long ago. But if you ask your acquaintances, you may find one or two who have recently been infected with the "Pirola" variant. The official code of the virus variant is BA.2.86, and it was first discovered in Israel. The current infections are spreading rapidly across Europe and have also reached Germany. So far, the new Omicron offshoot appears less contagious than its predecessors. The new symptoms associated with "Pirola" include skin rashes, diarrhea, changes in the mouth and tongue, itchy eyes and surprisingly, sore fingers or toes. What is going on here? It is a reason to look again at BioNTech and some other biotechs. Where are the opportunities lurking?
