BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Paion - Rising Attractiveness and Lots of Movement
The current geopolitical uncertainties with escalating conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, as well as fears of recession with continued high inflation, have also impacted the capital-intensive biotech sector. In the past week, the Nasdaq Biotech Index fell to its lowest level of the year. Since the beginning of the year, the loss amounts to almost 12%. This level should offer excellent entry opportunities for long-term investors, as many biotech companies are currently very well-positioned and attractively valued.

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Bayer - Redefining the frontiers of medicine
The biotech and pharmaceutical sector is playing an increasingly important role in our society. This can be attributed primarily to demographic change, as people worldwide are getting older and older. As life expectancy increases, so does the prevalence of age-related diseases such as cancer and heart disease. These two disease categories place a significant burden on healthcare systems and require innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. After Corona, this could be where the next global blockbuster is developed. We look at three interesting candidates.

Lots of activity in the biotech sector - Novo Nordisk, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys

After Amgen successfully concluded the acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics for USD 116.50 per share or a total volume of around USD 27.8 billion, further investments by Big Pharma in innovative and promising technologies will likely follow soon.

Buy biotech stocks now? BioNTech, Morphosys and Cardiol Therapeutics in check
In times of high interest rates, the wheat is separated from the chaff, even in the biotech sector. After all, young research-based companies, in particular, have a high demand for capital. But at the moment, all companies are being lumped together. This opens up clear buying opportunities because some have full coffers. BioNTech belongs to this group. Thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine, research is fully financed. The same goes for Cardiol Therapeutics. The share of the Canadians is one of the summer's high flyers, and the recent price setback offers an entry opportunity. The analysts' price target is over 300% above the current level. And what do analysts say about the German biotech veteran Morphosys? Goldman Sachs has tripled its price target.

Defence Therapeutics, Schott Pharma, Allianz Group: Focus on Innovation, Growth and Portfolio Optimization
According to a recent study, biotech company Defence Therapeutics achieves twice the immune response of conventional mRNA therapies with its Accum® mRNA technology. That translates to fewer side effects and a more effective treatment. According to Precedence Research, the market size for mRNA therapeutics is projected to reach approximately USD 137.59 billion by 2032. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2023 to 2032. In order to inject these active ingredients, precision-fit medical vials are required, and Schott Pharma is ensuring this with their IPO launched on the German stock exchange this week, which could bring a valuation of around EUR 4 billion. The Allianz Group, on the other hand, is focusing on consolidation, selling its business in the Middle East and thus flushing around EUR 210 million cash into its coffers.

Cardiol Therapeutics, BioNTech, BYD - At top speed to new markets
Cardiol Therapeutics is enjoying a remarkable development. The biotech company is now rolling out its ARCHER patient recruitment trial internationally at 35 participating centers. This accelerates research in the development of their therapy to combat myocarditis, a heart inflammation which has been associated with COVID-19 vaccination. For Cardiol Therapeutics, this represents an opportunity to get its therapy approved as an orphan drug. Approval is also at stake for BioNTech. With a multimillion-dollar funding boost, the Company is working on accelerated approval for a vaccine against a virus that caused quite a stir last year. The shortened development time is likely to impress investors. While business nations agree on fighting viruses, they disagree on commodities for the road. The EU would prefer to restrict BYD's successful sales on domestic roads - by imposing tariffs. BYD, meanwhile, is tapping into a completely different market.

Unbelievable! Hands off AI, biotech in rebound! Bayer, Defence Therapeutics, Morphosys
The big fall decline is now over. It is always a difficult time, but the so-called "Triple Witching" went relatively smoothly this time. The European Central Bank (ECB), in its first interest rate meeting after the summer break, decided to raise key rates by another quarter point to 4.00%, up from the previous 3.75% in July. At the same time, it lowered its inflation forecast for 2025 and the outlook for economic growth in the Eurozone for the years 2023 to 2025. Economic risks are increasing, but inflation remains the determining factor for interest rates. Expectations that the US Federal Reserve (FED) will announce an interest rate pause at its next meeting on Wednesday have boosted confidence. Last week's big losers were the recently favoured AI stocks Nvidia, Microsoft and C3.ai. However, the biotech sector has recently started to climb again. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Biotech: Poison cocktail or miracle cure? Defence Therapeutics, MorphoSys, Pfizer
Biotech stocks represent both light and dark. At the end of 2020, BioNtech turned the tide of the pandemic with its Comirnaty vaccine. But many shareholders have also had to endure losses. An example of a loss-maker is the share of the SDAX stock MorphoSys. Between 2020 and 2022, the share lost more than 80%. But what were the reasons for the decline? Are there biotech companies that offer better prospects? We shed light on three stocks from the biotech and healthcare sectors.
